hello everyone! it's been quite awhile since i've been to covenspace! i was having trouble logging into the site here recently and then life has gotten in the way.

i'm still going strong on my business. i can't wait to start adding in my "crafty" stuff if you catch my drift :D been taking costume commissions for my dollies. i'll definatlly have to post some of my work here.

but the most important thing and the most tragic that has happend since last post. my father in law passed away dec 8th. and we're still trying to recover over that. =\ it's going to be a long road.

anyways i thought i'd post a quick hi! it's grocery shopping time!

 

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behaviour. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

 

ganked this from someone else. thought it was humorous  

My husband bought me a new tarot deck. it's a wonderful set with fairies alllllllll over. and it's perfect for me. it came in a green box...i'm starting to see a trend with things i buy..all green, all books i have purchased, except for one, and now the tarot deck is green lol. guess my little green ball i see is showing me the way.

my birthday is next week, the 17th, i'll be 23. i'm excited. not sure if i'm doing anything for my birthday or not.  we'll just have to see.

and it's a bit odd. i have a friend from high school that recently got in contact with me. i thought she hated me because i was dating another woman, but apparently another friend of mine told her that i hated her. grrr. i hate feeling left in the dark about things like this. we'll just have to see what happens with this.

 

._. not thrilled about tomorrow being friday the 13...eh. 

Is there anything any of you would recommend to do to celebrate this summer solstice(sp?, forgive me it's late lol)? I still have not learned much about the individual holidays what goes into them and i would like to do something.  i have no local group or coven to celebrate with so i have no one local to lean on here lol. anyone got any ideas? i'll really big with candals and herb magic. but any particual kind? any ritual you find helpful? i know this seems last min..but i meant to post this a few days ago xD life..don'tcha love it.

Stolen from My brother's myspace blog. figured i'd share.

 

A School Lesson

Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she took all of the desks out of the classroom. The kids came into first period, they walked in, there were no desks. They obviously looked around and said, "Ms. Cothren, where's are our desks?" "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them." They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades." "No," she said. "Maybe it's our behavior." And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior." And so they came and went in the first period, still no desks in the classroom. Second period, same thing. Third period ... By early afternoon television news crews had gathered in Ms. Cothren's class to find out about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of the classroom. The last period of the day, Martha Cothren gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the desks that sit in this classroom ordinarily." She said, "Now I'm going to tell you." Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it, and as she did 27 U.S. veterans, wearing their uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. They placed those school desks in rows, and then they stood along the wall. And by the time they had finished placing the desks, those kids for perhaps the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks. Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. These guys did it for you." "They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't you ever forget it." God Bless the American Soldier,  the United States of America and Ms. Martha Cothren... "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to them to do the same or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when we were free." -- Ronald Reagan
