Doing Good but Still Behind

I have been working out more and getting a bit of art done, nothing finished though. The new Cappuccino True Colors II journal still needs a lot of work and It is due Wed.. I will not have it done by then. Also Wed., I am in an ATC live swap and I only have 4 done :( I will try to do a couple tonight. I still have not gotten any of the jewelry done that I needed to get done by the end of Dec. (big sigh) I do not feel like I can get to my desk to accomplish anything. I had plans to get some stuff done tonight, but I just got back from the gym at 9pm and it is now 9:30. I did not get enough sleep last night and need to shower. I should just go to bed right now. I need just one or two more hours in a day to finish stuff. Tommorow is not looking good either. My sched. at work goes until 5:20 and then I will pick up Donn, drive him to his car, pick up side dishes for dinner, make dinner, and then do art? Oh boy. I am afraid I will be cleaning and helping Donn pack all next weekend. Geeez Where is the ME time? Well, now I exhausted myself... Shower and Bed it is! Late...

Guiness at the mercury. I love the way they put a "M" in the head. She puts a 4 leaf clover for St. Patricks day.

Another Weekend Approaches

Last weekend went well, but I do not feel rested. I swear if is not one thing... Anyway, back to a bit of kaos. Donn will be moving to Shasta in March sometime, I will stay behind. I am only thinking possitive things. This could be just what Donn and I need to get back on track. I am going to get a lot accomplished.
Enough of all that, back to the nearer future. Donn and I are going to Jalama beach this Sat. We are looking foreward to it. I cannot believe he has never been. I am sooo looking foreward to a Jalama Burger! More packing and cleaning this weekend. Donn might add some stuff to his car at my parent's house. I hope to work on his ring some more and get some ATCs done. We should be getting DSL set up tonight too. I am hoping for some good sleeping in time too. I hope Anna's job interview went well. They would be fools not to hire her!! It was very good to see her, I will prob. be able to visit her more after March, that will be nice.
Well Thur. is half gone and so is my lunch time.

The Longhorn

That was mom at the Longhorn. I am not sure if you can see her pencil thin mustache(a string). She looked very french and it called for a photo and a post.

Mom@ the ritz(the longhorn)

OK, Life change is on hold..waiting for further notice

Doing good. Daylight is lasting longer which puts me in a better mood. I have lots of plans for tomorrow, lets see how far I get before running out of steam. I have given myself a schedule to go by, we will see if that helps. Anna shuld be here this weekend. I am looking foreward to that. I am feeling inspired again (probably due to all the house work I need to do). My dryer has died so I will be making a few trips to Mom's house. Donn has re-arranged the front room. It is cozy, I am getting used to it. It will be nicer when all the boxes are gone. We are trying to box up or get rid of all the clutter in the house. Donn will move some of it up to his house and/or storrage to free up our lives a bit. It is hard to do with both of us in the house, so I have a lot to do tomorrow and the rest will have to get done on the weekend with him there. I am already starting to get worn out just thinking about it. I will let you know if anything got done.

Here it is...2006

I did not finish my goals for December...oh well. I did not think of any new year resolutions, but it looks like I will have a major life change coming up soon and I have lots of plans which sound a lot like resolutions. I will be able to work out more, I am hopping to get more art work done, and spend more time with my parents (haha inside joke). I will have extreme stress for a month or so, then some calm (hopefully if everything at work goes well) and then...well that all depends on money and stuff. I am sure it will all work out like it is supposed to, I just hope I do not go insane in the process. Happy New Year? It could happen.

Christmas is Over

I just got back from 3 days at the in-laws. Had a good Christmas. It was great to see everyone. It has been a while since I had made it up there (I do not get a lot of time off). Donn is still up there. He went to hang out at our house. I sure wish I could be there with him. I am hoping to make it up there on my one vacation for next year. Now that the holidays are done, I only have a few projects to finish. My computer is about shot though, so I need to call and see if I can breath some more life into it. Donn is getting a new one, but I am sure he will limit my time on it so I want to keep this one going. I received a new Nano I-Pod as a bonus and want to get that up and running. It is killing me to have to wait, but my computer, as is, cannot generate enough memory to open i-tunes. I am hopping I will only have to add a couple RAM chips and all will be well. Cross your fingers for me!! I am also needing to finish the pink and orange true colors II journal by Jan 2nd. Okay...My mind is racing with all the other things that need to get done, so I better stop before the stress sets in again.

