It appears that Typepad and I are mending broken fences. Look at the flowers they sent me to say "We're sorry for wasting so much of your time yesterday.....We'll never do it again..." .....Just kidding.....the flowers are from my garden. Not to mention, I don't even think they know we're arguing. But, I know they're apologizing in their own way. Although, of all the changes they did, one has to wonder why "providing on-site childcare while blogging" wasn't one of them. I mean really, would it be so difficult to dispatch babysitters to your customers while they write their posts and download pictures? It would really make a difference in the number of posts I write. Just a thought. Hopefully, it will be top of the list in the next batch of upgrades......
I also decided that since it's the first day of June (yes. I know technically it's the second. But I'm counting it as the first since it's a Monday) that I am going to try to do an "Etsy a Day" event for myself. I'm going to have banners, balloons, candy for the kids and a wacky Master of Ceromonies to help me attempt to put at least one thing a day on Etsy. That seems manageble....for me.....I hope. Of course, I will be facing some obstacles such as going out of town for a few days for my niece's graduation and the upcoming visit from my other sister and niece and watching my dvr'd Judge Judy episodes. But I'm going to try my best.
So far these are the two hearts I will put up later today........
And this little "cupcake". It says "Love and Friendship".......
As you can see I have a bunch that were baking in the Chaos Cupcake factory that didn't quite make it to the fun little basket promo........
Also here a few more pages of my "Inspiration" book. The batteries ran out on my camera so I wasn't able to reshoot these. I don't like the way they turned out. But hopefully you can get the idea........
So of course, if you've been reading my blog you know I love me my reality tv. I try to stay within the major leagues of reality such as Amazing Race, Top Chef and my all time favorite hands down Project Runway. And, yes, I have been known to peruse the dark dingy alleys of reality with Coast to Coast Real Housewives of Orange and New York for a good snark and a laugh...... I have fully admitted it's my meth of tv watching. HOWEVER, there is a limit, even for me, as to what I will endure. And for me to say that.....well, you know it's got to be bad. When I was sick, I was watching some shows and flitting around the channels when I came across Denise Richard's show. Which just begs the question.....why? As in, why don't I have my own reality show? As in, why don't they just come in and film me with my glue gun pasting pom pom fringe and glitter on a box. As in, watching me make dinner and do laundry would be far more exciting than that drivel..... I just don't get it.
And, the other thing I don't get is..... exactly where is the "complicated" part of "It's Complicated." Genocide in Darfur...... is complicated. The folks on Top Chef making an appetizer out of goat cheese, pickles and a twinkie...... is complicated. Trying to get my two boys to play nicely for an hour while I type a post, go to the bathroom in peace and try to finish a craft project....is very complicated. But, your life with a nanny, two assistants and loads of money from a semi-marginal "acting" career is not complicated.....it's Hollywood. Thank goodness I'm feeling better. Now, I can get back to vintage wallpaper, flowers and the "So you think you can dance" premiere.....Have you seen the amazing dancers on that show? Leaping across the room while twirling, smiling and landing gracefully....now that's complicated!
