What i want is a BIG leather purse that is butter soft and To big for me to forget.   Decorative scarves for hair and/or creative accessorizing? What colors? Okay I LOVE LOVE LVOE hair sticks, problem is they ahve to be bright and sturdy enough to hold up THICK heavy hair. I snap little ones or they jsut arnt enough to hold it up. I need at least 7 inc of usable stick. I LOVE LOVE wooden ones that are about the size of good chop sticks. They need to be rounded and smooth or my hair eats them. I used to have some beautiful red ones what i wore for years. I accident snaped them when i had my hair to high and wound it to tight on the stick, I was sad   Would you like anything from Starring Fragrances. They make awesome hair stuff, natural deoderant, and home fragrance (and a ton of other stuff, those are just my favs)? humm not sure wonder if i can find a link.

Like, if someone was going to get you a tapestry or a box or some other item, what period would you want it to most resonate with? the pinks and golds of Rococo? the clean geometry of Art Deco?

With stuff in it? Are you more a plain chocolate lover, a chocolate and normal items lover (normal items being nuts, fruit, caramel) or do you like weird stuff in your chocolate?

Yea Nay? yay   If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Oh yeah I liek this idea   If you were to make an order RIGHT NOW (Not that any of you will make any bpal orders until SW is over, because you do NOT want to mess up any plans your witch might have!) What would you order (from lab, forum, DD, TradingPost, etc)cant broke   What level of nudity are you fine with on items? Ex: none, tasteful, erotica tasteful   I know the ?airre asked about gently used books and if you like garage sales, but would you like other kinds of gently used items that may have come from a garage sale? Sure, if you look at my etsy list you will see enlightened Platypus's creations, GODS i would kill to have her skills and be able to have a coat of hers for me and my girls. all her stuff is reused upcycled. so yeah i can see this   Do you like cooking seasonings, like the kind you can get in ounce sizes? If so, things you'd love to try out? oh man yes yes i go, i go through the pampered chef lemon seasoning like it was easy to get hold of. We are getting to point where we can grill again so nice un hot spicey seasonings would be a hit here (both hubby and i have tummy trouble with to much heated spices)   Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? ALLERGIC to TEA ( i can have herbal stuff and i really like them) Hubby has developed a new thing for mint teas so he would like any of those   Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Humm I like to snack on salty cereals (i eat ALL the chex out of chex mix drives hubby crazy)

nooo not snarky TV

Damn damn damn, I didn't need to see the Castle Pilot really I DONT NEED A snarky TV show to watch. So witch i thought i should mention i have been adding to the great WANT list of doom at amazon. Its become a kinda wonder land of things i want. So i will at some point NEED the rest of this show. It has fabulous music, to go with snarky dialog, its all things love. But i have only now seen two episodes the first and one some where in season 1 (it was about a girl rocker's death) so i can't do any fandom or anything like that YET.   Well the oldest just woke and puked her dinner down the stairs, I was thinking ti would be an early night for me. No such luck.

I am going to try weening myself back instead of the abrupt stop this time.   I will be posting to the IGT thread about the girls fairy booklets. They are Frothing to get to them and i keep telling them they have to help me get a place cleaned off to do it.   I am almost 25 pages behind on the SW thread due to my weekend in the fog. I will slog through it today and hope to get to the minty catch uped ness by tonight, but it may be tomorrow.

I have been trying to give up caffeine again this past week i spent mostly in bed trying to be conscious for anything I HAD to do. it was not pretty. My head ache was almost gone this morning so with some errands and having to take the little one to school ia m a little beter today.   I plan on tackling the thread later today, i am sure after a weekend away I am WAY behind.

i have been poked

All right i have been poked. today was traumatic so i am behind on most things. But i think the question you want answered is the whole kidlets costume thingy. i am nto against it, i am really leaning towards make both of them faeries or princesses. I haven't gotten stuck on EITHER yes but that the lean. if you want to send them something for it then Go on, if they dont' end up with it for their costumes i am sure it will be put to use in their dress up clothes.   i am not really up to anymore tonight. I will try to do better tomorrow.

