why does it have to....
When am I going to...
Is it ever...
Gah!
This is what my brain starts doing after trying to get a web page to look right across browsers. The evil here? INTERNET EXPLORER. It impales my enthusiasm like an old ornery crotch of an old person can bore youth to tears with toothless ramblings of "Sunny, back in my day..." wielding a cane.
IE is like the playground bully equivalent for browsers. It does NOT play well with others.
It is the socially awkward one inf the D&D group that gets kicked out.
It is it's own epic FAIL.
...
It is the runt of a litter whose parents know it's not fit to reproduce so they do the world a favor and CHEW IT'S HEART OUT.

Brain gone fishing.
I am still as overwhelmed as can be. And I just found out that I probably do not qualify for food assistance... How can this be? I make so little and have so much stretching to do! How could I possibly be above the poverty line? The numbers say I just make it but I don't feel like it!
It's time for me to revamp my objectives here. I lost my 30 project momentum, and stress has made me a frettering lump.
I want to make money from my art. I want to make money from the internet. I want to work from home! I want to create pretty things!!
A friend of mine just offered me to take over a website she created for someone. Out of enthusiasm for her and the prospect of a little extra cash, I said yes. Wow, will I regret this? I said yes though; so I'm going to see how it goes. It will at least expose me to shopping cart mechanics.
So that means I have three web clients at the moment. I don't think I want anymore for a bit. I'm now going to focus on watercolor, digital painting, illustrator graphics and saving up for a new camera. I'm going to really start jumping into the 99design site and hopefully start winning some of the contests. Actually, Devientart.com, conceptart.org, iStock.com and digitalphotographyschool.com are also sites I'm going to hit up BIG.
I am scattered like a drunk with a house of cards.
OOOO gotta love texts that ask "U have plans after work? Roadtrip/treasure hunt? It be me secret!"
I love fun.

Storms and silver linings
Hands clap to ears to stop head from spinning... And hope it's facing forward!
That's how the last few weeks have been. I even had a 9 day vacation, but it wasn't a vacation, it was more head spinning! Juggling! Problem solving! Sleep depriving!
Where's my REAL vacation?
Daughter has moved in with cat; does not get along with resident cat or man. Ex husband is throwing a fit about taking cat back. New puppy has moved in this week too. 8 week old TERROR. Oh, I meant terrier. Min Pin. Might as well been an 8 week old baby. And, amongst this craziness, I am still working on my 30 day stuff... Trying to appease everyone, and have no car. Hubbawah?
But in the middle of this maelstrom, I am seeing the light. I did indeed complete my 30 days of watching The Secret, and I've been seeing results.
My desire for hot yoga yielded me a studio close enough to me that offers- get this- $5 hot yoga classes. It didn't show up when I researched studios last year... and then boom, there it was a couple of weeks ago when I searched again. I also found a studio that offers ashtanga that is also kinda near me, which also didn't show up in my first search last year.
My desire for a puppy(and I even had a picture of one I liked on my desktop)yielded a rescue puppy that actually looks a lot like the dog in the picture. And for a price we could handle. No work on our part; found for us by others!
My desire to figure out what I should be doing for work landed me an out of the blue photo gig that paid well, and may lead to future assignments, also found for me by someone else. A photographer came into the shop the other day, and may turn into a good contact. Plus, the company I worked for last fall contacted me to see if I'd work for them again this fall.
My need for a new car yielded an unexpected call from a friend offering me their car. A price I can afford, and considering the year, good mileage and condition.
My desire for a Jeep hasn't gotten me one yet; but it has brought them out of the woodwork... they are EVERYWHERE. They follow me, pass me at lights, sometimes three at a time. I believe that soon enough the one I see parked in my driveway will be mine!
