Hurricanes and Crafting

There's something so exciting about shacking up, lighting candles and bracing yourself for the long day of rain and wind from a hurricane. Having candles on hand and figuring out ways to entertain yourself within the four walls of your home. I spent yesterday in Burgaw with Dylan's family and we played music, made yummy food, crafted, and got into the spirit of fall; it was so fun! You couldn't even see the kitchen table because it was covered with layers of fabrics, buttons, studs, beads, and more. Dylan's mom, Juliet, his sister, Maddie, and I made reusable coffee koozies while Dylan made us and his little brother, Ramone, and baby Penny a yummy cake. We made magical pumpkins and and Juliet made a cat tail for Maddie's Cat Woman costume. It was such a good day. Hurricane Sandy has been a success.

Juliet made me a cup of Yogi Chilli Tea and toasted pumpkin seeds for
everyone to snack on.

Weekend Recap

Oh boy, this weekend was so great. If I had all day, I'd share all of the great things I got to do and experience. In short, it was one of those weekends where you really feel alive and able to do anything. You realize that time is of the essence and the little things are what makes up a big adventure. Yeah, I haven't slept in my bed in three days, but who's really counting? Sure, my gas tank is empty, but what's it really matter? My heart is beating, my legs are working, and my world is defined only by spirit.
