lots of words

good day to you all

so yesterday I woke up only to find that most of the lights in our apartment had burned out...I swear i think our sockets or outlets or whatever they are just "burn hotter" than they are supposed to, our lights are always burning out...

so why am I giving you this pointless information....because of all the lights being burned out, that made taking new photos of pieces to list on etsy...well, just impossible.

So today, I will be taking a million photos and listing a boatload on etsy, we have the mean cheese this weekend so there will be no "work" time for me.

I also really, really, really wanted to thank everyone for their comments yesterday, it really means a lot. My mom and I have had our fair share of issues in the past and there were times when I have sworn off her completely...but the past few years have really opened my eyes to so many things.

She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer almost 3 years ago, she beat it, but it was still in many ways a wake up call...more so I think for me than her.

My mother, in all her ways...just wants to love me, that's all nothing more and nothing less...my problem is letting her love me. I used to think my problem was letting myself love her, but I don;t think that's it, I think I just need to let her love me, the way she can.

I think I will write her a letter, and send her a little package of stuff...though even typing this I know just that process will be hard for me, letting her in, letting her see that vulnerability that I try so very hard to hide.

wish me luck.

ok, wow again this post is all over the place, that's what I get for sitting down to blog with no clear idea in my head about what to write about...

I do need to say a bunch of stuff that I know no one cares about but me.....but I need to get it out.

What a bid week in my little world of comics....sigh...I know, I know I am a huge geek, but please I have not gotten a new fashion magazine in ages (like almost a week)...

ok so there are only two more issues of Strangers In Paradise left before it is done forever, I really, really don't think I can handle it, every time it comes in I start crying before I even open the book, needless to say the book it all heart wrenching and intangible ache at this point...damn Terry Moore for being so talented.

also.....in the DC Comics world....F*#K!!! They killed off Isis in 52....I am not happy.

oh and in the Marvel universe, they killed off Captain America, which has been all hyped in all the damn newspapers, I believe the local paper out here actually somehow tied the death of Captain America in with America's War on Terror...like it was damn Osama that shot him...whatever, I know he's not dead, and technically I don;t even like him, but come on!!!

ok, I am done with the comic stuff, thanks for reading it, but I just have to get it out or else it will make my head actually explode.

And, last but not least...I am at 749 sales in my Etsy Shop, which means my 750th sale will be getting not one, but two free art cards (they are a set and they are adorable), so whoever buys the 750th piece sold will get extra goodies.

I like to give stuff away, it makes me feel like Elvis when he would give away Cadillacs...

ok, that is enough ramble for this morning, thank you all for listening/reading...I love each and everyone of you for it, if I met you in "real life" I would give you each a big squeeze and kisses.

the piece I am featuring today is a new Marilyn Collage...it is Called "This Was All She Wanted"
