New look, new direction.

The reason why I wanted to do a major redo was because the blog was kind of stagnat. I realized I was using the blog as more of a journal. Some post were, in my opinion, good for others to read. (Like the one about trolls)  But mainly it was all about Whitney! haha
 
So the direction I want to take with this blog is kind of a mix. I realized that there are gaps in my knowledge of the Craft. So I made the decision to just start over. I hate trying to fill in the gaps. Then it just confuses me. So the blog will now be about beginner basics in the craft (and as I move on it will be higher),  sharing some awesome recipes, general life updates occasionally, any arts & crafts, etc. See? A mix. This blog will help me as it might help others.
 
At least two posts a month. One at the beginning and one at the end.  Its going to be random as so far as I can plan. I haven't sat down totally yet and planned an outline. I should though.
 
As for the decoration of this blog, it is still coming along. I'm working on, tweaking it here and there.


Stay tuned for new posts!

Major Redo!

This blog is a little out of date, and not really how I want it to be. So for the next two weeks I will be redoing the blog!


Check back for updates!

Coming out of the Dark Ages.

*blows breath out* Wow...I made one, ONE post since 2013. I really did forget about this blog for awhile.

I had to change my template to some generic one they have on Blogger.com. For some reason even with the generics, some backround photos were not showing up. Which bugged me. This one is nice though.

So I went through a dark period. Depression, hated my job, was busy with a Pagan group that I started. Which I apparently started at a bad time. Almost all of the original members have moved away. And then I made the worst move of my life! (In 2014) A couple, their daughter, Jake and I decided it would be a great idea to find a place together since we were both financially strapped. Yea good going me! I will admit I did have some misgivings. But as per usual I ignored it. Even if I went back, I would of had to go through with it. There was no way we could afford more than 350 for rent. The places that you can rent for that amount here by yourself, well its not pretty. Maybe it was just to make me appreciate having our own apartment.

So after 3 weeks it became apparent that these people were okay as friends, not roommates. There are just sooo many stories that I could share why they were not. But to make this a some what shorter story just trust me on it, kay? :) I can now tell you with confidence, I know what mold looks like after 2 months in a crockpot with food in it. Yea, they were disgusting pigs. I tried, trust me I tried to keep up. But when you work 40 hours, and then clean all day, it wears ya out. They were literal pigs too. It was great that they cooked at home alot but that really made it hard for them to keep up on their MOUND of dishes. I have a picture still. Anywho you get the general idea I think. Jake and I stayed in our room anytime we were home.

So everything (almost anyway, Pagan group was still going. Which I conveniently left out that this couple I met from the group) stopped. I didn't do my blog, my pagan FB page, any kind of hobbies. Because I felt like.....blah. I couldn't do it all in one room with all the clutter (because everything was shoved in one room.) Pure torture to live with them.

But now Jake and I have our own apartment! We now have another dog, named Zeus. He is a lab/White Siberian husky/mix. Cute little fucker, but desperately needs manners. Zeus is the grandchild of Jacob's childhood dog, Zeus! lol But seriously manners! He should be around 8 months now. We have had him for about 3 or 4 months. My training isnt working....probably because of that cuteness.

We both have better jobs. Which is great because now we can afford our own place, my new car (had to get it), four animals, AND some left over for fun! My job is better in pay and how I am treated at work. It will do for now.

Everything else that has happen is small, and not really worth detailing. Just the normal bumps on the road of living.
