Well, I survived THAT weekend, thank goodness!  It was a bit of a rocky one and I'm glad it's over.  Eric and I were bickering a good bit and I couldn't figure out why he was being so argumentative and just plain bitchy.  Mostly, my part in the fracas was responding to his fussiness.  Turns out it's smoking issues , so I hope he's in better spir

I definitely feel better now than I did.  I started taking Estrovent on the suggestion of a friend and it really helps.  I'm also going to try to get to the co-op to get the Bladderwrack.  Now, I'm mostly just tired from having to be up late for the last few nights.

We've been gearing up for Beltane on Saturday when we have our big public event.  We have a 10 foot Maypole that goes up each year and we normally have about 20-30 people show up for the Maypole Dance, Balefire Jumping and picnic feasting.  We're all very excited for it.

I put together the Beltane altar by my door and was able to fulfill a dream I had for a little piggy candy dish my friend, Georgia, gave me a couple of months ago.  I love it and as soon as I saw it, I knew what it would be this spring:

Aren't they great??  There are 8 little piggies all strolling around in a circle.  :)

Here's the full altar:

Another new thing is that I took over a message board Sage wasn't using and though we could share ideas there.  I have met so many wonderful people through this journal that I thought it would be great if you could all meet each other!!  Here, we can talk about the soaps, about life, about whatever is going on that day.

I had to create a banner for the message board that sort of represented me, so I did this:

click!

Today's entry is short, just to tell you that I'm alive, I'm in much better spirits and things are great.  A little sleep and I'll be prime real estate.
