I love halloween. I always have and I think part of the reason is the cool crisp air with the scent of burning wood and whispering dry leaves scuttling along the ground joining you in the merriment of the day.
The other part is the candy. Let's not lie to ourselves.
We are fortunate to be able to dress up for halloween at work in actual costumes. I love it! This year I'm going as a zombie slumber party girl. I know weird, but my theme every year is someone who's dead or about as close to dead as you can get. I think it sets the mood and makes everything more fun. Work can be really mundane and why not take a day to just dress up crazy and ENJOY the holiday. Don't overthink the occassion and make it something very simple yet fun. I'm going to wear pajamas to work, whiten my face and put my hair in pigtails. I guess I'll add some leaves to the hair and call it good. Simple, yet fun. :)

new career path
This weekend I signed up to start selling Avon. I'm one of those people where as I am getting older, I'm trying to figure out different ways to make side income and as much as I would like to get a regular 2nd job, I know I will not have the time to do such.
So, I figured with going back to school in the fall, restarting my Etsy, and my regular full time job, this would be a good side project. Not too much stress with only the amount of hours I want to put into it.
I'm a little nervous but I think that's normal for any type of new path and this is definitely a new path.

Goal!!
I know, I haven't updated in 2 weeks. Honestly, there isn't much to report going on or I just haven't felt like typing it out. I'm not really sure which point I am at, but life is starting to look up.
I have been knitting like crazy and since it's one of my favorite activities then I am so glad to be able to do it! I've worked on baby items and I will be starting Xmas items next week. Going to the yarn still will be high on the priority list for next Friday as I will need to pick up a couple of bundles for happiness. :)
I'll be starting a new blog that I'm really excited about! I've decided to start a blog about my dog Sadie. She's quite comical and has a very interesting outlook on life. I know I'll enjoy writing that blog as much as I enjoy writing in my own, but this will give me a chance to use my imagination a bit more. I love it!
I can say that I am well on my way to my new list, new life, idea. I am starting to become more honed in on what I would like to focus on and picking up dates to start these ideas. I'm really thrilled to be able to work these ideas out and make them happen. There is something really gratifying about completing a goal.
My first goal to complete is to finish signing up for school. I have to go up to the counselors office (blah) to figure out what I have left so I can enroll for the next semester. I'm planning on taking 2 classes because I've found that if I take 1 class then I tend to blow it off, but if I take 2 or more, then I work harder. Weird how that happens huh? Must be something about making sure my brain will explode to encourage studying.
My other goal is to start my Etsy shop back up, which I have set to launch again on January 1, 2011. I feel this truly gives me an outlet for one of my passions and I need passion in my life...not just the bedroom kind, but passion within myself to inspire others or to give part of me for their life to be more beautiful. Even something as simple as a handmade gift will make someone's life special because they will have picked out a beautiful item to bless that other person.
Eventually, I would love to launch my own website, but I really feel that could be something to come around once I get this owning my own store under my belt. Plus, I am planning on doing some travelling next year to promote this little venture so it should be a REALLY good time. :)
I think that about updates everything over the last two weeks. I hope everyone's month is going swimmingly and I will be updating my knitting blog http://starseedstitches.blogspot.com/ with my new gifts!

Bummer
Bummer news today. The job I applied for is no longer vacant so now I'm off to look for another position. I am upset as I really am looking forward to moving into a new path in life, but everything happens for a reason. I have always been a very firm believer in this theory and honestly, am rarely proved wrong.
I am also going to use this to my advantage and get back to school asap, possibly move into a smaller apt, and work on my relationships here to make them fulfilling. While this is a small setback, this is not a point where I will give up...at least, that's what I know I will feel tomorrow, but today I'm sticking with the bummed.
