Arghh...

My auctions are not doing as well as I hoped and there's only about 5 hours left on a couple of them. I reeeeeally hope there's a last minute buyer since as it stands right now I'll probably make just a few dollars once ebay's and paypal's fees are taken out. They've all gotten a really good amount of hits and views but only one even has a bid.

A critical vote is going down in Congress right now and we need to get phones ringing off the hook on Capitol Hill.

The House Judiciary Committee is beginning to "mark up" a good Net Neutrality bill at around 11am (EST) this morning. Then they're going to vote on whether to bring it to the full floor. Many in the Committee are being pressured by AT&T, Verizon and other major telcos to vote down the net neutrality provisions in this bipartisan bill.

Below are the people who need to hear from you. Urge them to support the Sensenbrenner-Conyers "Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act of 2006" (HR 5417) in the Judiciary Committee -- and to support it without amendment. (Saying without amendment is key as the telcos want to re-write it in a way that guts Internet freedom).

You may have noticed the little link to the right on here that mentions getting paid to read emails. I've had some people ask me if it's legit, and I wrote out a little answer about it on a site called Helium Knowledge. You can read my answer here and find out more, if you want.

I just listed a Marine teddy bear on ebay. I'm hoping it will provide me with a little bit of extra cash to put towards various debts until I finally find a new job. I've also got it set up so that part of the proceeds go to the Red Cross.

Despite the bleak weather today, I made lemonade to celebrate the equinox.

I am looking forward to spring so very much and I woke up with this idea in my head this morning – make freshly squeezed lemonade from scratch to celebrate spring when it arrives. I have no idea where it came from but I love it and decided immediately that I should add it to my 43things. I’ll make a nice icy cold pitcher to sip and enjoy.
It won’t be on the first nice spring day because there have been days like that already lulling me into a sense that winter should be over. Maybe on the equinox then…or when the first buds arrive on the trees. I’ll have to decide on a cue.

Want to join me?

I have not been spending enough time in nature for far too long and it has slowly been eating away at my insides. I instinctively know that doing so will cause the highest amount of depression and anxiety of course, but instincts have a way of being silenced by everyday flotsam.
I am ready for spring.
I want to be in the woods, lying on moss; smelling the ground, feeling the sun, hearing the wind and birds.
I forget too often how unabashedly happy that sort of thing makes me.

There were clothes lurking in hidden places, just waiting for their chance to pounce upon me.
Sooo, sorting out my wardrobe is going to be harder than I realized. I have even more clothes than I thought I did because there was a bin full hiding beneath a box of sewing and some blankets.
I’ve always had problems with too many clothes. I like fashion and clothing and having enough clothes to suit all my eclectic tastes and hobbies. And, for some reason, people like to give them to me; I’m like a Goodwill drop off point when it comes to clothes. It has become utterly ridiculous. I don’t know where to begin really. So far I’ve just done a quick look through while washing the massive amounts of backlog laundry.
I’ve filled up 2 plastic grocery bags worth of clothes to be given away, though, without really trying. I’m going to see if there’s a women’s shelter nearby for some of the nicer ones, and on the off chance I have anything sellable I’ll maybe try to get a few dollars out of it.

I’m drinking more water than I was before but I’m still not drinking remotely enough. I think I can feel the effects, though. I seem to not feel as bad, my skin seems less dry, and I haven’t had as many problems with my eyes feeling dry. I’m wondering if it’s why my hair looks healthier as well.
I think the goal of “drink more water” is too vague though and I need to give myself an attainable one so I’ll stick to it better. So I’m marking this goal as done and replacing it with drink at least 1 liter of water a day. I’ll up that to 2 and then to 3 when I feel ready.

Craft projects, art projects, home repair projects…
Things that aren’t really a big enough job to list as a goal here and things that are currently just taking up space because I’m not doing with them what I had planned. I’ll give myself a deadline and if it’s not done and there are items taking up space in my house – they’re either tossed out or given to a charity. I can’t keep thinking “someday”.
First I have to come up with a master list of the things I want to complete.

Well, Aaron has told me he finds me even sexier now than he did when I was thinner which makes me feel a bit better about my weight. But I want to be able to fit into most of my clothes again, and to not be so completely out of shape. I also need to start working on losing the weight so that I won’t gain any more.




So, for now the goal is 20 pounds. But… if I’m able to gain muscle and lose the fat and to get back to the shape/size I want to be but still not really lose 20lbs of my weight – I will be happy.

I made an appointment with a clinic today to help me take care of my anxiety. Only now I’m going to be freaked out and anxious about where the hell I’m going to come up with the money for it by the 4th. I may can just reschedule it or something, I have no idea.

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and a little sassy, you were meant for Paris.
The art, the fashion, the wine, the men!
Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park...
You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

I'm just going to stop trying to do anything because nothing is going the way it should since FREAKING OCTOBER and I really see no reason to bother even getting out of bed because I will accomplish just as much from there.
Okay? Okay.

All work and no play makes me a dull and tired girl.

I'm off until Monday which is good for my mental well-being but not so good for my paycheck. Or my Christmas shopping.
I think I'm finally over whatever it was that wiped me out for so long. Now I need to fully iron out the kinks in the swap I'm hosting at Craftster before the great people I have swapping all think I'm the worst organizer in history. Everything just happened all at once and spun out of my control.

I have a hive on my face for the second time this week. My mom gets them too; she says they're due to "nerves". Not really the most promising of news, I suppose. I am a big ball of stress at the moment but a week off should help that, I hope.

I'm completely addicted to Flickr.

I took this today of one of the owl pendants I've made. I was cleaning the craft room and happened upon the marbles and Higgins (the owl) while I had my camera out and somehow this is what came of it.

Harmony
~ 66% Water ~ 77% Wind ~ 74% Earth ~ 81% Fire ~
And I know and I believe


There's a way out to the sea of happiness


It seems your personality is in perfect harmony; your impulses are
tempered with thoughtfulness, and your emotions are balanced with a
healthy amount of reason.


In order to maintain that harmony, try wearing a Jade, a Chrysoprase or an Agate; all three enhance balance and stability, as does the Snowflake Obsidian that will help remain balanced during times of change.


In detail: You are more balanced than most people. Your Ground Chakra, (associated with the element of fire and representing our basic desires and driving force), your Creative Chakra, (associated with the element of earth and representing our need to preserve and grow), your Heart Chakra, (associated with the element of water and representing our sense of love and compassion), and your Throat Chakra, (associated with the element of wind and represents our desire to learn and communicate), appear to be on an equal footing with each others.


These are the results you will get if you score highly on...


None of the four elements: Balance Wind: Gust Fire: Blaze Water: River Earth: Valley Wind & Fire: Thunder Wind & Water: Clouds Wind & Earth: Canyon Fire & Earth: Lava Fire & Water: Tornado Water & Earth: Trees Wind, Fire & Earth: Storm Wind, Fire & Water: Stars Wind, Water & Earth: Forest Fire, Water & Earth: Avalanche All four elements: Harmony




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 75% on water

You scored higher than 99% on wind

To anyone who has written a review on Netflix saying how much you disliked a particular movie and then proceeded to give it five stars: You're an idiot. Stop it.

I read Jane Eyre yesterday. Nearly the whole day was spent on it, which was nice. I quite liked the book.

Today I got my license (finally), tomorrow I work, and Thursday I loaf as much as possible and hopefully update the shop.

I really only came here to vent about people on Netflix. My life is so exciting, no?
