We were supposed to get our internet on Friday the 16th which we did at 6.30pm it worked great till 1.30 am and died then didn’t come back till Sunday at around 8am then died at 4 pm so we finally got someone out here to look at it on Monday at around 5pm but it didn’t get fully fixed till yesterday at about noon XD. So last night I had a WoW raid to attend lol but then I went to sleep.

So this new place (which pics of will come soon) is great plenty wrong with it but sooooooooooooooo much better then the last place! Its much much bigger then the last place and it closer to everything (stores, parents, Brian’s work and more) one of my high school buds happens to be living here already lol and I get my own room!!!!!  haha

We painted too!! Anyas room is all light green sponged on white and very pretty mine is “two shades of dirt” Thanks brian…..  but it really looks good and when I’m done with it its going to be like waling into October. The bottom 1/3 is Rare Earth brown and the top 2/3 is a coppery burnt orange, I’m going to be putting leaves blowing around the orange part and piling up on the brown part. my bed, desk, alter, and Light Tent table is in there along with 2 book shelves and a bed side table the room is big! and I love it! The living room isn’t painted yet but it will be rocker girl purple and a very pretty aqua.

We got our $200 Breville juicer and started on our juice fast it’s been 12 days and I’ve lost a total of 26lb! and I feel soooo good and I love concocting the next meals juice from a ton of veggies. I’ll start posting pick and juice recipes on http://nummyvittles.wordpress.com/  My vegan food/ stuff blog ^^. Brian has lost about 20lb but we are both going to keep at it.

I’m only slightly cheating by taking a bite of a vegan larabar, or pure bar each morning so I can take my vitamins but it doesn’t seem to be hurting my results in anyway. I’ll be giving my opinions on them too ^_~.

I’ve also gotten SUCKED into spending my life on Pinterest that site is a perfect example of addiction its so great and I could get lost and spend weeks on there (Just as bad as Etsy). I’ve also already started getting my hand back in with crocheting, I’ve made Anastasia a new Autumn scarf since she was trying to swipe mine lol and I started on making myself a new shawl and I want to get myself a Halloween jewelry set done before Sat. and now Brian wants me to make him a “Blood Red” scarf so once I’m done with all them (hopefully by the weekend) I’ll be starting in on new craft items for the Esty.

Saturday is REN FEST! for us we aren’t taking Anya this year but we are taking my sister and it will be her first time there. I’m mostly going for burnables (incense for my cauldron) and all the great performances but well will see what I come home with lol.

Well thats it for now I’ll be posting a lot more regularly now adays ^^

So here is the rundown; Paint and Curtains cost a lot! lol but hey we are doing good and we will be living in this place at least a year and I just can’t live in another apartment/condo/house/WHATEVER with blindingly WHITE walls that show every speck of anything on them even when all you did was brush against them walking down the hallway. At the school the walls were white, at Brian’s parents house the walls and carpet are white, and this apartment we are in is white IT’S DRIVING ME NUTS!

Whew now with that out of the way……

Anya’s room (which though I picked out all the colors today we only bought her paint) is going to have a really pretty almost pastel green sponged on the white paint already there. My mom has gotten her this huge tree (with owls <—– my addiction) sticker/decal to put on the wall it’s got a cutesy woodland critters thing going on and it matches the (owl) lamp we already have for her.

Oh btw her first words might have been blanket, ball, and bottle but the first one with crystal clarity were Owl and Star XD

So anyway the curtains for her room are a very light palm tree (bright green) green they are going to look so good! I’m also thinking about trying to find a matching round rug that wil cover most of the floor.

My room/ craft room.

Now here is how Brian said the bedroom is going to be. Since he hates our bed (says its to soft, its a memory foam one and it is really soft) he has decided that the room is mine. Meaning I’m going to have the room to sleep in and work in (it is big enough) and he is going to sleep on the futon couch in the living room.

Now I know what most ppl are thinking (Our relationship is fine trust me) But you know what I think I’m liking the idea. Right now when he sleeps in the bed he tosses and turns (and snores) allllll night long which means no matter how many times I fix the sheet on the bed the next day I have to fix it again. I then proceed to make the bed with a top sheet and our huge queen size double layer Korean mink (not real mink or any animal for that matter) blanket. You think he would get in under the sheet and sleep right (how i grew up lol) NO he throws the blanket and sheet off his side (doubling it up on mine) and then wraps another blanket around and between his legs and sleeps like that.

