Nothing to do with squirrels.

Ya know, for a Monday, this ain't too bad so far.

Snuggled in bed too long, but remembered to bring Jennie's package in to town. Didn't burn anything for breakfast. Brushed my hair and my teeth, curled my bangs, wearing clean clothes... all kinds of civilized sorts of things.

Worked more on the Woodworks February cover and HATE it. Stupid COLOR. Hopefully nobody else will hate it as much as I do. I still like the composition, but I can't color. I'm thinking Freedom was just luck. It's done, I think. I'll scan tonight during Monday 'babysitting' and post it off to Ciri. Also to do: Wish3 limited titlepage copies (masters printed), one magnet, press one t-shirt, mail 5-6 packages. Oh lord, and scramble together the illos for my articles. UGH. Some of 'em are done, even most of 'em, just need to compile and insert Would also like to finish 'print service' and personal page entrance graphics. SoooOooOooon.

I need to sit down and set some (attainable would be nice) goals so I can get some of these things off my plate.

Shoes! Shoeses!

*stares at feet*

I just bought new shoes. $90 shoes (erk!), but I needed them badly. For about two years now, I've been wandering around work in my stocking feet. This appalls my military-school-raised husband something fierce (and wears out my socks) and he's been razzing me to go buy comfy pretty shoes for about that long.

So I did.

Doc Martin's, mary jane style in black. And they're comfy and cute and it's weird wearing them.

I feel girly.

Art!

Trolling through for more pictures to retool as character portraits, I found this: (I don't think I've shown this before, apologies if I have!)

( And I added a background and some more tree-texture to this guy. I swear, I'm never finished... )
