This is mostly going to be spewing thoughts, as I am currently waiting for UPS and Fedex to show up with their deliveries.

Health Insurance - I've been dropped from my mom's health insurance because I graduated, it is only a matter of time before my dad's is gone too so it is time to do research and find something that works for me. My job is not ( Read more... )

Pictures of my latest two commissions are up at my Flicker site. Here for demonqueen666 's medieval madrigal gown, and here for the modernized corset.

Well, I did some more job stuff, to little effect but oh well.
