I Got a New Laptop!!

LE and Jonathan always call theirs their "lappies" so I found myself calling mine that as well....at first. Then I started carrying it around and stuff, now I call it Lapzilla. It is a 17in screen and weighs almost 9lbs. I have taken it to work a couple times and played a bit of WOW. Very dangerous.

Christmas was fun. LE and Jon came up and Donn came down. Donn was here for 10 days! It was nice, but there is just no room in my room or bed for 2. More exciting than my laptop is the gift Donn got me. He bought me a beautiful diamond ring that fits perfectly against my engagement ring. When I get it back from sizing I will post a picture. The sweetest thing is that he said "this is the ring I would have gotten you when we got married if I had had the money" Awhhh. That was so great! We all went to the movies which was fun. Donn and I went to the Spyglass Inn the Friday before Christmas which was very relaxing. The sun was just setting in the ocean when we arrived ...very pretty. The next day we went to the Pelican Bar and Grill for lunch. The pelicans flew so close you could make out all their markings. That was very cool and the food was delicious!! All in all it was a great holiday!

Today is the last day of 2006. I have no plans except to maybe play some WOW all night and hope to see Donn there for some virtual celebration. LE and Jon got us headphone things so we can talk over the internet as we play. I cannot wait to try it out. I downloaded all the stuff today and I am just waiting for Donn to do the same.

I am hoping to blog more now that I have Lapzilla. I guess I should start thinking of new years resolutions, but I want to nap first'

Later

Thanks to LE!!

Here is my new mount!! An early Christmas gift from my Sister! He is so cute!! And fast...no more running everywhere on foot for me! Ha Ha I got to level 40 just in time! Donn will be here Wed night. It should be nice to have a man again :) I better get to sleep...it is late and I have to work early.

I am a Zombie

The christmas show is over and I am drained. I went to Shasta for over a week for Thanksgiving and just took it easy. I had all these little projects I wanted to do, but got to none of it. Now with all the Christmas errands, I come home drained of all enthusiasm to get anything done. I am still enjoyng WOW as a way to escape. Meetoo is only 3 levels away from getting a mount. I will get a big cat to ride that looks like Willy! I am hoppng to get there by January, but I am sure I will not make it. Donn will be comming here for the end of Dec.! He will probably keep me from playing that whole time due to him wanting to play his own charactor. His 2 main toons are named after beer...HA HA HA. I guess it is better than the toon I made named Troiee. His are Spaten and Peroni. I have been craving drawing and I have the True Color II Journal due, but I am so drained that nothing comes out right. I think I need a little more of a break. Speaking of which...I am exhausted.
Nite!

Snow in Shasta

Thanksgiving break in Shasta BRRRRRR.

Nurse Jill

Happy Halloween!

Oh Man!

Only one more month before the show and I do not have enough started. I got some stuff started today and looked at what I had half done from before. This show will be a touch skimpy as far as my work is concerned. I was hoping to get some journals made, but I think I should get the jewelry done first.

This was the green and copper True Colors 2 journal I had a while back. A bad self portrait and my cat Willy. I have not seen the next journal in over a month. I do not even know what color it will be. I did get my second 1001 Journals journal and just sent that out today after having it for a week. Nothing worth posting here...it just looks like my regular journal with lots of writting and doodles. I have to finish some ATCs this weekend for our trade. I will be doing white ink on black cards of skulls for a Halloween theme.



These are two of three necklaces that Immagine Gallery bought. I have two more in the works and two that are little song birds. The song birds will go into the show. I better go so I can get some game playing in.

Alright..Here We Go..

I got a little set back by the trip and a migraine yesterday, but I need to get going. I have Kick Boxing tonight, dinner, then I need to FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!! I should start by cleaning off my desk and getting an order together. Only if I finish will I go onto WOW, otherwise I will have to punish myself by not allowing myself to go onto the site. I also need to scan a bunch of stuff and put some stuff on my blog and some on my groups. I better go get some lunch so I will have enough energy to do that workout. You will know if I did well by what I post next and when. My head hurts again with all the pressure.

