first post - tired

okay, a new forum! here I go!

Man, I'm tired.

Trying to get things updated on TheMasque The WIKTT Archives and posted all over the place is just exhausting. I feel like such a pushy broad when doing my update announcements for Tapestry and the site. I mean really now - how dare I assume that people want to read my drivel? Realistically, I know that if people are watching tapestry_fic and themasque that they actually do want to read my (and my website) drivel, but... *shrinks* I still can't help it. I am way too shy to do this on my own. For the site at least, we had a Town Crier who was going to do it, before other commitments got in his way, so it was tossed back in my lap. I really ,really, really need to find another Announcement Fairy to do this stuff - I can't market my own stuff properly. On the other hand, I also really need to grow up and learn to be a big girl and do it myself.

Life has been so slammed here recently. Between the holidays, working on the site, being irritated at my dear husband, trying not to kill the blonde, entertaining the snowbound blonde, Snowpocolypse '08, keeping the house clean by myself and working for a [very nice person], I've had no time to breathe, much less be creative.

I was SO proud to get a couple of gifts in the mail and all of the Christmas cards off three weeks late. Snow kept me homebound for two blessed weeks - sheesh - then just getting to work was an adventure after that. You try getting Christmas, cards, gifts and holiday cheer going properly when you can't drive anywhere. *shrieks*

I have three masks - one for Ellen Million and another thanfiction in my paint shop that are trying so hard to crack and drool in the weird temperatures. Holding them together is turning into an adventure *eyeroll*. I don't have high hopes for one of them not shattering on me before it's done. They'll get finished come hell or high water though, I'm hoping next week - and they'll be pretty, damn it. I'll take pictures when they aren't scary looking.

Carving out time to write is an adventure, too. Life seems to be getting in the way of that, too - plus, with this weather, I'm so tired all the time. I just want to curl up and hibernate. I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to!

On the other hand, I am so very, very blessed to have a wonderful, happy, healthy family and a healthy me. Others just aren't as lucky.
