    Generally Speaking.....

    Saturday, September 6, 2008, 11:41 AM EST [General]

    Everyone's responses to my last post were priceless, thank you for that!  I didn't feel so bad for being a pack rat after those comments!  I got busy, so I didn't get to go and get some of those boxes out of the storage unit to sell...I am going this afternoon to put a  lot of those books in my Half Price Books green bag, and I will take them over this weekend or this week.

    I am working in my mind again with the book I'd love to write....I have added a writer's forum to my list, which means I will be bumping the one where I am global mod down in priority...I love to read, but I must start writing instead of dreaming about it, eh?  I am going to go over and get my books on the subject of writing today, so that they are in my face and I can start to work on the different aspects of writing.

    It's still hard for me to work on this novel at home because I have my computer in the room my brother is in, and I can't work in peace and quiet when he is around...not to mention, I don't want to invade his privacy all of the time, and I don't want to have to stop writing a scene because it's time for him to take a nap or wants his own privacy.  I am thinking of saving some money and going to the site he did to get a laptop computer, at least I can write anywhere, and without interuptions or having to stop.

    I cannot wait for this week to start...one week closer to Mabon and to Fall!!  I am looking forward to this!  I love this time of year, and the cooler weather!  It's been so hot around here over the last few weeks, and no rain until yesterday that the leaves are already starting to fall because they are already dying...so sad!!

    I am also looking forward to Samhain!!  I love that time so much!  So many magickal things in the air, and a chance to change and start anew!  I am preparing for both Mabon and Samhain...I want them both to be soo special for me!  I am searching inside of myself to see what I need for both.

    I am glad that work is finally back to normal, that way I don't feel like such a pain in the backside everytime a break comes around-they take a cigarette break every forty-five minutes...I keep wanting to scream:  "Hello, we have to work, and you know that I quit!!  Why are you trying to infuence me back??"  I have backslide a bit over the last two weeks, I am soooo sorry!  I am trying, and these people have made it hard.  However, when I am back on my normal routine, it'll be easier because I can take my breaks when I am supposed to, and not be around them when I break...it'll definately be easier, and less stressful!

    Everyone have a blessed day!!

    I haven't made it up to the attic either! Boxes are still lurking there....waiting. I'm so glad you're going to begin writing! I can barely put together a blog post, let alone a novel! Witch-hats off to you. Don't be so hard on yourself for "backsliding". Niccotine is an addiction. Cut yourself some slack, it sounds like you've got a handle on it and I'm sure you'll succeed. I'm feeling twitchy for Autumn too. I've been wanting to work with the dark side of self and I think this is the right time to do it. I've been avoiding it because of fear but since I'm always squaking about "balance", it's time I learned to embrace that part of myself. 30 years of Christianity has tainted the concept of "dark" and I need to overcome it. Have a wonderful weekend.
    Bright Blessings,

    I understand where you are coming from. We have been living in our house for 6 years and there are still boxed that I haven't unpacked because simply we don't have any place for the stuff. I have a hard time getting rid of things too. As for the cigarettes, don't feel bad, my husband quit. He had been off them for six months and the very first day he started the job he has now, he started smoking again. It just takes time. Hopefully, he will try to quit again, the prices are killing us. Good Luck!
