I've been tagged.
Rules: "Each player starts with eight random facts/habits or
embarrassing things about themselves. People who are tagged need to
write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At
the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and
list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them
they're tagged, and to read your blog."
1- I still have a tattoo that is unfinished and I am scared to go down to have it worked on because this one actually hurt!
2- I don't have the same password for all my different accounts all over the net. And I have remembered them all!
3- I am terrified of spiders
4- I'm addicted to purses! I love to shop for them
5- I dance around the living with my kids to the Wiggles or anyone cartoon or show they are watching
6- I know how to change the oil in my car!
7- I love to do Sudoku puzzles, and I just learned about them less then a month ago.
8- My mom is my best friend!
Now, sending this on to 8 people will be a challenge because I don't know 8 people online, so I won't list it here...
This is the week that the County Fair is in town. This is the busy week. It will be so much fun. I work at one of the local private club booths (non-profit organization) and it's such a blast I get along with so many of them, and just about all of them know that I am Pagan. And none of them care which is so so nice. In fact they even have me on the board for the club.
It's nice to take the kids to the fair also. I love walking around and looking at all the things that the vendors are selling. The kids love to go and look at all the animals and see them and touch them. They of course love the food and love to eat there. There are some vendors from around the state and even different states that sell "new age" type stuff. It's always so fun to look and see what they consider "new age". Even though Paganism has been around for a very long time, it's odd to see them classify it as new age. I'm usually able to find some sort of celtic jewelry or something like that. I found my alter clothe from the fair. It's beautiful, purple and has pentagrams on it with Celtic knots around the border. I'm looking forward to getting some great incense from my favorite incense man that it there every year.
I'll be busy this week and don't know if I will be able to post a whole lot, but I'm going to try sometime. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Today is my anniversary, I can't believe that it has been 9 years already. Crazy how time flies so quickly. 9 years, we have 2 beautiful kids, wonderful home, and just in general a great life to show for what he have been through.
I had a friend call me a few weeks ago that I haven't talked to in months and months. He calls and says, "I need you to do a spell for me". I was kind of taken back a little because all of my non-Pagan friends now, that, I feel that it is rude to be asked to do a spell. I think that it is something that needs to be done on my own accord. I ask him about what is going on and why he needs a spell. He tells me about his ex whom he has a child with. He tells me that she is seeing this Aussie man and she is going to marry him, but she is still having my friend over and having his "benefits" (If you know what I mean). Tells me that he knows I can't mess with personal will and all that stuff but he wants something to happen so these 2 don't end up together and something bad happens to the Aussie man.
This is were I get a little upset. You know I can't change personal free will but you don't want these 2 to end up together and something bad happen to the other guy. I'm not going to do that kind of stuff sorry. If you really knew me, you would know that, that is not the type of stuff that I do. I told him that I didn't know if I could do something like that and I'd get back to him. Instead the night of the full moon. I lit a candle for my friend to help him ease his mind and let the natural just happen. He called me a couple days later and tells me, its ok, I don't have to do anything, he's feeling a little better about what is going on.
Well, tonight one of my friends is getting "handfasted". I will be performing the ceremony. The 2 have picked out a traditional handfasting ritual, with a rose ceremony ritual at the beginning. It is going to be a gorgeous ritual. I'm looking forward to performing it. As a Wiccan Priestess in the area that I am in. You don't get a big chance to perform many handfastings. I have done 3 weddings this year in a non-denominational setting but not a handfasting. I has been a little over a year since I have done a handfasting. The 2 had to bump the wedding up because he has gotten called back to serve. He has to go back to Iraq on Saturday. They wanted to do their ceremony as close to Lammas as they could. So, I guess today works out well.
Other then that, all is going well in the life of me and my family. School is going to be starting up in a few weeks. Fair is just 2 weeks away. Then the end of the month my sister and I are going to San Fran. It's going to be a busy busy month for me. Can't wait till the beginning of September when mom and I go to Vegas. That is going to be a blast!!!!
