Lookie what I get to talk about now!


Posted by Sun T.

My wedding!!! And just in time for our 5th anniversary which is Saturday.
Our wedding was a hurried one, seeing as how we were planning to wait till we had been together a full year and get married but we cut it down to 4 months and planned it in 4 days. My wedding dress had already been commissioned to be custom made by a local dressmaker. It was to be purple and white, princess cut, that billowed out and made me look like royalty. Obviously, that didn’t happen since we moved the wedding up so far. I ended up wearing my mother’s gown after we had done a few alterations like take off the sleeves and add tulle. I had a beautiful crown of austrian crystals on my head which was attached to the veil.

The original theme of my wedding was supposed to be
purple and white, but ended up being mint green, white, and ice blue. It actually looked pretty together, though.
We decided to get married in an Assembly of God church we both attended at the time, so we chose the candle ceremony as part of our wedding rituals. Our parents lit our candles, then we got to light the one in the middle together.
I was so hurried that I forgot to get out my brand new fan-like guest book and get everyone to sign, but I do have a tape of my wedding somewhere in my mother in law’s house.
*sigh* it was a great day that will always live in my heart!!
By the way, my deceased grandmother is in the background holding my cousin. It will be a year November 4th since she passed over.


Anyone have a kitchen timer / egg timer I can use?


Posted by Sun T.

It’s for my son so I can show him what “timely cleanup” means! I was looking at buying a kitchen timer that goes for 60 minutes or something like that…but buying on Ebay and paying the shipping for it is stupid. I don’t get to the store very often since we only have one car now, so if anyone has a spare timer or one they don’t need anymore let me know. The timers on Ebay are $5 and up with shipping being at least that much. I am willing to pay the shipping and some extra, just as long as it’s not $10. I appreciate it!!!


mortgages can be hazardous to your pocket


Posted by Sun T.

Looks like I found something to blog about :D
My husband and I tried to get a mortgage for a house over a year ago. We went through two different companies in South Jersey. The first company took about $500 and after assuring us we were clear for a regular loan, called to say we only qualified for an 85/15 loan. It means that the mortgage company was only going to pay 85% of the loan amount and our down payment had to be the other 15%. We were looking at a house that was only $70K, but that is still an outrageous amount of money for a down payment. The other company LIED to get us a loan *we found out later*, ruined our credit, took more money, and left us battered from the experience. We learned our lesson. If we decide to try and get another loan, after we fix our credit, we are going through a more reputable company.
If you are looking into loans and things, make sure you check all over for information. There are many sites that offer information on getting a home loan mortgage. This particular one has plenty of info to get you started, an
d they use a SecureTrust system to make sure you don’t get spam and solicitation calls. They have forums, too, just in case you want more insider info.

kinkade is the coolest


Posted by Sun T.

Who else here LOVES Thomas Kinkade’s work? I surely do…I wish I could have him paint me a huge wall sized mural. I can oggle his works as long as I want. I would LOVE to adorn my house with Thomas Kinkade Christmas Gifts, Kinkade art collectibles, Music boxes and whatnot. His lighthouses are so inspiring. The winter scenes bring you into another realm! I really really love this Christmas wreath I fell in love from the moment I laid eyes on it… I keep going back to the site just to stare at it LOL. They have a bunch of other Thomas Kinkade Collectibles available, too. I have always been such a fan of his. Our local bible book store devoted a whole section to Kinkade’s artwork and anything that had his designs. I miss being able to go there and just languish the in the beauty there.

Numerology…not a big fan


Posted by Sun T.

If any of you know about me, you probably know that I am not into numerology, spells, magic, and whatnot. I cannot stand Harry Potter and the many books and movies the author has been able to render since beginning this “fantasy”. I also am not fond of the fact that you can get spells free of charge. It totally bugs me out. I have been known to peek at a horoscope or two from time to time for fun, but I am not a follower of all things occult. I didn’t say I don’t believe in them, because I know that they have power. I know that they are not a figment of imagination, but a dangerous tool.
I used to practice Wicca as a teenager, and let me tell you: it’s no joke. You open the doors to some pretty nasty things when you start on this path. I am not trying to preach the gospel here, I am just letting you know. If you decide to start dabbling in the black arts, brace yourself for whatever may come. It might seem fun and easy now, but these things have a way of turning on you. White magic, black magic, it’s all magic. Witches and warlocks, wizards and cauldron
s all seem like child’s play to many of us… but there are many others of us that know these things are not mere toys. They aren’t mere characters to be used in children’s stories.
Just be careful with anything you choose to do when it comes to the spirit realm…be wise.
