This Weekend
We’re celebrating this weekend with a dressing up occasion, and I’m going as a Scorpio aka Scorpion! You’ll be able to see the equipment I purchased in my Amazon Halloween store.
I don’t actually “imagine” in zodiac indicators, however I’ll say that all the things I’ve ever examine Scorpios is true to me, so maybe I’ve fulfilled the prophecy!
