Life goes on and on...

My classes are keeping me buzzing, and my blog is taking the biggest hit for that. So if you were wondering that's where I have been. Writing essays like a fiend, 4 in the last 4 weeks.

I also have done some fun things, or set up fun things to happen.

I got tickets to see Beats Antique as they make their way to Columbus on tour. My bellydance comrades and I are going to rock that house.

I also bought tickets to see Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra in November in Chicago.It will kind of be our honeymoon.

This weekend upcoming (the 21st) Mom, Shmoo, Janet, Sherb and I are doing The Color Run here in Columbus. The concept is that every K of the 5 K they pelt you with pigment. So you wear white and become super colorful as you go. I am really excited and will hopefully have some great photos. 

This weekend past was the celebration of my baby sister turning 21, which was way more traumatic than turning 30. We went to Dave and Buster's and drank and played. Then on Sunday, Mom and I paid for Shmoo to get her latest tattoo, which is actually a tribute piece to my mother and I. We were both born in the year of the rooster in Chinese Astrology, so Shmoo got skeletal roosters on either side of her lower back, meeting in the middle of her back. 



That's my life as it is right now, busy, busy, busy. I am going to try to get more updates on here than I have, but it may be spotty until Mid August. I have a lot to share though,so more is coming.

Beats Antique came to Madison last summer and it was absolutely the best concert I've ever been to. There were tons of bellydancers in the audience too, so the place was LOUD. :) It's going to be a blast!

I took a look at the Color Run link and I'm so looking forward to it coming up here. I can't wait to see photos from your run!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"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...
