Almost thanksgiving!

So, I have once again been a hard core slacker.  In reality, I stopped writting my novel, it was the 3rd in the series, and...it just wasnt there yet.  I realized I need to edit my first 2 in order to write number 3.  So, epic fail on my part.  I knew I should of written about my cat and my mice!  Haha.

I have been spending like 4/7 nights over at my guys house.  Its been fun.  His kids really like me and Blake and Blake really likes them, so atleast Blake has has some kids to play with.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday.  My top 2.  It wasnt surgical (They were already grown in) so it was somewhat cheap!  Like $116 for 2 teeth, that was including Nitro gas!  Next tuesday my bottom two come out.  Those should be easier, becasue in all reality, my top 2 were decaying, and parts were missing.  I really thought they would of had to go in and cut them out.  But, it only took 5 minutes a tooth.  And I dont know, I wish I would of asked to keep my teeth, they looked horrifying!  Like, The roots were sooooo long, and curved!  If you turned them upside down, they really and truly looked like an animal tooth, kind of like a tiger tooth or something.  Yes, they were curved.  Other people said theres were long, but looked normal.  Maybe the way mine were was the reason I have been getting horrible headaches latley.  Other than my teeth looking horrible and wanting to get them fixed so I dont look ridiculus, my main reason for needing my wisdom teeth out NOW was becasue I was getting HORRIBLE headaches.  And yes, I KNOW it was from my wisdom teeth.

So, 2 of my wisdom teeth are gone.  I didn't get any meds for it, they just told me to take tylenol, which is okay becasue I wouldnt of taken the meds anyway.  I just avoided sneezing right now (they told me to bc the teeth go into your nasel cavity)  And it doesnt really hurt, in all reality, it itches like all heck.  But I cant itch my gums.  Other than that, I still cant really eat.  I ate a popsicle, but I'm getting hungry :(

On better note, I got the coolest gauges ever!  They are Xero from The Nightmare Before Christmas!  I love them, thanks to Giovanna Coraggio!  Shes on vacation right now but heres her etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/giovannacoraggio .  And her facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Glacier-Bay/Ms-Plug-It-Body-Jewelry/116802625027051?v=wall

And excuse the swollen face, but I couldnt wait for pictures, so here are some pictures of my gauges!  They stretched my ears a little bit, but it takes away from my gum pain.

Slacker

I have been such a slacker latley.  Like really.  I havent been updating this much.  I havent been working on my Novel, which im only 7k+ words into, out of atleast the 16k I should be at.  I havent been on etsy or ebay much.  I have just been freaking lazy!

And theres a few reasons for this.  So somebody, smack me into place.

1.  Everyone around me has been sick.  My son, my parents, the guy I am seeing, people at work.  Yes, I have been able to avoid this virus everyone has been getting.

2. I am seeing someone.  He's really col, but maybe I should stop spending so much time with him.  I really like hanging out with him, but I have been slacking hard core.  I need to get everything caught up first, right?

3.  My best friend.  Becasue I have been kind of blowing her off latley for the guy I am seeing.  So when I AM home, I am with her.

I need to clean this house so bad, to get rid of these germs.  I need to catch up on my novel becasue I will probably punish myself for the rest of forever If I do not finish it, even if it doesnt have a point.  I use to be a writer, I lost inspiration, so I need to get myself into the writting habbit again.  I need to work on my etsy shop to make it sucessful, becasue neglecting it isnt doing much to help me.  And I need to sell everything I don't need on ebay, for money and space purposes.

Halloween is done and gone, shopping season begins!

Did everyone have a good Halloween?  Mine was decent.  I worked from 5 am to 3 pm, but other than that it was good.  We didn't go to many houses becasue Blakes lazy bum didn't want to walk, so I had to stroll him around.  Not fun when you have bigger kids pushing you out of the way.  But it was pretty decent.

On my way to my cousins house, we saw this thing.  I think its a turkey hawk?  Whatever it was, it was HUGE.  And it was stomping on something...

Heres Blake's hair.  Yeah I know, the spray job is kinda crappy, but I did what I could:

And him in his costume:

Anyway, ebay keeps reminding me theres only 53 days until Christmas.  This year went by extremly fast!  I got some of Blakes shopping done already, but I need to get him more.  I do however plan to try to have all my shopping done by the end of this month.  What about you guys?  Do you get your shopping done early or wait til the last minute?  I usually wait, but ths year I will try something new.  Haha.

End of October

So, sales were sucky this month.  Hopefully they will pick up next month.  I'm really hoping.

Tuesday my son had ab MRI done.  They were thinking he was possibly autistic, and wanted to see if there was anything on his brain.  He is very slowly devloped, I know know why.  He's 2 and a half and is just NOW into the babbling stage.  In the past 3 monthes he finally was able to climb up and down stairs, yeah.  Well I got the results back today.  The Neurologist said the scan was mostly normal, except for a pea sized dot on it.  He's not quite sure what it is, and says it doesnt explain Blakes delay.  But he also said that the dot wasn't anything to be concerned about just yet.  So now I'm confused, if theres nothing wrong really wrong with my child, then whats wrong with him?  So now he needs bloodwork done, to see if theres anthing that can be explained there.

Anyway, anyone doing anything special for Halloween?  We are going trick or treating.  I'm going to be a mummy, and blake is going to be a dragon.  It will be fun.

End of October

I found a whole bunch of unfinished bracelets I've been working on for a month or so, they only needed to add beads tothe end to finish.  So I Had to buy beads, even though I didnt want to buy anything else for the rest of the month.  Now, I have 16 bracelets that I need to photograpy and list on etsy!

I can't believe we are almost done with October.  This month was the fastest yet.  So crazy!  Are you dressing up for Halloween?  I am!  As what, I don't know, but I AM!  I always do.  I'm a big kid at heart.  Halloween is my favorite day.  At first, I was going to be Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and make Blake Jack...but I couldnt find any Jack Costumes in Blakes size, so next year, maybe?  Hopefully!  So he will probably be a dragon.  I need to get on the whole shopping for a costume thing.  I looked at Walmart yesterday, and they didn't have anything good.  So I need to find him a dragon costume.  And me, I will probably be a fairy or pixie again, although I should probably find something diffrent since I've been a fairy since I was like 18.

What are you guys doing for Halloween?

Whats new?

Hey guys, whats new?  I havent been making too much over here latley, mostly becasue the lack of sales.  Maybe if I make something new, sales might go up, but I havent been feeling up to it.  Not sure why.

But I am not giving up, just taking a break on making things for a while.  I think I'm going to spend the rest of the month promoting what I do have already.  Sunds good to me, right?

Oh, and I didn't get a chance to go to the post office on Friday, so I sent the give away packages out today.  So be expecting them in the mail :)

Since I have nothing new to share, I thought I would post what I have been hearting latley:

Etsy xPeppyandBellex

Well, I finished making the prizes for the give away winners, and I will most likely be mailing them off today.  Plus I had 1 order.  I'm feeling discouraged.  I've had a whole 3 orders this month.  And I've been selling on ebay and artfire.  Why!?  Is anyone else having a slow month?

I will be happy to sell $50 worth of stuff this month.  Hopefully next month is a better month.
