Ok so this is more of a remember post for me. I wanted to write what I did today because I wanted to remember what was said before it got too fuzzy. A couple weeks ago Mom called and suggested a psychic fair, I said yes because of my interest in the paranormal and what harm could it do? Mom wanted me to go because she knew about my paranormal thing and she thought maybe I could get some guidance since I'm in the world of "I don't know". So the fair was today.
When you go in you are supposed to see who jumps out at you then get a session with them because they may have something to tell you. If you can't figure it out, the schedulers can help you figure out who to go see. I had to have help because I just felt that I didn't know who to choose and I was nervous. So they choose a person for me and then I waited for my turn.
When it was my turn I went up to her and told her my name and she filled me in on a couple of things like what she did, how-ish it worked, and the cards she used (by the way she did tarot readings). I shuffled the cards, we said a prayer and I chose my cards. First off she said I have a happy marriage and that God was behind it, the card showed my cup running over in happiness. Then I had death, and if you did not know in tarot death is not a bad thing, it could mean someone who has passed or a change or other things, it all depends on where it is and what is going on in your life. I also had a card that represented the husband as a knight, and my mom who was the queen of swords who worries about me, and the sun which means it's my turn to shine. I don't remember the cards I got exactly the 2nd or the 3rd five but the gist was this: I'm going to be successful but no career path indicator was mentioned, that I'm a giving and thoughtful person but I also know when to say no, and that someone who is away from me will mean a lot to me in the coming months/years. I ended up getting another God has a plan for you and hes got your back kinda card. Another thing that came up was the happy family card, but since I have no siblings and no children it was confusing for the lady. She had me pull just one more card and I pulled up a heart with three swords in it. She told me that that card represented burdens on my heart or worries.
She then pulled out a deck that had animals on the cards. I again chose five cards and I got the turtle, the skunk, the snake, the antelope, and a white circle. The turtle meant slow and steady for success, the skunk meant that I needed to go get something for myself that makes me happy, the snake represents fertility meaning I should be very fertile, the antelope I was told not to procrastinate, and finally the white circle was again God. She thought that it may be my choice for children and I'm somehow choosing not to at this time, that I will be successful and it is my time to shine, and that God has a plan for me that I just don't know yet.
My mom also got a reading done and she said almost the whole thing was about me. I wished that it wasn't because I wanted her to get her own reading. Her lady said that my mom was a worrier (duh ha ha) and that she needs to learn to say no, which I fully agree with. She also said that my Dad works too much and he needs to relax. That my Mom would be changing her business soon and it would be very successful, and that my years 28-30 would be full of changes and uncertainty because of Saturn being in some kind of turn (sorry I don't remember the exact wording).
I know you may not believe in tarot or feel that it is evil but if you do some study into the topic you'll find that it really is based in Christianity. The cards also all have vague meanings so those same cards in the same spots could have a completely different meaning to someone else because they have a different life. That doesn't make the cards fake or wrong, it is how your interpret them. The meaning you give them and how you apply it to your life is probably what you were thinking anyways. Kinda like trying to make a decision between two things and as soon as you flip a coin or do eenie meenie, minie, moe you know exactly which one you want.
It's weird getting confermation or guidance like that, but I believe it. It's a faith thing and to me it's like getting a message from God. I mean he hears your prayers, and he responds but how often do you hear the response? The tarot reading just reminded me that he has my back and his plan is there.
In other news I'm making a 101 in 1001 list (101 goals to complete in 1001 days), I've been crazy bad at cleaning/organizing/crafting so I'm going to kick my own ass into getting it done again, and I'm improving my running. I should be posting again soon with updates and pictures (yes I know I keep saying that but I really am going to get on that soon). I'm also trying to add tabs to my blog, I just have to find a good tutorial on how to do it. If you happen across this blog and know how, please tell me! Thanks and cheers!

Shopping is great therapy!
Hello Blogging world! Tonight I'm doing fantastically. I'm watching Winnie the Pooh because this afternoon it was a blustery day, and it then turned into a blustery night. That sort of weather always puts me in the mood to watch Winnie the Pooh. I also got to go shopping today. Now, most of the shopping was for decorating, Christmas, and need to pick up items. I also did some price checking.
I'm very excited because for the second year I get to go to the food show. The food show is once a year at the IX center in Cleveland and is a couple weeks before Thanksgiving (perfect timing right?). A ton of local vendors have booths, they have shows of food creativeness like cake decorating, taste tests, and a beer and wine area. BUT the BEST part is that cooks from the food network come and do cooking shows and sign autographs!!!! I was price checking cookbooks so I can get them signed. Mom and I found out last year, it's better to buy the books beforehand. Now most of the time you spend there is in line for the show or the autograph but to me it's totally worth it. This year, my husband gets to join us, and it all goes according to plan we will then have 5 autographed cookbooks. Hence the price checking.
On my shopping trip I got decor supplies too. I have the supplies to make some yarn covered bottles, yarn wreaths, and reusable snack bags. I'm super psyched because I see all these things on Pintrest and get inspired but don't have the materials. So now I do and that makes me happy.
