This year Spring cleaning will have a new meaning for me. To clear out the old energies of the past to create a fresh space for the new seeds of intention to sprout... *smiles*
To move into this every so sensual spring season, prepare your body and mind for the uninhibited pleasure that awaits! Opportunities await before you... you will not see them until the clutter clears! Haha.
Celebrate your life and give thanks for each day.... Make sure you laugh, love and learn. Let the new lover in your life be you.
BTW... the temple bath needs new loofas, towels, and lavendar oil. Also, de-clutter and restock fridge with fresh fruits, cheese and beer! check!

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 8:47 AM{makes a call to the Saranac brewery in New York, the Magic Hat brewery in Vermont, the Bozeman, MT microbrewery, and the Columbia, MO microbrewery and orders a large number of bottles, to be shipped overnight FedEx to the temple to be delivered cold and ready to drink: then makes another call for all the bath supplies to the local Towels and Things store, again, to be delivered post haste.......}
Anybody think of anything else?
Oh yes, a fine commodity.........
{calls four Missouri wineries and 11 California wineries that make the best wines, and gets approximately 30 cases}
There. Order is complete for me.
Celebrating what there is, and anticipating new celebrations from what is coming down the road, I sign myself,

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 8:54 AMRhino! Love the prompt action! How about some Spanish wines, too? Maybe some olives and good cheeses.... -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 9:00 AMOh good idea Diane. I'll have my uncle in Greece send the family olives to the temple. How bout some fresh octopus and baklava? -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 9:10 AMBaklava, sí, but this veggie will pass on the octopus, though I'm sure it's wonderful! -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 11:44 AM{Scribbling his notes furiously from what he's hearing from Diane and Lotus, Rhino, the Serengeti's "Critter of Action", orders fresh melons and fruits to make the mouth water, sun-ripened olives from the Mediterranean, and THEN he orders some of the wines that make Spain, Italy, and France famous....some Beaujolais from France, some limited edition Chianti from Italy, and some fine reds from Portugal and Spain, including a couple of cases of Barco Cuelja that he's laying in for a special occasion....a wonderful wine which blooms in the mouth and has undercurrents of currants and chocolate and leaves a smooth sweet aftertaste. Next, from Belguim, San Francisco, and Switzerland come the finest in chocolates for the celebrations to be held, and THEN (if that's not enough) he imports a couple of chefs from Japan, Italy, France, China, and New York that all have experience with vegetarian cooking as well as everything else.}
Anything else for you, ladies?
We need our priestesses and dancers to be well cared for and superbly happy. In that manner, they can spread the joy of which they are capable to all! -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 11:56 AMOh and please don't forget the green tea ice cream... perfect for cleansing the palette.
Wow! Talk about being pampered... it's almost obscene, Rhino. Hope we have plenty of temple Drachmas to pay for this stuff. LOL
Seriously, I'd be thrilled with a picnic blanket, few bottles of wine, sunshine and some friends to share it with. (of course, after we spring clean) -

Yep, but the other stuff's fabulous, too! Rhino *rocks!* Oh, how about "while" we spring clean?? I can multi-task!

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 9:06 AMGreat post Lotus,
and a good reminder.
I volunteer my masseuse as a source for the lavender oils,bath salts etc.
(Margery Smith)She's been to the herb school here and knows her stuff.
She just delivered a batch of bath salts to my house yesterday with flavors in cedar,lavender,rose geranium,and fir.
I'll bring samples to the Temple and see what everybody likes the most ,(besides the universally adored lavender).
Also I've been thinking about changing out the old thurible for an updated hanging design,sorta like what those wacky Catholics are always swinging around (censor)except in Sacred Geometry forms,sphere, dodecahedron, etc.
And if anyone needs candelabra, I AM the man.
Here's but a dozen samples from more than 100 commissioned pieces...