Question answers!

just so you know with you around i have been on etsy WAY more than i think is healthy.     9/15/10 How do you feel about silly, funny knick-knack, dollar store stuff, stickers, magnets etc? Would you like receiving that kind of stuff or rather not? I am not a knick nack person unless its something of one on my anime and even then I try very hard to ONLY buy things I can't LIVE without.   Is there a specific book you've been wanting to get but haven't found the time or the opportunity to? oh man I am on a “broke no book” policy right now. I can not WAIT for November when I plan on going absolutely CRAZY   Do you read mangas/watch animes? Which ones? Do you have a particular favorite? Would you like to receive managas or anything related to them? *GRABY HANDS* Oh man the current no money for books thing has me so behind on these. I have SERIES of books. Did I remember to link my librarything account in my questionaire? If not feel free to ask for it or heck look for me I have the same name over there. I have favorite mangas I am a weakling when it comes to pretty pretty boys. So on the top right now is Hana-Kimi (I have it all AND The art book but havn't found the extras shes been doing), Saiyuki (I am waiting like a MAD woman for Gaiden to get released in the states), Ouran Host Club and I think Hikaru no Go (damn Viz for not giving me all the DVDS) I love so many other and there are particular character to which I may not like the manga so much as the character     Are you open to receiving things that are not on your wishlist, maybe something your Witch thinks you might like? Oh sure   If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead? Obviously we don't want to copy anyone else's design, but if we can replicate the flavour or intent that you like without stepping on toes? Oh yep that would be fine       OK, I know that lots of folks love socks. Do you have a preference of length? Materials? Patterns? How do people feel about word magnets- SOCKS , I would kill for some soft soft soft soft socks, I actually like mid calf or higher so I can slouch them down   9/14/10 Chocolate or other types of candy?not chocolate   For tea drinkers, do you prefer loose leaf or tea bags?i like loose but I am always on the look out for herbals   If you would enjoy something of a knitted persuasion, do you have a preference on type of thing? Since making a scarf for someone who has 10 might be a smidge excessive? Also, how do people feel about shawls? Shawl you say? If it was WARM and Soft and BIG I would so use it this winter as I huddle in front of my computer. I shall look around etsy to see if I can find some ideas of it is to look at. went and spent 3 hours surfing etsy knitting things I added a few of the shaws I liked to my great list of DOOM and then while I was there I added lots of yarns that made me go all covetous     Is there a TV, movie or literary character that you are a lot alike, or would like to be alike? I would love to be like someone so far no luck   Is there anything you need for your kitchen, ie measuring cups, spoons, grater, ect? butchers twine and some lemony seasoning   Music, DO you prefer Live or Studio? Edited or explicit?  Hehe my own question. I like LIVE and I like mine un censored I can't STAND the stupid edits the do for the radio   If you are an animal lover, is there a specific type/breed that you love most?yes I am a horse and big dog lover   Also flowers and plants- If you like flowers/plants, do you have a favorite(s)? I love flowers I like them LOUD and bright. Gerber daisies, lilies, Poppies   Do you have a favorite quotation? Song lyric? Book passage? Oh man I have been stuck on Smile by Lilly Allen (shes such a naughty thing) this week favorite verse-   At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile     WhateverthehecktheycalltheanonymousregionalwisdomthingiePROVERB! that word. Heaven willing and the creek don't rise – I say this A LOT   What is a bpal scent that you've been dying to try for awhile but just can't find? (A scent w here even a tester would do)    Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that you have some children/spawn (1 or more), and, hypothetically speaking, your witch would like to spoil them a little but knows nothing of kids these days. What do they like or dislike? Also is there anything a (sane) adult might think they would like that you don't think is appropriate for whatever reason? (I'm thinking of things like temp tattoos, make up, things that make noise, or anything else that might be bad for non-obvious reasons.)my girls love lots of things but I have a strict no annoying toys rule. As I think its unfair to make me even crankier than I already am   Is there anything you would like that can be delivered over the internet? Things like fanfic recs, cat macros, mp3s you are looking for, how-to or amusing videos, things like that – humm fanfic recs are GOOD but finding things for me can be a challenge. If you do want to go that route I can give you my favorite communities and or pairings. A couple of my authors do charity writing in my section I sooo wanted a story written for the help Pakistan drive but didn't have the 10 bucks to bid on it. I gobble itunes cards like candy. I have never done anything with netflix or the like but I am not knocking it.   What would your last meal be if it could be anything in the world (sky is the limit, drinks too, the whole shebang)  Hummm this has changed with my health going down hill and the alcohol allergy no more bottle of blue label whiskey for my dinner. Ia m not sure what I would ask for now.     NaNoWriMo? Yes and I am thinking of trying YET again.

here we go the rest of the list- i am CAUGHT UP   9/8/10 Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you? Actually I sat thinking about this for awhile. I am a Bitch and depending on the day I am an old hound dog or the black german Shepard ready to defend themselves and their charges. I tend to see animals at times where they shouldn't be. Twice now when a friend has passed away bald eagles have shown up not sure if they are totems or not but they are soothing in my grief   Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff?

