October Parties

This will be cross posted here, my blog, my yahoo 360, and my lj... So that way everyone can be informed... and those I can't find here will be emailed. If you want to invite someone... invite someone...

All these parties are BYOB and CHILDREN FRIENDLY! If you have issues with these rules, please don't come.

Saturday, October 11th, Kait (Sarrin) turns 34. Party starts at 7PM as per usual... Bring snacks and your own drinks and if you can afford it, bring some soda to share.

Saturday, October 25th, Ian (Gwydion Hunter) has his birthday party, Starting around 7 PM. Food has not yet been decided. BYOB and some to share... and probably tablero supplies.

Friday October 31st, Halloween... The day before is my 15th wedding anniversary, so there will be a Costume party Friday night... Kid Friendly, (Yes Mekarius you can invite your friends) Horror movies playing in the house tablero and such on the back porch... Possibly some costume contests, if finances agree with me. Saturday there will be just a party... Cause I feel like celebrating my 15th wedding anniversary as well as Samhain... So, I am throwing a party... if you are interested in the extras that are happening Saturday afternoon email or message me and we'll talk.

An update, long over due.

This is my first project of the summer. It is my first Ghawazee coat... I saw it online, found a website that vaguely described how to put it together. Made a primliminary pattern, then put together the coat. I am very overly proud of it.

So, you will all have to tell me what you think of it. I like it a lot and I haven't added any of the trim or tassles to it yet. But it is done for now, time and funds say she will have to wear the prototype for now and then, later this summer I will make it spiffier.

Anyway, I am very jazzed about it and now I am off to make some tunics for the boy and a couple gypsy blouses for Faith. I found this great behemouth of a skirt, that when I took it apart was insanely big and light purple... Yes, it is pastel, but it is what purple I have to work with that isn't already claimed.

I will post more pictures later. As the projects get finished I will photograph them and post them.


Love, blessings and enough.


Sarrin

my poor puppy (cross posted)

So, once again... Ares has hurt himself. We are currently wavering between pulled muscle, dislocated hip or just a bad case of swelling and displasia...

He is refusing to put any weight on either of his back legs. We have done a range of motion, fully extended and contracted the legs, both of them, and he sometimes stands... It does not seem to be in pain. But they do seem to buckle under his weight. He has not whined or snapped at anyone while they were touching him. He lets me play with his legs like normal, all the normal excercises that I have started to do with him every night.

But he is just dragging the legs behind him, (rather underneath him) and just struggling along on his forelegs. It seems to be a problem. Basically it makes me sad and teary eyed.

But basically my issue is I have no money for a vet bill so I can't take him in. They will not see him unless I have the money upfront. So, I have to fix him here. Good luck with that, beings that I have no clue what he did and can only guess, and I have no idea what is actually wrong with him. We are icing the hips at night, stretching them lightly throughout the day and trying to keep him off them in general.

But the big deal is, what to do if none of that works... If I spend all night and day coddling him for two weeks and nothing is better, do I continue to watch him struggle through or do I do the unthinkable? There is a good chance that whatever it is will only require more and more vet bills and it could become a permanent issue.

So, that is how I am spending my night, that and watching Camelot.. cause musicals make everything better.

So if anyone has any ideas, I am all ears...

New websites and addictions.. hehehe

Ok, so, yesterday I made a website... it has all my writing on it... So I am sharing it with everybody...

Here is the link for my website. I will try to update it often so please give me some feedback. Thanks!

Halloween inites

Please forward to those you think would be interested! Thank you... The management!

'Twas Halloween Night...
'Twas Halloween night as I leaped from my bed,
With thoughts of amusement going through my head.
Turned off my computer and thought as I may
Of vampires of old and vampires of today.
Of spooky old movies and Halloween parties,
Of course trick or treating
(hope they don't hand out Smarties).
And witches and ghosts and gravediggers, I fear,
So that old haunted house, I will never go near.
When you see spooky places, just take my advice,
And don't go in rooms filled with ghosts, bats, and mice.

So don't risk your life going looking for spooks,
Just go to a party with some good friendly kooks.
Or gather your family, carve a pumpkin and think
What to have your kids do, and go pick up a drink.
Tell a joke to your friends, but be careful, you'll see
That a couple wrong moves might mean eternity.

Now put on that costume and dress yourself up.
You can be Ninja Nun or that RCA Pup.
But be very careful or else you might see
That ghosts and vampires aren't really PC.

So now you can think, as you turn out that light
That there's no such thing and that you are all right.
Look under your bed, though, and then you might see...

Nothing! We aren't afraid of ghosts now, are we?

Relaxing and waiting for stress...

Ok, So I am almost ready for the big party. except that I have no idea who is actually coming and how many people will be here, where they are all going to sleep, whether or not they are going to bring enough food, whether the house will be cleaned enough by then... Blah!

