Well, not really of course but in terms of online time, I may have well been.   As some of you know, my mom has been really sick.  She has been in the ICU and now is in intermidiate care.  That is a step in the right direction, praise God,  but she still has a long way to go.  Before my mom became ill, I had a major pet medical crisis.  Max, thank ( Read more... )

Dear F list,

I have missed you guys.  The last month has been rough so I just have not had the spirit to get on line much.  My kitty has been seriously ill which has been stressing me out significantly. That, combined with serious holiday blues has made me less then joyful.  My kitty is stable and doing ok for now but I have to take him in to ( Read more... )

Dear F-list.  I know I have not been around much lately but the last 2-3 weeks were awful.  I won't go into detail at the moment but I did miss checking in on you all.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas full of family, love, and friends.  And of course good food. :)  I will update more this weekend likely.

OK OK. I know that many of you have probably already heard about this but I just saw the article on my Google News page this AM.

I have  just a little cold but its making me feel kinda crappy.  Normally, I am usually a very healthy person so if i am off by 10% or 20%  from the norm, I feel miserable.  So I am about 10 % off.  Not enough to truly whine but just enough to make me wish I could call my mom and have her tell me all those mom things that make you feel better.   I ( Read more... )

The day started out with a crash.  I was making a smoothie for breakfast which freaked Sam out.  He was on the counter when I turned  on the blender and scrambled into my fake orchid, knocking it to the floor.  I was soo annoyed!.  I liked that fake plant and when it fell, the pot broke into pieces.  So in between working on charts, i was super- ( Read more... )

 sigh sigh. life has been crazy.  My friend who I have worked with for a while now is telling me that between personal life and work life, she may need to quit working for a while.  I am really bummed about this.  It makes me feel so defeated for some reason. Like you start a marathon and collapse before you are half way.  But she has to make the ( Read more... )

Well I guess it is not JUST for them but this is of particular interest I think  to art people. 
When I was last home, I met the coolest guy I have met in a while. He was an art person.  He is from LA and was visiting in Austin.  But anyway, we got to talking and  he told me he was in graphics and animation. In fact, I think he said he works for ( Read more... )

 Hmmm...It has been a long time since I posted to LJ. Part of that is because I have been doing a pretty good job of chatting with my flist via IM or email. :D  But life has been back to warp speed since my wonderful little ilde in Colorado.  I went to NDK and then stayed an extra week to vacation and bond with my friends.  It was a lovely time, ( Read more... )
