Vacation and Updates

Hi and Merry Meet,
I've been really bad about updating here!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Yule.

This week I have been in vacation so I have made an effort to get a few things done around here. In August I pulled the wallpaper out if my witchy room and I have been trying to decide what color to paint it. My good friend came over and helped me primed it a few weeks ago. Today, I finally picked and painted it!!! Yay! I went with a beige so it is relaxing and neutral. My witchy room is also our guest room so I thought this color would work for that purpose too!

Tomorrow my plan is to move my altar back into my room. I want to get new curtains and get my pictures back on the wall. It will be so nice to have my space back! I have some workings I want to do and not having my space is making it hard. My husband will be happy also so he can stop finding workings in our main bathroom. I leave ny candles in the tub to finish burning. Once I have ny space back I can leave all workings in my room unless it is candles and they can stay in the bathroom upstairs. Yay!!!

At Mabon I went to an open circle and met an awesome coven. I have been invited to their moon rituals and now their Sabbats as well. It has been really nice to meet people who are like minded in my community. I've enjoyed hanging out with them and learning from them. They asked if I would be intrested in being part of their general circle. In the future I might petition for my first degree with them. For now, I am happily in the general circle. Guess I'm not really a circle of one anymore!

I hope you have a very Happy New Years! May 2012 bring you joy and blessings!
Blessed be,
Autumn

NYC!

Hi  and Merry Meet,
Today my mom and I are venturing down to NYC. Now that my brother has moved to Colorado, this will be our first trip to navigate all by ourselves!

Mom really wants to see the big Christmas tree so that is our last stop since we want to see it all lit up! I don't have any agenda so whatever Mom wants to do I'm cool with. This will be our first mother/daughter trip ever were we don't meet family at the end.

I'm excited to get away and have a nice three day weekend! I took today off so we can drive down today. Seven hours of car bonding time! Lucky we love to chat so the time goes quick. We also might stop at an outlet mall on the way down to get a break.

The past few weeks have been overwhelmingly stressful for me. I get one task completed and three more crazy things pop up. One thing I've done to help get rid of stress is to start painting my witchy room. My good friend came over to help me with the primer since painting with me is dangerous. Paint and I don't get along really well. It is so attracted to me and then I smear it all over the house somehow. Lucky my friend is much better with paint and helped me get more paint on the walls than myself! Over winter break we are going to paint it for real so I can have my space back. My lack if clamming space is not helping my stress load.

This weekend with Mom is just what I needed to clear my head from work!
Have a great weekend!
Blessed be,
Autumn
