the craziness continues...

i am doing a new job at work now. i finally finished my training for customer service ie: taking care of agents instead of insureds, and it is my second week. it has been very hard since i am supposed to know more than the agent. that has taken up most of my time so haven't been very good on the blog front.

basement- ok get this- they are sheet rocking finally. i cant fricking believe it. i even have insulation.

so...very...happy...sniff...

i packed up my studio , again, and have to wait now till it is all carpeted. i am wiling away the hours playing game ps2 style instead of making art. oh well.

the kid is killing us. i hate teenagers. they should go straight from 10 to 20 and skip all the crap in between. that way i don't get gray hairs.

by the way its -90 below 0 here. i moved to get away from this cold. now i have to move back to get away from this cold.

geez

computer stuff

well, I have been working up a storm trying to get my website out there an it is hard work. I wish i wasn't a poor artist moonlighting as a insurance girl. Instead I wish I was a rich artist and NOT moonlighting as a insurance girl. then i could just pay someone but knowing me they wouldn't do it right.

I just can't wait till the day i can make it on my own making art and running my store. By the way all, I am sure dad hasn't said but i am also in the venture of opening an art supply store to all the schools and public here. I am going to call it 'Michelangelo's Closet' catchy huh? the logo is going to be the statue of David in a closet with all kinds of art supplies and tools. both Jeremy and i are working very hard towards this and my web site, by cleaning up our terrible credit and paying off all the bills. i am excited about it and hope that in 5 years i will have it going. hopefully sooner.

plus i sold my first piece! i sold the mini corset in lime green and red before Christmas. it is a weird sense of relief, sadness, and totally thrilling. every piece i make is like a child and it hurts when it goes to a new home. but i know that the person really wanted it.

enough babbling, back to my slug-like conquering the world

can't sleep

i have been suffering from no sleep for at least a week now. vivid dreams, hard time falling asleep and staying there once i am asleep. talk about me being krrraaaannnkyyyyy!!!!
it makes it really hard to be nice to people on the phones when they are yelling at me cuz they didnt pay their bills.

i hope everyone is enjoying the website and please give feed back with a email. i cant seem to get the comment to work so i am still screwing around with that.

on to the ongoing enjoyment of my basement. they finally got the plumbing done last wednesday but no show on thurs and fri. my bills have straight doubled (ie electric and gas since its been about 20 degrees here the house is frigid so the heater is running on like 80 degrees to be even comfortable. keeping track. the landlord won't be happy. dont really care. he has a house that isn't torn apart.
the main thing that is getting to me is not the water, not the bills, not even them not showing up. its i cant work in my studio. no heat, no floor, no walls and 1/3 of what room i have is piled with other suff.

jonesing for a cigeratte doesn't even compare.

by the way read Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events. really cool books
