omg i had soooo much fun at michaels!! i really had to restrain myself, but it was FUN!! last time i was there i picked up 6 of there wonderful candles that were on sale. i ended up getting 6 more {i won't need to candle shop for a while!}!!! but they, of coarse, have all the fall and halloween goodies out. they have some new candles that are to die for! i'm hopping that they will go on sale after the season. cause they are yummy. like apple cinnamon, cinnamon bun, fall leaves...mmmm. so wonderful! they also had put out more halloween stuff so i perused that. they had so many things that i had to keep putting down! lol! the best thing that i saw was a giant crow statue! he was beautiful! he was 30 clams!! no go for me. :( however he had a lil bro who was only $2. :D ladies and gentlemen i give you poe: i'm thinking i'll ask for the big guy for my b-day. :D and then i found a wonderful little witchy who was just begging me to take her home! i give you beatrice gobblinworker: isn't she cute!?! they had one who had purple hair.. but bea just was to cute!! oh, and i got some witches brew candles that are black. :D :D :D i'm happy! i have to hold myself back when i go to these kinds of places cause i always want to buy out the store!!! ugh! they also had a broom with a sign that said something about witch parking all others will be toad. ;) i wanted that one to... but i restrained.

so cerberus told me about a wonderful book that is helping me out so much. i am reading it while i wait for his to come out!! click here to see his wonderful book. so as i wait i am reading *you can heal your life* by louise hay. it is amazing! loving it! if you all can check it out, you should! so something clicked for me while reading it. and cause i always like to share such things with you all, here you go! ;) i now know why i have always attracted and dated the boys that i wouldn't want to date. the very first guy i dated was a dream boat! blond hair blue eyes very athletic. he was HOT! we dated for a while {this was in jr. high} and then he had his friend call me and break up with me. i was devastated!! at that age i thought you were supposed to marry the fist boy you date. he had no reasons, just did it. as i was at home crying up a storm i was listening to def leppard... as i often did at that age. ;) and a line in bringing on the heartbreak hit me like a ton of bricks!! he says *easy come, easy go.* so i decided to let my now ex go. and not have power over me... well.... i never loved again. i never let anyone have such power over me. i began to date the guys that no one else would. almost anyone who would ask. i began to "protect" myself from that kinda hurt. aaannnndddd i really think that was the day that i decided i didn't need anyone's help! that i could do it all on my own. *sigh* that leaves you with an awfully lonely existence. but now i see it. and now i know that i can open myself up to accept a true love. and it's ok to get hurt. :D yay!!!! so i just had to share. hope you all have a wonderful day! off to work, then clean and get read for my vacation!! i am going to seattle on wed. to see my bro! yay!!!
