Blessed Samhain 2007-10-31 08:46:00 To most people, today is Halloween. However, today's holiday is steeped in history from many older religions. Some of these holidays occur at different times of the year. However, they all have similar themes. It is a time when they believe that the veil that separates this world and the spirit world is at its thinest.
In Mexico, they celebrate El Dia De Los Muertos on November 1st and 2nd. Read more:Blessed

Samhain Night 2007-10-30 23:07:00 Here is a poem that I wrote back in 2003 for Samhain
.
Samhain Night
October 25, 2003
Darkness creeps in the land quiets down anticipation of visits as the veil thins Relatives long gone Coming by for a chat Their spirits are here with us Closer then ever before Love ones we have missed Others we are glad are gone Those not known to us All here to visit once more Witches
Woohoo! 2007-10-30 08:01:00 I got me award for placing in the 2nd Annual Spicy Cauldron Awards. I had entered a Halloween writing contest. I have never won anything for my writing before. Yes, I only got 2nd place, and it is only a web competition, but still. I really does mean alot to me.
If you would like to see the entry go here. It was a short story that I wrote off the cuff.
The Spoon Theory 2007-10-29 09:23:00 I have many people in my life who do not understand how I feel or what I go through on a daily basis. I have finally found the perfect way to show them how I live.
I came across a great way of describing my life. Its called the spoon theory. I may not have lupus like the person who wrote it, but I have many other illnesses that debilitate me.
I challenge you to expand your vision and read Read more:Spoon

Next Iron Chef 2007-10-28 21:58:00 I was all psyched up and ready to watch The Next Iron Chef tonight. I really wanted Aaron Sanchez to win. He is a great cook and he is very good looking. Ok, so I have a thing for hispanic men! LOL!
Anyway, I was saddened to see him leave. Out of all the people, he should not have left. Heck, Chef Cosentino was annoying tonight. He was being nasty to the camera guys. I mean really,
Shocked and pleasantly surprised 2007-10-28 10:03:00 Well, Sunday's are my weigh in days. I was actually very shocked when I weighed in today. I really thought that I either gained or hadn't lost anything. This week at work was a bear and I know that I cheated a few times. Like when YL went to McDonald's the other day. Not only did I get a chicken caesar salad, but I also got an order of chicken fries. Let's also not forget that VB went to

Great contest 2007-10-25 22:29:00 I just found out about a great contest going on. I tend to have really dry skin due to my thyroid condition and some of the meds I am on. Sometimes, it gets to the point that I don't like the feel of my own skin.
There is a new lotion out called Skin MD that is supposed to help with dry skin.
Laura Williams currently has a give away going on over at her blog for a bottle of the lotion.

Diablo Denied 2007-10-23 21:14:00 Today was one of those days where you just want to crawl back into bed and hope for the day to end very soon.
It started when my head was about to implode and explode simultaneously. I am not sure how it was managing it, but it certainly felt like that was happening. I had a combination of a sinus headache with a migraine mixed in for added effect.
Once I got to work, the Bobbsey Twins were

Soulful Sunday 2007-10-14 11:52:00 Last night, I did a lot of soul searching. I had been in emotional pain for a very long time. I felt that I need to start really taking a look at what was causing some of this pain. So last night I sat down and wrote in my regular journal. By the time the entry was done, my hand was cramped around my pen (now I remember why I hate writing instead of typing!) and I was in tears. It was a very Read more:Soulful
