So Matthew (my husband) and I have finally found a home. No, not one we purchased, we're not to that point yet, but we have found a nice home to rent for a year, than I think we shall start looking to buy. Anyway I love this house. And we found it in the nick of time. Our lease with our apt. ends on Oct. 31st. And We weren't sure if we were going to find anything, but than yesterday the owners wanted to meet us, and obviously liked us enough (they had turned down 25 other applicants) and now we are moving this Sat! So for the next few days I will be without internet. Those of you who really need to contact me, Note me and I'll send you my cell number. Then at least you can Text me (except because she already has my number lol).
Here is the front and kitchen of the house:


Anyway I am really excited about moving in. The house is over 2,000 sq ft! And it has an incredible back yard and bonus room. It even has a 4th bedroom converted to an office (can anyone say PERFECT! lol) And Aleetha will love being able to run around in a backyard of her own. Going from 960 sqft to 2,000+ is insane and we will have to buy furniture just to make it not look so empty lol. Thank you everyone for being so understanding and all the hopes and prayers you gave us during this search. I really appreciate it. Hopefully after the move, a Halloween Party, then a wedding, things will slow down for a bit. But then it's Thanksgiving, and a trip to Vegas in Dec. (which I'm really looking forward to). Believe me when I say I haven't been this busy in AGES, So it's kind of fun! And btw yes I will be going to see New Moon-no not on its opening night or midnight showing (what do I look to you, suicidal?)

Anyway art updates will be slow and almost at a standstill until I get things in order. Hope all is well with everyone, and if I don't get a chance later. Happy Halloween and Happy New Year's to some!!!

So I am starting to seriously pack up our apartment to move into the home that we haven't found yet lol. But the hunting has been fun. My husband and I will be looking at several this weekend (let's hope for a winner). I decided that packing-moving-helping plan a huge Halloween party-and Bridal Shower than Wedding to go to is just to much going on in one month for me to really be able to create a rather difficult and time-consuming project such as making my costume. I already bought the pattern for the dress, but instead I will most likely be using it for next year's Labyrinth Masquerade. I did, although-buy a beautiful parisian floor length skirt, it's gorgeous it has satin and organza trim, lots of pulls and ruffles-all black. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I will post pictures as soon as it comes!
UPDATE: My Bustle Skirt came and I LOVE IT!!
It fits perfectly and it's a light satin-no lining which is perfect so it can breathe. I just love it. Now all I have to do is find a light-boned corset to go with it lol!

I also finally finished the fliers for the big Halloween Party, all my friend has to do is okay the final pieces and we can start printing and send them out. I will post them AFTER the party, as these fliers will also be the tickets into the party. I am very excited about this party it should be fun. I think my friend is going to come and we're going to set up a booth in the back for her to do Tarot Readings, and I am going to be bar-tending the entire night, too fun!!
I am going to my best friend's Aunt's Bridal shower this weekend, and then the first weekend of November is her Wedding. I guess I will have to go buy a nice dress since I know I don't have anything to wear. After THAT weekend I'm going to Vegas with said Best friend for a little R&R. We decided on these beautiful hotel suites with amazing views and a Spa-definitely getting the Spa treatment!!
I think after this month is over I will have a little time to relax before Thanksgiving-ugh...I'm cooking my first Thanksgiving at my house with my family, should be fun. lol
Anyway-that's the gist of my plans and what I have been doing. How is everyone else doing?

P.S. If you have noticed I got rid of many of the clubs I was a member of because I never contribute to them and I never visit them, so I figured perhaps they just aren't for me anymore. So my only club as of now is (of course) The Labyrinth Club. I'm happy with that.

