Bartering is Cool !

I had the pleasure of working the Keep Austin Bizarre Christmas Bazaar this weekend with my Bf Tim.  He did really well selling his Twisted Tree Jewelry:)  I love hanging out a behind the booth at the festivities. I always meet the coolest, craziest folks. There was fire dancing, tons of hula hooping!, music, and lots of homemade goodies.  We even had a couple folks camping out on our living room floor last night!
On the first day of the bizarre I noticed this mozaic peice of art with the yellow rose. I went directly up to Mrs. Candace Beck and asked her if she would like to trade her peice for massage.  I told her to think it over and  I'll come back around on Monday to see if someone had bought it from her. Candace actually ended up coming to find me and we came to a fair agreement! I now own this beatiful peice of art for four hours of massage. What a beautiful thing to have something valuable to share with other people:)
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! I can't wait to go to Ohio and celebrate with everyone I love :)
ciao for now

Feeling like I need to restore

Today I feel like I need to recharge my battery.  I need some passion. I need a swift kick in the ass.  Will someone please tell me how a person like myself... can get herself so far down in the dumps?  Someone who is not okay with being in the dumps.  I am not okay with this!   Since when am I not happy? What the hell is going on? It's like  I am on a big ass wooden rollercoaster going a million miles an hour... so fast that I can't even catch up with my own thoughts. I don't have time to think about which way to turn becuase it's all just flying by.  One big blurry mess...up and down.... up and down. I want off!!! 
On a lighter note... It is time to change something. I need a break.  Some mental relief. Not sure what yet... I keep thinking about spending some time at like a yoga/meditation retreat.  No alcohol. No sleep deprevation. No work. No money! Nada.  Just peaceful time to catch up with my brain.  The problem is... responsibilities. I have an apartment to pay for. I have people that depend on me. (There I go again!)  I want to make this happen.

Sometimes I feel like I am already becoming this old woman...Where is the carefree self I used to know? I want her back! It's time to change. It is time to restore my temple.
