omg...how the hell did this happen so quickly? I have so much on my mind that I haven't been able to break any of it into words. It's a bit frustrating. Let me first tell you of my last week of '06. IT WAS HELL!! Hmm...I guess I can do this best by listing all that has happened
1. WORK WAS BUSY AS HELL-WORKED ON XMAS EVE
2. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $300 FOR MIKE'S FIRST SEMESTER TUITION
3. FOUND OUT HUBBY'S BEING LAYED-OFF END OF THIS MONTH
4. FOUND OUT THAT OUR CAR INSURANCE IS GOING TO DOUBLE BECAUSE MIKE NOW DRIVES
5. CUT MYSELF AT WORK (WHICH REQUIRED A VISIT TO URGENT CARE, A 1 1/2 HOUR WAIT FOR THE DOCTOR-NO STITCHES, THANKFULLY,-AND...AND A TETANUS SHOT!!! (FREAKING SHOT HURT MORE THAN THE DAMN CUT!!)
6. SEVERE WRITERS BLOCK (HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING NEW IN ALMOST TWO MONTHS)
7. WENT TO 29CLUB AND CASINO IN PALM SPRINGS...DIDN'T WIN JACK!
8. BEEN GOING TO THE GYM EVERYOTHER DAY (heh-something positive)
9. FOUND OUT THAT MY ANNUAL REVIEW WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE "HIGHER" PAID MANAGERS. (SO, WHY THE FUCK DO I WORK SO DAMN HARD, EXACTLY?)MY RAISE IS NOW IN QUESTION....
10. FOUND OUT FROM DEAR JAMES THAT A FEW OF MY PIECES MADE IT INTO "FLOWERS AND VORTEXES" (thank you)
New List....
1. WORKED ON NEW YEARS DAY (AFTER STAYING UP TOO LATE AND HAVING WAAAAAAYY TOO MUCH TO DRINK) Can you say fish out of water? lol
2. JUST FOUND OUT THAT GETTING INSURANCE FOR THE FAMILY THROUGH MY COMPANY WILL BE RELIEVING ME OF MORE THAN A THIRD OF MY PAYCHECK EVERY TWO WEEKS!!! OMFG!
3. GOT THE WRIST RECHECKED...THANKFULLY, NO PERMANENT NERVE DAMAGE, BUT FOUND OUT I'D BRUISED MY BONE SO I'M GOING TO BE FEELING TENDERNESS IN THAT AREA ANYWHERE FROM 3-6 MONTHS (OH, JOY!)
4. STILL GOING TO THE GYM, BUT ONLY TILL VALENTINES DAY COZ 24 HOUR FITNESS ARE A BUNCH OF FATHEADS AND REFUSED TO LET MY HUBBY PAY THE FEES ON HIS OWN TERMS. STUPID ASSES LOST ALMOST TWO GRANDE! WHATEVER!
5. STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY REVIEW-MAY NEED TO START LOOKING INTO ANOTHER JOB
6. WORK IS STILL AS BUSY AS EVER(I know I'm doing something right, coz one of my regular customers came in yesterday and place a $400 order. Isn't the holiday season over already?)
7. OH!! I HAVE STREP THROAT.
8. I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WRITE. *sigh* I have inclings, but nothing substantial yet. *tear*
KICK ME WHEN I'M FUCKING DOWN!!!
Ugh...maybe now that I've purged, I'll do better. I hate bitching. It does nothing for me, but make me feel ugly.
I'M GOING TO THE GYM!!!! I'll end this by saying all the shit happened already. THE REST OF THIS YEAR WILL BE MAGNIFICENT!!!!! (Right, Lord?) Yes....it will... :-)

It seems you had quite an year ending....well now we have to leave it all behind and look forward to a fresh start....and lets all hope that this year is filled with happiness and prosperity...on this note do drop by my blog sometime and enjoy all that's there...have a good time!!!
you seriously need to schedule time for writing too. I mean if you are disciplined enough to hit the gym regularly then certainly you can do the same for writing. Mental health is as important as the others and being a writer as you are your mental health will suffer if you stay away too long. Get priorities in gear, having said that I must add that your words in the latest issue of f&v are incredible. they seem so written to the content and mood of the mag. james did an awesome job, it's an honour to share space with you. Now set aside twenty minutes per day and write until your fingers bleed.
I agree. Your work matched the content very well. And I also agree that you must take his advice. And write! "write until your fingers bleed." indeed. lol!
Hi Sean, Thanks for visiting. I'll be sure to check it out.
Dave, James...I love you guys. I do sit and attempt to write ANYTHING as a matter of fact. I've a trillion pieces of paper with scribblings and scratch marks to prove it. My thoughts are just so muddled, I can't focus. I did have a small visit from my muse...hopefully something grand will come of it. You are the best. Perhaps, in a later blog, I'll write about what else has been happening. Until then, I'm thinking happy thoughts!
