always this and always that.
always so much to do & see in our complex little world, it makes me a busy bee!

Sarah's note about going to see Ruin reminds me I must start checking out the awesome small and upcoming bands that play shows at the Hemlock. Maybe I'll check out Photobooth...

Sunday we're probably hittin the Rube Waddell show at Bottom of the Hill if you wanna go. Looks like it's gonna be a hoot. And it's at 5pm, BBQ and all!

This site has a bit of interesting thoughts and things. [link from newstoday]

Great news about the FCC fiasco... considered a small victory in the fight! wahoo!

Tomorrow I have a conference call set up w/ two fellow independant artist/designer girl friends that span over 3 states of the U.S.! We plan to discuss strategies for promoting our businesses, help answer questions or solve problems we may have, and in general provide a support network for eachother for setting goals and setting new sites for our small businesses. Fun huh!? :)

Somewhere before or after this call I was gonna have coffee with my friend Rachel to discuss her website. hmm... (might be where I need to use my "no" power.) I am working on becoming *horns sound* Super Woman who knows how to say "No"!! And then a winey voice inside me says "But I waaaaannnnaaa help her with her website". And then the crotchety old mother who's trying to be sweet as she stuffs cookies down my throat says "There, there, little one. You could but you've already commited yourself to WAY TOO MUCH ALREADY!!" out comes the evil mean face that won't let me run or get out & b healthy cuz I just might hurt myself!

*bloop!* (pop out of the bubble window into my internal thought process) oy, that's one for the couch, eh? hahhaaa hey, I'm working on it!!! :D

Then I get to have a nice lunch w/ my buddy Mateo. (whom some call my ex, but I'm not so comfortable with that term) See, for a long time he's been my sweetie, my honey, etc - so I'm not quite ready to start calling him that mean ol' discarded 'ex' word yet. Isn't there a nicer term for that? Is there an acronym for "he's the guy I dated for over 4 years and lived with for 2 but we just recently seperated to get a better perspective on what each of us wants in our lives and the split was very amicible and tender and we still care for eachother very much but we're just not able to jump back into eachother's arms yet cuz everything just feels so jumbled and unsure?" oy. that'd be a long acronym huh? hahaaa can't help but giggle at that. why are relationships are so damn complicated!?

Then I get to play frisbee in the park! wahoooo!!!!! My friend is in town for just a few days, and beyond sharing a love for design - we love frisbee. :) and the park near my house is perfect for it!

Gosh. This is all on a day that I actually have quite a bit of other things to do. I need to be sure to write out a lovely list so that I can be sure to get all my stuff done!!!

Funny how time management is all about small little choices. Say yes to this, no to that. Rest later, work hard now. Take on new business, cuz new business is great! Work on current projects while you wait for the new client to get back to you....

Sleep. Bath. Eat. Work. Drive. Work. Drive. Eat. Work. Sleep. (pet kitty in between some of those slots)
