Anybody Got an Extra Arm or two I Could Borrow?

This whole 9 to 5 job thing doesn't work for me. Well, 9:30ish to 4 in my case, but I digress.

I seriously have so much to do in life outside of work that it's making me go all batty and crosseyed and shit.

First, this weekend is the Hot Rodz & Hillbillyz Car Show .

Not only is the the FUNNEST (yes, I said funnest) car show EVER, but I also get to run my car on a dirt track! Here I am last year in the Comet (white car).
There ain't nothin' like haulin' it down a dirt track with a little "Gucci Crew II" blarin'. Yeah, that's right....GUCCI CREW II! I freakin' love the Cabbage Patch!

HOWEVER, this year I also have some responsibilities which means I gotta take it a little slower on the gin and tonics (pstht....right). Myself and some of my fellow Big Wheel Bitches have decided to do a bake sale! Who doesn't love a bake sale???? I've gotta make a kazillion jello shots (mmmm.....jello shots!), some S'mores and fudge. No actual baking involved for me since my oven has been broken for the past six months. Let's hope I actually sell more jello shots than I consume. I can see it now. I wonder how many jello shots I can fit in my mouth at one time. Mmmm.....I love jello shots.....did I already tell you that?

After camping at said car show, we will pull our hungover asses back home and have to clean the cars. Our poor babies will be covered inside and out in dirt which by the time the morning dew sets in, will be more like a thin layer of mud. Why not just wait and clean the cars later you might ask? Well, would you want your baby sit in a thin layer of mud longer than he or she had to? I bettin' no and you see, to me, my car is my baby. I can't let dirt sit on her! She'll just soak it all up and end be tea colored. Plus she's gonna need a lot of TLC after what I put her through this weekend. Ugh.....poor thing. Let's pray she can make it home on her on four wheels!

See, LOTS of dirt! You'll find that shit in places you didn't even know you had by the time you get to bathe!The SECOND thing coming up is all the Halloween stuff. I've got the costume situation under control. My son wants to be the same thing as last year, so I'm good there. My daughter wants to be a vintriliquist's dummy. I've bought her tux and hat off ebay already so there's another thing crossed off my list. NEXT weekend is the Fall Festival at my daughter's school immediately followed by the Halloween Festival and Parade in L5P. It's always awesome, but it's always a stress to get there. My husband HATES people so you can only imagine the fun in getting there and getting around in the crowd! Last but not least on my list is the upcoming holiday season. I gotta get my ass a' sewin'! I have to get a new stock of bears to the Spruill Gallery for their big Holiday House and have just about nothing to stock it with! This whole economy thing really just blows and because of it, I haven't been sewing much. I think my little Battle Scarred Bears are WAY down on the "Things To Buy" list for people right now so I just haven't been making them. Well that and I'm just too damn busy to be making them right now!!!

Anybody got an extra arm or two I could borrow? Maybe a time machine that will give me a few extra hours in the day? Maybe a lifetime of free money so I can quit my 9ish to 4 job? Anybody? Helloo??

June 28 - I Heart Faces Pet Entry

I know, I know....it's be FOREVER since I last posted, but life has majorly gotten in the way.

East Atlanta Strut 2010

I've been sewin' my fingers off tryin' to get ready for the East Atlanta Strut . It was the first show I had ever done and it was a BLAST! Bein' used to your standard kinda craft shows, you know the ones.....wood cut into silly stuff, marsh mellow guns, lace and potpourri, you can imagine my excitement when I was accepted to do the Strut, which ain't your mama's craft show. After three years, I've decided to give it a go again. I've really focused on my bears since that's what I really enjoy makin' and it's what everyone seemed to like best. You definitely won't find anything else like 'em out there! They're all sad lookin' and junk.....and people wanna hug 'em when they see 'em. I started sewin' these guys three years ago and after readin' an article in a magazine about a man that went to war, was burned badly while there and came home to his finance, married her and made babies with her despite all his s...

FML

This whole tryin' to be positive shit ain't workin' today.....or for the past few days as a matter of fact. I'm tired. My mind hasn't absorbed so much learnin' since I was like.....I dunno.....youngish. You know what learnin' overkill does to me? Shuts me down.....fucks me up. All this thinkin' straight at the new job ain't lettin' me think straight anywhere else. I get home and my brain turns to fondue. I'm so, so, so tired. On top of this tired shit, my weekends are PACKED...and now I have no money for these packed weekends. Not only did I take a HUGE pay cut, but Jeremy's job just decided that his position is no longer needed....so.....they've put him back to what he did when he first started workin' there three years ago and MAJORLY cut his pay. MAJORLY. When the fuck does this stop? I've said over and over.....good things come to good people. What'd I do that ain't good????? I even gave that chick standin...
