I wonder, I wonder, I wonder

I really needed rain boots. I walk my daughter to school every day and it is usually raining. So I went out and got rain boots. But I'm not normal when it comes to things I like. So I got these rain boots.

My husband hasn't seen them yet. And I'm willing to bet he will hate them. I will probably get a lecture about acting my age and being an adult. To which I will just stick out my tongue and skip away.

I hope it rains today so I can wear the boots on my walk. Now I just need to find a rain hat. Hmmm.

Make It Happen

It was a fun little show. I will be keeping an eye on them and watching how they grow. I got some comics while there and also some sketches. I did buy 1 sketchbook by Bruce Bogle.

I ran into Brian while I was there and he convinced me to buy The Originals by Dave Gibbons and Creature Tech by Doug TenNapel. He is sure that I'll love both of these books. I trust him when it comes to things I'll like. He hasn't been wrong yet.

Is it bad that my almost 6 year old daughter wanted this drawing? I wanted it too so I got it. Ben Hanson did this and a few others that I got today.

Current Mood: tired

Let Me Go Home

I am headed off to a doctors appointment for Anthony( my baby). We need to go to downtown Seattle for his post-op exam. I hate driving in downtown Seattle. But I hate taking the bus with a cranky 2 year-old more. I know the doctor is going to take 2 minutes to look at him and then say he seems fine I'll see you in a month or two. I will have taken 2 hours out of my day for a visit that will last all of about 2 maybe 3 min.

I'll just have to stop off and get myself a nice latte. I deserve a nice little something.

No news on my comic today I honestly haven't had time. Yes I realize I could be working on it right now but were is the fun in that.

I am on schedule to go to Bell Con 2007 this Saturday. I am making it a family trip and in the process I'm blowing off a cub scout training thing I need to do. They have another one next month on the 11. But I'm wanting to go to the Portland Comic Show.

When I Get Home

I think I might be a little crazy. I have 3 things planned today and that just can't be good. I hope to work on my writing tonight. I just hope I get the chance to breathe and maybe eat a little something. Anyway, I have a lot more stuff to do tomorrow so today should be a breeze.

I have been busy updating my computer all day and I am really starting to hate this damn thing.

Suburbia

See I'm back now. Sorta. I am cleaning in my home office and I finally found the cable I needed to connect directly to the stupid modem(the wi-fi card is all fucked up). Anyway I am online for the moment. I have been trying to get things organized and it has been going pretty good. I want to get the house and the garage done so I can focus on my writing without guilt.

I have done a bit of rewriting on what I have done already and I have been trying to get a better outline done up for the whole thing. See I have been thinking about it.

I had said I would post photos of the camping trip I took way back in August. While i finally have my camera and computer working so there it is. There are a few more pictures if you click on it.

Dumb

OK I just got info on the friend who lost his leg.

In a drunken stupor (didn't I say I thought beer was involved) my friend decided to walk across the highway. He relied on a brain damaged drunk friend to tell him it was clear. Well, it wasn't! Pedestrian vs 55mph car! Another friends dad was on duty(he's a police officer) but it wasn't his precinct. He did however loan his camera to that department and have to talk to the EMS crew that handled it. He never heard the name and definitely couldn't recognize him in the picture. Well, the EMS told my friends dad that he was embedded in the windshield of the car and they didn't even know how to start peeling him off. His leg was twisted up, around, and over his head. He lost his leg. They had to amputate just below the knee. He is now a peg leg pirate, practically a childhood dream for him. Other than that, he seems to have no lasting trauma. (He's OK in the head, sort of) Unbelievable. None of the people at the scene, including my friends dad, thinks he should have been alive.

This explains why I haven't heard from my peg legged pirate friend in a year(this apparently happened early this year).

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry.

The Trick Is to Keep Breathing

I've been gone for a while due to issues that concern my family. I'm still working through these and I hope to be fully back in a little while.

I have had a lot happen in a short amount of time and I am just now getting it together. So of course news comes today that a friend of mine lost his leg in a car accident. I'll post more when I get more info.

Let me give you a quick recap of the month I've had since my last post. Here it goes.....

My baby (OK, He's almost 3) had surgery last week, my husband and I are off and on so much my head hurts, my sister has been in and out of the hospital, my great nephew was hit by a car while riding his bike, a niece is missing , a best friend and her daughter have gone missing as well and then today I find out that a friend was hit by a car trying to run across the highway. Knowing my friend, I am thinking beer was involved somehow.

This is why I have gotten nothing done on my comic and why I've been gone.

I am seriously thinking of running away to someplace warm and sandy.
