Life! Hello!

Just a brief Holy-Crap-I'm-Busy List:

-Writing from 8-9am
-Working from 9-7 (on average)
-Packing to move
-Moving, and all that lovely stuff that goes with it
-including painting, which means picking out paint O.o
-The Green Expo on saturday (no, i'm not attending, we have a table)
-Birthdays, parties, etc.
-We need a DJ and a wedding cake, like, yesterday
-Meet with reception folks and finalize junk

...and that's all this week.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying myself! I'd also just like to sit around and do nothing for a minute or two, though. XD

As far as paint colors go? The living room and dining room are kind of connected (share a wall), and we're looking at some really light, buttery yellows for those rooms; the bedroom is going to be blue, either a vibrant lighter blue or a rich dark one. We're not going to bother to paint the office- i don't think- because we're going to have bookshelves and lots of wall hangings in there. Although. I dunno. Let's see how much paint costs. ;D

On a pagan note, I think I'm going to do some spellwork tomorrow night to cleanse and protect the new apartment. I'm not really worried about anything, but I know Jared has a tendency to attract ghosties, et al, and from my experiences with spending the weekend at his place I don't really want to make their presence a regular thing in the home, lol.

Btw, if you want to help me move or paint, I have a mini-keg of Spaten beer (oh how i wish they'd had the Spaten Dunkel... *sigh*) and I will be buying everyone pizza :D Friday evening and Sunday afternoon, let me know!

:)

Do you use sage to cleanse out the bad energy? My best friend is always using sage but I don't. I can't stand the smell and it makes me sick.

I attract ghosts... I have since I was a kid. Haven't figured out how to ditch em though.

Good luck on the move and I wish I could go and help... I would make the seven hour drive but I work Friday and Saturday.

I do use sage as a cleansing herb sometimes, but if you don't like the smell I personally recommend other mint-family herbs (don't they just make you think "fresh"?) or lavender. I'm not basing this on any facts, I kind of go with what feels right. Also, simply salt water is an excellent cleanser and protective treatment- it's practically a universal belief that salt helps with those things.

My mom's friend is a medium, she always says the key is to sincerely request, verbally, that the ghosts leave you alone. But Jared is the one who senses them most, and he claims that has only kind of worked...

Haha, thanks for the thought though!