So I’ve been sleeping on said futon for the last week and well first off its not the crappy metal frame with a paper thin mattress on it, no its a nice couch that happens to lay flat if you want it to, which we always do even if not used as a bed. We have a pillow top (memory foam) on it and though its soft its mostly just enough to make it so you don’t feel the dip in the middle (not nearly as soft and the mattress in the bedroom). So the state of the bed in the bedroom? he is sleeping on the mattress with no sheet on it at all *SIGH* take a few minutes to fix it each morning? yeah right!

This is why the idea of a bedroom where half of it is all set up with my monstrous redwood (don’t think its real redwood but its made of wood and looks red) desk set up with my craft and art stuff. My small square table with my Wiccan alter, incense burner (which is a cast iron cauldron yeah ts true (pictures to come) Dream/Journey journal, Wiccan almanacs and datebooks. and My bed actually made and kept made really appeals to me.  Who knows maybe he will see how I sleep and keep things neat and elegant looking and he will want to start acting like a grown up and not a college guy slob.

Mom told me that I belong in old Europe where married couples had their own apartments in the house Her with a bed chamber, changing room, sitting room, and He with a bed chamber, study, and so on LOL. Thanks mom but that’s not the first time I thought I belonged in those times (though I’m glade I’m not burning at the stake doesn’t sound very fun).

Now how its going to be decorated. Well since my favorite time of year, the time of year I feel really alive, productive, happy, and that this is how I wish it was all year if Autumn. So I told mom I wanted my room to look like you just walked into October. The paint in the words of Brian is two shades of brown, though one is called rare earth and the other in more of a peach copper. I’m playing with the idea of getting leaf wall decals but not sold on it yet. The drapes are ‘chocolate’ with some really pretty embroidery on them. I have some really pretty pillows, and other decor items; huge wooden bowl for my yarn I’m working with, a cute little hourglass (though more like 15 min) with brown sand, and a brown bronze copper speckled wooden Owl. The things I already have with go with that to Like my amber glass and metal Owl lamp (which I just love) , my burnt orange and brown sheets, my autumn colored candles and small leaf and acorn shaped bowls and so on. As for lighting in that room I’ll have my big Otte Lite on my desk (though only going to be used for crafting), My amber owl lamp (looking at another owl lamp online that I really like) and I’m going to be putting one string of white led x-mas lights around the top of the rooms and a string of orange led light around the bottom of the room.

This room is going to be my sanctuary I just know it as soon as its done and I walk in there the ideas are just going to flood the place.

Living room:

Since I will have the luxury of my room where I’ll be able to had it pitch black in there if I wish (in the middle of the day). I decided the living room where Anya and I spend most of our indoor day time at should be bright colors and light (instead of my dark Halloween dead forest of a bedroom lol) So its going to be Caribbean blue, purple and white (just be happy mom and Brian that I didn’t throw pink in the mix). The paints are as close as i could get to my favorite true Caribbean blue color and bright purple (like my fractals) and the curtains are going to be aqua base with a white over top and has blue sheer circles which makes it look perfect.

So my new apartment is going to be wonderful and happy place where I’m going to be able to have all my changes go through with ease.

So we also went to Borders right?? I loved Borders, I’d meet my friends there grab a frapachino and sit and flip through the new magazines while chatting away and then run over and grab a new Doctor who book before leaving. I’m going to miss Borders so much

Well today Kate got the 1st manga of Mushishi (LOVE the anime).

I got two big Dinosaur books for Anastasia who just LOVES dinosaurs (darn you Littlefoot) and two New Vegan Books along with a very nice little notebook and a really pretty metal bookmark.

So I’m getting ready for moving, it’s going to be a really busy time. Painting, juice fasting (Brian is going to do it too YA!) sinking more into the vegan madness, MI Ren Fest!! (stock up on incense herbs and other goodies), working out on the Wii, working on French and Korean lessons, learning to cook, crafting, blogging, and maybe breathing (we will see)

^_~

Hugs and Kisses!

