Quick Post - I'm Here!
Well, drive was good, hardly any traffic, and stopped at Harvey's and finally tried one of their veg burgers lol Chilled last night other than grabbing a tooonnnn of groceries. Karoline and Joe are attempting to cut down on eating meat. They've talked about going veg, and with me here it's easier for them since veggies and veg stuff needs to be in the house anyway. Other than that I chatted with the hubby on the phone for a bit, he got his return and is getting $1000 so will be able to come up for a visit in a couple weeks - thank Goddess! I miss him already, had to stick a DVD on low volume to sleep last night...lol
Today we're going to my parents for a bit and then possibly Karoline's mom's and then I think her dad's for dinner. Hoping we're back in time for the online Full Moon ritual on Stone Circle. Oh, speaking of witchy stuffs though, there is an awesome occult/smoke shop on the reserve not far from here. They have these amazing handmade journals (leather bound, handmade paper), gem stones, different types of incense, wands, pendulums, tons of Faerie figurines, and some beautiful Green Man figurines and things, and tons of other stuff for such a small store. I cannot wait to have the money to buy a few things.
Will take some pics and fun stuff when I get the room I'm in rearranged some.

Proper Moving Update While Packing
Okay, so to go into details...
A couple months ago the hubby and I had huge - sometimes drunken - talks about me moving in with one of my best friends closer to my parent's and getting a job while down there and stuff for a couple months. Originally it was going to have to be me taking a train or bus to get there though and we couldn't get the money together that we needed at the time for it, so it got pushed aside.
Anywho, last night my friend was telling me about her and her hubby going to come up to the Toronto Zoo this weekend and said I should try and meet them there and shit (it's just a little over 3hrs from us), but as usual we don't have the money for it - especially now that we drive a gas eater of a car. Well, she talked to her hubby and asked me if they could make it up here to get me, would I still be up for the moving in for a couple months, etc. Well, of course! Talked to the hubby and while we're gunna miss each other like crazy and it'll be weird sleeping alone for a while we will try and figure out visits and we can save a butt load of money, hopefully, as long as I can get a decent job down there, etc. I put out a couple of resumes through kijiji ads for some cleaning and dishwashing stuff and my friend is gunna talk to the owner of this bar she goes to a lot and has become friends with her, etc. Will need my smart serve, but we're gunna look into a "start up" check from welfare or something as soon as I'm down and such. either way, jobs are easier to come by down there than up here right now and anything retail will add to my resume for experience and help me in getting a job when I move back, etc.
I hate I won't be able to finish the garden before going though...but will have to put my germinating seeds out and hope for the best and do a little clean up at least and see if the hubby will put in the stone fencing while I'm gone for me, etc. gunna keep my other seed packets just in case (when I get back, next year, our place, etc.). I'm gunna miss my kitties like crazy too and it sucks that the hubby doesn't have a digital cam to take pics for me while I'm gone, but maybe he can grab a cheap one if this jobs lasts a couple more weeks for him. Will need to hope my friends have the right battery charger or I can buy one soon since I have to leave our charger here cuz of his wireless mouse and keyboard LOL
Good notes, other than seeing friends/family and hopefully making money, my friend is Wiccan so we will be doing lots of rituals and fun stuff together, she's also tired of being overweight so wants me to help her with dieting and working out, etc. and of course we've been friends for like just over 20yrs now so it'll be sweet nonetheless! I'm excited and a little nervous...mostly nervous for wanting this to work so much...I'll be bringing all my art supplies (paints and stuff too) so will continue trying to sell art (they have a scanner so I can do prints too!) and keep up with the 52 Weeks of Pagan Art Journaling, etc. and hopefully this will all work out for us.

So, I'm Moving...
Just a quickie, will explain later, but I'm going to be moving in with a couple friends (nothing wrong with hubby, just plans) for a couple months. I'll have internet and stuffs, just going to be a busy few days here so might not be on.
Witchy Fiction Fun Day One!
Wow, so many things on the go lately I totally forgot to whip up some stuff for this partay!! Guess it'll be on the fly, although that's not always a bad thing!! for anyone not in the loop, head on over to Pagan Culture for all the details and for some awesome giveaways!
"You don't understand..." Lily moaned and turned from the Fae woman. She slumped against a large tree trunk and curled her knees into her chest.
"Don't I?" Armadelle smiled as she fluttered to perch on Lily's knee. "You're young, but you're smart. You can figure it out." Lily stared at the four inch tall Faerie and scrunched up her brow. Her sister was lost somewhere within Allumineria, she knew this; however, she knew nothing of this magickal place. Hell, twenty minutes ago she would have never believed such a place existed!
"How am I ever going to find her? I don't even know where to begin to look?" Armadelle took flight, hovering at eye level for Lily. She lowered her sparkling green hood and placed her hands on her hips.
"You don't know, do you?" Lily pulled her head back, trying to keep the tiny woman in focus.
"Know what?" Armadelle's eyes bulged out in shock, almost causing Lily to laugh as the site reminded her of a bug. She flitted up and down, and in circles of excitement, making Lily dizzy. "Know what?" She repeated, causing the Faerie to halt in mid air.
"You're a witch, Lily! You can do anything!" Armadelle giggled at the confusion on Lily's face.
"A witch? What are you talking about?" Lily stood as Armadelle flew in excited circles around the surrounding trees. Several other Faeries came zooming about to join in her glee.
"You were born a witch and will always be a witch. Hasn't your grandmother told you?"
"My grandmother?" Lily looked around, almost beginning to wonder if she were in a dream of some sort.
Okay, short but I'm working on this novel right now...Sort of a spoiler for any who might read it through my Fiction Writing blog With Pen and Paper.
