Feeling Friday

Today has been a good day.
My new function at work is fun and challenging.
After work I picked up my new KitchenAid mixer.
When I got home tonight I had a letter waiting from my lovely penpal in the UK Hannah. And accompanying the letter were some sweets, and an adorable tiny elephant candle.
I made grilled cheese to go with my soup for dinner tonight and it was delicious.
I did a mini spell that my brother and sister-in-law and their family get approved for the wonderful new house they applied for, so they can get settled before Christmas. Especially since it is the first one for our tiny nephew Gideon.
I am snuggling with my cat and my dog, while watching the Columbus Blue Jackets play the Philadelphia Flyers.

He's so little, heehee.

Sweets.
 
I am feeling more like myself again. It was a little rough there in September and October. But things have been really good recently. Tomorrow I am a volunteer for Columbus' Craftin' Outlaws, after which we will be having Thanksgiving with one half of Seth's family. We will be doing a four mile walk/run on Thanksgiving morning. I should graduate in the first part of December with my associate's degree, and then I will start planning for moving on to my bachelor's. We are getting set to rearrange the house to make room for Yule trees. :) Then we are cleaning the carpets to have everything nice and fresh for holiday gatherings. I have the whole week of Christmas off this year. I am planning a ridiculous amount of baking. I am working on my goals for the next year. I am looking for a place to take group fitness classes. I feel motivated and great. Here's to more of that.
 
Recent favorite things:
Arabian Sandalwood oil from Violet Flame Gifts
Brother's Drake Meadery Sour Paw-Paw Mead
Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream in Black Cat Espresso
Chicken and Waffles from Taste of Belgium in the North Market
 
More soon.

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... I did a lot of them.  Andrew and Amanda haunting the food tables.  Look at me giving readings.  Our pumpkin chunking platform. Essentially we attack pumpkins with weapons.  Seth lining up a pumpkin for destruction.  Wow... those are some dead pumpkins.  Axes a...
