Fluttering around...

[merimask]

Meh.  Tonight, I suck!  I'm supposed to be working.  I have about a hundred of these guys...

...cut out and half finished on my desk.  Just sitting there, mocking me with their half-painted state.  Normally, I like doing the butterfly pins.  They're easy to make.  They calm me.  But tonight?  I'm useless.

I actually think I'm coming down with something.  Mom was sick last week (and stayed here at my house 'cause she doesn't like to be alone when she's sick) and now I think I'm getting whatever she had.  I was tired all day, dragging my ass around and taking cat naps.  I went for my evening bike ride with Char, but it was TOUGH and I was only good for eight miles when I usually do twelve or more.

And you'd think I'd be sleeping now, but instead I'm up being non-productive.  *sigh*

Could just be the weather.  A big scary storm front is moving towards us right now (I know this because all I've been doing tonight is watching the Weather Channel...snoooore).  Anyway it should be here in an hour or so.  It'll definitely help me sleep...something about thunder and distant lightning (as long as it's not a Wrath-Of-God kind of storm) is very soothing to me.  Like waves on a beach.

Waah.  I think I left my bottle of blue paint open on my desk...

The monarch is especially lifelike :) I thought they were barrettes, at first. My hair is almost long enough to actually stick stuff in again...I can get it in pigtails now. Unfortunately their is a vast lack of artsy, good-looking barettes in small...the kind that are meant to hold back the sides of your hair instead of all of your hair. My hair is so fine that even though I have a lot of hairs, they never amount to much, mass-wise. So I'm always looking for really nice hair-jewellery suitable for someone in my hair situation. I can't even wear my own hairsticks, wah. I kind of doubt I ever will be able to, too.

I often leave my glue open and it gets all thick and hard to pour. (Hot Stuff!) But I like it that way since then it doesn't drip and bond my fingers to the sticks or beads. But then, if I keep doing it, the glue eventually goes from a liquid to a solid and is totally unusable.

Oooh! *evil grin* Then you MUST e-mail me with your address again (merimask at aol dot com)and tell me if you are right or left-handed. I was planning on sending you something for your B-day anyway...I'm so far behind on my f-list b-day mailings! But then, I'm a crappy friend (I already covered that in my last entry) so what can you expect?? ;-)

That's very generous of you :D I don't celebrate birthdays though, so there's no need for a present :) However, I keep meaning to make sure I have a list of my flist's current addy's, which I like to have just in case (Sometimes I just like sending mail, darn it. Good, old-fashioned snail mail. With stickers.) So I'll send you my address no problem :)

Right or left handed? *puzzled* I'm right-handed. :) Good thing, too, because I seem to have lost a bit of mobility/control in the left...but I'm hoping it'll fade over a few months. The damage to my leg did, after all. :) I know I could eventually learn to use just one hand for jewellery but it would be tedious.

Hee hee, you have a little flock of butterflies just waiting on you. :)

It's been quiet here weather wise, just really friggin hot. Ugh.

I have SO much work to do. I finished all the blue ones this morning...but everyone loves the blue ones so now I feel compelled to make more (because I never have enough).

Hot can suck. Unless you have a pool (or air conditioning), there's nothing that cures being hot. Anything hotter than 85 makes me feel like crawling into a cool cave.

heh, I think it was something in the air yesterday. I have 7 commissions and couldn't bring myself to work more than an hour on anything. So I spent my day helping a friend set up a new forum...while somewhat productive....it was in TOTALLY the wrong mode. *sigh* So I feel you hon.

And I AM sick...so it's got to be artist's flu or something XD

:-) Some days it's just too hard to be an adult and do what you're supposed to. It happens to me (work-wise) all the time. I call it "going on strike".

Waah...you're sick too? Don't summer colds suck? *hug* Mint tea is the only thing that seems to be helping my throat right now.
