This new year has brought many challenges and rewards already. Just this past weekend we found out that the local mice had found a way into our home. I have also been dealing with figuring out tax liscenses and such to a frustrating level. I've had to hold my website rebuild on almost indefinite hold while the hosting service i switch to fixes everything.
i have also found that i am trying to clear all the clutter away from my life. first by getting rid of all things i dont wear or use anymore. And then secondly selling all my artwork that is taking up space.

I have left Livejournal
As the title above states, I have left livejournal and brought everything over to blogger. For various reasons really but mostly because blogger is easier to edit and manage and I already have my art blog here. This blog will be my ramblings about my general life and while it will have updates on my art it will not be centered around that. This will also contain my point of view on books, movies, comic, life, and other general stuff.
That being said for any who read this welcome.

I've Updated my gallery <a href="http://hybridfaerie.deviantart.com/">hybridfaerie.deviantart.com/</a> It has lots of new pictures up and is all snazzy. Had to have the brakes and such done on my car today, cost me a pretty good size bundle too.....but i'm going to use that as incentive to try and find a part time job that has better hours then what i've gotten at the school i work at. in other news i had a really good corn chipotle bisque soup....it was spicy but not overly spicy. it also rained really well today, right as i was picking my car up from the brakes people. i have so much to do and so little time, but i hope cross fingers that i'll be able to get a website up by the 16th.....hopefully

So disney was great but the highlight of my trip was star wars weekend. I had never been and while i have been a fan of the movies, the past year or so i have really got into the whole universe and such reading comics and books. {the new jedi order made me cry with the chewy story line]. I wasn't able to get any of the fast past tickets to see the actors or go to the q&a with them later on but i still enjoyed it and i got photos with all my favorite sith guys [couldn't find obi-wan]. I also spent a small fortune in the tusken traders shop after we rode the star wars ride at the holywood studios. my obi-wan lightsaber rocks. I really want to go back next year, but that will have to be something I will have to pay for and trips to disney can be very expensive. I wish that i had bought a vader saber and a jedi cloak too but i couldn't be spending that much money. Other than starwars disney was fun and the food was great but the weather was really odd. We were rained out for the first three days, and then it was sweltering heat on the fourth, and rainy one our last day. It rained so bad at holywood studios one night that the drain covers were actually popping up and down in the flooded streets.www.flickr.com/photos/hybridfaerie has photos from my trip

It started to lighting and thunder last night and then the sky opened up and let the hail fall. And were not talking normal size hail for colorado like little balls, were talking almost golf ball size and gale force winds. It ripped tree limbs and leaves, covering our yards in debris. It also managed to destroy my garden, i think the only thing that will be saved are my herbs and such. which is very sad for me considering i had tomatoes, spagetti squash, strawberries, onions, bell peppers, okra, raddish, corn, and my herbs [spearmint, basil, dill, rosemarry and sage].
i couldn't clean all that up until i had finished cleaning the carpets and my mom's room at the school we work at. The place that they moved her was flooded and the carpets were soaked with standing water, all her furniture and books got wet, and some of her classroom materials were ruined.
So basically i cleaned carpets, moved furniture, and then proceded to rake both front and back yards and pack up at least 18 bags of leaves. i'm tired and tomarrow i get to take the kids from my work to the pool...blalalshshshgghgh.

i'll be going on a trip to walt disney world and wont be back until next tuesday. As i sit and type this i'm actually trying to hold a panic attach at bay. i think its because everything has been going on all at once and i really haven't had a chance to breath or relax much. Summer classes have started up, my mother recently graduated from red rocks, my sister just graduated form a-west. their has been a lot of changes at work with more to come, and havn't gotten the feeling of pressure off of me yet.....i'm sure i'll have an anxiety attack before we leave for the airport and i'll freak out before take-off and landing. And then theirs all the stuff my parents have planned.
should not have had qudoba for dinner, the heart burn is killing me.....
i keep saying a little mantra in my head 'you've been to disney world, you dont have to ride anything you dont want to, you can do this and you will do this' it seems to be helping. of course it wont be any better when i get down their but i'll let my parents know so that they can keep an eye on me, and i can go back to the hotel room when ever i want, so i'm hoping all will be good.
when i get back i plan on updating my gallery and then doing nothing for awhile because i know i'll need a breather.
if this is how i'm acting now i dont want to know what i'll be like around graduation.

its been a very productive week for me. I've gotten a bunch of work done not only for finals but for other things as well. I finished my pirate painting for Dave, and i'm almost done with my santa painting which means 2 down 2 to go. I'm also very near to finishing my frog prince stuff. All that will be left it finishing my website mock up and my landscape paintings and then i'll be ready for finals. got to go peel potatoes for family i dont want to be around so that i can finish my paintings....happy easter

Well, lets see I have my website for my webclass done. Now i just need to find a host and domain site for it. I'm done with the dummy book for my childrens illustration class and 90% done on the final illustration. life painting i have 2 paintings to finish, one is 75% done and the other is 50% done. i'm hoping to finish them by wednesday morning. And then landscape painting i need to fix some things on my fangorn painting, and then i cans start on my final painting which i'm gonna use one of my red rocks pictures for...perhaps make that a tattooine painting? And then i'll be done and i might actually go to bed before midnight on thursday night if all goes well.
Easter was ok, family was loud and i ended up moving all my art supplies to the garage to work so that my nephews wouldn't get in the way. After i get all my school stuff out of the way i plan on doing a bunch of personal art and if i can rig it some commision work. Dad wants another santa painting but this is one of a fellow santa that teaches a santa school. He wants it as a thank you gift. I also need to clean out my room majorly and get ready to move this art holder furniture thingy that i'm getting from my work once school is out for summer. And then the house could use some cleaning so....i'm gonna be busy until summer classes start. but such is life
