• Fantastic Magic is sold out! Rum and Ruffians is only on sale for two more days! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/coloringbooks.php
  
  
• Next Sketch Fest will be October 21-22! The last two weekends were tied, but this one is more convenient for me. Support was strong for keeping it on a weekend, and for doing one in October, one in November. So it shall be!
  
  
• Sketch Fest programming goals: Fix lingering bugs with nicknames. Add check for real name and address before allowing sales/credit purchases. Check to make sure address update is working. (Hmm... seems to not be. I think I know what's wrong...)
  
  
• Deadline for frogs galloping down on us! Get your work in ASAP! http://emg-zine.com/guidelines.php
  
  
• Emergency last-minute EMG-Zine request! Please send your art or writing questions for this issue: http://emg-zine.com/askanartist.php - you may send as many as you'd like!
  
  
• Coloring book proofs are supposed to ship today. Will they? Stay tuned!
  
  
• Big plans today are programming - have a few projects that need worked on, some freelance, some for EMG-Zine, some for EMG in general. Trip into town possible - I really should go to the gym; I skipped yoga last weekend and will miss it this weekend, and haven't done my crunches in a good while now. Bad Ellen.
  
  
• Factory notes: Still feel pudgy rather than really pregnant. Seven total pounds of gain so far, though it fluctuates a pound or two.
  
  
• Jake got me a new down comforter for our 10 year anniversary present, and it was like sleeping in a cloud. Blissful. Utterly blissful. Feel well-rested and energized.
  
  
• My jaw has been clicking and hurting a bit lately. Unsure if this is related to anything else in particular, but it's starting to be annoying. I plan to ask the doctor about it at my appointment next week, but I'm also considering a massage/chiropractic option. An Internet search shows other pregnant people complaining about this, too.
  
  
• Have a lovely Wednesday!

THANK YOU for making SF the 21-22nd, I was trying to figure out how I would work moving and that at the same time! Though I still haven't found a place I really like...:p

Worked more on my frogs article last night, and I convinced Crystal Moore to submit her frog art! She said that she is worried about the picture getting made into wallpaper, but didn't our wallpaper lady have to give up making wallpaper some time ago?

I think I'll have to skip the EMG-Zine ship month to get all my Sketchfest stuff done, as well as another zodiac piece, and a sort of commission I have been putting off for way too long now. Do we know anyone who can rock the ship subject? Or someone can do an article about how to depict water (did we have one like that yet?)

I sent a question, though I don't know how thrilled Ursula will be with it. <:)

I find this funny: "other pregnant people", it's like PC has invaded... <:)

Wallpaper is no more, alas! She wrote to me, I emailed back explaining.

The ship subject is tricky - it's been low on art and fiction submissions, too! But you deserve the month or more off!

I'm thinking happy apartment-finding thoughts for you!

Oh, thank goodness! I'm still grateful that my symptoms aren't more miserable, but this is one of the less pleasant!

Darn you ships! *shakes fist*

I do have a bunch of ship books that I have been collecting over the past year in preparation. ......Hmmm, well, first I am going to concentrate on finishing frogs,and then the PA commission, and then sketchfest stuff.
