Food!!

Now if you cant tell by the fact I am super plush I like food! no LOVE is more like it! I mean who doesn't love at the end of a long or frustrating day and digging into a nice bowl of comfort food, or those Sunday night dinners!  Everyone has those memories and they are great! So here are a few of my favorite foods!!

Chinese food has to be my favorite!! I love it and it is popular in our house because well part of my family is Asian! Dim sum is my personal favorite along with stir fry and war of wanton soup!!





Indian food is really good, if you have never had it go try some!! Curry is great when combined with chicken, naan, and some great yogurt dip!!

Homemade!  Okay I know there are no photos for this but honestly I am scarfing on it as soon as it is ready! Especially homemade scalloped potatoes, or mac and cheese.

And baking will be a whole nother story!

Blessed Be

It's Back!!

YAY!!! Its back on!!

Now to explain the happiness, 1. I'm eating coco mini wheats, and 2 Revolution is back on today!!

I know it may not be the absolute best show on tv but it is pretty dam good! And it came back on!  Now so long as it stays on!!

Life has not been quite as exciting as this show however.  My car keeps breaking down and I think I might know whats wrong with it now! I was informed by a BCAA mechanic that it might be the printed disk in my dash! For those of you uneducated to either cars or technology it looks like this --->  and makes my electronics work! :P This equates to the fact that when my car gives me troubles I now get to beat it!! :D The could end badly for my car!

Also because I am doing all this fun image searching for here, I hate the new google set up!! so yucky and time consuming!

Bright blessings everyone!

Thursday may be hump day!

So after a long week of school and a potential job for the summer we have hit Thursday! ugh! We had a crazy day yesterday on the first day of spring going from heavy rain, sunshine, more rain, lightening and thunder and hail!! It was intense! Now today it is beautiful and sun shiney!! but I have a horrible headache!!  :( The only problem with this is I have to write a paper.  On the plus side I just got a job and now will be able to return to school in the fall!!

I hope everyone is having a beautiful day and have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Happy Ostara let us celebrate with Candles!

Blessed morning beautiful people!
I hope all is well in your lives today and Blessed Ostara to all!

We have found the rebirth of our plants and the renewal of our planet once again! I love the symmetry between candles and rebirth and renewal! you light them and snuff them out and then can melt them down and combine them to make a new one!

I Love candles! If I could spend furiously I would blow too much on candles!! I love the look of them and the way they make you feel!! Plus when you need to set a mood or feel special or make a statement nothing does it better than candles! I wish I had boxes full but alas I do not have money to just spend on whatever so I can only fantasize about days when I can!



















Blessings

I'm Sorry

Hello Lovelies!

First I would like to apologize for not being on here for the last little while! Life and school got way too heavy and blogger started acting up and wouldn't let me on! :( So what happened you may ask?! Well back in August 2012 I lost one of the most important people in my life and was deeply affected! My whole family was crushed and it took a while to get over.  Truthfully I'm still not over it! But I had to move past that and go to school, where 3 weeks in I found out the school cancelled my student loan and I had to move off campus! I will be forever blessed that my aunt and uncle took me in the wonderful people I go to school with chipped in and raised money for the first emergency payment I had to make!! I could not have done it without them! <3 Then in November I had tried to get on here to let you all know what had happened and blogger wouldn't let me on! :S Very stressful but alas I continued on and now am back!! With Spring here, somewhat, and Ostara just around the corner what better of a time to come back! Re-birth and renewal my friends!

So here are some things I am thinking about for Ostara:

- Maybe I will get some candles and light them for the goddess.

- make a pledge to return to studying Wicca and finding my path there.

- Bake something! It has been too long since I made something from scratch and this is the perfect time!






And the next month before school is out:

- well this one is simple! Homework, homework, paper, and exams! Ugh I hate school but Love nursing!



And for the summer:
- well I was hoping to get some animals but then upon further reflection we need to build a new barn and pens! So that means I need to do a LOT of work and spend a bunch of money before I can get any! :(

- LOSE WEIGHT!! this will happen this summer! My friend and I are even going to do kickboxing! :D

- Get a job! Now let us all praise I get a job this summer or school might be cancelled next year!

- Garden! I can't wait to get into my gardens this year and continue on the great tradition left to me by my Nanny! :) Lets hope its a good year for planting!


Wow just so busy!! But don't you worry I will ensure to get some post all qued up so that there wont be such a long break again!! Love you all so much and have a fabulous Saturday!
Blessed be

Cloaks!

Alright, so as the weather changes so does out outdoor wear! and cloaks are one of my favourite things to wear outdoors!! I Love cloaks and I truly mean this!! I personally have made 4 cloaks 2 of which are mine!! I have 5 patterns and endless ideas! I have some from movies, some from patterns and some of my own designs!

Here is one from Gladiator! I love the fur!




It's the concept, looks weird but still cool!

I like this one for its simplicity and "gothic" feel!  Makes me want to wear vampire teeth and go out and play in the night!!

Of course one needs a ridding cloak!! This will defiantly be my next project!! Maybe in a nice plum-ish colour!

 A nod to my heritage and the love of tartan!

 A white one that for some reason I feel should be worn to yoga!

a nod to little red ridding hood