Okay, Back to Reality...Mostly

It is now time (past time really) to start on some major projects for the Christmas show coming up in November. I am finding it hard to get ideas. I will try and start by finishing up some old projects and doing some sketches. It is hard because working on the old stuff makes me a bit frustrated. I am not as excited about the old stuff and it always feels like a step in the wrong direction. I need to go through some of my idea books and notes too. I sat down last night to draw some ideas, but nothing came out. I need to order some new tools with my gift certificate. Maybe I will think of some new stuff while ordering. Some doming plates will be good. I will have to take an hour or two away from World of Warcraft time. I have not done that many sketches lately either and I know it would cheer me up to set some time aside for that. Some quality Studio time would not hurt either. I need to pick up the pace. I am off to Sac this weekend so that kind of kills the momentum, but hopefully I will get it back.
Back to work now, lunch is over.

World of Warcraft Breakdown

Cyrruss is my first World of Warcraft Character (a warior) that I started at Le and Jon's place in August. We are a little cow unit in Tanaris. Jon is a cow named Ah and LE is a cow named Oh. They are both majic users. This got me soooo hooked I could barely wait to get back home and start an account.




Then there is the Ork, Rumpljillski. It was going to be Rumpljillskin (one of Donn's nicknames for me from a long time ago) but it was too long. She is established in Anvilmar where Donn was an Ork as well named Deermountain. We try to group up together to level up faster, but he is such a nubie that it has taken forever. He also does not usually play at the same time I do so it has been real slow with those two. It should work well because he is a warior and I am a hunter. Oh well...To pick up the slack I created a few more characters.




Meetoo was originally created so I could communicate with LE and Jon and their regular group of characters, the most of which are in Cenarius, but now he is at level 17! That is my highest level guy. Another warior and my only "good guy" because he is a Knight Elf. I paired up with a few people I bumped into there on Labor day weekend and we kicked some ass! Jon has a rogue in that area that is level 19 that helped me out a lot as well. So much fun! I will work on him some more tonight. I have some sirens to kill and some mushrooms to pick with that guy.




Last, but not least is my Troll Hunter Kittsky. She is level 12 right now and has a pet boar named the boarinator. I would rather a tiger, but he was the highest level beast in the area at the time. I would dismiss him, but after a couple battles together, I have grown a bit attached. I have revived him 2-3 times already. I mean..how can I dismiss an animal that has given his life for me a few times already? Sure he is old and splotchy and smelly, But at least he doesn't attract flies, like those nasty centars.

As you can see I am getting seriously obsessed. I find it so saticfying tho and it really makes a crapy day at work just disappear. I better get some jewelry work done now so I can justify another night of W.O.W..
LLLLLAAaAAterRRrR!!!!!!!!!....

Some Sketches

Here are some sketches I did While I was in Monterey, and one of 4 I did while comming home on highway 1 in the center. This is my new sketchbook that is also a journal that I carry in my purse at all times. It takes ink and watercolor real well and only cost me 6.50. It is made by Pentalic.

Another Great Weekend!!

I just got back from visiting my sister and her husband down in LA. SOooOOooOoo much fun! I am now working on an addiction to World of Warcraft. I am really going to have to budget my time now :) My sis took me to all these great places I had always wanted to go. GR2, GReats, and just GR, all of which were so cool!! I was very good not to buy everything in sight (because you know I wanted to). The food at GReats was very unique, and tasted amazing too. Who would have thought that frenchfries, yams and BANANAS would all taste so good together (there could have been more bananas..those were surprisingly tasty). And the burger was yummy. We went to a Japanese market after that and found lots of goodies. As if all that was not enough, we all got gussied-up and went to Hollywood to a place called the Geisha House for dinner. WOW! I cannot describe how cool that was, you will have to find their site. We then topped the whole thing off with a movie at the Arclight theater. LE was hot to see The Illusionist. It was a very good movie. The way it was filmed really set a mood. The score was perfect for the movie and LE said they used some sort of old style filming process which was subtle, but put a perfect visual effect to match the essence of the movie. If only we did not require sleep. I say that because it was so fun to play World of Warcraft with LE and Jon...with our cute posey of Taurens (cows). I have purchased my own game and I am working on getting it started right now, but it is already so late so I will probably have to do the trial run tomorrow :( Well I better get ready for bed...Nite!

