Ideas, Ideas and More Ideas

This week I have started my second semester of Pagan classes online. Now I have a reasearch paper due in nine weeks. So here I am 10:43 p.m. and I can't sleep because I have a million ideas chasing around my freaky little mind. The subjects I am thinking of writing my paper on are....Handfasting Rituals, Formulary of a Spell, Magickal Handcrafting, Witch Hunts Truth and Falacy, Basic Pagan History or Altar Designs. How is that for a wide array of ideas.

Then as I am thinking about this I decided that since I am a writer I need to write a book titled "Pocket Book of Pagan Rituals" something that has all the little basics in it. I would need the Wiccan Rede, The Pagan Laws, Casting a Circle, Invocing the God/Goddess, Blessings, etc. So now it's on my mind that I need to gather all this information into one place and then begin to put it together in a logical book format and start writing. Ok, but that seems dumb since right now I am just starting two classes and I have a ton of appointments and such coming up soon. Maybe I'll put off writing the book until about ten weeks from now. I know it's a great idea I just need to get it moving after I finish my paper. Once the paper is written I won't worry about my classes so much! That is my only really big issue with classes. I haven't written a thesis paper since college which I graduated from twelve years ago. The paper is going to be tough, but I can do it.

Otherwise I am just manic and cannot slow down the last few days. Yesterday in two hours I went to the bank, the post office, the library, the grocery store and took the boys sledding for as long as the little ones could take it anyway. I would have been out longer but Brett started freaking out when his last run down the hill threw a ton of snow up in his face. He just lost it (he doesn't like water in his face at all). So we came home for hot cocoa and to make dinner. Throughout the rest of the day I baked a banana cake (which is already gone), baked bread, did a couple loads of laundry and watched the Incredible Hulk with Billy and Brett. Wow....what a busy day yesterday was. Today I haven't accomplished a lot but I have caught up on a lot of my online pages and made a huge ham dinner for Imbolc today.

I have also taken up walking again. I try to get out everyday (at least when the weather allows) to go for a walk and try to shed some of these unwanted pounds. I need to drop 50 pounds by July and 90 by Christmas. That is the goal I have for myself. I need to look better for Bill and I to be Handfasted and renew our vows this summer.
