Yeah, I had no idea what to put as a title. Don't even have much to say really.
The kids started back to school about 3 weeks ago and have no school on Monday, due to Labor Day. It has been relatively quiet, with nothing of notable mentioning to talk about. I am starting to work on things for the Grand Opening of Kateri Maka Gardens. Hopefully things will fall into place soon, so that everything can move fluidly and without issue. Right now, I am looking at the current prices of new molds, new bases, etc. I think I have found a decent price on Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Lanolin, and a few other critical bases and essential ingredients I need. I am looking at some of the newer molds, that are made of a more flexible material. Instead of the typical harder materials, that tend to crack after a certain amount of use. It is up in the air right now, as to wether candles, tarts and other items of the like, will be created and sold. I think that our main focus is on the body, mind and spirit, health wise. I am researching some things for healthier ingredients for the products that will be exclusive to Kateri Maka Gardens. I won't say what those items are at this point, as things are still being worked out. And not to mention, that would be giving away what our line of advertising will be =)
I do know that we will have stones, oils and other essential items for sale, that most Native American and other cultures utilize for their cultural needs.
So, keep an eye out for Kateri Maka Gardens. We just may be opening soon.

[insert witty entry title here]
I know, I know.....I haven't written anything in several days. I'm still trying to sort thru all my old blog entries so that I can add them here. I didn't realize just how many journals I had completely filled to the hilt, when I was using AOL Journals back in the day. I have enjoyed reading back thru some of the entries. Especially the entries i had written during my divorce and the two years after said divorce. I read back thru them and wonder how the hell I stayed strong and sane. Its good reading. Reminds me where I have been, where I am going, and where i don't ever want to go again.
It's almost time for school to start back up. I did some minor school shopping the other day and balked when I saw that for 6 pairs of shoes, 4 back packs, 4 packs of undies...total came to 120.00. That's like....a lot. Dude, I can think of so much I could spend that on and get more lol.
It is definitely a good thing that I love animals. It is definitely a good thing that Chy is a Vet tech. On Tuesday, two stray dogs showed up on our property. Out of the blue. Poor things looked awful. It looks like they had been roaming for some time. Ribs showing, fur missing, pads of their paws worn. But they are such sweet girls! Did a search for the owners and apparently they were abandoned when the owners moved. So....we took them in (I know....that makes 7 dogs that we have now). Dakota promptly took the older dog and named her Soteria, and named the young pup (which we have since discovered is Soteria's puppy) and named her Aimee. They are so well behaved, and housebreaking proved to be a simple task with them. They have settled in nicely thus far.
Aside from things being overly hot and humid here, not much for me to update on right now. I'm sure i will find something update worthy.

Cropsey documentary & Disappeared: Lee Cutler documentary
I normally steer clear of controversial subject, for the simple fact that tempers tend to flare and the discussion almost always gets heated. Generally a discussion on religion goes array and the parties involved get very heated because they are passionate about their own beliefs. It's fine to be passionate about your own belief system. Seriously. Really...it is. The type of discussion I am referring to is the one that winds up being nothing but a big "bash fest" and tempers get out of control. Not cool. Seriously.
I have been watching the much anticipated "Cropsey: The Urban Legend" documentary. I was looking forward to it for the simple fact that, the previews made it look pretty interesting. So far, I am disappointed. It is not at all what the previews led people to think it was to be. Its interesting to a point, but is filled with a lot of very boring, very circumstantial evidence. At one point they bring religion into the picture and refer to Satanic Cults. Ok, what struck me as odd is the fact that a retired detective compared Satanism to Catholicism. Umm hello, two very different worlds. Two very different sets of beliefs. I will state right here, right now, I disagree with religious comparisons like that. BUT, who am I to judge another for his or her belief system? I am not going to judge another because of their belief system. I will say this though, If you believe in God, then you must believe in Satan. No I don't mean worship either one. I mean believe. Lucifer (Satan) was an archangel, that was cast from Heaven. With that said, how can one believe there is a God and not a Devil? I find it interesting when I hear people state they do not believe in Satan, yet they believe in the God that cast him from heaven. I have my own opinions on the documentary, but you need to form your own. Watch it and form your own opinions on it.
Prior to watching Cropsey, I was watching a documentary called Disappeared. The episode I was most interested in was the one about Lee Cutler. This young man disappeared in October of 2007 (October 20, 2007 if I recall). His mother has held onto hope beyond all hope for the last 3 years. I admire her strength to stay hopeful. Lee disappeared and has not been heard from since. From what I have been able to read, there have been a few sitings of him and last one said that he had mentioned going to California. For all my Cali friends, go to:
Facebook | Let's Find Lee
...look at the pictures of this young man, and see if maybe you have seen him on the streets, in a store etc. I encourage others to look as well. His mother deserves to have closure and to find out one way or another as to wether her son is alive or dead. My heart really goes out to this family. They have been searching for three long years for their loved one. They have remained hopeful and smiled, when they wanted to cry and curl up in a corner. NO parent should have to go thru something like this. My heart aches for them. I'd lose my mind if it were me in that situation.
