Today is starting rather slow, but will end hectic, so I am letting it.

I HAVE moved the black boxes cluttering my hallway upstairs to where they can be useful already today, so that is a little bit done.

And I have printed out the handouts for this evening. Hope I don’t run out. Next I have to collect the books I want to take and wash the clothes I want to wear.

And get away from the links my loving husband sends me so that I can DO those things! 😉

Updated the RieWriter website today, so that is a bit of writing done too. Why, practically everything I am doing fits into one goal or another. Isn’t that odd? 😛

I realized, however, that I didn’t factor in my artistic side (yeah, some people count writing as artistic, but that’s my JOB, y’know?) in my planning. So, I will probably reserve Saturdays for jewelry, photography, and so forth. I am quite pleased with some of the pieces I’ve come up with so far in the jewelry game, but I haven’t worked up the nerve to actually post them to my Etsy store yet. What do you guys think of these?

I need better photos for Etsy, I know…and my gluework is still not very polished, but I like some of the designs. Especially the first one, that I call “Winter Time” (the disk is about 3″ in diameter.)

But enough digression. Jewelry is for Saturdays! Now I must go do laundry for tonight. Will update if there is progress. 😉

Oh! Before I go — I almost forgot again, and I want to get this taken care of…

My wonderful Sister-from-Another-Mother Wynelda Deaver over at Wynwords nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award:

I was humbled and honored. Thanks, Sis!

The way this works, apparently, is:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award — just did

3. Link the person who nominated you for the award — check above

4. Nominate 7 bloggers

5. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominated

6. Post 7 random things about you.

Here are my seven nominations with their links:

Now, 7 random things about me…

1) I like the Bollywood films I have seen, and want to see more!

2) My favorite movie of all time is The Crow. I now own it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray.

3) I have signed James O’Barr sketches decorating my office (see above…)

4) I secretly want to write a mystery if I can ever figure out how to plot one.

5) I played a male halfling rogue in a D&D adventure that lasted over several years. He was my favorite RPG character ever.

6) I collect keychains, coins, and autographs.

7) I would love to do more theater again, as I have a degree in Pre-Professional Technical Theater and about twenty-thirty years community theater experience.

There! Got it done. Now to go inform my nominees. 🙂
