'Cuz I Felt Like It!

Yep, I spent WAY too much on the kids this year. Not surprising. I always do. I want them to have everything they want that I can give them. They may get most their clothes from a thrift store and not a lot of stuff through the year, but dammit.....Christmas will rock their socks off if I have any damn say. I go way overboard. So what. So what.....what happened is this year I end up having no money left for anyone else. That's so what. I'm a gift giver. I LOVE giving gifts that make people happy. I love the thought that goes into finding the perfect gift........I see the face of the person that's gonna get it and it makes me HAAAPPPYYY! It ain't like I get everybody and their mama's gifts, I CAN'T afford that, but I still got stuff to give yo and the people I got stuff to give to still have already gotten all kindsa weird hand made stuff from me (which they will still get this year), but I have ideas....things I wanna buy. Dammit. SO, here's my proposition.....

Clever use of words there huh? Yeah, not really. I'm bored. I need to be home sewing. I have SO MUCH sewing I need to do. I gotta have all my bears to the Spruill Gallery by the 22nd and still don't have poo done. I'm still finding it hard to get motivated to spend hours upon hours sewing these little creatures when no one is buying them in the first place. I've had just a few up on etsy for months now and they've just sat there. The whiney self concious part of me thinks that people are so over my bears...."Oh My Gah, those are SO last year" is what I imagine they're saying. Who "they" are, I have no idea. Then, there are all the other voices (not the one's on my head, these voices are from actual people!) telling me to not be discouraged. They say it's like those for most everyone. The economy blows. No one's buying anything. Ok, then why bust my ass to get it all done? I got other things to do yo. Combine it all and it really ...

Ok, so here I am creating my first blog. The last thing I needed was one more password to remember, one more site to check on, but a friend of mine really enjoys doing one so I figured "why not"? Plus what better way to pimp myself than my very own online diary. Yeah, great, now everyone can see just how screwed up I am. Yessss! As if there aren't enough that already know! So, here's my story: I'm 31 and work in a law firm in Atlanta. I'm not so much a fan of the whole law firm thing, but it gets the bills paid and everyone I work with is pretty ok. I have lots tattoos that have to be covered. All the time. That can get pretty hot. Georgia weather is a beast and long sleaves all summer...not so much fun! I don't plan on being at a law firm all my life, but I never made it to college and STILL at 31, have NO IDEA what I want to be when I grow up. I don't have many talents (though I'm sure people that don't like me can tell you of a few). I just ...
