I've been really getting into metaphysical crystals and stones lately. A few weeks ago I got myself a selenite pendant (it's supposed to aid in sleep and dispel negativity). I've been reading a lot about Moldavite. Unfortunately, they're danged expensive. I found one for sale on etsy this last weekend for a relatively reasonable price from a place in Nederland and it arrived today, as well as a 9 Planets bracelet that I ordered from MariaShaw.com. I can't wait to work with them and see what comes.



According to the site where I bought it, here is what each of the stones does:

Sun - Orange Jade - vitality, health, energy, happiness
Moon - Moonstone - soothes emotions, increases intuition, safety in travels, brings peace
Mercury - Green Agate - Increases clarity, perception, positive thinking
Venus - Pink Agate - Love, harmony, joy, heals relationships, attraction
Mars - Carnelian - Energy, sex drive, creativity, balance
Jupiter - Yellow Agate - Creates wealth and prosperity
Saturn - Lapis - strength, willpower, healing
Uranus -Amethyst - Aids in psychic abilities, helps one see the truth, spiritual growth and healing
Pluto - Black onyx - dispels negativity, grounding, focus, and structure
Neptune -Fluorite - healing on all levels, dreaming, perception.

Broncos season has begun! They beat the Seattle Seahawks (those bitches that killed us in the Superbowl last year) 21-16. I know preseason doesn't count, but a win last night was needed for the morale of those in Broncos Country. I meant to post a screencap of the final score, but of course I was away from the TV when the game ended. GRRRR! A lightening delay in the first quarter made for a late ending. I'll just have to deal with a pic of the interview with Manning in the locker room after the game.

Apparently there was a brief rain shower this afternoon (which I totally missed), but I did manage to take in the beautiful double rainbow afterwards.

So, I'm trying to knit at least one row every night before bed. Mr. T is pouting - probably upset that I'm on "his" pillows.

The light rail construction project on I-225 is happening right outside my kitchen window. Tonight the lights are aimed right at us. The on-ramp to Northbound 225 from Parker Rd is closed all week, so traffic has been a bear around here.
