Hawk - :P

Fibula - Thanks. *Hug*

Stephen - *Hug!* I'd better not be in the same place as this when I'm 46! ::insert appropriately horrified look here::

Sharon - Where did you want to be?

Amos - Thanks muchly! Today I figured out how to prop the mic up so I can record the flute. Life is good. Now I just need to practice flute more, I didn't know I was that bad! *g*

Amergin - Awwww! Thanks. I sure hope so.

Liz - Yepper! Howling and then ACTION! I admit I have been procrastinating... you'll see why, below...

Website - I have things to sell on my website, however most of the things I sell aren't mine, I have one CD of kinda out-there piano, and what most of the people I know or talk to want is MY SINGING!

And I've been having serious technical difficulties, (Solved! Wheee!), and I still can't figure out a way to offer online sales without having a credit card. (Note: Suggestion taken about ebay's online store thing. I think it was kat who suggested that. I'm definitely checking it out.)

CD - one more month's work, at least 40 people times $10 profit = $400 or one month's expenses if I'm careful. And I have all the resources except stereo patch cords, and a midi keyboard large enough to use both hands at once. And it would be done!!!!!!

Jobs - I've been looking for "anything" and I can't get "anything". I just had a good long talk with a local friend about why that is...

Ok, confession time. Up until about 8 pm today, I didn't really want a job. I wanted one because I had to, not because I wanted to... and that's no use for me, because I was pretty much asking the universe to NOT give me a job. (Also, I really love what I'm doing right now, and wish I could get paid for it, but it's completely volunteer and there's no money in it at all.) Way to mess up the visualizations and the materializations thereof, eh?

Anyway, the friend and I had a good long talk, and he told me that since trying to get "anything" isn't working, maybe I should be more specific. Do some visualizations about what I do in fact WANT - which is a job I love, using skills I love, with great people, that I also happen to get *paid* for. And of course, to always leave my options open for something good to come in an unexpected form.

So, he's given me a whole list of local resources, told me what my skills look like to someone outside of myself... and really helped me to clarify what my goals are here. If there's nothing to aim for, there's no chance of hitting the target. Once there IS a target, I can definitely hit it, or at least form a plan to get in range. *Wink*

Chocolate - DEFINITELY! Let's all worship the Chocolate Goddess, in the dust of whose feet whirl chocolate sprinkles and cocoa powder...

Have you seen that ritualitic parody of "The Charge of the Goddess"? If you haven't, I'll have to post it. It's great even for non-Wiccans, as long as you love Chocolate - and I DO!!! It helps if you've read the stuff it's parodying, though, then it's really hilarious!

Guessed - Hmmm. There's a difference between oatmeal and porridge. The first is edible. The second thinks that spoons, furniture, pets, curtains, and humans are edible. I make oatmeal, and I make it good.

Guest - *Hug* (You look like you need one, too.)
