Bran Fox!
Just an amusing note. While I was on the phone yesterday my son hijacked the computer. He openned the Firefox and somehow renamed it 'bran'. I suppose it's a nice change from renaming programs as 'adkdkbhdigeeppt' etc.
I wonder what will happen if he renames them all bran?

AX
Tired and Drowning and unable to sleep. Honestly can't wait till AX is over this time.
Weird thing of the day, Got a letter of resignation from friend who did 255 bucks worth of Disc burning for us.
Couldn't they just say, we don't want to do this anymore, it's not cost effective for us?

Costuming
Ok. I guess it means I'm officially a costumer, when I spend 465 bucks on fabric etc, because I have orders.
Going to have sewing on the brain. Thank goodness for summer. :)

Gamex
A lot of fun. Not so profitable short term, but we have gained many orders from it. Looks like long term it was a good decision. :)
Hopefully, we'll have enough orders in the mean time to be able to get tables again for next show.

Crunch Time
Well, school is over. Of course, we also realized a few days ago that OMG! Gamex is on the holiday weekend. Aieeee! So, with only Four more days before setup day, we are panicing at the last minute. Projects which were put away a month ago are being dragged out.
We still have no kitchen countertops, and my husband is currently using an old dog grooming table and the ironing board to do most of his work on. But, the good news is that most of the rest of the kitchen is finished. I can call my dad and say please daddy, we need a week off or I may lose my sanity. I love you. He has been such a great help, we could have not done it without him.
First major obstacle conquered. There was a miscommunication with my art disks I was contracting out, but the problem is being fixed. Johhnice saved me! This has however tought me, that I need to save up for a computer that I can do this work on myself, and a proper printer.
Now, For a bit of deep thought. I decided last minute that my son was being too bossy and needed to go to meditation, temple, and Dharma school again. We made it... and my husband and I were very glad we went. One part of the guest speaker's story was about his experiences with learning to recognize the Amida in people. That enlightened compassion that everyone is capable of. One of his stories was about how his son was pulling his hair one morning, and it turned out he was trying to lift daddy's head to put a pillow under it. Another was about his mother and how she died very slowly, and to the end always said do your best, and be careful. It's hard to really get across what he put so well, but basically it was something I felt. I try to see that compassion, divine spark, whatever you would like to call it inside everyone. When I lose a friend/loved one, I still hear their voice in my head with those words of compassion they gave me during our time together. I hope to live a life where I have shown that I deserve the compassion others show me, and I hope to remember not to dwell on the temporary pain caused by anyone.

Thanks
Just a thankyou to everyone who has picked me up when I'm down, talked to me when I was lonely, showed me respect when I wasn't being very respectful, and was kind when I realized my mistakes.
Beardancing helped me realize how much I've been through and how far I've come during my darkest days of the last four years.
Now that I'm finding stability and light again, I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who helped me come through what were some very challenging times.
It took me having someone tell me I was making them suicidal, in an attempt to either upset me or ssatisfy some urging of theirs to truly admit how hard life had become for me and just how difficult it was to go on at times.
Loss of friends and family, and having to accept a complete change in my personal identity has taught me to treasure the moments of life both good and bad.

I wish I was a mage who could create time
That's right. School, working out the kid's stuff, getting ready for the convention, and NOW I went and ordered a new kitchen. Well, it had to happen sooner or later. So we're going to be packing up the kitchen stuff this week, and Rod will be able to attack it with a sledge hammer. :D
Hoping it all works out.

Apprehensions
So I'm having one of those moments. The, "why am I doing this?" Moment.
Why am I putting the extra work into trying to staff on a Mu* right now, and trying to play a PC who is in charge of some things?
Why am I putting money into booth space at conventions, when I have a child to take care of?
I know that the MU* is because I have a lot of friends on there, and also I enjoy helping facilitate RP. I will however, have to monitor my time.
As for the conventions, well... we are doing more business this year. Most of the apprehension is tightness of funds. Right now, they're just lacking and I see all the things in my home that need to finish. And how I need to pay for pre-school for my son next month. I need a new kitchen! It's literally falling apart. It is four years older than I am after all.
So I suppose part of this might be a need to ask for money from those who owe me for their share of the booth.
Another part, is to just not allow anyone else to send stuff with me to sell for them.
Then, stick to the plan. Don't let the husband oooo over fabric we don't need for the costumes we are currently working on! Oi. It just adds up in a hurry, and then I find. Woops. It's going in the closet for a while cause I don't have the time to mess with it.
Well. The good that came out of today,...
I was able to talk about the money with my husband. My parents fought so much about money when we were children that I automatically react to the subject as though it is an instant indicator of violent arguing. I literally feel my pulse rise and my breathing tense. But,... I got through it. It was hard, but I tried not to do it in an accusitory or avoiding manner.
And once it was all over? He said that ok, he will have to put some of the dog money from saturday into the bank. It was... so easy.
Yes. I've learned, that smoothing things over doesn't get rid of the problem. It just lets it stew. Approaching the problem lets it out, and sometimes... the problem isn't as big as we thought it was.