My dwarf citrus trees are currently blooming in the greenhouse. Shall I move them temporarily into the Temple to share that immaculate scent? -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 2:02 PMRhino.... can we get a dead sea salt bath and special massage ordered up for Diane? That girl has been training her tail to the bone!! -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 2:17 PM*Observing the work being done, and finding it pleasing*
Going off to clean the Temple Loos. Damn those things can get grimy. I think I'll find the resident piss-boy for some help. -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 7:16 AM{Rhino makes more phone calls as he chews on a toothpick to concentrate on the business at hand. He orders a 50 pound bag of Dead Sea salts (unrefined) and a hot tub from Home Depot, then sends the purchase agent for cleaning supplies, and then calls an old Greek buddy of his for both pecan and CASHEW baklava for consumption. He makes sure that his buddy understands...only the finest ingredients are to be used - vegetable oil only and no animal fats, premium grade local honey, and high grade nuts.}
There, Lotus.....that should take care of the needs of the temple for at least a month. I also ordered a couple of preassembled portable buildings for storage, complete with refrigeration units as needed.
Logistics? See a Rhino. We get the job done. -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 7:42 AMDamn, Rhino!
You are amazing! Were you a supply seargant in a former life for USMC? Only those guys and the SEALs are that creative when it comes to getting the goods.
OUTSTANDING! -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 8:12 AMNope, Todd....I just know that good people need back-up. I've learned from my mistakes, and I know that there's a catalog for damn near anything you want in the world. All you gotta do is buy the stuff, or find out where to buy it.
Then, there's just a whit of common sense involved.
You don't go to the Chinese restaurant for grits.
And you didn't include geologists in your list. We're all outstanding......out standing in the field, aquiring data.....lol.
My Dad may have had something to do with it. He went to San Francisco once for a meeting and he said that one needs to 'do as the locals do'. He followed Chinese people to find the best restaurants in Chinatown, and looked at the local paper's restaurant reviews for hints on where to eat.
I've done the same in my career. I know all the 'hole-in-the-wall' joints in Missouri to eat, get a beer, or whatever. Imagine this: a FULL 1/2 chicken dinner that melts in your mouth, with FRESH green beans, mashed potatoes (REAL ones, not from flakes), roll, and iced tea...PLUS dessert in downtown St. Louis.....for under 10 bucks. Beat that. -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 8:32 AMHey my "hole in wall" is close to my dance studio... vegetarian Indian cuisine... roti, paratha, paneer, samosas, dal, raita...Mmmmm... Oh, and it's all you can eat for 6.99.

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Mon, March 31, 2008 - 8:58 AMI love this, G! And it's so true! De-cluttering is the only way to clear the way for all the good stuff that's waiting. Out with the old, in with the new!! And, you said, "Let the new lover in your life be you." This is so important!! Pure wisdom. The more you Self feels the love from YOU, the more love there will be to give, and to get back in return. Watch out! It's an infectious landslide!! -

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Wed, April 2, 2008 - 4:37 PMHey lotus...if diane has been working her tail to the bone,
she may need more than a bath and a maassage...a picnic is surely in order -
-
Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 10:32 AM"...more than a bath and a maassage..."

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 11:51 AM<Rhino, in an attempt to keep the ladies happy, gets IMMEDIATELY on the phone......
"Yeah....fourteen patio tables with cushioned chairs.....the king size grill for 50 people, and a couple of long folding tables. Yeah, that's right, we're feeding a small army here. Delivered assembled, right? Great.
Bye.">
OK, ladies and gents.......stuff is on the way for a picnic/BBQ/lounge affair........I'll have the cabana boys sweep the patio for the pool, and make sure everything is perfect. We eat at 5:30.
Somebody start thawing the NY cheesecake.
Guess I get the priviledge of being grillmaster. Any objections?

Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 11:56 AMok, I hate to cause a problem, and you've gone to SO MUCH trouble, Rhino, but do you mind if I bring along a coupla portabella caps for the grill? I'm used to doing that 'cause most grilling fare is meat related, and I'll surely bring more if others are interested -- they make the YUMMIEST burgers. I just forgot to mention it earlier and now the gig's about to start.... -
-
Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 12:38 PMDUDETTE! I LOVE portobellos. Taste just like a thick pork chop to me.
-
Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 1:18 PMDiane, you would be surprised what I can do with an acorn squash on the grill........instead of salt like you'd put on meat, you use just a little bit of raw brown sugar.....And of course a whole variety of lightly grilled vegetables...like carrots, green bell and poblano peppers, and <looking in the port-a-fridge> we already have portabello and shiitake 'shrooms.
Nothing but the absolute best here at the temple for y'all........
All shall be OK.....plus, I'm gently toasting some Hawaiian buns........so I can do some neat things with pineapple and squash.....
<Checks the fire pit>
And if you look down here, you'll see the 'ol dutch oven.......CORNBREAD! -
-
Re: Who's spring cleaning? Temple Sale at the Lilith
Fri, April 4, 2008 - 5:30 PMYUM!! omgs, it's perfect, Rhino! You've though of everything! Even Hawaiian buns!! Okay,speaking of Hawaiian buns, take a break, you cabana boys (and everyone else), and watch this. It'll get you laughing and we love everyone laughing around here:
