Hmm. Must be time for the fair - we're getting FLOOD WARNINGS.

(Not us personally - we live on a hill. But our driveway is streaming water and there are big muddy puddles everywhere.)

I really, really, really hope it dries up by the weekend, because setting up a tent and sitting out in this for a week would really suck.

In other sundry news, still prepping for the fair and toying with products to try out there. Ordered more clearbags and bookmark tassels, and I've been clearing out my seconds box (the box I dump all the various misprints and overprints into as I'm filling orders). Trying to get caught up on orders before the crush occurs, and poking at various scripts and codes. Gotta get EMG-Zine worked on before Friday, too, eek.

Wednesday, I'm going to the hot springs for a soak with my mom and sister - really looking forward to that. I made the mistake of saying out loud to Jake on Sunday, "I think my neck has finally, finally completely stopped hurting. Only took two months!" Then I slept on it wrong, and it hurts again. When will I learn not to open my big mouth?

If any of you darling people have artwork in the theme of 'muses,' the deadline was the beginning of this month, but we've got nothing to offer as wallpaper, so I'm still accepting artwork! Remember that Friday is the last day to submit "blades" themed work for September. (That's an EASY one!) http://emg-zine.com/submitart.php

Blah, blah. Shower now.

okay... floods??? Yikes. At least it looks like you'll have a gloriously relaxing weekend? <3

Submitted San/Uneide for your muses, and a blade piece. ;)

You are a GEM! Thanks!

Gloriously relaxing isn't how I'd describe it - the tent is for a 9-day fair, not camping (which WOULD be fun...).

ladidah, I spazzed-- meant the Wednesday hotspring soak. ;)

Also - not sure if San works for wallpaper, since its portrait styled, but if you need cropping( if you choose to use it) s'cool by me.

Oh, good lord. You know, we were just wondering about that last night, considering the unbelievable amounts of WATER that's been coming down from everywhere. It just rained and rained last night. Our house is built on mining tailings, but our (gravel) yard is still full of puddles.

Crossing my fingers for you and all the other tent vendors!

I've got muse artwork up the wazoo sweets that I wouldn't mind being used as wallpapers. Want me to send you anything?

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

I can't say yes fast enough! Go ahead and submit two to the September issue - I'll move them to August: http://emg-zine.com/submitart.php

okay I'll pull the files out, they're around here somewhere.

And have you tried using icy hot on your neck? My hands lock up really badly all the time because of the arthritis and that icy hot really does do wonders for easing pain.

There go, sent in two of them. Ah... one of them is long format? Which isn't very wallpaper friendly, but I don't mind having it cropped.

I wish I had either a muse or a blade picture to submit, but alas! Do you have the rest of the year's zine themes up anywhere? I only saw them up to August's.

**stay safe hon**

I have neither muses nor blades of any use or respectability whatsoever.

And DreamHost? is pretending? it knows nothing about Fantastic Portfolios. Is it in CA? Did the quake of the day pester DH?

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

DH is in CA and I think the earthquake may have buggered things up. EMG is down, too. Rargh!

So you're getting all our rain, huh? :)

We've been surrounded by fires down here, so I'd be OK with some flooding... Have fun at the fair!
