Good Decisions Thursday
I love that little ginger kitteh icon.
Anyway, onto the awesome.
I keep expecting someone to slap me and tell me that Obama didn't win. I wonder if this is what it was like when Kennedy was elected. Hmm. *knocks on wood*
Today I bring you all sorts of things in my life update including a tasty herbal tea recipe to get you on your feet when you have a cold, and pictures! Whoo!
Wearing
My British invasion Barbie T and some jeans. My hair is in that crazy regency style again. i have accessorized with plastic blue heart earrings.
Writing
Thanks to Prop 4 I've been working on my first serious slam piece in a year. I'm promising myself I'll get off my ass and go to an open mike night. both osirusbrisbane and theryk have been instrumental in me actually revisiting this area of my life. Not that I've ever told them until now of course.
I'm also working on The Bone Brides. It's a short chaptered story I'm putting on The Violentbelle. Why there? Because I've already made the jewelry pieces to go along with it...well all except for the uberbigsurprise I hope to make. Score!
Family
I really look forward to Thanksgiving. Once again I can't afford to see my sister, but I do plan on rocking out at my inlaws' house. They have said we can bring any orphaned friends we like, and we plan on doing so. I'm trying to see if T will make his deeeelicious pumpkin pie. I myself am going to experiment with making a pumpkin cheesecake.
Violentbelle
Ton of new pieces up today. Mostly cute little earrings and such. Handcuffs anyone? The real good stuff will come along this afternoon. I've decided to do one more price drop on mini hats. Now I'm just being absurd.
Business is slowing, but I'm proud that all of you are with me on my kickass new journey.
Recipe
Sniffles can overtake any household, and I know it. Usually I drink a few cups of tea a day n order to kep the sniffles away and soothe my throat. Here is my favorite tea. The instructions are for a large pot rather than a cup. Brew for 5-10 mins depending on the strength you want.
2 tbls peppermint
1tbls lemon balm
1tbls linden flower
four pieces raw ginger
1 lotus root
honey to taste.
The lemon balm and peppermint are great for taste and throat soothing. The lotus root is for coughs, the linden flower is for fever, headaches, and chills, and need I mention the effect of ginger on the taste and digestive system?

I took this photo Tuesday night when we were wandering Hollywood looking for photo ops. Nothing appeared, but I do love this old jewelry maker's sign post. There's something beautiful about a clock in the darkness.
