Well here we are at the final farewell to this blog. It was fun, it really way but I am a different person then I was and I need to start anew. So, I began a new blog and here is the link.

In the end I'm still me, but I have out grown this blog. And lets be honest, I never posted here enough anyway. I have learned a lot about blogging in the last six months. I hope to become a better blogger amongst other things. Anywho, if anyone ready my posts and wants to follow me over feel free to. I would love to have you.

Fare the Well, and Happy Holidays
Well, I know that I sorely lack readers for this blog so I doubt that anyone has been missing my sporadic posts. However this will probably be my last post on this blog. I am moving to a different blog because it just irks me to have multiple emails to remember. I never use the one linked to this except for this so I miss any reply emails I receive. I decided since we are starting the new year that I would make this one of the changes for that, so I will be starting up and new blog and linking it to my Facebook. If there is anyone who reads this and would like to follow me over I will post the new URL here sometime in the next few days. On a lighter note I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, whatever anyone else is celebrating and a Happy New Year.

Here we go...
Well, October was definitely an uphill battle for my sanity. I spent think I honestly spent most of it in bed. Between my grandmother dieing and having to deal with my family October wasn't as fun as it usually is for me. Hopefully next year will be better. And here comes the holiday whirlwind that captures us from Halloween through Twelfth Night (Oct. 31th- Jan. 6th). I'm looking forward to the holidays this year more so than usual. This year has been a rather hard year and I (along with the rest of my family) wish for this holiday season to be filled with happiness and abundance. We also have a new little one to celebrate the coming season with and its going to be a joy to celebrate Ella's first Christmas. I must remember to have plenty of batteries for my camera. My family has some great plans for this holiday season if everything goes according to plan. We are thinking about getting a large loan for the holidays so that money won't be a problem and paying the whole thing off when income taxes come in. Which I think would work out quite nicely. We have a lot of stuff we need to get for the holidays and lets not forget the toys for the kids. We want them to have the best Christmas we can give them. I know that we could all breathe a little easier knowing that we won't have to choose between the holidays and gas money.

Death and Insanity
Its been a while since I last wrote. I have been quite busy with the holidays coming up and I will only be getting more so as the time passes. Also my Grandmother died this week so I have a lot on my mind and will be spending time with my family going through my Grandmothers possessions. That's if my family can quit trying to stab each other in the back long enough to get through this. Its just turning out to be one big headache after another. It took my family nearly three days to figure out what we were going to do about the arrangements for my Grandmothers funeral. Amazingly we are going to wait a week until the funeral. I honestly didn't think Grandma would stay fresh that long. They are probably going to have her cremated. That's okay with me, but waiting a week seams a bit drawn out. I just want to get all this over with. Its bad enough that I am upset about losing my Grandmother without having to deal with the insanity that is my family. I just hope they can all behave during the funeral.

Its that time of year again
You know fall is in the air when you wake up and only want to cuddle with your blankets or snuggle up with a warm cup of coffee. Today was one of those days and I missed most of it because I didn't want to leave my snuggly bed. And believe me it was extra snuggly. I have got to start getting up and enjoying this wonderful weather while it is still here. It will be other all to quickly as all good things are in this area. I hate living in the south and can't wait to get up north. Ah, to live up north where the air is cold most of the year. It sounds like a dream come true.
However this is a dream that is going to take quite sometime. Daniel is going to have to find a better career, as am I. We are also going to have to get a reliable car and save up some money for the move. I hope that my land will sale and we will be able to get on our feet from that...eventually. In the mean time our roomies have gotten a wonderful vehicle and are willing to help us in getting better jobs. Lets just hope that I can find a job at all. Either way things are going to get better and I am going to make a point to enjoy all of this that I can.
I have also been planning on working on several of the crafts that I have started. I have to work on my crocheting and the coven Wheel of the Year quilt, the restoration of my mothers jewelry box, and my grandmothers lap quilt. Not to mention the fact that I have been wanting to make a nice harvesty quilt for my bed. I also need to finish my altar and my closet. Tomorrow I am going to get the parts for my closet so it will be done soon. I just need to buckle down and do what I need to do. Its the perfect time of year for me to get these things done.
Also tomorrow is Mabon and we are planning on celebrating but it will be late. Its always late when we celebrate, but Happy Mabon Everyone! I know we all love this time of year. Its nice all day and the nights are cool. Its the perfect time for soups, stews, and other fall dishes. And of course we are in the middle of the harvest season so apples and the like are on sale and needed for so many wonderful concoctions. Halloween and Samhain are also not far off. It always makes me excited to know that where ever I look I will see my favorite things everywhere.

Somethings got to give
So things have been rather uneventful lately. I'm not working as Ella's Nanny anymore so I am now officially looking for a job, and its a lot harder than it sounds. Apparently no where in my area is hiring right now, but hopefully they will be soon since the holidays are coming. I really need to find a job especially since we are having money problems. It doesn't help that my brother screwed us on his portion of the phone bill or that our car has become the rolling money pit. In the end things have to get better.
My roomies checks from the rest of their college loans are suppose to come in this week so I know we will be ok. I should have some money here soon to pay for my loan, which is late and probably going to be another month behind. I admit now that I shouldn't have spent any of my loan money, but I didn't expect there to be such a long break in my pay. I know that it couldn't be helped. Wendi, Ella's Mother, ran into some money problems because they have been cutting her hours at work and she desperately needs those hours to pay her bills.
I know how she feels, my Daniel isn't doing so well either. He lost a day at work earlier this month and it hurt his pay badly. Unfortunately he also lost four hours last Friday because we had to take Grandma to chemo. And that is going to be on his next check. Maybe things will get better and one of the other jobs he applied for will call him. Something has got to give. Either I need to find work or he needs to find something better. I can only pray that things improve her soon, before the holidays.

Happy 'Erin' Day!
Well today has been a rather good day, it is a football Saturday and also my friend Erin's Birthday. Happy Birthday Erin! You know I had to give her a shout out. I hope she has a wonderful birthday and enjoys what we were able to get her cause I spent 4 hours at Walmart with my sister going over birthday stuff. Unfortunately this happens to be a penny pinching year so we weren't able to get her much. Hell I was only able to get her a cheap garbage can, but it was something she needed and I was pretty much broke. I do wish we could have gotten her more this year, but hey Yule is coming and there is always next year.
Anywho, I have been going thru the blogs I am following, which is turning out to be a new daily activity. And I have been working on my Goddess Rosary or Prayer Beads, which ever you want to call them. I finally decided on my colors and found one of the prayers I want to use with them. I really need to sit down and work on the rest of the prayers so that I can do a post on them when I am done. I have to do another shout out to Lady Caer Morganna at http://thewiccalife.blogspot.com/. Everyone should definitely check out her blog its fantastic. Well I got to run and get my sissy from work. I hope everyone has an awesome day and Happy fall to everyone.