Woot!
Yeah. A lot of creative energy flowing. It means I'm doing my school project in bits and pieces. But... luckily we're supposed to talk about ourselves. Because of the creative flow I'm giong to take this painting and use it as part of my 4 minute talking about myself bit.
Bah. I'm an unpaid account, otherwise I'd post the one I just did for my mom. I have to brag... In the picture the wings come out looking like I used irridescents, and in one of the images they look like they're freakin popping off the page!
Ok. So I must asses what I did, and learn how to do it frequently.
Hope it won't be those once in a lifetime things. ;)

Togetherness
So my husband and I, we're sitting in the parenting class, and came to a point where we just stuck our chairs right next to each other, and began to whisper our strategy, while letting the rest of the group go off in their own world and talk.
Yes. Run on, sentence structure bad. Bite me, spank me, tell me you love me. I'm happy either way. :)
When we returned home and our son was tucked into bed my husband quietly thanked me in the living room, for being an intelligent person.
It made me all mooooshy to hear that! So anyway, we have 6 more weeks. There have been many things we've learned which have been helpful, and I'm sure there will be many more.
Today just sort of stank in the learning department. Ignoring was what we were learning to do today.
Ok, I can ignore Bran when he says, "Blah! I'm a Baby! Blah!" But... I've attempted ignoring in the past, and been repeatedly told it's what works. With Bran, it doesn't. He will escalate, and get in your face. Does he whine? No. He says things like. "Hey. Don't you talk to me like that Sir. It's not polite. I don't want to hear it right now." When he doesn't get his way.
Definitely a different can of beans.

Lace, satin, and beads
Well. I was going to sell my wedding dress. It's going to take a lot of work to fit into it again, and since I likely will not be having anymore children, I'm not going to have a girl. It would surprise me if my son married a 5 foot tall woman, with a taste for a huge gown with a full skirt, long train, lots of fancy beading and antique looking lace with a high collar.
But when I took it out of the box it had been in, I realized why a lot of women hang onto their dress for a long time. When you pull it out, the feel and the look. It sort of physically takes your mind back to a time when the relationship was fresh, and still in that full swing of new love.
It's a good thing. When you've been together for 10 years, you start to get used to one another. Sometimes you forget that finding falling asleep together to be more intimate than hot passionate sex just means you're truly bonded together with time. And the dress reminds you why you fell in love in the first place. :)

Fun and not so fun
You are Form 9, Vampire: The Undying.
"And The Vampire was all that remained on
the blood drowned creation. She attempted to
regrow life from the dead. But as she was
about to give the breath of life, she was
consumed in the flame of The Phoenix and the
cycle began again."
Some examples of the Vampire Form are Hades (Greek)
and Isis (Egyptian).
The Vampire is associated with the concept of
death, the number 9, and the element of fire.
Her sign is the eclipsed moon.
As a member of Form 9, you are a very realistic
individual. You may be a little idealistic,
but you are very grounded and down to earth.
You realize that not everything lasts, but
you savor every minute of the good times.
While you may sometimes find yourself lonely,
you have strong ties with people that will
never be broken. Vampires are the best
friends to have because they are sensible.
Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Terribly amusing.
As for the not so fun, Great Grandma is ill and they're not sure she'll make it.
I believe it's been more than Seven years worth of constant deaths of loved ones. Hopefully, this will cease for a while. Soon.

Too funny!
Well, It's sort of hard to get fired from being a wife and mother. At least I don't see any signs of it. But it was amusing anyway.
