I was doing so damn good this year too :( Oh well. Guess there's always next year. And I didn't even TOUCH my short story. I would like to say that Thanksgiving was incredibly awesome - just me and the hubby and tons of food. And altho we're still suffering money-wise, we're gonna be okay. As long as we have each other. And, side note, I'm prolly the worst sister ever. My sister called me

So I follow Christopher Moore on twitter and I'm his fan on FB and of course i subscribe to his blogs on myspace - basically i'm a big giant cyber stalker cuz i love his work. Well today he featured someone else's writing in his blog - AND HE'S A MICHIGANDER!!!! Mike Spradlin - and I totally want his book, It's beginning to look alot like Zombies: A book of Zombie Christmas Carols Here's a

Well the show was kind of a success. I didn't do spectacular, but i did actually make a little money at this one, so   it was definitely much, much better than the last few i did. I gotta bust out a ton this week for the Rock N rummage show next friday in Ypsi and also make those special order bottlecaps for Great Lakes Watch Co. And then i think i'm done for the season. I might check into a show

so tired today. I'm quite sure the crappy weather is to blame and NOT the fact that i didn't get to sleep until sometime around 7AM (*SHUSH*). I did sleep until 1:30PM, so i got a decent amount of sleep, but i wanted more. And since I don't usually drink coffee around the house, i am dragging today. If i get my bottlecaps done tonight i will be SO lucky!!! So super quick post just to say hi cuz

I"m so excited! I got an email today from the guy i spoke with in Livonia and he wants an order of 60 bottlecaps!!! YAY!!!! of course i gave him a super discount so i'm not making nearly the money i would make if it were retail, but most of them are gonna be giveaways for his company anyway. And it gets my product out there in a different way! So maybe someone else will see them and want some for

So the guy that I talked to at the Livonia Elks show emailed me regarding making some bottlecaps for his business. So i made a couple mockups (I love Photoshop) and sent them back to him. Just waiting on his reply. I think they look awesome, but then I'm partial to my work. I also ordered some holiday images from an etsy seller instead of working on gleaning images and making them myself cuz

So we were supposed to try and get tickets tonight for Evil Dead the Musical, but money is really really tight right now and even tho the tix are only $10 each we just can't afford anything extra. Especially since hubby didn't get paid again on Monday like he's supposed to. I'm just gonna have to start planning for Tuesday to be his payday and budget accordingly. 1 day shouldn't make that much of

really - why do i even bother??? Once again the Lions lost. I know we have 1 win on the season, but i really was expecting a little more from them. Plus it would have been REALLY nice to kick Brett Favre's azz in his Minnesota purple uniform. Our defense did a good job getting to him tho. They really stepped it up. And Stafford's looking good. He's still underthrowing C. Johnson (really - some

Well, today was the show and it sucked. Really really sucked. And not just for me - for pretty much everyone there. They said they only had about 130 people come through the doors. And at the end of the night when they did the raffle winners for all the donated items from the vendors, it was the vendors that won the prizes lol. The guy that was next to me won my item. I donated a Shaggy Loops

friday here and I'm totally stressing about the show tomorrow. I know i shouldn't. I'll prolly be fine. But I don't have alot of bottlecap pendants made (only about 100 different ones) and chances are someone is gonna ask for something i don't have. it always happens. This is why I'm working on my inventory over the winter months - so I can have tons of stuff when we go back to the bigger shows.

Went today to the Armenian dinner w/ Marvin. It was the last one until May 2010 and it was jam packed! and the food was amazingly delicious as usual. i'm sure gonna miss it :( wish i would have taken a pic of my plate tonight but quite frankly it didn't last long at all lol. i know it's just kebabs, pilaf and salad - but homemade makes such a diference. anyway, i'm remote blogging from my phone

First of all, Happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps! 234 years and going strong!! God bless all Marines, and especially those in my immediate family (hubby, 2 brothers-in-law and grandfather (who is a proud member of the Frozin Chosin)) And as a bday present to me for having so many family members in the USMC(not really), I got a delivery today courtesy of UPS and HSN!!!

Spent today doing absolutely nothing constructive. Okay - 1 thing - I actually made dinner tonight. Arroz con pollo. I didn't have exactly the ingredients I wanted, so I improvised with what we had around the house. It turned out yummy tho! Normally I would have added chile ancho and tomato paste, but since i didn't have any i settled for regular chili powder. I'll post a recipe tomorrow - today

And I did it again! really! why do i even bother hoping for a victory when the end result is almost entirely the same? 20 - 31 loss against a crappy Seattle team! It makes me wanna cry! or punch someone in the face! Honestly! 5 interceptions from Matthew Stafford?!?! GAH!!! And how many yards did CJ put up? 10? Completely ineffective offense today. Thank goodness for our defense or it would have