I actually am a textured person when I feel worst I tend to go fins something satin or silk and slide it through my hands. Its a weird thing but it has always soothed me   Favorite Halloween/Scary movies/books hummm Hocus Pocus, Pratical Magic ( I am in Love with the Aunts clothes in that movie, oh to be stockard channing. The music make this movie I think)   What would the name of your custom blend be? The description?  Humm I think its would be -   Ditzy Archivist – the smell of books, inks, with the hint of apple candy left on a high shelf     COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try? I WANT all the Patrica Briggs Comics, I have the first four and havn't been able to get the rest. I also have the first few Anita Blake graphic novels I would love to get the rest or one of the Asher prints they did a couple of years ago for the book room   Warm drinks? I love milk chocolate coco, my hubby only does dark chocolate and i don't like it. I also love vanilla steamers which is basically vanilla steamed milk. With my tea allergy its always dangerous to try things like chai.   9/6/10 When you go to an etsy wishlist, it will tell you what things are sold. If you click on the sold item, sometimes it will give options that are similar to what was sold, but not identical, would you like the similar item or prefer not to get it at all unless it's the same item? How picky are you? my etsy list is a hodge podge of things that caught my eye. As such it has all KINDS of things on it. I liked the look of. It a good idea getter but its isn't actually anything I am expecting a certain thing from   Do you wear make up? for occasions, but it looks like ia m going to have to get a job and I could sure use the basics (a tutorial would be nice) on mineral makeup for a business.

I have a PS3 so I get dvd and blue ray   Would you like custom icons as a gift? It wouldn't be bad, not sure what I would be though   9/5/10 What is your favourite snack food, something you could grab any time?i can hurt myself on shelled sunflower seeds,   Ebooks Only if they are Baen, so far the others have defeated me.   Nail Polish:oh hell yeah, I love the stuff   Soft/plushy things:in this house you could die by plushie avalanche   What hobby/craft would you like to learn how to do?quilt, I Sooo want to learn how to do this   For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones?: I prefer cute   Also, as part of the cute-or-creepy question, would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock? I wouldn't' turn it down, not sure what they would do though   how do you feel about mortars and pestles Wow I would be totally blown away by something like this. I have always wanted one that was functional not just a decoration   Is there anything you have a phobia of, or that would make you go "squick" if you saw it in a package? I don't do snakes, if it looked anything LIFE like I would jump.

