Thrift Store Finds

I went to the Ohio Thrift Store on Friday Night, and it was an amazingly good find day. I spent $24 total and I bought the following.
An Awesome Silver Tray. 
A tarnished but beautiful tea set with three goblets, all silver plated.
An awesome bottle with Bacchus on it. 
And a clear glass tea set for blooming teas. :) 

Life is going good. I'm still losing weight. My current weight loss total is 35.5 pounds. Going strong. And my friend Janet and I decided tonight that we are going to do the Warrior Dash in June. Basically it's a "race" with an obstacle course in it. And they encourage costumes and silliness, so we have decided we have to do it. I am really excited by the idea. :) 

I got my second English essay back today and was really excited that I got a 98% on it. Hell Yeah. I am so freakin' excited by that. Which means I should be getting an A in the class. Rock!! I have a Math test tomorrow night, but I am feeling pretty confident about the concepts on it, so it should go well. 

More later...

Good going on the weight loss and congrats on the great essay results.

My husband would die for that flask! If you ever consider parting with it let me know and we can try to work something out!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

I decided once again this year to join Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist in a Halloween Party in blogland. This year though I decided to have an actual Halloween party and post the photos from that. So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl. Could you tell?  The back of me.  Charlene (Goddess), Chelsea and Rachel (Bee) watch me give Bobbi and tarot reading.  Amanda, Mike and Chris...just hanging out.  Charlene and Rachel still watching me do readings...

Essentially we attack pumpkins with weapons.  Seth lining up a pumpkin for destruction.  Wow... those are some dead pumpkins.  Axes a...