Company Chistmas party at the palace. So much fun.

So Crazy

Christmas is 9-10 days away...what now!! I have so many Christmas cards to finish and gifts to make and orders to fill. My silver order has not gotten here yet. It better, or I am in trouble! Work is exhausting. Two crazy clients that I wish lived farther away! I need a vacation. This 3 day stuff just is not going to be enough for me. Same old same old. Oh well. Back to the grind.

Tiara the drink. Out at a club watching Sambadot.

turquoise journal page entry for true colors II 

pink and limegreen true colors II journal cover detail 

Oh My Gosh it is already December!!

The art show went great! I just sent out the next True Colors II journal. Turquoise was the color of this one. I did "turqoise water". I was going to have a mermaid in the center of it, but could not get myself to do something that so many others have already done, so I put a hammerhead shark in the middle instead. I really like the way it came out. I took some pictures and should try and load those up. We will see... I still feel a bit overwhelmed with A couple jewelry orders for Christmas, Christmas cards to make, and gifts to make or buy. Man (sigh) when will there be some me time to just play a few video games and put a model together? I gotta go...Bye

work work work

I finished my true colors II book! I cannot wait to get the next one!! Art show is still looming. My mom will be back from Mexico soon! I did about 10 minutes of jewelry, not bad for working a 10 hour day today at work and expecting another tommorow. Well I better get to bed and rest up for that. G'Nite!

Busy Gal

I am almost done with me "True Colors II" lime green and pink book. I will be sending it off tommorow (I hope). Work is still a bit crazy, especially with one assistant on vacation. Say a little prayer for me for the next two days of work, they will be rough. My mom is in Mexico and probably having a wonderful time (at least I hope). The art show is in two weeks, so it looks like I will have to cut down on my plans again. Only half of the stuff on my list is even close to being done. Maybe I should ask for next Thursday off to catch up? Last time I got Thursday off I got sick and was in bed the entire day. Man I was mad! A whole day gone. Lets see how much I can fit in after work. I might try and stay up late today to get some stuff done. Again, cross your fingers for me!

Another weekend of procrastinating

The light is on at my jewelry desk, but I am not there. I have rearranged my projects a few times, but have decided to check my e-mail. Good thing too...there was an e-mail from an old friend I have not heard from in 2-3 years and Mom sent me a site that had Donn and I laughing until we cried called Stuff on my Cat (http://www.stuffonmycat.com/index.php?blogid=1&startpos=10). It is a must see. The real fat cat with the overalls is the best. Now I must go to my jewelry desk and start making bezels or something. Wish me luck!!

PROCRASTINATION

Okay...Here it is my day to get started on projects for the Christmas Show.....I guess I needed to check e-mail first? The cat wants attention (so hard to resist her). I need to eat breakfast and find some coffee to drink. I need to get music playing. I want to go see mom's class at around 12. It is 10:30 now. Oh the crap that you think of when you have a daunting task in front of you and limited time. T minus your weekend and counting... Okay lets get going already!

Watching the game at zodos

It was such a promising start. The whole bar chearing and yelling for the raiders. Good beer at least. Nov. show starting to wear on me allready. Nothing done yet. This weekend is my kick off. Where to start? What to make? (big sigh)

Weeks lost

It has been over a month now since I have had a chance to turn my computer on. Saying that I have been busy would be an understatement. I have been able to get a couple shots off with my camera phone though. I went on my first cruise in the last week of July (see drink of the day pict). That was sooo fun! I felt so spoiled. I went to Ozzfest a couple weekends ago, and that was great too! Last weekend Donn and I took the Amtrak to San Diego to finally visit my friend Anna. Only took me a couple of years to get the opportunity. That was fun! I so hope I can make that happen more often. I feel like between work and fun I have not been home in a long time. My cat really misses us. My house is overwhelmingly a mess. And to top it all off...November is just around the corner...AAAHHH!!!! So much Jewelry to do and already no time. Hopefully work will settle down and I can actually have time to do something after I get home at night. We will see.
