Taboo Show

The show is tonight and I'm not sure how I feel about it exactly. I do love performing, but it seems weird. Maybe it's because I've had less than a week to get it together. I'll let you guys know what conclusion I come to later. We have a one hour run thru and then decorating. The show I believe is at 11pm.

And the story for today is

I don't really know if there is much to tell. I am busy this week. I've had 3 dance practices this week so far, a rehearsal today at 6, with show scheduled for 10pm or 11pm. I'm bartending at a banquet dinner Saturday. And I don't know whether or not there is another practice on Sunday, since we now have 2 shows set for December at the new studio location. Oh, and I need to squeeze in homework that's due Monday. At the moment though I'm sitting at Great Harvest Breads sipping mocha coffee on 25th St with my daughter wandering around in her pumpkin costume. There is random music playing that I've never heard of. I'm sitting at a table shaped like a peach half with high backed wood chairs. It's kind of chilly in here actually. Probably a reflection of the declining temperature outside. I should get going soon, but I don't think I want to yet.

I'm hoping to get some photos posted up here soon, but I need to get a new USB port or burn the photos onto a CD before I can upload them.... maybe get a data port? I know I need a new mouse.  My Mac doesn't have a slot for a compact flash card.

New Laptop

It's a MacBook Pro. I'm really excited about it. I'm still gonna have to use my folks computer for somethings, but I'm excited to have internet access more than at their house or at school.

If goes as planned..

I will have my new laptop tomorrow. Thrilling! Then I won't be as dependant on other people's computers. Printing will be the only thing that I'll have to rely on others for.
In other news, apparently Taboo is back together. Even though I wasn't sure we even officially disbanded, life just got in the way. There are a few last minute practices before we're doing a show on Friday. I foundout about this Sunday. Talk about short notice. I'm not complaining just a little overwhelmed.
In yarn news, I've picked out my next review yarn. I've been working with it a little bit at a time during the week. At currently I have 2 crohcet projects, 1 knitted, and 1 on my knitting loom. I'm quite happy with this as I'm making decnt progress on all of them in betweenn homework, house work, and work. There are some changes at work now. I'm not cocktailing, instead I'm learning to bartend at banquets at the hotel that the bar(s) are in. Which is fine with me, bartenders tend to make more money anyway. That's the update thus far.

Reality vs Perception

Somehow, I was thinking that I was posting more than I acutally have been. How I tricked myseolf into thinking this I am not quite sure. Frankly though, I am not going to ask. I seem to be all over the place mentally. I'm not even sure how I managed to stay focused long enough to finish my homework and online test. I'm happy to say that I finished it though.
I'm looking for additional work now, since I'm just cocktailing Sunday's at Fahrenheit. It gives me plenty of time with my family and homework and to focus on my business, but it's hurting the bank balance.. a lot. I'm choosing not to be stressed about it, but it's hard. I still don't know what to do about getting traffic to my online store. If anyone has any advice, I'll take it. I know right now I'm tentatively planning on doing th farmer's market next year. I was going to apply for this year, but that just didn't end up happening. I'm hoping to email a few people and get some help. so wish me luck.

New Class

I started my second module of school. I still find it hard to believe that I'm a student again and that I've commited myself to this for at least 20 months. I'll be glad when I start feeling integrated. I've always been on the outside... on the outskirts of fitting in. One of the reasons I've worked in bars on and off since I was 21. For the most part I fit right in.
On a brighter note I'm taking more time to work on my craft(s), always something new. Don't know if this mod will leave me with the same kind of time. Day one and already I have like 3 assignments all due at different times. I won't give up though. I need to make time for yarn or fabric or paper everyday. I can't not make things. I have more photos to post, both here and to add items to my store, but I don't think I have time today. I think it'll be easier once I get my laptop (fingers crossed) in a couple weeks.
I want to start writing agsin (poetry that is) maybe even making art books with them. I say a short clip on book art and book artists. I want to learn more... but where? I'll figure it out.

Ravelry

I noticed that I am very behind in updateing my ravelry page and probably all the other miscellaneous web pages I'm affiliated with. Amazing.. no. Quite frankly I'm not surprised at all. Disappointed yes. I want to say that I'm going to get cracking (snapping as it's photos I need to be taking and uploading) but I'm not so confident that I will. School in now on my plate and I'm still working 2 jobs on the weekends for now. My days off aren't really days off... I run errands, go grocery shopping, pay bills, working on the actual product not the marketing of it. But I don't know how to get my stuff out there... any ideas?
