Things

[cupcake_goth]

- The auction for the Jacket of Coveting has not yet climbed out of my price range. ::makes covetous, grabby-hands motions at the monitor::

- Writing is ... going slowly, but starting to happen again. I need to make my list of projects that need to happen. Perhaps the first one should be a new GCS column. Or a review, because I adored cmpriest's Bloodshot, and want to tell the world.

- Another project I need to return my attention to is sorting and taking photos for a clothing sale, which will include Bags Of Mystery! this time. I need to do this partially because I'm in debt to the house, partially because I want to start setting aside money for the tattoo that will be in memory of Mom, and partially because I am in the beginning of a decluttering epiphany/freakout. So! Watch this LJ! Many shiny, frilly, velvety things, soon to be for sale.

- Oh, and yet another project: I need to order the spikes so I can customize another pair of shoes, this time taking photos so I can write up a tutorial for GCS. (And then probably auction off the finished shoes.)

- Plus, y'know, dayjob.

In other words, I'm keeping busy. And getting ambushed by things that remind me of Mom, but that's to be expected.

Oooo! Culling sale! Yaaaaay! All for a good cause.

Picking out a memorial tattoo can be hard work. I know I am still dithering over which one to get in memory of my dad, and he passed last June. Do you have any ideas of what you might get?

*hugs*

My Mom's favorite place on earth was the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Therefore, the basis will be the HM wallpaper, and the Stroppy One will design something.

Re: decluttering epiphany/ freakout... its funny, but I recently realized I do this whenever I need to assert control over my universe. So now whenever I get upset by circumstances beyond me, I clean my kitchen/ sewing area/ closets. It does seem to help.

Aw, thank you ma'am!
I'm so glad you dug it, and thanks for the plug :)

Dearest Lady, I'm a long-time reader of GCS and your journal, first-time commenter, and I wish you to know that you and your family have been in my thoughts. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've been a true inspiration to this little snarkling, and know that we all love you very much.
I send you all sorts of strength-y type thoughts to help you make it through this tough time. <3 All the best.

Keeping busy helps me through my traumatic experiences.

In case you have not already discovered it.. I found a site I thought you might enjoy as much as I do. *smile*

Beware of coveting, though.

I have the "Things that remind me moments" about my dad a lot, I can't listen to Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd without getting misty eyed (or completely cry). I would sing it with my dad when I was a little girl, while he played it on his guitar.

It never really goes away, you'll always have that place when you wish they were there. It gets easier with time. Remembering them keeps just a little part of them alive, I like to think so, at least.

Yes, it is to be expected. But that doesn't mean you have forgotten, or that you are doing her memory ill by occasionally putting something aside.

*hugs*
