It's beginning to look a lot like...


Yule!! My house is almost ready for the season to begin. I have two parties at my house on the 15th, so I need to be ready. Here are some pics of everything so far. I plan to get a tabletop fresh tree for my dining room table and I want to string popcorn for it. I haven't done that in years and I really have a desire to do it. 










I had a meeting with an advisor from school today, and I was able to change my major and get a plan of action for the next several semesters. I am now officially an English major!! I am beyond excited about this. I feel like I am truly working toward a major I really want to study and toward a career I really want to pursue. I also got my classes scheduled for Spring. This means something else off my goal list for the next year. Woo-hoo! I'm chipping away at it little by little.

I have several more things in the works, like my sister's going away party, and holiday crafting. I'm on a roll. 



* I will throw an amazing going away party for my little sister * I will make Yule gifts for my family and send cards to all my friends * I will register for and run Warrior Dash again * I will make Thanksgiving dinner for my family * I will find a volunteer opportunity at a homeless shelter or food bank during the holidays * I will start taking bellydance again * I will help my mom find a new apartment in Columbus, and get her moved * I will get our bedroom, the guestroom and the computer room in usable order * I will make new friends and reconnect with old * I will set and keep a budget and pay off VS, Dell and Best Buy * I will finish cleaning and getting my craft room in good working order * I will celebrate the full wheel of the year * I will start learning to play acoustic guitar * I will keep up my healthy diet and exercise program, and get down to a size 10 * I will get to where I can do 25 regular pushups * I will sign up for a gun safety course and go to a shooting range * I will take the art class Bobbi got me for my wedding shower (taking it on the 8th) * I will go on an actual vacation * I will attend at least 2 rennaissance faires I have never attended * I will try my hand at making my own bodice * I will start skating and training for Derby again * I will decide on a course of study and talk to the college * I will get my next tattoos * I will find a new family doc and get a check up and blood work done * I will watch less TV * I will take more weekend trips * I will keep my GPA at 3.0 or higher * I will throw an amazing Halloween party 2013 *

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...
