| My Husband the Super Spy |
[Jan. 2nd, 2010|01:41 pm] |

Today is my husband's 40th birthday - happy birthday to my personal super spy (he's shown up on the cover of countless books as a spy, detective, serial killer, CIA operative...), lover, best friend, opener of jars, rescuer of wayward spiders and amazingly talented artist. |

I have been looking and looking for a calendar in the stores and just can't find one that tickles my fancy so I decided to make my own. I tried to use photos from 2009 only but there were a few all time favorites that I had to include. (Jan, Aug and Oct). I wish I could make some to sell but they are really cost prohibitive ($20 to print average) and I wouldn't pay mark up on that. Okay that's not true, I did last year for a calendar by Anne Julie but she's brilliant. Sadly she didn't have one for this year. |

Okay, this is really it for 2009. I will accept no more ridiculous situations in 2010, I mean it!
My front right hubcap has been missing for almost a year and I have never had the right combination of time and extra cash to get them all replaced. They're just cheap plastic hubcaps and the other 3 were looking grim and all year I would walk outside and be a little depressed by my white trash looking car with it's missing hubcap and reminded of the financial crapulence that we were wading through. On Tuesday we took the car into Les Schwab to have a flar tire fixed (another ridiculous story) and replaced the hubcaps. Yay! My car looked so happy and shiny! Woo hoo!
This morning I look out the window and the front right hubcap is missing. |

Eternal thanks to all the wonderful models who inspire me and put up with me, the weather and that stuff that didn't wash off very well. All the best in the new year! |

We watched "Ink" on Netflix last night and really really enjoyed it. Very clever "visuals on a budget", great character design, the bad guys were really creepy and the boss bad guy was great. There is the most subtle effect with his eyes that will give me nightmares for days. The fighting scenes smacked a bit of "Six String Samurai" (anyone remember that?) and there was a bit of overacting but we both were impressed with the execution of what could have been a confusing jumble of a storyline.

Went to Crafy Wonderland this weekend at the Convention Center. It was PACKED which was nice to see but a bit of a pain to walk around in. Saw some great things but absolutely LOVED this guys stuff which my family forbade me to buy. Also the best name ever for a maker of things. |

I hate sitting around waiting for things to happen. I have many "in the works" situations that I am waiting for information on. Another book inclusion, a feature on a New York fashion forecast site (I don't quite get it but okay), multiple payments owed to me, misc photo related bs...frustrating.
I also realized that my camera falls under the "do not lift anything over 5lbs." category. A little bit of ouch there. I was also precariously balanced on the top of a stool trying to shoot straight down so all in all bad choices on my part. |

Oh bother! I was rooting around in the eaves of the attic and found a whole bunch more old framed photos left over from past shows. I guess I will have to have another blow out clearance sale but not until next year. I'll have some left overs from a current show to add to the batch as well as rejects from my Etsy store. |

Next time I won't be so cavalier about surgery. Can't move much, feel like I've been stabbed in the stomach repeatedly (OH WAIT, I WAS!) as well as feeling like I have several broken ribs (I don't). Am very tired of laying still, not being able to cough or hiccup or breathe without pain, and unfortunately all the regular pain meds make me projectile vomit so it's Tylenol for me.
I am alive however and should be up and about by next week in a limited capacity.
They put a camera through my belly button!
More gory details to follow. |

Hello all - just returned from Thanksgiving with the family this evening. Have been suffering horrible HORRIBLE intestinal pain since dinner on Tuesday when my sister fixed the most delicious chevre and pesto mac and cheese topped with panko. The pain sort of localized by Friday at which point the elder family members decided it sounded much like gall stones. Upon returning home we called our friendly neighborhood doctor and he confirmed the symptoms but said if I could stand the pain waiting to go into the emergency room tomorrow morning (after I drop my daughter at school) won't make much of a difference. However, since I'm diabetic it is fairly urgent as my inflamed gallbladder can become gangrenous!! The irony, most likely the gall stones were brought on by the stupid cholesterol medication I am taking which is part of the whole diabetic package! Argh!
So this Thanksgiving I am thankful for medical insurance. Truly.
I spent most of the time laying flat when I could although I did manage to hike around the beach and take fashionable pictures of my husband. See, I do suffer for my art sometimes! I also tried to take just picture pictures and not stock pictures to relax. It was fun. I just wish my camera wasn't so damned heavy.
So, barring any horrific diabetic complications I'll see you on the other side minus a gallbladder! |

Okay I caved in, I'm losing track of my friends since they are all migrating away from LJ ( I hate you all by the way) so first I did the Facebook thing and now I am opening an account on Twitter since a couple of dear people seem to be only there.
Here's me
