Pictures...and memories

Some photo's that I've found....forgotten... *sigh*

Dysfunction...and functioning

The last few weeks have left me realising that, there'll always be a continuous swirl about you, trying to make things far more complicated than necessary.

Never lose sight of what you want and never allow complications to become greedy monsters of your time...
Whether it be 58 year old suicidal depressives, 20-something pathilogical liars or just car washers that can't seem to get around to washing your car in the queue...

Life needs to be about quality...not quantity.
Being a millionaire will not give you simplicity and abundance...

I do not regret a single lesson I have learned these last few weeks...I will dust off my knees and smile...before taking my next step towards my nearest goal.

My day's soundtrack: Monoloog in Stereo by Fokofpolisiekar.

Get your life ;)

Creativity...

I'm having another late Saturday night... and we're not even in the last hours before a market!

I'm struck by inspiration...or that's how it feels at least. Gah!
It's probably just because of this rain... oh the beautiful storm that errupted this evening *sigh*

I made a whole stack of new bracelets today and a new necklace, roughly based on 3 of the necklaces I made for last week's Medieval market...though I know I'm getting more to the point of  "skrew the rest of the world! I want to and WILL make the stuff I want to wear and that my friends would wear."
I'm fully aware of consequences that would come from this outlook, but I'm also aware of how full my current workspace is with stuff ! ...and yes, USELESS stuff... sigh

So, inbetween making new and inspired stock, I'm going to try and clean out this flood of components that's threatening to end my life with claustrophobia...

I'm also nervously starting to put together ideas and layouts for my newest store on Etsy where I can put out something useful for all the stationary I collect and the typography I do... and I'll find uses for all my cool little fonts that I've been collecting... again.
The Quotable Zoo will be a mass of quotes from history, songs, and other places in printed form and soon after, on useful home and wearable things. Bonus is that there'll be minimum space required for the preprinted stuff.... AND NO COMPONENTS NEEDED!
sigh

Fuelled on coffee (yummers), j-rock (High and Mighty Color leading the charge), and a mass of thoughts boiling in my brain... I go forth to get this workspace sorted out a bit more...so that I at least have space to crash when I can no longer stay awake O.o

Windy evening posts...

It's great knowing that Spring is here... the orchard at the stables is starting to get all green and the flowers have fallen off all the trees... soon we'll be picking peaches for breakfast!

But anyway...
the wind has been going crazy since this afternoon, and I can't wait for it to bring rain along with it.
I also cannot wait to get some real sleep this weekend.
I have been on a sleep diet this week... isn't there something about neuro receptors and lack of sleep?
I base this knowledge on Big Bang Theory...
Yes, if I can *just* clock in at least 7 hours tonight... I'll be blissed.

But I have one last cup of coffee to finish before any sleeping happens.
Waste not, want not...

Tomorrow, I'll be tackling some of this lack of space I'm suffering from. Especially since its been concluded that I won't be moving into my new place till probably beginning December.
...yes...that IS two and half months away.
as if the urgency to be free of this claustrophobia wasn't at enough of a peak...
but we'll get there, and it'll all be worth the wait!

*screeeeeeech*

Sometimes I need to believe it...

Found on the internet: ...

Continued education...

Though late in the year, my stepmom and I have proven that it's never too late to start that dreaded "This year I will..." list.

My step-mother's taken up teaching herself how to play piano (on my ancient battery operated keyboard) and I have, quite successfully, been learning how to write the uncial alphabet (calligraphy).
I've also been doing research on using my sparetime for proofreading... this continues.

Next is writing my learners for a bike license...again.
This is in an effort to get a little vintage style scooter to ride around my little town on.
I kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Firstly, NO ONE will ever ask me for a lift while I'm using it.
Secondly, I will be going "green" and saving on LITRES of fuel that I would otherwise be using in my car.
Great, right?

I'm slowly endeavoring to get back in the saddle and ride before my Sonny is too far over the hills to ride ever again, but this endeavor involves me shedding much unneeded weight. And it's happening... slowly but surely.

I truly do believe that continued education (even self-education) should never be shunned or disregarded.

  

To believe... in luck.

Over the last 3 months, and even more so over the last 2 weeks, my friend has become a believer in "luck".
Most of it bad.

And today, is a day I should have called off and spent in bed... mostly because, my awesome HTC Flyer tablet was stolen. Right out of my bag, without me noticing, obviously though, until it was long over.
* sigh *

Then... *snort* John's wallet got stolen.
We are no where near eachother in kilometres today, but how odd!

Oh well. These are just things... things that can at some stage be replaced, I suppose. 
So the dissappointment will be short lived.
Thank goodness.

But other than that!
Though my spelling and grammar, has at times, been downright atrocious... I have this *thing* for correcting people. Until it was recently pointed out to me that I should direct my "grammer and spelling Hitler" skills into something more constructive. Ie. That I could get paid to do.
;)
Not a profession I would have considered, until recently, but one I'm heading into slowly.
Proofreading and copyediting!

This, could be a journey!
