BLORG

Well, despite one "complaint" (first I've ever gotten on any of the classes I've EVER taught) I think my class is going well. I think the complaint was more a lack of reading comprehension than a real complaint though. Whatever, I've gotten more positive feedback than bad. I'm often skeptical of people who say they're teachers taking a class like mine. I feel like they're going to just take my information and reuse it in their class; a risk I have to take I suppose.

I've posted a couple images I coloured on Live stream today. Check out this post on my other blog!

Starting on the 20th I have a week and a half off. I'm so excited. I'm pretty desperate for some time away from work. Just desperate. I need to be away from the same people, feeling unappreciated and stressed constantly because my time is always the first thing pillaged.
Away.
I need to NOT think about the store for a while.
So Donut is putting an order on Dick Blick so I'm FINALLY going to get some grey Multiliners because Donut lets me throw them on her order! Cool No?! COOL YES!
I'm Very excite! I need it, bad.

new years and such

New years is only one thing for me this year! a 3 day weekend WOO! Mums in Victoria right now, visiting with Aunty Dewey. Wonder how Deweys CT scan went....
Sunday We're meeting mummy at the Lougheed mall to  do spot of shopping. There was a Nightmare before Christmas wallet there that I saw when we were Christmas shopping. My wallets a little chunky for my smaller bag.
I'm waiting for my Zune HD to com in the Mail. Due Jan 6th, so Jeri will be able to pick it up on the 7th... Hopefully. EEEEEE! So exciting!
I'm going to die waiting for it :)
I've had an encouraging response to my Copic class so far. within 12 hours of sending my email blast out, I had 3 People enrolled! Just great! I really gotta get cracking on the stuff I need for it...lol...
So I got the Michael Jackson Experience game for christmas, and I finally got a chance to give it  go. Its not normally my type of game (not much of a dancer lols) but it's fantastic! it's a great game! played it for over 2 hours.
Whee!

anyway, watching little house, going out for breakfast tomorrow morning if anything is open!

Christmas shopping!

Just got back from a big ol' christmas shopping adventure!

we went to Lougheed Town Centre to do some Christmas shopping for mum and ended up buying more BIG presents and her stocking is still empty. so we're still at a loss for stocking things and funds run low... Tomorrow we are heading down to mums to get her tree set up and we're bringing all the presents over there too. we forgot to mail things today, and I forgot to get Brendas paint, but I'll do that Tuesday, and still mail it Tuesday, it will be okay. I have enough I'll mail all the stuff up to temple as well. i think that will cost a fortune, unfortunately. we tend to overbuy because we shop early, but then we would rather overbuy than under buy you know...

Still need a Secret Santa present for work, and I have a few other things at work to purchase as well.

Probably should have gotten some christmas cards out to people... Hmmm....

we also came home to find we had a button order! Excite!

Jepi's working on that right now, and I'm going to make dinner.

Good Times

3 Day weekend! My stat for remembrance day is this weekend, so It's very nice! Next weekend my mum is moving into a new apartment so I have a 3 day weekend then too, but it's hard work days off- not quite the same.
Yesterday I got the bulk of my Christmas shopping done. Jake and Fin are done as done can be, Kirsten is done, Temple & Jeff are sorta done. Know what I'm getting, just a matter of getting next payday. All I really have left is Mums and I've got 1 so far, and ideas about the rest.
We were in Toys R' Us yesterday looking for the Imaginex Spinning octopus and Dragon boat accessories for The Pirate ship and Dragon Castle that Mum bought Jake and Fin. We found the Aisle and there are 2 women with 2 or 3 kids there debating over some of these imaginex things. They were blocking our way so we were looking from where we were to see the octo and the dragons and either me or mum spotted the octo and said "oh theres the Octopus" and pointed. the Blond bimbo mums look at me and do not move. Clearly there was competition there. The shelves were pretty bare, and the big sets were on sale so I believe it had been fairly picked over. The women didn't move, just looked at me.
Eventually mum went around and "'scuse me" squeezed in, scooped octo, saw that there was dragons behind and scooped that too.
The woman glared at me, I just smiled and walked away.
I don't actually think the Dragon goes with the castle, but it's a dragon, castles a dragon - kids don't care.
Satisfying. Amazing though the shopping frenzy already about, considering it's really only a week into November. People are shopping earlier this year. I'm delighted to see this personally, as my second biggest pet peeve on the planet; the Scrooges who complain about Christmas due to Cost, Crowds or Selection.
All 3 of these things can be reduced or eliminated by shopping early. I'm not rich by any means but I spread out the cost of shopping by not trying to cram every present in on one pay cheque! I do small things for several months. This also means I don't end up with the last of the items all damaged on the store shelves.

Personally I think these people ENJOY being miserable. Some people do! You'd have to really, if you know it's coming all year and you don't do anything about it.

In case you're wondering my BIGGEST pet Peeve are the ones who complain about "consumerism" and "commercialism" at Christmas. Look up what it REALLY means before you start throwing it around. Christmas isn't the part that's commercialized - its YOU.

So today, I'd like to get some new Digistamps up in my shop but I'm at a loss for ideas apparently :/
I'd kill for some Oreos right now.
I think I'll have a nice hot shower :D

Long Weekend

So, our new(ish) boss Ann is pretty awesome! Shes fair and she's not likely to let you get away with something , which I like. She brought cookies today haha! She also managed to give all the full timers an actual 3 day weekend! so I get Saturday, Sunday & monday off! so awesome :D

Tomorrow I plan on doing more encaustics (a mentioned in a blog on Animated Guru), and hopefully create something with a little more pizzaz than the one I did. i wish I had an iron, I'd like to smooth things out more. I'll have to see if I can make one HAHA! I really like the effects that encaustics gives though... MOAR!

Sunday we're going to the aquarium for the birds of prey in flight exhibit that's going on right now. Many photos to add to the stock account for sure :)

Monday I haven't decided XD
for now, I'm going to go play mario Kart on my wii.
