Ideas are swirling...

A few weeks ago I had wandered into the local Bead Store. It's a wonderful place and I've bought beads from them before. I noticed an advertisement for workshop/class about working with Precious Metal Clay. A fast easy way to make silver and other precious metal jewelry.

I didn't have the $99 to take the class, but I started looking up information about it online, including the pricing for the medium and firing kilns. What fun!! I think I'll try my hand at making silver jewelry. Something I could do at home and supplement my income.

Misc ramblings

Here I was getting all worried about the timing of my harvest in FarmVille, that silly game on Facebook. But I wasn't taking into account the fact that I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon.. this worked to my favor, I'm wide awake at nearly 10 pm and harvest time will be around 10:35.

I've been getting some emails from Aaron, the warrior poet. The man that makes me think.. the one who gives great shoulder massages, that work out the knots in my right shoulder. He sends me political stuff.. the most recent one he was talking about putting the money on the state level... I'm still VERY skeptical about our state government. They don't use the money the way they say they were going to, but it's definitely better than giving it to the govt on the national level.

But this means I'm getting all riled up. lol

Aaron is good for my brain.

New thoughts, new ideas..

When at the bead shop the other day I noticed an ad for an upcoming precious metal clay workshop. I would have loved to go to it, but at nearly $100 it was out of my price range. I decided that I would just look into buying the needed supplies and self teach myself. I love working with clay - either modeling or for pottery, so making things out of precious metal clay would be fun!

I could make jewelry and what not and enjoy every minute of it!! I think I need to sit down and talk with Mollie.. she's worked with silver, so she would be a good source of information. I don't know if it was with PMC, but I think it might have been.

It's September!!

Summer is almost over, school for my youngest starts next week. I'll finally have my mornings to myself again.

My divorce is not any closer to being final... I'll be looking into ways to get it finalized and get the jerk to fork out some of the money he owes me! He is paying child support now.. at least he has paid a couple of months worth so far. I need to watch the mail for the guardian ad litem's monthly billing. See if she has had any luck getting into contact with him.

I'll be filing for maintenance... I'll have to get a court order and all that fun stuff again, but I'll just mail the stuff to his work to get it to him. I'm tired of the games and if push comes to shove I'll try to get a court appointed lawyer. I feel like he's dragging this on to punish me, but I'm not allowing myself to be punished.

He was the one who wanted the divorce, why won't he just let me go??
