Wow, now I'm tired

I just went on a picture/Ebay bender.
I went through most of the pics I had left, of my friend's band, and some Ebay stuff, and I've got some necklaces up. I'm VERY nervous about them, but it's only costing me about $2.50 or so right now. So I think I'm OK. They came out nice, if I do say so myself. They're here if you're interested. Let me just warn the stupid, that running up my auctions will have me hunt you down, and put the hurt on you, seriously. And I have a list of probable antagonists, and I'm just going to smack EVERYONE I think might be involved, instead of actually FINDING the troublemaker, so make sure your friends know too *evil grin*

I'm sure I could put more up, but I saw something on LJ about "free Ebay listings" so I'm going to wait til later, if I have time. I have my difficult client today, and I've made promises I SHOULD be able to keep, but it's going to be a long day. I WILL be at ManRay tomorrow, I need to see my CB, and this is the only place he MAY show up, if he thinks he can take the break. I think I'm going to go harass him via email in a bit.

I think I'm going to sit back and see how things go with these. I can feel the financial vise clamping down, almost to the point of waiting on the ticket another week. BUT, I've already sent the payment to my credit card, and I don't need credit, I need cash to pay my car payment, so the damage is already done, so I'm GONNA buy it!

Today was oddly stressful, I had a LONG chat with a client. They're having a family bru-ha-ha, and it's escalating. The elderly parents worked hard to make this company, and if their kids are acting HALF as bad as they've said, I don't blame them for freaking. I'm just not getting along very well with the dad, although I like him, and he likes me. He just stresses too much about money, and sees me doing projects as him having to pay more money. I'm sorry, but I'm worth it, and the work needs to be done, better now than later. But he doesn't see that. My frustration spoke to me of tax season, and how I almost slit things last year, so I made an offhand comment to the son like "If this keeps up, I can't take it during tax season, is there something you can do?" Apparently the "something" was to yell at his dad that I was "quitting". I don't remember saying that, EVER, I said I might have to think about it, and I certainly wouldn't walk OUT, but just up and QUIT? So the old man gets upset, and more upset, and he lands in the hospital, and his kids don't care. I've never seen the "I don't care"side, I've seen "My dad should be home relaxing, not here doing too much." That's a far cry from the apparent "drop dead, I wish you were dead" that was being slung around this morning. I feel AWFUL if this was any way made worse by me. I'm going to have a short, sweet chat with the son next week, consisting of "I never said I was quitting, and I counted on you to help me. If you EVER put word in my mouth again, THAT is why I WILL walk out, right there and then."

*sigh* I'm not looking forward to that. So I'm going to bed, to dream of CB, and getting a chance to show him I give good snuggle.

GAH!

This just in - I'm OLDER than SPIKE!
Today is James Marsters birthday, and he's over a year younger than I.
*sigh* Ok I just reread that, James MARSDEN. Stupid = me. Carry on.

In other news - debating with people over whether or not one (meaning them) should vote is giving me a headache. I'm sorry, but ever since Lou enlisted, the idea of losing him has been at the back of my mind. And it tends to get me very RILED every time someone tramples on the rights, or privileges he could potential die to defend. No, the system isn't perfect, maybe we'd be better off in Europe. But I can think of at least a dozen places where being me, a loud, outspoken, pagan female is a DEATH sentence., and you know what? I'm kinda OK with things, of having the ability to help things change, should I so choose. And that MAN is getting me pissed off, and if I'M angry enough to volunteer for something, then he must be a very very bad man.

Bleh. Must get going, I have a book to mail, and lots of work to do today, and I'd like to come home and change, and shower before ManRay. Hmmm, CoatBoy!

oh HEY - The reduced prices on Ebay start TOMORROW! And it's not everything, they're reducing the Gallery fee to a penny. Can you say I need Thursday off??? *frantically arrainges schedule* I have one client, and hopefully lunch with elvendoll and if i can skip out the rest of the day (which I think I will) until Katie's candle party (at which I will be buying nothing *sigh*) and then after that as well. I can put up some more jewelry and the box of crap, I mean GREAT stuff I've pulled together. Yay!

I'm sorry, I'm getting all schmoopy

bear with me here.
I taunted him last night, about how I've been good, and I require a "fix" -

"I'll be there trying to dance away my problems. But I have an appointment at 08:00 in Boston so I may leave a tad early for my beauty sleep. Wouldn't
want me looking all ugly for the customers now would we?"

SCHMOOP! Planning on leaving client at reasonable hour, not getting done today what I wanted to, so F'EM! Must. Look. Cute. For. Dumb. Boy!

(warning - may get cutesy)
*sigh* he could NEVER be ugly. Unkempt *drool* but never ugly. The boy even wakes up cute. *giggle*
(end warning)

Ok, back to work so I can leave and schmoop in person.