The Geisha House

I Had a Nice Weekend

Thursday after work I drove to Monterey to meet up with Donn for our 4 year wedding anniversary. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Friday and just hung out in Monterey Saturday. Sunday we went to breakfast and parted ways. I miss him a lot. For Sunday's drive back, I decided to take Hiway 1 all the way. I stopped many times to take photos or do a sketch. I ate at Nepenthe (photo in "View" entry) and browsed the phoenix shop. Lots of great jewelry there. All the views were so beautiful! I ended the trip with my last bit of money at Haufragh's (not spelled right) in Morro Bay for a beef dip sandwich. This weekend I plan on seeing my sister in LA, that should be a blast!! I better finish my project I am working on and get to bed. I am exhausted!!

Heat Wave Finally Over, For Now

The temperature is finally livable in my room again. There was a period where I did not even want to turn on my computer in fear of it overheating. I am almost done with the Copper and Green True Colors II journal. Maybe one more night on it. I have to do some scanning this weekend. Tomorrow is Santa Barbara's Fiesta! They let us out half day from work to enjoy the festivities. I am really looking foreword to it, but do not want to stay out too late. I want to do something fun this weekend, but I do not know what yet. I hope to workout a bit. I have been good, but I have some catching up to do from when I was in Shasta. I want to loose more around my belly and upper thigh. Who doesn't though:) Only 11 pages left in my journal I carry in my purse. I cannot decide on which one will be my next one. I am liking the doodling mixed in with the life sketches and the "diary"-like entries. This one might set a precedent for the rest. I would like to get in a few more pasted and acrylic-ed pages. I am always wanted more color too. I need to get these jewelry pieces done. I feel I have been working on them way too long (procrastinating yet again) That is something I should work on this weekend, even if it is just a little bit. Maybe that is something I could go to the beach to work on. And my tan ;) I better get to bed. Toodles!

Trip to Getty and a Dodger Game

Went to The Getty for a sketchcrawl, but could not find anyone. That place is huge! So pretty and only cost $7. Amazing! Too hot though, but so was ... everywhere. I hope everyone posts their work since I was not able to meet up. I had never been there before and cannot wait to go back ... when it is cooler.

Went to my sister and her husband's new place and dipped in her pool after the Getty then we all went to a Dodger Game. It was 98 at the game and the Dodgers lost. It was fun though, and it did cool off towards the end.

Wow Has it been hot. I am not sleeping well at all. It is going on 3 weeks straight now! Enough already! The whole country is too hot. Man I wish I had AC. It is late and I have work tomorrow so I better at least try to sleep before then. It is now 87 in my room.

Mount Shasta

Just got back from Shasta, but I have been working so much, I have not caught my breath yet. I better get to bed it is late.

Zebra is Done!

ALLRIGHT...i FINISHED THE bLACK, wHITE, AND oNE cOLOR jOURNAL!!!!!The paper was black so I used white ink with a dip pen to draw all the white stripes (took me a total of like 5 hours just to do that part). I will post a detail later so you can see what I mean. I hope Toni likes it, it is not like any of the other entries. I better get off to bed now.

Procrastinating..Or is it Just too Hot

I was hopping to have the TC II Journal done and sent by today, but did not plan for its large size. The spread is like 24" by 12". I have started my Zebra, But I am not quite halfway done. I will work on it today and hope to finish it. I am off to Dinosaur Caves with Mom tomorrow. I hope to do some sketching and some tanning. We might go to Nacho Libre in Santa Maria after that, on the way home. Monday at work will be totally crazy!! I am sure it will be a late night and very hard to get a lunch. We have been spoiled by our savior, Nancy being in town for the las few weeks and helping us out. It will be an adjustment now that she is back in Oaklahoma. Then The 4th of July I have a bit of work to do and the I am off to Shasta! Donn is bummed I will not be there 'till later that night, but I am not going because of the holiday, I am going to see him. Oh well. I am hopping the trip goes well, it will be a lot of driving in the heat and a lot of $$$ in the gas tank. I hope to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean wile I am up there. I just joined the new 1001 Journals. I hope to get some journals to work on. I think I will make a couple to put in coffee shops in SB. I hear they are always stollen. If that is the case I hope to get some scans or photos in before that happens. Maybe I should get one ready for the next ATC swap at Good Cup in SB. I better get cracking on some ATCs too. That is comming up! Well it is noe 78 in my room so maybe I will go to the studio and get to work. It should still be somewhat cool in there. Started a game called Paradise. I will play somemore tonight. It is a bit teadious but the effects and backgrounds are cool. Keep Cool!!

