Listening to Cyndi Lauper and working on ad sales. Been able to do a lot of creative stuff lately... what's new with that? Not much! I am truly blessed to have been able to develop an arts-related job for myself that I am happy putting all my passion into and I enjoy very, very much. I am blessed and it has been thanks to love and support of my husband, family, friends, and the community.
I truly am blessed. I don't know what else to say. I work very hard, but I do realize how lucky I am. I do feel like what I am doing is important and it is for the appreciation of the arts and giving opportunities, creative output, and creative voice to people who need it and want it.
I work on communicating with people every day, editing, laying out the magazine, graphic work, marketing, photo shoots.
I am blessed to get to have an incredible home life -- we love each other every day and are just like two kids together... playing video games, cooking good food, going out from time to time... decorating for Christmas, playing with our animals, watching our favorite TV shows, trying to keep in touch with our family and friends. Mostly just making jokes with each other.
I listen to Spotify all the time, browse the internet, watch TV (hulu & netflix), clean house... when I'm not working. But I actually, literally, work all the time when I'm not sleeping... my mind is "on" all the time... I like it. It's just me. That's the only contention in my life is Donnie wants me to get my mind off work... but I'm on a mission so...
That's what I do.
Christmas time.... no car... Donnie and I live very modestly as far as money/money goes so maybe soon we will have more money to travel... but Donnie bought gifts for his side of the family... we do our traditions... food we like to buy and prepare every year (eggnog is a biggie, sausage & cheese, pumpkin and pecan everything, cheesecake... we might be making Alaskan crab legs for Christmas... ham...)
Yesterday, Donnie brought home Taco Tuesday from Rosa's Cafe... he ravaged the condiment buffet for us -- lime, lemon, no-caliente sauce for me & mucho-caliente sauce for him. We went to Poppa Rollos on Monday so left-overs was my breakfast (I usually do better than that). Then, big ole soft tacos for dinner. This morning he made me eggs to go with our coffee -- rockin' the hazelnut creamer currently.
I got a xD card full of some experimental photography I did last week... can't wait to play with the pictures.
I am working on ad sales for the mag this week. Got a meeting on Thursday. A release party on Dec 21 to plan... and I'm going to be a feature poet at a poetry venue in early January.
We live really moderately in order to be able to afford having an "easy life." Like, I haven't shaved or gotten my eyebrows waxed in a couple months... :>O just to save $$$$ on the little things, but Donnie is actually going to hook me up on both those fronts this month. For Christmas, he's taking me on a little shopping spree to get some things I need :D
I have to plan a new blog for the BoHo blogs... I would really like to start developing myself more as a blogger and take notes from the other bloggers on the site that are very talented and good at what they do...
