Mystical Mundane

before #5 arrives. And sheesh, Im so nervous. going under the knife, even though this is the 5th c section (6th abdominal surgery) and you would think I would be ok with it by now... I am still so scared. The spinal, the catheter, the drainage tube in the abdomen, hoping that the baby comes out crying, healthy and well... hoping I don't bleed to death on the table... lol. Ok, no really, Im serious.... Im looking forward to meeting our newest addition and finding out whether it is a boy or girl. Truthfully, even though I REALLY wanted to know, I am actually super glad we didn't find out. This is our last. I closed down the store until the 15th of January to give myself time to heal before worrying about making stuff and shipping etc.... Well, just wanted to give a quick update, little D, as usual is attacking my hands while I am trying to type... he REALLY wants to type on the comp, so when Im typing, he grabs my hands and tries to move them so that HE can type. ITs really cute,

Bad witch. I did really nothing at all today for Solstice. My lil guy was crabby as heck...my hubby was tired from a long snowy busride back from Kelowna... The snow is kind of depressing me. Family will most likely not come out for Christmas if the weather keeps up as it has... and the worst of it being, if the weather does not improve, I may not have anyone here to watch little D while we go have this new baby on the 29th. Good news is that the store is doing well. More stuff uploaded. Ive made a few sales. :D UGH! Little D is up crying!!! He never does that anymore... guess I better go check it out!

The store is done. I am still uploading more items to it, but now it is online, running and all is working. Ive made three batches of massage oil, two different batches of soaps, two different salves (foot massage salve with lavender, mint and rosemary as well as all purpose healing salve with calendula, chickweed and comfrey) .. there are some BEAUTIFUL hand dipped tapers from Kootenay Candles, and incense, and more is being added all the time. www.terraspiritessentials.ca [caption id="attachment_132" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Earthy Delights Soap"] [/caption] [caption id="attachment_133" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="All Natural Healing Salve"] [/caption]

It is amazing how much time (and patience) starting up this business is taking. First of all I've been having a nightmare of a time with a webhosting company that I had read GREAT things about. They advertised in their package that they offer Plesk Sitebuilder, osCommerce, SSL certificates (for $15/year) and a bunch of other included, bundled things. They also said that anyone can make a great online storefront in just minutes. So, I was working on my site at www.terraspiritessentials.ca (the home page looked great) and when building the actual Eshop, I felt it was lacking the customizing I wanted for multiple item shipping etc. So, I asked tech support if osCommerce was available to use. They said yes, and said they would get it installed for me. Yay! Sounded great. In the meantime I noticed that neither my blog OR my Eshop was showing up through my site. The pages just came up 'internal error'. So, I put the Eshop on invisible for the time being, seeing as how my items w