Here are Some Sketches

I have been wanting to post these sketches, but had to wait for the DSL. I will post a photo of the Black, White and One other color True Colors II Journal page when I finish it. So far I have the image traced onto the pages. The pages are almost 12" by 12" and I am doing a spread so it is a large order to fill.
I have some more sketches that I will post later. The top one is my favorite.

Here are some new ATCs

These are the ones I made with my new jewelry templates for the SB ATC trade group.

I H A V E D S L A G A I N ! ! ! ! ! !

F I N A L L Y !!!!! Okay...now I have a lot of scanning and a few big photo posts to make. It is very hot in my room right now, so I think I will go get some icecream before begining this large task. I also got my next True Color 2 Journal. I need to figure out what I will do in it tonight and get it started tomorrow. Mom is off at FiberFest in Washington and Dad is in Roswell New Mexico for a new beattle meet. Sounds like they are both having a ton of fun. I cannot wait to hear all the stories.

It was a nice beach day. just might just have to go tomorrow too.

Too Bad I Cannot post Photos right now

I finished some real cool ATCs last night using my jewelry templates I cut for the crow necklaces. I will scan them tonight, but I will not be able to show them here until my computer get DSL again(still crossing fingers). I am still tired, but I am still being good about working out. I wish working out was not such a time sucker though. It is usually 8 PM before I am done with getting home, working out and eating dinner. On top of that, it can take about 1 hour to get the juices flowing and the art rolling. Anyway... I better get some lunch before my break is done. LATERRR

Still No DSL

I am blogging from work today so again, no photos. I have to get some ATCs done for the monthly trade this Wed. and I have 3 crow necklaces 1/4 of the done. I also want to work out and go to dinner with the folks. Maybe I will have to miss dinner. I am so tired right now that I cannot imagine I could get any of it done. Well my patient just showed up, so I better clock in and get back to work.

DSL Still Down

Ever since I have moved, my DSL has been "pending" I waited 3 weeks and nothing. After hours of haggling now I have to wait another three weeks. The weird thing is that they will be sending me a new modem. That will be the 3rd they have sent me!? Getting mad has gotten me no where. The madder I got the bigger the lies and promises given by the operators got. SOOO LAME!!!!! I have like 70 e-mails and my phone or my mom's computer is the only way I can view them. I cannot do any downloads or updates for my computer and it sucks. They better get it right this time!!! I will not know until June 26th. I am crossing my fingers, but I am afraid I am jinxed or something. And to top it off...I cannot use my computer at work because it is never available. Today it was available, but the internet connection was on the fritz...typical! I better get back to my jewelry...sorry, no pictures until the DSL works.

Back Again

I goofed off most of yesterday and yes, I deserved it! It was the first time in a long while. I just had a few naps and watched some TV. I pet my cat a lot and played a computer game too. So today I need to make up a bit for the lost time. I have a myriad of things I should do...making jewelry is at the top of the list. I will have a chance to get some jewelry into Imagine Gallery again..maybe, I need to get ready for a class I will be teaching on making a necklace, laundry, sort thru some boxes, and get my coputer situation organized. I still do not have DSL. I am suppossed to have it this Tue.. That is 1 whole month I have been without it and it has sucked!! I will be able to post some pictures again when it is up. I should work on some ATC today too. I am hoping to find out by June 10th if our yearly big artshow will be at Elverhoy Gallery or at the Ballard house again so I can advertise at the class. I have started work on a couple things already and I need to pick up the pace. I have NO inventory and will be in a lot of trouble down the road if I do not start building that up! I should alo get to my new jewelry studio (area) and get it ready to run. Well lets hope the allergy medicine does not bog me down 'cause I gots a lot of work to do. TGI-3 day weekend!!