First round of questions answered

I am working on the great list of questions, if you have questions i am willing to answer them   9/4/10 Are you into Austen's books?  Umm no, although if you had an Old battered copy of pride and prejudice that i can try and read again i have been told to try again now that i am older   Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested? I did but I lost my deck last year to the Girls who thought they were just big playing cards. I would love a new set, but they would need a nice box that I can put up unnoticed   So for those of you who are into Harry Potter at all, which house do you think you'd be sorted into? I am a Ravenclaw through and through (I used to miss the bus because I was sitting there reading when it came)   What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure?I have to admit I watch Mythbusters about any time I watch an actual SHOW. But my guilty pleasure is Palidia chanel with all the concerts. I LOVE live music and having it on my tv is an extra bonus   If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it? Hummm as a largish person I try NOT to go out in public but I would love one of those bright scarves to use while I do my belly dancing exercise   Celebrity crush?:Keanu Reeves, followed closely by Brad Pitt with orlando Bloom hanging around for effect.   Knitted things?:YES, although I am sensitive to itchies with some fibers. BUT I have to say one of my not so secret wishes is for a LONG ravenclaw scarf for me and a slitheren on for the hubby   What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?hummm never had a mixed dvd what is on that?   DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted? You philistine how could you even mention formatted in my presence   Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD? I like both, the only thing is I like to listen to mix cds in the car which dosn't do mp3s   Do you like scented tarts? I don't have anything to do anything with them not against them just not sure what they Do   Lip balms? yes but only really good balms. A past witchy set me up with my lip stuff ( mylipstuff.com)and I have been in love with it every since but I am almost out with winter in Ohio approaching   Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers? Sorry the only thing I have is pieces ears and I am always on the look out for new studs that my ears won't eat.   Booze. Do you drink it, would you like some I lvoe booze and any that come to the house will be drunk by someone     What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs) humm I love lots of artists but it is the pieces not the artist themselves that draw me in. I love the early works of Kim McElroy ( http://www.spiritofhorse.com/ ) her illusionary horses are in person just amazing. I find her more recent stuff and her new world view a little wooo woo. I live to read about what ever Ursula Veron ( http://www.redwombatstudio.com/ )has come up with to do this time. I adore this woman and some day will make a pilgrimage to a con shes attending just to shake her hand and thank her for all the laughs I have had since following her lj all those years ago. If she ever does DO the hamsutra I Have GOT to have one!! I like bright gorgeous colors but I also like classics such as van gogh's sunflowers and starry night. Monet depending on the canvass. I like color and I like it In your face. Humm I wonder if this answer makes any sense to anyone not me.     9/03/10 Hallowe'en plans? kidlet trick or treating, I am thinking the spawn should be faeries this year so I am looking for cost effective wings and so on.   Mix Cds?oh yeah   Girlyness level? That depends on a day to day basis I am almost a man. Exept for my vainness about getting my hair put up every day. But I LOVE LOVE to pamper myself sometimes, I indulge in things like bubble baths and I LOVE the Ice prince Oil (I should horde it but oh its so relaxing) On the other hand no one in their right mind things i am a guy.   9/02/10 Baked goods: all for this I love baked foods   Gifts for other household members: the girls if not given their own will probably mis appropriate something from the packages   Are you someone who'd rather have lots of small testers of different things on your wishlist, or would you rather have one or two "big" things? Hummm My poor little wishlist for bpal is so smallish right now. That most of what ON it I will take in what ever form I can get my grubby paws on it and be a VERY happy camper for getting it   social networking usernames, ie twitter, facebook, livejournal, ravelry, anything else: I am on LJ as therhoda, dreamwidth as the same. I don't post much and most of what i DO post is fandom and whiny. But feel free to add me.   would you like to receive Groupons or similar deals/gift certificates from your Witch? The deals on groupon look sweet but I am not sure anything Would be ME there.   How about tshirt/bottoms sizes? I am fat!@ sooo you are look at a mens large or a womens xl or xxl as far as tops. I am a size 22 top and a size 20 pants. But I would love some nice flannel anything, I tend to sleep in old flannel shirts in the winter, I tend to steal them from male relatives or beg for them for holidays.

dear witchie

I would like to admit right now that i plan on talking to you. I hope you have found this blog at some point and so i am not TALKING to myself.   I fell into something in etsy today. i DIDN'T know they had fabrics. I happen to have s SLIGHT addiction to bright colored fabrics. My main problem is i can never figure out how to DO something with them. it has been my intention for YEARS to find someone that will explain a way to use my fabric horde. I am a magpie as you will see from what i put in the amazon list tonight. The problem is I want two things from a quilt. I want it to be pretty and i want to SLEEP under it. these are rather Mutually non sequators to each other. I am sure i could MAKE the top of a quilt, but i have NO IDea On how to go about backing and filling it.   Sooo it has always been this thing i will do. I have 25 YEARS worth of jeans to be made into something and three drawers full of the brightest and funess cottons.   So there witchie an idea sorta.

damned enablers!

Okay in typical SW fashion i have now stumbled upon the weird and fascinating Fyrinnae cosmetics. I LOVE this concept but i have NO idea where i would get started OR how to do it. BUT Witchy i would LOVE some samples of this!!although i would need their pixie epoxy to keep it on with. Or a make up base of some sort as i am soooo not up on make up stuffage.   so far the one i WANT the most is Daemon’s Tail as it sound FABULOUS! not sure i have anywhere to ACTUALLY where it but i would SURE try it out and wear it around the house. I also love the names and colors of Rapunzel had extensions, Oberon, and shinkirou.   As always this is just an idea of my color choices and ideas.

While I Wait

So here ia m waiting for yet another round to start, I though i would leave a note to my witch. First i will adore you unless you just don't talk to me at ALL. I don't need daily updates but if i go a month with not a note I will start to twig and think you don't like me. its a personal failing but i am trying to be upfront about it.   now i have some wishlists i am going to link for you. I want to say right off that they are so you know what i LIKE, not that i expect you to get them for me.   My mondo everything that catches my magpie like eye list. including things i need for my new Wii system we were just given. the anime collection and my massive appetites for books -   http://amzn.com/w/24GWTFJ3CCST7   for ideas -   http://www.etsy.com/people/therhoda/favorites?ref=favorites     I don't mind answering anything you might need me to answer. If you need a close collaborator Lisanut is a RL friend and can be counted on to ferret out anything you may need.   *noms her chew toy*
