Wednesday, Okay, what are the dramas du
jour? Got a new car over the weekend… The dead car came back to life today (don't
ask me!). I can't get everything done that everyone
(including myself) thinks I can. Last time I was at hockey, I was swamped
with moms trying to give me custom orders or talking to me and I couldn't
even focus on one conversation at a time. I ended up taking pages of notes of
things that people want. So I said that Wednesday (tonight) will be
"Nellie night"… I'm ONLY working on stuff for Nellie. I'm hoping we
can find a place to set up and work. I hope I can get everything done that
she wants done. I finally got some listings up on eBay. Yay! One went right away and two others have bids. Feels
good to at least have bids. I had to pull a bunch of listings off, though,
'cause the hockey moms took some stuff right after I listed them. As soon as those listings are over, I can
update this website. I apologize to those who come here and then don't see
much. If I get time today, I'll put some new stuff up here. On the home front, I'm kinda
mad at Tennie (he's the one in the pic, btw, harassing the dog). He stole my lunch sandwich
twice from my bag this morning while I wasn't looking. ARGH! I think I've
discovered, though, that they can't smell the food if it's wrapped in foil…
so I'll try that from the get-go next time. No clue what's for dinner tonight.
I hate not having a plan or any preparations. That's usually when we either
end up getting cranky ('cause we eat too late) or getting fattening or
otherwise unhealthy food ('cause it's faster) or wasting money we don't have
('cause to get food in a timely fashion that isn't disgustingly unhealthy…
costs). In a perfect world, I am supremely organized.
I need to figure out when we can make a trip
to Grandma's house and show them the new truck. I don't even know yet what
days I'm taking off for the Christmas/New Year season. Jewelry-wise, the new news is that Gabe
finally got his supplies business up and running (on
eBay). Lots of orders to start off with, but I think that's just because
of the launch. I'm sure it will settle down soon. Not sure what weird project I want to start next…
I need to finish that bracelet with Chris's pc beads… the wire-wrap project
that will never sell 'cause I put too many hours into it. I also want to try
something for the Oh, Wednesday at hockey was fun (secreting
ourselves away in the party room… just focusing on one thing at a time)… but
I missed out on visiting with some of my favorite moms, too, then. And I couldn't
find the Midget mom whose earrings I still have… I guess I should just leave
them with Margaret. Speaking of Margaret, I have to remember I
want to make her a bracelet. Of course now I've forgotten what color she
wanted. D'oh! In a perfect world, I am supremely organized.
(That was left from last time, but it seems a good thing to keep… ha ha ha!) Monday, That picture was from when we went up to Tahoe
last winter for some games and stayed in SB's cabin. Bear LOVES riding in the car, but it strikes
me as funny that he never knows if he's jumping in for a 30-second trip
somewhere or a 4-hour trip. This weekend I tried to get as much listed in
the store as possible. Since it's now December, I updated my "New This
Month" section". I get a lot of requests for articles I've
written… when I can find time, I'll start posting
them on this site. I made a GORGEOUS charm bracelet during
in-house yesterday morning. I sat up in the bleachers all by myself and
watched the kids do hockey practice and what was it… an hour and a half? I'll
probably get a picture of it tomorrow… then I can show off. Gabe's findings are going
well… he's already selling out of many items. I have to call the mechanic and see if he can
do anything with the Honda on Wednesday. Why do I procrastinate on things I
don't want to do? Are they THAT terrible or THAT time-consuming? Not usually.
I started an outline of the menu for the Woman
Resource site. I'm excited about Karen taking on a column over there. Well, nothing exciting to relate… just wanted
to touch base. Saturday, I was emailing one of my new customers and I
mentioned liking her eBay name… from which one could assume she gets to pick
her pets. Heh… What I mean by that is that it seems
for the most part, our pets pick us. Why am I the home to so many strays? And
not just animals either. Oh no… I tend to attract strays of all sorts (and
we'll just leave it at that for now). I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet.
Bah! I made a necklace last night that I was SURE
Mike would say is butt-ugly, so it totally surprised me when he said it
wasn't bad (high praise coming from Mr. I Don't Like Art). I have to do something creative this weekend…
but I also want to clean some of the house in a very ballistic way… THROWING
THINGS OUT!!! Monday, Hey look! I'm getting better... I only missed Eventually, I'll be adding entries daily. Let's see, what news... I went through a stack
of papers... totally a major accomplishment for me. Yay!
The down side to that is most of the papers were bills, so I'm about $2000
lighter now. I feel a wee bit out of sorts... I've got a
couple of things on my mind... no, not Christmas or anything like that...
just stuff... that I don't feel like discussing, I guess. Going to Mom's tomorrow... which is daft
'cause I don't have any presents for anyone there. :-( I was so excited about
getting some time off and being able to schedule a visit to grandma's house
that I'd completely forgotten that I'm going empty-handed. ARGH! What a pig I
am! And worse, it's not only Christmas, it's Mom's birthday on the 30th. D'oh! It's not even the getting the presents that's
the problem... I can't ever THINK of anything cool. Hockey practice tonight should be the last one
for a several weeks. Oh.. ha
ha ha! Except for goalie
camp Wed-Fri. Well, maybe the week after Christmas will be
restful then. Have MANY jewelry pieces that need to be photo'd and listed. Sorry this was a totally lame entry... I told
you I was feeling out of sorts. Blah! Sunday, Okay, missed a bunch of days, I know... but
Christmas preparations should count as a great excuse, no? I would have had more to write here, except
that I spent an hour or so figuring out how to get my entries to show in
actual date order... that used up all the "me time" I was going to
expend blogging. I'm going to go clean up the disaster that was
a living room... bbl Tuesday, So another Christmas come and gone. Those guys
(in the photo) have both changed radically from a year and a half ago. G-boy
is about 2 inches taller than me. And although Sharkie
is the only non-fat cat we own, he's still much bigger than kitten size,
despite M's lamenting. Christmas, btw, was awesome... except for the
phone thing (boring story). Everyone got some neat stuff! My head hurts this
morning, so I won't go into the details... maybe later. Thanks, though, if
you're reading this oh giver of wonderful gifts! Okay, some of the things I
got were so neat I *will* have to mention then, but like I said... later. |
