From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

Magical Monday 3 Card Spread -  Mind, Body, Spirit  Mind: Ten of Vessels - Happiness: Generous fulfillment of desires from a source that is pure and cleansing. Reward for patience and love given selflessly. True emotional stability and freedom.   Body : King of Vessels - Heron: A deep belief in fairness, honesty and honour colours everything you do. The profound depths of your character, once stirred into action, carry all before it. However, your admiration of self control can sometimes make you appear too rigid.   Spirit: Two of Vessels - Attraction: The initial attraction and exploration of potential. The beginning of a possible relationship or friendship and the precursor to an interchange of polaric energies. Opposition and attraction in life.   Totem for the Week: from Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson  Illustrated by Angela C. Werneke 44 Hummingbird: If Hummingbird...

So... there has been a bit of a shake up in our little world recently. Seth found out a week or so ago that as of January 1 he no longer has a job in the school district he has been working in for the last 5 years. They had a massive budget shortfall this year and after a ridiculous double levy (property and income tax hikes) didn't pass they cut almost all extracurricular activities and the 26 custodians with the least seniority, of which Seth was number 13. I know we will make it through this, and hopefully he can find a job relatively fast, but the timing is awful. With the holidays and being in the middle of solidifying plans for and beginning to pay for the wedding. I'm keeping as positive as possible, but it's hard not to be a little stressy with the economy and such. That being said last week was not my best week diet wise. I hate to say that I let the stress take me off track, but I totally did. The fact that it was finals week just compounded the crazy. I was try...

Things are changing again. With Seth and I getting engaged and the knowledge that a wedding is something we will be paying for I have made the decision that full time school is just not an option. So I'm going to keep working full time and go to school part time. For the time being I will keep working at Huntington, but I will probably keep looking for another full time job. I just don't want to have to wait 5 years to actually get married and honestly I want a wedding... even if it is just a small one, because I look at it as a really big craft project. School starts on the 22. I will be taking English and Math...yay prerequisite courses. Speaking of craft projects, I am brainstorming as to what I want my theme to be for ATCs I am trading with K of Banterings of a Basketcase. I'm thinking something fall/ Halloween as I have that on the brain currently, but I will just have to see what comes out. Ooh... just had a thought. :) I need to get back to working on my altere...

I think I'm pms-ing or something, I'm just super emotional today. I keep getting angry, then sad, then I'm fine... It's the full moon so I know that's a little of it. I'm just so flippin sensitive. I should go to bed and pretend I don't exist the rest of the day. I heard from my swap partner today and feel like crap for being so stressy about not hearing from her, apparently her Grandpa died last week, which is why she was not in touch. Man do I feel crappy for complaining now. Not that I could have had any way of knowing, but... In other news it's only 2 weeks until my birthday. I am so looking so forward to my shopping day with mom and Shmoo. We did this last year and it was so much fun. We just ran around on high street all day, going from shop to shop, mostly window shopping. We started with breakfast at Jack and Benny's and went from there. I'm so looking forward to the 13th. I'm also looking forward to next Saturday, because Seth and I ...
