Interviewing and Haircut

Hi and Merry Meet,

I made it though my interview this morning. It was a large group to interview with (23 people!!!!), but I did the best that I could. I was surprisingly relaxed even though I was in the hot seat. I'm please and feel relieved. I even said a little charm that I found in book to relax before an interview.

I also got my hair cut and dyed today after my interview... so nice to get pampered after being stressed out! Here's my new look... a bit emo, but I'm happy with it:I also got a scrying bowl that I have yet to take a pict of! I saw it months ago... it has the three different faces of the goddess on it. I fell in love with it, but wanted to wait until there was a special reason to get it. As luck would have it, it was still there. I think it was meant for me! I can't wait to clean and consecrate it!!!

Tonight, I'm sitting back and relaxing! I think I earned it after interview this morning!

Blessed be,

Autumn

Too Much To Do!!!!

Hi and Merry Meet,
It seems like everything that can happen today has! I've laughed, cried, and almost pulled my hair out. I'm in a calm spot right now... Overall, it has been a good day despite all the craziness!

Turns out I missed an appointment that I planned a few weeks ago... they called me to ask where I was this morning. Oops. I forgot to write it in my planner, so without it being written down I had no idea what they were even talking about! I was so embarrassed. I am very anal about time and being on time. I would rather be an hour early to something than be two minutes late. Drives my husband crazy!

After that hoopla, I got called for the second round of interviews with a job that I really want. The interview is tomorrow and I have to do a demo for them. Oh panic! I have a lot of work to do today! At this point in time I am almost set. I have a plan and some of it put together. I have a few more things to do, but by tomorrow morning, I WILL be ready! :)

I also got a call from my brother who has successfully move to New York City. He is so far away now, but he sounds so happy. I'm really glad from him and my future sister-in-law! My brother is not a big talker on the phone, but today he had lots to say about their move and their place. They were able to get all their stuff in one u-hal, even the dog fit in the cab with them! I can't stay with them because I have allergies to her, but my mom and I are planning a trip to see them and the holiday lights in the big city!! I'm really excited about that trip!

I did take a walk outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The leaves are just amazing! The weather was warm with a light warm breeze. I needed that time to just enjoy nature and get my thoughts together. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me with this interview, but after I plan on getting my hair cut and colored. I need a change!

Tonight I plan to finish getting all my stuff together for the interview, meditate, and go to bed early!
Blessed be,
Autumn

Welcome October and Dreams!!!

Hi and Merry Meet,
It is official October now! I can start to get my house decorated for Halloween! Yeah!!! I love to decorate, but I'm a bit lazy when it comes to taking it down... my nutcrackers from last winter were up until July. I'm just not that concerned with taking stuff down. Well, then again, I do have to get a ladder out to get the stuff put up and down. I'm lazy about hauling that ladder in here from the garage.

The month has started off a bit chilly! I love chilly days! It was also a bit rainy this a.m. but that's ok by me. My favorite weather is the chilly weather because it's perfect for running!!! After a month off, I am back to it. I was very disappointed to not run the half, but shin splints forced me to stop. I'm not about to hurt myself for a run healthy hobby.

Yesterday I started a dream journal. I've always had very vivid dreams. When I was a kid I just to have dreams that where so vivid I thought they were real. Turns out they were. I was dreaming about world events that hadn't happened yet. I dreamed about earthquakes in India, a tsunami in Asia, and hurricanes in the States. I never shared them because I thought that they were just dreams. The events from the dreams came to pass years later. I don't have those dreams anymore. I do still have very intense colors, sounds, and feels in my dreams. I've also always remembered my dreams for days, weeks, months after dreaming them. I think that my dreams are what pulled me to the goddess Epona. Yes, nightmares are associated with her, but I feel that dreams are the other side of them. I feel very strongly about her energy and that is part of why I chose her as my patron goddess.

So my journal is a place that I wanted to start recording all my dreams. I've gone back a few weeks and wrote down the dreams that I had and drew pictures to help bring them into focus better. I'm not a great artist, but just the act of sketching them out is very relaxing to me. Though this process I'm starting to look closer at the things that I'm seeing and the messages that are being sent in them. Looking back on the dreams has also helped me to see patterns in them. I'm very excited about the start of this new journal. I think it is good for me to keep track of all the dreaming and the images that I'm seeing while I'm a sleep.

Do you keep dream journals or just journals of any kind?
Blessed be,

Mad Rabbit!

Hi and Merry Meet,
I know I just posted the Window Wednesday. I had to do that first before I forgot. I just got home from the vet with Chanel who somehow cut herself, so she is now on antibiotics. Oh, my crazy rabbits. If it's not one thing with them, it's another! Here she is in all her glory shooting daggers at me for dragging her to the vet:Gotta love her!
Blessed be,
Autumn

Out My Window Wednesday

Hi and Merry Meet,

I wanted to start a new weekly posting. I tried to think of something that I do that would be cool to post every week. I look out my kitchen window.... and I take picts of the weather! So, from that was born the idea for Out My Window Wednesday! Here is today's shot:

A little dark and cool this morning... the sun wasn't totally up yet.

Blessed be,

Autumn

Back To It!

Hi and Merry Meet,
My Japanese guest left very early yesterday morning. I was so sad to see her go, but I have a sneaking suspicion that she will come back to visit us someday! She wanted to find a guide book on our area, but there isn't one in Japanese because we are too small for it. One NYC and LA get a guide book. I told her that she should write one and that would mean coming back to finish her book! :) I know we will go to visit her again in the future.

The week was packed with fun and adventures. Even my husband took off so we could all enjoy the days together. Even the two nights that he had to work, he stayed awake in the daytime so we could go out as a group. He came home from work yesterday morning and he is still in bed now... I think he was more than bushed!!

Anyway, it's now back to real life. I spent the morning putting my dried rosemary into a container so that it is ready to use. My hands smell like it and it smells so good!!! I love it! I need to harvest my Thyme yet too. It is on my list of things to do today. Tonight Husband and I are off to a party with some former coworkers. I'm thinking that tomorrow I might start to haul all my Halloween stuff out of the basement and start setting it up... I have big plans for decorating this year, so I think I want to start early!

Hope everyone is having a relaxing and restful weekend!
Blessed be,
Autumn