In the new place I’m going mostly Vegan (with the final goal being all Vegan)

I’m going to do a Juice fast

I’m going to be working out on the Wii and playing outside with Anastasia (generally getting my health back to where it should be).

The place is going to be Painted so pretty.

I’m going to have a craft room where my desk will be all set up with my laptop having a permanent spot (New netbook being used as an all art/craft/learning tool to blog on the go) with my printer/scanner and tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun) all hooked up.

My desk will also have all my crafting things on and near it so I can get really working on everything I should be working on.

I’ll have another table in there with my Photo box and light tent set up to take lots of great pictures.

A lot of the unnecessary stuff is not even going to get unpacked (and I’ve already weeded out the stuff to be given/donated and thrown away.

I’m going to start cooking (back to the vegan nummyness) and veganizing my moms recipes lol

I’ll be learning French and Korean with Anya

I’ll be furthering my Wiccan, Astronomy, Physics, and Reiki learning

Work on writing my books (craft books and novels)

AND NOT doing all the time wasting things I have been doing lol.

I have also decided to put blogging on my to focus on doing list in the new place. I’ve been packing and realizing how much crap I have in this place that really doesn’t need to be unpacked in the new one so I’ve packed things on a unpacking/leaving pack basis. I figure if there are less things that will equal less mess which equals more time to spend on things like playing and learning with anya and dun dun dun…. Blogging! lol

One more thing My food blog is going to be turned into a vegan food blog and since I’m going to start cooking and Brian is going to keep cooking there should be plenty of  eye candy (in the food department with my new camera)  and lots of nummy recipes.  Like tonight he is making taco tofu and we are having it with lettuce, corn, brown rice and super nummy homemade hot sauce on garlic sauce slathered (well maybe not slathered hehe) fresh baked bread rolls from La Marsa wonderful Mediterranean restaurant down the road.

Hopefully I’ll be able to post some more before the move but we will see ^_^

However she has a wonderful giveaway going on at her blog right now for some custom dyed sock yarn ^_^ soooooooo Tempting. So above it the link to my review and her is the link to her great giveaway!

I’ll be posting more in my different blogs tomorrow and maybe get some pictures going.

Hugs Kisses and Blessed Be!

There was also a lady dressed colonial and using this really old-looking machine. Turns out to be an antique sock knitting machine and she’s making Socks she told me how it works and I watched her make a pair of socks on it. It’s totally awesome and I want one lol Only problem is I haven’t found one for under $1500 and we all know I do not have the money to buy one of those yet lol maybe some day. However I did buy a pair of socks from her though.

Now I want to say here I LOVE ANYA! the girl is totally incredible We brought her to this we had to or I wouldn’t have been able to have gone. She was awake the whole time and everyone loved her and she behaved so well I still don’t believe it. No screaming, crying, tantrum throwing, running away or grabbing things of tables. I did however talk to her the whole time explaining everything and I swear she was taking notes lol. It’s good news since she is going to be going to a lot of craft shows in her life and helping me at them when she is older and I start being a seller.

On the way out I grabbed a huge bag of Kettle corn a couple of women were making at the entrance. That stuff is addicting and I want to learn how to make it make store-bought kettle corn taste like plain non flavored popcorn. I’m on strict rations for it or it will be gone in a day.

I’ll take picture of the socks and find a picture of the Machine and add them to the post later ^_^

Hugs and Kisses

I’ve been going swimming every Tuesday and it’s been so nice. It’s making me take care of a few things I’d otherwise put off and not do and it gives me a lot more energy the next day. So I think the way I’m going to exercise is to take up swimming going to look into the Brighton high school aquatic program and see it there is a way i can go swimming and work around brian’s working schedule.

I’m also going a craft show in Dexter tomorrow with mom so I’ll post what i get tomorrow.

We went and ate at Olga’s and I got a regular Olga and a bunch of snackers (which I LOVE) mom had the all you can eat snackers, salad, and soup.

I got home and what should I see a large bottle of Pinnacle Vodka sitting on my desk lol Brian had got it for me lol
