Elements and books

Here are some drawings I have been working on... and a few pics of the books i have been making....

Am I ?

Weird? Sometimes I think of the things I like to do, or make and I think I am weird... lol My latest fun thing for me is making books... I took the paper from an old sketch pad and folded them in half an made covers for them... I have made a few different types... One is the simple punch holes and put in posts and there ya have a book... Today I tried my hand at sewing the pages and then gluing a cover to it... Hubby was looking at me like I was nuts when I started on book two in front of him, till I showed him the book I made this afternoon... He was impressed but thinks I am nuts at the same time... I feel odd a lot of the times... I like to make things, collect things... I dont think anyone understands me, hell sometimes I dont understand myself lol... I just have the urge to create... To learn new things, be obsessive at times when i first start learning new things and then I tapper off... Hubby might not always understand my creative side but he accepts me for who I am if that makes sense... Which is good cause things would be so much more frustrating if he didnt... He loves me the way I am says I make things interesting... My step dad used to say I make things fun cause I am different and I look at things differently... who knows... At times I think I am just compulsive in some of the things I do... Oh well back to gluing book number two so to finish it before I go to bed... brightest blessings to all...

Economic Stimulus

Taken from Salem....

Subject: Economic Stimulus Payment

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment.
This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
And none of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

Friends...

I’ve been feeling a bit down today… Been thinking about things that bother me from time to time… I recently started using my facebook account and I found a few friends from my past… One we will just call R… We had been friends for such a long time and then after my wedding poof, gone… I had called her, left messages on answering services, with her mom, I even sent a few letters and nothing back… I have to say it bothers me a lot… But what else can I do… If I was back home I would confront her to see what was going on… Did I do something wrong, I asked her in my letters if I did do something wrong to at least tell me… I really have no clue… We met in the 4^th grade and have been friends all this time… We never had to talk all the time or write all the time, the friendship was always there… I asked her to be in my wedding and she told me she had to get back to me cause another relative was getting married and she had to check with that person… I never heard anything… I’m not one to be a pain in the ass about it… I ask you, I felt the rest was up to her specially when she told me she had to get back to me… So I took it as she couldn’t… So I just sent her an invitation and I get a call tell me she would have to let me know cause her and her boyfriend were planning a vacation… I got my response card back a few days later saying she couldn’t make it… I was hurt… A family wedding planned prior to mine is one thing… A vacation that she wasn’t sure of sounded more like an excuse… Maybe its my creative imagination but I just feel like back in high school… She married someone we went to school with which brought her back to those circles we used to be in… By the way I was not invited to the wedding… That was another sting… Was it again something I did or the friends she now keeps that she was embarrassed to let them know she was friends with me… ? If that’s the case I guess all those years of friendship ment nothing? So many unanswered questions that unless she writes back I will never know… She was one of the last people I ever expected this kind of behavior… I don’t think I was ever one of her best friend but I considered her one of mine… The other is my friend K who I have been friends with longer than R… Even after all that’s been said, I still miss her and would love to talk to her to understand it all… maybe someday…..

This is not starting out good...

2009 is not going too good... We are nine days into the new year and on day 8 my furnace wouldn't stay lit, so i called for someone to come out take a look and he condemned the furnace... Which means we need a new one... It's 20 degrees right now, we are trying to heat the house best we can with electric heaters... The gas company doesn't do payment plans so mom had to put 2,700.00 on her credit card that we will make payments to her... They don't do payments anymore due to the recession.... Thanks a lot mr fuckwad president cant wait to you are out of office... I have faith in the new guy coming in... I hope he can help our country from what fuckwad did to it... So I am depressed, hubby is depressed, maybe some day we will get ahead... Oh well Happy Fuck'n New Year....

2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won something

I'm so excited I got an email from Jessica Galbreth today to tell me I won a giveaway for one of her Leather bound art books... I dont win things too often, last thing I won was a 100 dollar shopping spree on holyclothing.com... I love her artwork and I am so excited to get this book... Happy Yule to all...

More Snow....

Just when we get rid of most of the snow we had, we get dumped with fresh stuff.... And we are suppose to have a bad storm coming thru the area... I've been looking out the window and it has been coming down all morning, its cold and bitter outside... I cant even see the hills across the way... And my mother went out this morning and borrowed my car... Not sure where she had to go but I got a call about 15 min ago that she put my car in a ditch on its side... She says its ok and I did ask if she was ok and she is just shook up... I am pissed off, she should have known better than to go out in this weather... And I know if the shoe was on the other foot she would be screaming at me... Not sure how she is getting up the hill, might have one of the plow guys in town bring her up... After they pull my car out... If there is any damage I hope she will at least offer to pay for it, depending on how it is would depend on if i took her money... Do I sound bitchy? I think I am just mad that it was my car... Happy friday...

Changed my mind....

Ok, I started off moving all my jewelry stuff to my computer cabnit since I could lock it up and keep the girls out of it... I put up hooks for wire and moved things around... Well it didnt last... As much as I wanted to use the area I liked the area in the bedroom better plus its in front of a window so i can look outside while I work... We'll see how it goes, so far so good and I put a throw over the cases so they are out of the girls view... Not sure how long that will last, but I can hope cant I?lol
