ROFLAMO!!!!! Lets' make a museum "The dead Beavers society/museum" LOL!!!!
(Michelle LT you are not in, sorry kiddo, your beaver is thriving!!)
Today we have good weather again. No work tomorrow, 1st of May (I take it American dont aknowledge that one, do you?). Since I am not going away, I have to figure out what to do with the kids. Good thing is today I can sleep late so I can finish my first painting and maybe start the other one I need to. This last one was ordered in Sept and I am not taking any money for it since I was TOO late. But I told my client I am back to business and all I want from her is to suggest my things to other clients. She agreed...
Also, our corporate momthly magazine has a section about employees' "creative hobbies" where they dedicate a small piece to one of us. I was asked at least a dozen times till now and didnt have time to do it. I am thinking of doing it now, we are a big "young" company with a lot of kids... Potential customers!!!
No, you are much further along than you were yesterday. You have rediscovered your art and you are becoming yourself again. Hooray for you! The difference in you is huge. You are more confident and happier. It comes through in just the few things that you have said in the last 24 hours.
--> fb2, same advice as Lan, dear God, miracles never seize to happen... Perhaps you are being sarcastic? What I really wanted to say is to hope for the best while preparing for the worst; I think you have tried to do just that for the most part except for every now and then when you get a bit stuck.
Thanks for the support. Right now painting is not so much art for me, it's more about survival and making money. I know that after a while, when I try new things, the creative part in me will be satisfied also (which is better than having no parts satisfied ).
I think I would feel so much better if I had some more money per month. I know I shouldnt complain but it bothers me alot not to be able to feel secure and although H gives me money, my house is actually running on half than what it used to. He doesnt get it. I've talked to him about it and he basically agrees but since he NEVER had any idea about money (he didnt even know how much his monthly salaries were, I did), he THINKS I am OK... He is in lala land in more ways than one and that's why I dont trust him for the future. He will make me ask for anything the kids will need and I am too proud for that.
I talked to someone today. He said the state gives money to create sites to promote e-commerce (we are just getting started here with that). I could make a really nice site and then get 50% back from the state. But I would have to be legal and start paying pension as a shop owner on top of the pension I pay as an employee. And that is so messed up here to start a business etc etc I have to really think about it.
Anyway, Sara, I feel better when our contact is minimum. He is not good for me. He brings me down.
Jeff, hibernating... Hmmm, isnt it spring now? Soemone should be waking up soon
fb2, yes, I was being sarcastic. Never seen you post so srict before. Yes, I know, I have high highs and really low lows. What can I say, it's the way I am wired. K
You posted that those who are doing well aren't on the boards. Consider taking a break and putting the energy and good fellowship you have on this site to work for your own personal development. You've mentioned you have another site where you complain. Give this time to yourself.
You are loved and adored but your situation hasn't changed much. Successful people don't work harder, they work smarter.
Me? Sometimes I get very motivated by myself. When I feel overwhelmed I'm great when I have someone by my side helping me. I have to work on keeping the momentum going, asking for help when needed. Do it for yourself.
In my part of the country, we grew up celebrating May 1 as "May Day". We wrapped ribbons around "Maypoles" and made cute little "May Baskets" with treats inside them. Then you went to your friends' houses, you would leave the basket on the step, knock on the door and then run away. If you left a basket for a boy and he caught you, he got to kiss you... I always ran extra slow for my cute neighbor boy but he never caught me...
May 1 is now my Sydney's birthday. I think I will make some little baskets for her friends at daycare tomorrow...she already has a boyfriend to chase her...
Ohhh that's so cute!! We go outside and pick up flowers and make a round of flowers, dont know how you call it and hang it outside our houses... It's a picknic day for us...
H called and said "he would pick up the kids today for a walk or something and wanted to know if I am ok with that". I am of course. Maybe, I will not have to make a decision or initiate a discussion. Maybe he has made up his mind. He sure sounded like he has. It was very clearly said, "I will TAKE them for a while" statement. That's fine with me. I will even feel better if he comes up with a :"I cant do this" phrase. I am a weirdo, arent I? K
Hi Tomato!! How is your DW? Feeling any better? I'll go check
).
to chase her...
