Long-overdue Updatery
I’m still very much behind in projects, but I have written more poetry in the past few months and sorted more of the photos from before. Of course, I have even more photos to sort, now, so…I’m falling behind yet again. I do have several card designs I’m planning to execute, which will involve some detailed cutting, if I ever get to them! When I have deadlines, I seem to prosper better than when I have nothing but a goal in mind. It’s insane the way I let days slip by so rapidly, but I intend to remedy that soon! I have updated my RedBubble recently and even left a quick journal entry on my DeviantArt, but I haven’t done much else beyond those and, of course, the evil doom that is Facebook. ^^ I’m ridiculously devoted to chatting with friends and family on there at least a few times each week. That means I’m not being as antisocial as before, so it’s a small victory on that account, but…I huge failure on the part of being productive where my future “career” is concerned.
I’m off to write some bills and reconfigure our budget for the next couple months, so enjoy your eve/day! And, on that note, some book suggestions can be found below for those trying to avoid productivity!
Fabulous Books I Enjoyed:
* the Earth’s Children series by Jean M. Auel
* Virtual, Fractal, Chaos (Mode 1-3) by Piers Anthony
* Jumping to Conclusions by Sarah Challis
* The Lost Garden by Mary Stanley
* Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
* The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Books I’ve Yet to Read:
* DoOon Mode (Mode 4 of 4) by Piers Anthony
* 6th Earth’s Children book (if it’s ever done!)
* Like Water for Chocolate/Como Agua para Chocolate
* Cien Años de Soledad by Gabriel García Márquez
* …

simplification mandatory!
Lately, I’ve been focusing so much on poetry, reading, photography, family updates, sorting holiday photos, helping around the house, and trying not to neglect my husband so much…; that I have really been neglecting the online world! This isn’t a travesty in any manner, but it means that I don’t chat with friends as often nor share enough artwork or writing as I once promised to do. Some day, I shall find balance in life, but I fear I shall have to delay that as I have great need of sorting all my worldly belongings! I have a library’s-worth of books, tons of art supplies I don’t have time to use, excess clothing I need to donate/rummage/etc. and so very much more to sort! I need to simplify my life!
Beyond that stressfulness, though, I’ve managed to read 6 long novels in the past two weeks. And, for no real reason at all, I’m reading Little Women…and, after that, Treasure Island. I don’t know why I’m regressing to such simple books, but I’ve read so many plot-thick books lately that I needed a break.
Books I Recommend Because I Can:
1. the Earth’s Children series (5 so far) by Jean M. Auel
2. Virtual Mode (Book One of Mode Series) by Piers Anthony
3. Jumping to Conclusions by Sarah Challis
4. The Lost Garden by Mary Stanley
I still WANT to and MUST read:
1. the rest of Piers Anthony’s Mode Series
2. Jean Auel’s next book (when she’s done!!)
3. Pride and Prejudice
4. Like Water for Chocolate
5. Como Agua para Chocolate
6. Cien Años de Soledad by Gabriel García Márquez
and SEVERAL other books that I can’t name off the top of my head….

Happy Birthday, I love you!!!!!!!
So this is your present! Surprised?!!
Anyway, I made some fancy pants adjustments to it, and so you can do neat things like expand your comments and hide them without refreshing the page etc.
I added something that allows you to put Youtube content, deviantArt content, and all kinds of other cool stuff like slide shows and flashy photo galleries, things you like! But, I don’t really know how they work yet…so you can’t use them. 
I love you … oh and you can delete this post and make one yourself anytime using the link on your firefox bar. Right next to Dr. Warren’s link :p
Have fun! Be sure to give me candy, I’m the best! ^_^