So, after a great weekend I am starting to feel the stress of a week till big party coming down on me... But, we got a lot of the prep done this weekend. We have almost all the stuff for our stew... We have nearly everything we need for the ceremony... except the stupid silver cording... damn that stuff anyway...

So, it is down to cleaning and cooking preps... the two things I hate the most... oh, and add to that, I got sick and brought everyone in the house down with me... so we are all dizzy and ill while trying to accomplish all this...

To say there is afair bit of stress is an understatement at this point. But, hey life goes on. The bright side is that everything is almost done and taken care of.. and I now have a dish washer so, everything else will be easier to accomplish.

We are almost ready... just that silver cord is bothering me now... Maybe mom... hmmm... I don't know... I will figure something out.. probably at the last minute...

Have a great week everybody...

Wow, it's been a while!

So, It has been a really wierd couple of weeks here. Roommates loosing jobs, finding jobs, getting new jobs... people moving in and out and such...

then, there was the Harvey's Comedy Club... Very cool. Lots of fun and laughter. Then there is the arguing amonst friends, household, and such... I really need a quiter life sometimes... not always just sometimes.

So, Why is it that people feel the need to purpetuate drama and crap? Why can't people just go... Look I do not like you, or want you around. You are not good for me... What the fuck ever.. Just say what they need to and let it the hell go... Why is that so hard?

If you re going to repeatedly say that you are through with someone, why continue to do and say crap that is going to keep them in your life. It is pointless... And do not involve peoples parents....

Oh and before I forget... One more thing... People's blogs are their personal outlet... Why does EVERYONE feel the need to try to tell people what can and cannot be posted on a blog set up in someone elses name? Then why are they so shocked when people respond to it...

That is like publically annoucing that you are a man hater then wondering why you can't date men. (Yeah, she confused me too... It fit the situation... I know it is an old reference that many wont get... But damn it you are not lesbian if you like the COCK!) If you post something on a public forum, logic dictates that people will respond... Unless those people are trying to cause Drama in which case they tell your parents about it instead.

Comments on 9-11

There has been a lot of activity here both on LJ and at my house over comments and opinoins expressed over 9-11-01 and the coverage of the fifth anniversary of the awful event that occurred on that day. Yes, let me make it perfectly clear... I voiced my opinion right along with everyone else.

I do not watch the news ... EVER... I do not listen to the radio ... EVER! I do not do these things becaue I do not want to hear the depressing crap that happens in the world day in and day out.

And today was no exception to that. I did not watch the replays of the coverage, I did not listen to the radio casts of the news reports. Because it causes me personal problems. I do not feel the need to expose myself to that.

However, a statement was made about not needing a yearly reminder about a plane crashing into a highrise, followed by the comment just let it go, angered me for a few reasons.

First, it was not a plane crashing into a highrise. It was a terrorist hi-jacking in an attempt to kill hundreds, and was focus on the trade Center because of the financial businesses it contained. It was an act of war. Anyone would have considered it one.

Second, If we all "just, let, it, go." What is to stop someone from trying it all again? Why would we not be prepared for such a thing to happen again. It is not like the entire world loves us and our politics.

Thirdly, the sacrifice of the heroes who were killed trying to pull survivors out of the rubble of that attack, the courage of the men who died stopping flight 93, the families of those who were lost and continue to be lost in the fight against terrorism DESERVE a yearly memorial and reminder of why their families are not here anymore.

Now, granted this is my opinion and I thank a veteran everyday for my freedoms. I know how good this country is. No, it is not perfect. But it could be a hell of a lot worse. I was raised with and around vets my entire life. I married one and I hope someday my children will serve their country in some way.

But I know they will grow up with a strong sense of patriotism and a love for their country. So, if my opinions hurt anyone, I apologize. I hope everyone understands what I am trying to say and why I have said it.

My love and blessings to everyone.

*Blows kisses, steps off her soapbox, picks it up and exits stage right*

I love my boys!

Devon got to go out and go camping with his uncle Mick and aunt Victoria. He will be gone all week... and Ethan is being great with William.

Vaughna is in Idaho and that leaves me and Wayne... wish that was going better... But I have sat at tthe computer and watched him watch TV for about an hour today before giving up and just going outside to hang out with the rest of the house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVON!

He really doesn't read these things but I am happy about his birthday. He turns 8 today. We are having a large party. We are having games in the front yard... Pool party in the back yard and movies in the living room.

We are also having a BBQ pot luck ish type thing for lunch and then birthday singing and then presents and then games and swimming and movies for all. So, I am trying to think of outdoor games for children and a list of child appropriate movies.

So, my sisters best friend Joshie... whom I have known for 22 years... decided that it was more important to go fishing on Devons birthday. I am very angry and trying very very hard to ignore it and make it all go away.

But, my adopted brother Andy came up from Salem last night for our party (My sister an brother in laws anniversary.) He told me that he would gladly take Joshies place in Devons life if Joshie didn't feel Devon was important enough.

Well, I guess that is my update for today. Talk to you guys after the party.

Love and blessings

Kait
