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.

Plot Bunnies

   Well I did it, I finally wrote and published my first fanfiction. It was only going to be a oneshot, but it has evolved into a multi-chapter fic. I never thought that I would be an author in any fashion and it kind of amazes me that people actually enjoy my writting. I couldn't help it though, the plot Bunnies attacked me and carried me off. They refused to leave me be until I put all of it down on paper. So at the moment I am free from the plot bunnies but there are more coming. Its like I have opened a flood gate and its all coming through.
   I currently have another one in the works that I am going to have to take notes on before the bunnies run off. I hope it ends up being interesting and enjoyable. This one is definitely going to be a multi chapter affair and I have no idea on the rating either. I may even work on my poetry again and some fiction pieces. It all depends on how my muse attacks and what I have going on at the time. I also have several projects around the house that I am working on. I am painting a few boxes and still working on my room and altar. Lets not forget about the prayerbeads that I have been working toward making as well. I also need to purchase fabric for Halloween costumes and other projects. Oh and I really want to get a wood burner and finish my wand too. There are so many ideas and plot bunnies playing in my head that I just don't know what to do first.
