*Dances* I can Finally call smc2 my husband. I am one happy happy camper.

Gah! Seven Days Left.
And folks are arriving tomorrow. Time to clean like demons.

Amazing thunder storm last night.  Our apartment faces south west so we didn't see it coming until the edge started passing over. I have never seen the edge of a storm blow in that fast. It was absolutely spectacular to watch this big dark swirling mass of low cloud just eat up the sky and then rip it apart with lightning strike after lightning ( Read more... )

My main monitor is bricked. It suffers from White Screen of Death, a surprisingly common problem among LCD monitors. The good news is, it should be fixable. The bad news is neither Sean nor I are computer savvy enough to open up my monitor and poke around with a soldering iron ourselves, so I have to wait for the weekend so we can bring my monitor ( Read more... )

I've been listening to www.ustream.tv/channel/lartist-at-work on Friday nights. It's great for getting me working on my own stuff. I don't know why but I find that I always work better when talking to or hang around other artists.

Sean and I have been talking a lot about different holiday traditions that our families did when we were young and I was curious to see what everyone else did for the Holidays.
As for me and my family, here are some of the traditions I remember the most.
1.) Santa got cookies and a glass of Sherry rather than milk when I was a kid.
2.) You were ( Read more... )

One of the many things I learned from my mom when it comes to doing anything in the kitchen* is always start your holiday baking early. With that in mind, I decided to make gingerbread cookies. **
Sean heartily agreed. ***
Ingredients were gathered, I dug out the cooking paraphernalia necessary for the task, and printed out the recipe for quick and ( Read more... )

A big big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.

To celebrate Lex Tiff and I went to Starkers to get measured for our corsets. Dianna, the owner and designer is absolutely fantastic. Very open to ideas and very forthright with suggestions. Plus her cats are very sweet ( Read more... )