Monday-Mid morning, closer to afternoon actually. Aleetha is in the living room watching Sesame Street and I am currently looking up Victorian Patterns and corsets. Thisa (my best friend) is officially on board for The Labyrinth of Jareth's 13th Annual Masquerade!!! Heather -we'll see, she will be having a baby next year and I totally understand how that can be. We can always go the year after that!
I have been super busy lately. I'm currently making fliers and ad's for Jose's Party that I will be bar-tending at on Halloween. I am also doing a couple pictures. I think I will be also creating an image for and I am also working on my Halloween image-it's Japanese in style, but solemn and dark.
Aleetha and I are getting along better, I am being more patient, she is bending-lol which is wonderful. I love being with her everyday, we have so much fun!
I am also getting ready to move. Where you say? Not sure yet lol, we're still looking, there are many homes we like, but can only choose one, so still looking, but we have to be out by Oct. 31st. Matthew and I have decided it will be a couple weeks sooner than that. That way we have plenty of time to move in, clean the apartment, and be comfortably settled in time for Halloween. We have a lot going on at the end of October-moving out/Halloween Party-and the very next weekend we are going to Las Vegas for Thisa's birthday! Crazyness! So as for now I am boxing things up, throwing out old things we don't want. I mean we're no Hoarders lol-but we do have a lot of stuff accumulated over 6 years of living in this apartment. 6 years wow! I am a Leo-always ready for change, I love it, and I am beyond excited to get out of this apartment and into a nice big house. Aleetha can have the back yard she always wants to run around in, I can have a nice big kitchen and 3+ bedrooms yay! It's really exciting for us!

So all in all, life is looking up, considering just 4 months ago, Matthew and I both lost our jobs, no hope, no money, it was looking rather dire. But now things are looking up and I couldn't be happier! I do hope everyone is having some type of Joy in their life.

Is anyone else watching Vampire Diaries? I know- I shouldn't even be admitting I am, but I can't help it, it's my guilty pleasure. And since True Blood is over what the hell am I to do with myself?! I don't watch many television shows, the only one I find interesting is Hoarders on A&E. And now the CW just had to go and give me a hotty vampire like Stefan. I read the books-years ago, before Twilight, so if I keep hearing people call it a bite of Twilight I have to disagree. Vampire Diaries was written back in 1991! Twilight was over 10 years later, so....yeah. Yes I think it's sad they brought it out AFTER Twilight, but look what its done, it's caused an epidemic of Vampy wannabe shows! I've seen many people and writers say that the Vampires are back in style and haven't been since the 70's, but whoa, wait a minute, what about back in the 90's? They were around than, I think Vampires-every 10 years have a big show then they climb back into their coffins to wait another 10 years-and every hiatus causes people to create a new and more sophisticated vampire. I do find that part interesting and original. I mean who wants the same boring Victorian vampire every 10 years-they have to re-invent themselves too lol! So yes my guilty pleasure is a beautiful-teen-angst ridden-vampire love story. What can I say...nothing.

I can actually write this because my daughter is in the other room sulking. We haven't been getting along very well recently. I'm a new Mom, I mean I've never done this before. And I'm a new housewife too. I've never stayed at home and taken care of my child. Normally I work 40hours a week, drive about 2 1/2 hours back and forth to home and work, and we spend time until she went to bed. But now that we're both home, she has gotten quite unruly. She doesn't listen to me anymore, it's a lot of "I don't want to, NO, I can't." It's becoming really frustrating and really exhausting. I just want to cry. I spend hours with her in her room, playing with her and then I have to take care of chores. She gets mad when I leave her and she finds anything to get my attention (or I assume to believe is done to get my attention). First I had to take all her crayons, washable markers, and paintbrushes away because she used them on the walls. Now she has lost all privileges to my computer because last night whilst watching "Kipper" she somehow found a Hello Kitty bobby pin and proceeded to engrave into my brand new 22" monitor. I was beyond furious, but all I could do was be shocked. I had just checked on her! It was very upsetting. My husband consoled her and put her to bed and I just sat down on the couch wondering what the hell I did to get this? I know it's not her fault and I know it's not completely mine, "kids do this" they all say, but you're talking to a woman who's spent a great deal of her twenties working full time, in a relationship 6+ years with no children. Some day's I tell my mom, "I don't feel like I can do this." And she smiles and tells me I can. My husband always helps out, and always gives me very positive feedback, so I have strength all around me, I suppose I just haven't enough on my own. I know it's hard, and I'm sure it's much harder for those of you who have a few kids, you're probably thinking, "Honey, that's a cake walk" and you can go ahead and say that, my Mom use to because she had two little kids 19 mos. apart. But the multiples aren't for me. One is almost too much for me. SO, there's my rant. I love Aleetha with everything I have, but sometimes...I just need a break.
