Hang ups

 Success! first thing in the morning - DMV- no line - no waiting -no fuss.  I got the lady to smile (no easy feat).  She "is all the height and weight information the same?" Me: "yes"  I check it quickly- Me: "oh, ah, no that 110 is more like 120" Me: "Kansas can be cruel to a girl" She: [smile]  But no laugh.


Dad report: so I don't know what happened today.  But I have a good guess.  I called him via Skype.  We were talking - my alarm went off (reminding me to call him) - and glitched out Skype.  When I tried to call him back it was busy. And has remained so all day.  My assumption is that he didn't get the phone receiver hung up right.  I am hoping this gets corrected by tomorrow. Otherwise I guess I will have to try and reach someone there to go and fix it.  In any case after like a bazillion attempts and a lot of anxiety -- I stopped calling.  Poppa - know that I didn't forget about you and that I thought of you all day.

This photo is a bit weird just cuz he's not got his glasses on.





I got to have coffee with the VHM this morning at Prima (aka La Prima Tazza) - it was a lovely, soon to be awfully hot for Oct, day with a nice breeze.

The day got off to a pretty good start - but I did falter overall in my productivity for the vast majority of my day.  Oh, I got work done. Nothing spectacular.


The next big thing:

Work on logo, and “tag line”[the VHM is working on this - but so far, well, um...he's not getting too far]

Work on bio

Take better pictures of product

[I still need to do the three above but I skipped em for now in favor of getting the Etsy Store up and running - I can add to and tweek this in the future]

Remind girl to scan in Z's drawing  [Scan complete!]

Get girl to scan in the other 15 drawings [I tried today but apparently she was only up for one...]

WRITE.

Make a list of stuff we'll need for the BizBaz show, start gathering [I guess we don't find out what space we have until November, which makes it harder to plan]

Set up Z's card
Send Z proposal
Call up Merc and make appt. to show cards.
Send email to MADE now that Etsy shop is up
Add back in cards which were purchased (yes our first ETSY sale was to my friend Sharon - does that count?)
Change watermarks on cards 
Contact WHCC about possible discount on fewer cards. 



Well tomorrow's Wednesday - so hopefully that will enable me to knock out a bunch of stuff on the list.  I am going to try really hard and not do laundry. 


New Feature! Tomorrow night's good eats: Potato and Leek soup   It's not really cold enough for this - imho - but the weather didn't cooperate with the groceries I bought/menus I planned.  Maybe I will try and find something else to do with potatoes and leeks. 

[note about new features - sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't; the ones I don't I stop doing]

Random Photo of the Day:


 So I almost cheated again - cuz this one is so blurry and the one two over was really nice -but it's supposed to be random. So the girl - before the transformation - May 2008

I kinda like it.

Fears and Anxieties: It's a busy week - and that causes me a certain amount of anxiety in it of itself.  I push too hard sometimes rather than just enjoying what is happening right at this moment.  I had a brief bout of "hormonal crazies" this evening -- hate that I still can't control that shite.  The zombie walk is in 2 nights. I was looking forward to it but the VHM says he doesn't want to go.  I don't want to go without him.  This always reminds me that I have no friends here. This spirals me into sadness. ok. enough.

I posted a link on facebook earlier today, along with the link I said "Let your voice be heard"
The girl posted "^just read that as 'let you grow a beard'.   <<<I loved this. And love when things get misread or misheard.  In celebration of this moment:

Though truthfully -I have mixed feelings about beards.  Do tend to like more clean cut beards.  And really when I think about it - I like or dislike the people, not the beards.
