Well we cleaned all day yesterday and the top floor of the house is spotless, ok we still need to do the first floor but that can wait a day or so. We are headed out the door right now to go to Brian's grandparents. Then I have a whole list of stuff I need to get done today.
Have a great day.

Pretty busy today,, I paid all the bills. Was hoping to have some sump stuff but it broke in the kiln :( The bead kiln is heating up and I want to make some beads before it gets to late. Why do I still not have enough time to get done what I want to in a day?????? Going to give True link a call about the broken pickets that should be fun. I have some new beads going up on ebay today Emerald Vortex
Have a great friday

Nose is still runny and haven't done walk away the pounds in two day so I need to do that. I missed last weeks chat about the Artists Way,, this chapter is about money and how you don't need to be a starving artist,, I like that idea. I have a message tomorrow night and boy do I need it. Erin has been at Rob's this last week, don't have any idea what she is doing. But I have a lot to be happy about and I am going to concentrate on that right now. Have a great day.

It is a good thing we are getting money back from the taxes as we had to replace the sump pump last night. We really can't complain as we haven't had to replace anything in the house since we moved in 8 years ago. Knock on wood. I have a hair appointment this morning, since that horrible hair cut I got 3 years ago I have been trying to get it back to where it was. My hair grows soooooo slow is it painful. Hopfully this will be the last fixing cut and then it can just grow. Going to get the van washed today, the salt is killing the finish. And then to the studio for the rest of the day. Still reading the second of the Key trilogys from Nora. I hope the third one is better :) this one is kinda slow moving. Cool thing for today is my e-bay auction self promotion is a good this and I have the Ladder of Lights up right now take a look.

Morning ,, happy Friday!! Now that I work from home that has less joy connected with it. My work week doesn't end on Friday anymore. This is the last day of the no reading task, I am really hating it. I suppose it has it's place if you use reading to get out of doing art for some reason, I don't do that. I have a very structured day and this has totally thrown it off completely. I am giving myself a hot oil treatment for my hair this morning. I don't know if it age or what but my hair has really sucked lately. Dry and frizzy, hope this helps. Need to pack up some eBay beads and balance my check books today. I just found out that Elmhurst is going to be doing a French Market, very close to me YEAH today's cool thing is Vegetarians a lot of great info

I have tons of stuff to get done today. My next show is in 17 days , after I get my stuff made I am going to hit all the new age shops in this area and see if they want to carry my line. I have had pretty good success with this in the past. Went to Borders yesterday and looked at a couple of books on Dreamweaver MX. The best one I found was this one but is almost 30 bucks so I looked and found it on the web for 16 dollars. Watch out web page design here I come lol. Only kidding Dave. I would like to be able to change small thing when I need to though. I am going on my Artist Date today. I have some magazines that I am going to cut out ideas from and put them on 3x5 cards. I haven't done this in a while ,,fun some new ideas. Ok I am off to do the walking DVD and clean beads to put on the bay. Todays cool thing is Chakras.

Early again you say.. It's this no reading task I have to do. I have a ritual in the morning that included alot of reading. The paper, my daily reader, cards. My whole morning is off now, and besides Erin has to be dropped off at work by 9:45 this morning. I am coming back and doing the walking DVD, clean some beads and then I am off to the library to get a book on Dreamweaver. As you can see there are still no PMC pictures or fused earring picture. I am not giving up. I just the version of blog I am using doesn't let you do the picture thing..
cool thing today is cool quotes

I did some new earring last night with fused glass, if I can figure out how to post them here I will , maybe you will get to see the PMC stuff too ,,don't hold your breath lol. Need to get my walking in before I go so this is going to be short.

Good Morning, I am up and about to leave earlier than I probably will be at any time you read this blog. The task this week in the Artist Way Book is reading deprivation, no reading. Ok I am allowed to read that book :D. The book says that artist use reading as a mini tranquilizer, this is going to be hard. You only have to do it for one week so I can handle that. Today is Imbolc, I am a solitary witch for you that don't know me very well. Today we set in to motion the thing we wish to come about for the coming year. I am still doing the walking tape, today cool thing is another tool in getting into the best shape you can. Fit day have a great day