I Moved

Now I just have to get the appartment cleanned. A new deadline of the 10th. I am just going to make it. Of course I could have not done any of this without all the help from my Mom and Dad. Wow do I owe them big time! I have been on my feet way too long and they are killing me! I better go...I have to be at work 30 min. early. Blech!!

Packing Packing Packing and Working

I am exhausted!!! My mind is scrambled. It is very hard to pack at night and work durring the day. It might not be so bad if my job was easy, but it is not. We are gearing up for the summer season. I am tying to be good and stay in shape too, which I should just put on hold 'til I am done with moving, but I really want to loose weight darn it! So I work all day, run errands, drive home(40min), eat, go to the gym, come home and pack, shower then bed....YUCK! No wonder I cannot sleep. Anyway.... art is on hold for a bit, but then I plan to SPLURGE!! with art that is. One and a half more weeks and it will be a done deal. I better get back to what ever I was doing...I don't even know where I am right now.

bird ATC

The first 10 times uploading did not work. This was the winning try.

Here is the photo with me on St. Ptricks Day with that green beer.
-----------------------------------------> I am also posting the ATCs I said I would post with the birds. I might have said this before, I am on a real bird and branch kick. As for what I am up to...let me just say that MOVING SUCKS!! I could go into details, but I will spare you. Speaking of which...I need to get back to the packing, sorting and getting rid of. BYE!

My poor car!

Let's Try and Recap

It has been a long time since I have blogged. I am moving at the end of this month so all is a bit crazy and I do not get on the computer much. I finished and sent of the true colors II book (the bird) that was a fun one and I sent it off early. I went to an art class in Santa Anna wich was fun. I made a long and narrow journal. It is sewn together but not finished. I learned some new techniques in acrylic. I went to see Donn. We met in Oakland and got free passes to Great America. The Invertago (behind Donn's head) was the BEST ride!! So scary! But the bumper cars with our large group was really fun. Next time I see Donn it will be amoungst total chaos and stress: i.e. THE MOVE. Crazy!
I went to an opening at UCSB for the journals of Dan Eldon. That was really neat to see then in person and hear his mom speak and see all his friends he had photoed in his journals, but I sometimes forget how snotty Santa Barbarians can be. I will have to go back with mom sometime and get a better look. This was one of the journals. I would post the green beer and my last ATCs but I am logged into the wrong part of my computer.
My car got hit by a rock on the way home from seeing Eldon's show :( It luckily only took out half of one headlight. My high beems and day lights do not work, only the regular headlights. I hope to get that fixed soon. Well I better get off to the gym, check on an item in Solvang and then get back to cleaning, sorting and packing. Way too much to do!!

St Patrick's Day

Had a great time this year for St. Patricks Day. Finally had my green beer! I dreamed about it ever since I turned 21, and it finally happened. It was not how I pictured it though. I always imagined a frosty mug with green beer with a big, green foamy head on it. I will post the picture later. Last year was nice too (Ithink it was last year). I went to the Mercury Lounge and drank a few guiness in which the bar tender poured a clover design into its head. Very classy. There was also a pot luck on the pool table, a real intimate homey feeling. Donn went to the billy goat and drank guiness and harp all night. We both had fun. I am off to get my cornedbeef and potatoes (do not like cabbage too much) Later

scetchcrawl downtown LA

It is fun to work on colored paper with white water color paint. So much fun! I did start sewing that purse. It is smaller that I thought it was going to be. Maybe next time I will have to alter the pattern. I always wanted a cool artsy purse and now it is halk way made! Next will be to finish that and get onto the jewelry. I also want to work in one of my journals and add birds like the ones I made for the ATC SB trade. I will post those later. Still feel overwhelmed with all the stuff I want to do. I will either have to get more efficient with my time or learn to live with this feeling. Bye
