Transferring to new laptop & waiting for Baby

Baby Raisin

Which comes first, the baby or the laptop?

Things have been a little hectic around the Kitty household these days. **Baby Raisin is due to appear any day now. In preparation of my staying with Jennie & Brian the first couple weeks after Raisin’s birth, I bought a new laptop and am tediously trying to get everything work related from desktop to the laptop. I’m also trying to clear my palette of current projects before I leave. Ack!

Of course every day that passes is another day closer. hurryhurryhurry… and since it’s a 3-4 hr drive to Babyland, once we get The Call from Jennie, we’re outta here! There’s a lot of “hopefully(s)” that come to mind. Hopefully it won’t be during rush hour in Chicago. Hopefully it won’t be in the middle of the night and we can’t take the dogs in for boarding until they open… hopefully it won’t be a super-fast, extraordinary-for-first-baby delivery (sorry Jennie) (for you I hope it will be)… and on and on.

Ultimately it all doesn’t matter. What matters is the birth of our first granddaughter. The health of our daughter & baby. The miracle of birth. Is there really anything else?

**When Jennie found out she was pregnant, the baby books said baby was about the size of a raisin—hence the name “Baby Raisin.”  And since Jennie & Brian won’t reveal the name they have chosen for her she remains Baby Raisin. Hubby says he’s going to call her that anyway, regardless.

Getting impatient… finger tapping

5 Comments

I’m in one of those occasional holding patterns waiting for current clients & a couple of new clients to send me their info. Yup, sent out reminders & am getting positive answers— “working on it right now!” “OH, definitely want to proceed!”— but it’s not happening fast enough. I’m on a roll, I need to keep moving.

I suppose I could use this time to redo Ink2Art. Ideas have been percolating in my head for a couple of weeks now. Some of you may relate to the desire of wanting to redo your business site/portfolio, yes? Kind of  like rearranging the furniture in your living room, just want a change.

Granted, I have a billion business cards with my current design on them and a couple of t-shirts. No biggie I suppose. Heck, I still have one of my first business cards from about 10 yrs ago! Pretty funny looking now.

Maybe I’ll get out of the office for awhile, we’re having a heat wave today—60 degrees. woohoo.

Dog flatulence… not me, it’s the chair!

6 Comments

Rosie has some serious gas tonight. In fact she’s so melodic she’s scaring herself.

She loves sitting in Grampa’s chair but tonight she thinks the chair is evil. While she was sleeping, she passed a triple syllable, loud & squeaky *pfffft* of gas, causing Jim & I to both look over at her. She was staring at her butt, trying to figure out what happened, and jumped off of the chair. She sat by me for quite awhile and continued to stare at the chair. She doesn’t trust it now, seriously.

She’s somewhat of a fraidy cat, scared of random things… lamps, boxes, baby gates… just about anything that’s out of the ordinary (ya, big mean ol’ bulldog). So when something apparently tried to pop her in the rear-end on the chair, must have been the chair.

So she’s been pacing, looking at the chair, coming back to lay by me and “pfffft’ing” frequently. They usually doesn’t make any noise but they are deadly. I think her tummy is a little upset. Should probably let her outside again.
Poor baby.

Valid Art Links

Leave a Comment

At the very least, I do validate the topsy turvy links on the linkola page of Art Beat Street once in awhile. Surprisingly not too many disappear. One site that was very disappointing to me was the Glubibulga (slap-press) site who greeted me with an odd sex/porn type o’ ad overlaw. Huh? I just revisited and it’s not there… maybe it’s a one time cookie thing, who knows.

I realize there’s a bazillion more artists and sites and collectives, but a few years ago I guess I just gave up. Especially when so many of the new sites have groovy thumbnails & such, ya know? I wouldn’t mind doing an interview on occasion, so I’m not ruling that out… in fact, I think I just had a little lite bulb appear above my head… hmm. We shall see. Maybe it’s just like that other idea I’ve been pondering…

I dunno, do you think the site is still useful? Even if a little antiquated?

Food Gods Gone Wild

blechI don’t know what the deal is lately… are my Taurean stars aligned to the left of the Goddess Ceres? or am I in a retrograde love/hate relationship with the Angry Food Deity? I can’t stop eating this week! I have no idea why. I am possessed. Searching for that magical food that will satiate me longer than an hour. Of course, I don’t buy things that would probably do the trick – no sweets, no big fluffy cupcakes, no ice cream—I guess that’s a good thing.

So I eat a piece of yummy bread w/PB & bananas… have another yogurt… slurp on a few more SF popsicles. Grab another mozzarella stick. Apple? oh I s’pose, might as well chomp that sucker down too.

It’s not so much the content as the action. The wanting to eat. See? If I had my damn edamame beans it would be a no brainer. Nope, still not available.

Oh well, this too shall pass… right? Like, before I gain a kazillion pounds?!
(Yes, I am exercising – so maybe I’ll just gain 1/2 a kazillion lbs)