I did get something for me. I got the shoes I'm going to wear in one of my best friend's weddings this November. They are BCBG nude platform peep toe pumps with a strap. They are the perfect mix of glam and classic! They are also the perfect shoes for a not wedding outfit, which makes them even more desirable. Best of all was the price 30% off a department store!
I then met my mom at a place called Wasabi. It's a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. Mom and I had a good time, we were the only of age people at the table (high school homecoming dance night), so we each ordered a drink. So the chef comes out and he does shots of sake squirted right into your mouth. The first shot I got was pretty large, and the drink was pretty strong, and I also have pretty much stopped drinking because of the not good for making baby thing. Anyways, the chef was almost done and wanted to give another sake shot, so I told him I had to drive home to which he replied "I drive you home!" For the fun of it I said "Take me home!" and got the second sake shot. I got extra food on my plate the rest of the time he cooked because he was going to take me home. My husband thought this was hilarious when I told him all about it hahaha.
My last stop of the night was to Pet Co. Poor puppy dog has been getting fleas. He takes a medication that is a combo of heartworm and flea medication once a month as a pill. Now this medication doesn't keep adult fleas off, but it disrupts their life cycle and doesn't let them reproduce. He was still super itchy and I kept finding adult fleas on him every time we came in from outside (the fleas are crazy bad in our area this year). So I got the topical medication to keep the adult fleas off, and flea shampoo to kill any that were on him now. When I got home I found another on him, so into the bath he went. Now Teddy LOVES baths. He drinks so much water that he looks about 15 lbs overweight after a bath. The shampoo is natural so it smells like spices and it killed the fleas that were on him instantly. So after Teddy peed out and regurgitated his extra water weight out of him, I started taking care of the house. Unfortunately I'm going to have to vacuum everyday for 3 weeks and I'm in the process of washing the rugs, blankets, and bedding using a little of the flea shampoo in the wash. I'm also going back to the store tomorrow to get a spray for the carpet, couch, and Teddy chair. I'm also going to call the vet on Monday and see what they say about the whole situation. Now I've only found a total of 6 fleas, including the dead ones from the bath, but I HATE bugs!! I mean I really hate bugs! I don't want those things inside my house at all and I feel all itchy just thinking about them being on Teddy. I will feel a lot better when everything is washed, sprayed, or vacuumed. I will also feel better when it's cold enough outside that the fleas won't be around.
It's just one more thing to look forward to, living in suburbia there will be less bugs since it will be more inhabited and more people will spray to kill those suckers.
Alright blogging world I'm going to take the pup again...he needs to release more water. Have a great night and I hope your day was as good as mine. Cheers!

Give me a reason
Hey everyone! I started a new routine and so far so good. I made the routine because I'm a person who needs a purpose and I like routines. I don't mind varying my routine, I'm not that guy. Each day I have some daily things, and then a point to the rest of the day. So far I'm 3 for 3 on getting to the gym, and 2 for 3 on getting the point of the day. The part I missed I spent doing other things that did need to be done. Anyways, I wake up and go to the gym, then do some bible study (but I think when that book is done, other self-help-like books could be in order...any suggestions?), and get ready for the day. When I don't have a point to my day, getting dressed and ready is not something that happens every day. I didn't like that some days I did nothing. Well after that I eat lunch and then the reason for my day. I actually do things that need to get done, I don't spend all my time watching TV, and my house is clean!
So, as you can see, this routine I'm doing hits several of my goals. I'm also finding that I like not working, but not the lack of money. Low and behold, tomorrow is my really focus on job hunting day! Parts of me wonder if I would do better working for myself at home, but I don't know how to do that. I have a couple ideas but it seems that if I talk about an idea, it doesn't happen. So I will be very vague until it is in full swing.
This post was actually supposed to be about whatever crafty thing I did on my crafting day, but I got a little tied up getting the house ready for fall and winter. I want to start craft blogging, so some posts are going to be about crafts I have done. The one I'm working on now isn't just a craft, it's my craft area. Right now it is just a part of the basement with crafty type material stuff, but as I work on it, it will become storage and an area that crafts can be done. I'm repurposing an old hanging shoe rack with cans and cardboard boxes to make a hanging desk storage unit. I have plastic drawers that will hold other materials. I have a broken desk that will hold lighter projects and be a drying and holding area. I also have wall space that I can hang the girly pictures that I can't hang anywhere else in the house, and my project list, AND my memo boards. It is all very exciting...plus it's getting organized which is such a great feeling. I will post before and after pictures once it is done. Those pictures will also contain the before and after pictures of the whole basement since the craft area is part of the basement area. Oh and since most of my projects right now are Christmas presents, those craft posts have to wait until after Christmas.
Alright kids, I'm exhausted 3 for 3 days at the gym tend to wear a girl out. I'm going to do a little reading and go to bed. I'm glad I had good news to report, and I hope you enjoyed. Cheers!
