What's Going On ...

I think I was ready for Halloween two weeks ago, but now that its here, I find I have to straighten up my decorations that the dog has dug up, and its supposed to RAIN tonight - so that might keep the kids away...plus its Monday which is never a popular night with neighborhood kids...I am excited about tonight, tho...it's gonna be fun...

I appreciate all the good sentiments ya'll left in yesterday's Comments field, I really do...I hope you realize that I wasn't fishing for reassurance or compliments - and that the decision to not do remakes will actually FREE me up instead of bog me down (which is not ya'll's fault, its my inability to focus when I have new stuff in my brain wanting to come out)...

No one was hasseling me per se (thanks for defending me tho, Beth) because I think if you've paid for beads, you should EXPECT them to arrive in a timely manner...I blame myself and my inability to turn the beads around quickly, and after feeling this way for a long time, its time to adjust...some of ya'll have been around long enough to remember when I stopped taking orders from the old catalog I had before the Gallery appeared...had to stop that too, just can't keep up...so at least hopefully ya'll understand now...and we will move on...

Are you dressing up for the day at work? I have a fun spider hat that's bright red that I'm gonna wear, and if I still had my black cape, I'd pull that out, but I think I wore it so much I had to toss it...it was like 4 yards of black satin and weighed 20lbs, or at least it felt like it around my neck...I like capes that drag the gound - very gothic...

I made the mistake of catching a little bit of a show about Instant Jackpot Winners last night..folks who've won the Lottery and are now overnight instant millionaires...one guy makes 18K a DAY from the interest on his 40 million...can you imagine? One lady won 96 million...I could only watch a few seconds and then I STILL woke up last night wondering how much we'd get if we just won only ONE million...and then I started remembering all the millionaires I knew in the computer game industry (some of the folks I worked with are new millionaires from their stock options - folks I HIRED and were there after I left the company..can't think about it...ha) and it was hard to get back to sleep...I'm glad I didn't watch the whole show, it might have made me sleepless for a week!

I finished the orders I had staring me in the face, they are all sitting waiting to be mailed...and I started a new set (one whole test bead in the kiln) and liked the results so I'll be making more of them...now that my classes are all completed, I should have loads of free time to get back to work...lets shoot for some cool stuff this week, whaddya say???
