the other side of midnight
I seem to have made it thru to today and am not sick...I think I just hadn't had enough sleep yesterday and it threw my body outta whack...i was feeling hot and my head would not stop pounding, but today I feel fine...a little groggy, I didn't sleep great, as there were cats on my head and feet, but I feel fine otherwise...
Its hot and humid out and I have flats of herbs to get in the ground...am not looking forward to that...maybe I can wait till tomorrow...maybe...maybe not...hmmm...what to do...
The taxes are officially mailed to our accountant...i've been using the same dude since 1990 or 1991, when I had to resolve my tax situation when my husband-at-the-time had elected not to do our taxes for 4 years (even tho I tried to gather the info w/out him and get it done myself)...I was paranoid, made the appt to meet w/ the accountant and then my ex wouldn't show up...the accountant bailed me outta a potentially bad situation and i've never forgotten him...so even tho I could probably do my own taxes, I still use his services (I'm not great at adding 2+2, so its just as well) and if the IRS ever pokes its nose in my general direction, I'm gonna hide behind him like Hagrid...
I like to poke around Etsy for various beads to see who's making what and what the 'popular' beads style of the moment is...it seems when one person comes up with a popular style, everyone jumps on that bandwagon and copies it...so I can tell what the latest, greatest flavor of the month is...right now it seems a lot of the reactive, silver glasses are popular because they do all the work for you...which I can understand, especially for folks who are new to beadmaking or just like shiny glass, which I most certainly do...there are some really nice beads out there, and some really stinkers...its like any artform, always good and bad...I read somewhere that eBay has jacked up their prices (again) and that's why so many people are trying out Etsy...that's cool with me, I'm not big on giving eBay more $ when they aren't offering anything new on their end...Etsy is a fun, happy place and I hope it stays that way for awhile...I remember how fun eBay was at first, until all the professional businesses setup shops and now you have to dig through all the crap to get to a decent priced, authentic antique diamond ring from the 1900's...I bought all sorts of inexpensive rings on there years ago, now its like getting getting lost in the jungle trying to find a decent ring...so I don't bother...bah...stay on Etsy and find something handmade instead, its good for the small-time artist...I like that...
