YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finished Snaketown. It needs editing, but I have beaucoup notes.

I CAN'T STOP

HUGGING MYSELF!!!!!!!!

Discovered a new thing

Which of course the whole world has known about:

Am I supposed to try & get 8 oz in one nostril & out the other? I tried, but it then came out both. I actually enjoyed doing it! I just hope it clears out my post nasal drip. Chokes me up in the morning!

So how is Snaketown coming along? I wrote the Epilogue today (it came to me waiting for c-van @ legacy clinic, where I got a blood test to see if I have a fatal disease) and I am close to getting it all together. Then quickly editing. I almost understand raku and both Natty and I think we're Hohokam, so no problems there. I did have a detour to learn about adobe houses.

What fatal disease you ask? (I'm a bi-polar Gemini, so I may be speaking to any number of entities. None of whom leaves comments.) I don't remember.

Watching Beast for 20,000 Fathoms. Sort of laughable. Not quite as hilarious as Potemkin or Way Down East, but laughable.

Go Natty Go Natty Go Natty

Yep, Snaketown:

1. got another sex scene (it just flowed!)
2. Got back to 50,000 without filler
3. has 2 weeks to make the Hillerman deadline!

Need 10,000 more words, get Deb to proof and send it off. Fingers crossed!

Keep on Keeping on

Yea, I got a delivery from Vista Print. As I said, I'm addicted. I will head off to Tucson with an unbelievable amount of note pads, pens, Notebooks, business cards, stickers, postcards and mugs. & t-shirts. I think I'm covered.

I have been outlining the ending to Snaketown. Now if I can just finish it. And edit it. I'm hyperventilating.

Finally, I was seriously dissed by the assholes at the Autumn Chase office this morning. I went to drop off packages and pick one up. The jerk couldn't have been more dismissive. They're harassing me about renewing: giving a party for renewals, having forms to fill out etc. As if.

These are the assholes who leave messages on the ground somewhere near my apartment door. They replaced all the windows. I NEVER GOT THE LETTER!!! They believe I did. I WOULD HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS IF I HAD!!! During the installation, they took out my air conditioner! The assholes didn't replace it! Who will I get to replace it? Doesn't matter.

Last week, they were ????? on my hot water heater. That letter was under the stairs to the second floor. I went to look and it said C-&. THAT DAY, some jerk was talking on the phone, saying "her number has changed." Outside my door. When the workman knocked, I opened the door, very friendly.

I have somehow gotten a bad reputation in this complex. Fuck 'em.

Thanks for listening to my rant. My invisible audience!

PunkinElf Charms

Opened a new web site Punkin'Elf Charms for my charm business. I don't know the purpose, but I'm enjoying expanding on it.
Made reservations for Tucson. Got my AZ ID out of storage. Leaving in the beginning of July. YeeHaw!

Symbolism of the Dragonfly

The dragonfly is sacred to both the Native tribes of the Plains and the Japanese, among others. As a creature of the wind, it represents change. Its wings are sensitive to the slightest breeze; it's meaning to us that we too are driven by outside forces. Dragonflies live near water, symbolic of the subconscious mind. They hover over water, as if getting the complete thought, a deeper thought. Dragonflies live such a short life, their final message to us is seize the day.


This is a site What's-Your-Sign.com I am interested in, as it deals with "Symbolic Meanings Galore!" I will peruse it another time.

Why dragonflies? I am putting together a Wicca/Celtic/Witchy charm bracelet. I am in the midst of a real manic period (I had 17" of hair chopped off. 'Nuff said.) I have a nice dragonfly charm and I recalled that the dragonfly has sacred symbolism. So it goes on the charm bracelet. Natives also believe the dragonfly is the carrier of souls.

The mania of course centers on spending. I have ordered enough products from Vista Print that will have me handing them out on street corners. I'll let you know which ones. C'mon by, say hi!

Renewed Punkinelf.com for another year.
Next week, I'm chopping off my hair. Not by myself (thought there was a moment there when I thought I could).

I want a bob. This article says Everyone looks good in a bob. Here's hoping!
