Final Countdown!

That's right, in just over 12 hours I'll be checking into Womens' Hospital of Texas for my surgery tomorrow. I'm anxious about the results but not the actually surgery. I'm ready to get this chapter of my life over!

Of course, after tonight I won't be able to post for a few days. And even if I could I'll be so drugged up who knows what I would write, LOL! As soon as I'm able to get online I will post to let everyone know that I'm still alive and kicking. Well, probably not kicking for a few weeks but maybe moaning or some such activity.

Meanwhile, for your reading pleaseure, two more of my articles are submitted to Handmadenews.org. One about care and prevention of tendonitis for crafters and Part II of my Obsessive Crafter series. They're probably be publised sometime this week.

Meanwhile, take care and I'll talk to ya soon!

Are You an Obsessive Crafter?

Take the quiz and found out if you have the symptoms of obsession!

Lots of sales!

Who would ever think it? The last couple of weeks I've made several sales both in my Artfire and Etsy shops. What's funny is that I haven't had time to list much and I haven't bothered promoting my shops because I've been so busy with Handmade News and plain old energy conservation because of my medical condition and my surgery in 2.5 days.

So just when you start to place your energies elsewhere, bammo! Things start picking up. Handmade News is exciting and I know that I've had several references to my Artfire shop from my articles. This makes me very interested to continue writing for them, however, it's a lot of time and energy and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to maintain this schedule. I'm hoping that my recovery will allow me to regain my old energy levels and this will no longer be a concern.

Now it's hurry up and wait time.

What a week!

I spend all day yesterday pre oping for my surgery next week. I got to have my blood drawn, poked, prodded and taken for hundreds of dollars; and I haven't even had the surgery yet! Another wonderful aspect - the pills are so strong that I've been nauseated for days as if I were pregnant and now the bleeding has started getting heavier again. Sigh...even my doctor said, "It's almost over, just another week." That's right the countdown is: 5 days! Surgery time is 1:30 pm. I appreciate everyone's support and prayers and I will give updates as I can.

On the happier side of things, my Star Trek Quiz is the #3 most viewed article on Handmade News right now and ranked in the top ten most popular! As of this morning it has over 580 hits in less than 5 days! Thanks everyone that has stopped by to check it out and I hope you enjoyed the quiz. While it's mainly for fun I dis my best to make it as coherent and accurate as possible. I love sci-fi and have seen every Star Trek episode and movie. I attempted to incorporate my knowledge of the series and if you're a fan as well you probably caught the in-jokes that I added. If not then one of them was Kirk's favorate color green since one of the big Kirk jokes is that he had relationship with a green woman during one episode, LOL!

Have a great Memorial weekend!
