A few days ago I felt like I was the main star in a horror movie!!! I dropped by my local Wal-Mart for a little grocery shopping and to pick up fabric for a client. I was looking for a very specific fabric I'd seen a few months earlier. I was delighted to find the fabric and took it to the fabric counter so it could be cut.
I told the sales associate that I wanted 1 yard of fabric and she obliged me. She was kind and courteous. She gently laid out the fabric, measured out 1 yard and then proceeded to cut it. Just to forewarn you the rest of the story is not for the faint of heart.
She took 2 cuts of the fabric and then stopped. I wondered what was wrong. Then I watched in horror as this woman began to butcher my fabric. She cut the fabric again and then attempted to forcibly push the open scissors through the fabric to cut it. She obviously thought that it was the type of fabric you could cut once and drag the scissors through to cut it. But that wasn't the case since this fabric was a blend of taffeta and velvet and couldn't be cut in this fashion. But this didn't stop her from trying .
So I watched in horror as she repeatedly would make 2 cuts and forcibly push the scissors through the fabric despite being met with resistance---over and over again. I almost wanted to jump out of my skin!!!!! At one point I gently mentioned that it probably wasn't going to cut very easily with that method. She sorta agreed and kept right at it. I began to feel faint. Fortunately by that time she'd finished up and I was ready to high-tail it away from her. I asked her if she sewed and she said she was just learning to do some hand sewing. She then tightly folded my fabric into a small square. Why would you put so many crease lines in a taffeta fabric??? By that time I'd had enough. Not only I've never been so happy to be away from a cutting table. The only good thing from this is in addition to the 1 yard I bought she also sold me a 22" the remaining fabric remnant for only $0.46---super dirt cheap! That helped calm my nerves.
That has to be my WORST fabric cutting incident!!! Do you have any fabric cutting/mishandling horrors of your own????? Please share!!!

I'm doing anything I can to mentally escape this frigid winter and the five feet of snow outside my window. I thought I would share some random pink prettiness.
- I love everything about this photo of Jackie O. - The color scheme is very close to my daughter's room. {which I'm slowly finishing} I also love the quality of light in this image.
- The second image is sort of the direction I am heading in for my own feminine retreat.
- Lastly, words to live by - Audrey Hepburn.
Happy Weekend.

What is it with this employment picture? Last month we learned from "Portland's Economic Scorecard" by the Community Chamber that regional employment growth is "lagging." Then last week, Forbes — infamous for regularly ranking Maine as the worst state in the nation for doing business — named the Portland metro area "the best city for job prospects this spring."
What gives?
As with most confusion surrounding the dismal science, the answer lies in the meaning attached to measurement.
The chamber's scorecard uses data gathered after the fact. Each month, the U.S. Department of Labor surveys nearly 600,000 employers across the country, asking, "How many jobs were on your payroll on the 12th of the previous month?" Following answers to this question over time, we can see how businesses did or did not increase employment, both in total for an entire region and for specific industries.
The Forbes ranking, on the other hand, was forward-looking. It was based on a nationwide ManpowerGroup survey of 18,000 employers (about 150 in the Portland region), asking, "Over the coming quarter (the second quarter — March, April and May — of 2013), do you plan to increase the number of workers on your payroll, decrease that number or keep it about the same?"
For the Portland metro region — defined as York, Cumberland and Sagadahoc counties — 27 percent of the employers surveyed said they planned to increase jobs and 4 percent said they planned to decrease jobs. That net increase of 23 percent ranked Portland first in the nation.
Great news, right? Well perhaps, but probably not in the way attention-grabbing headlines seem to imply.
Last December, the same survey (asking about the first quarter of 2013) ranked the Portland region second-worst in the nation for job growth prospects.
The first conclusion, therefore, seems to be: Don't sell your house and move across the country based on the Manpower employment prospects survey!
A second conclusion might be: Let's think about the difference between the first and second quarter.
Is there any reason, apart from a suddenly welcoming business climate, that Portland area employers might be thinking about adding to their payrolls? How about the warming meteorological climate? Come springtime, any Maine employer who isn't thinking about adding workers either isn't awake or hasn't gotten back from Florida yet.
Unless the survey makes some effort to adjust for natural seasonal changes in hiring patterns, Portland is always going to be near the top of the pack in spring and summer and at the bottom of the pack in fall and winter.
This fact doesn't make the survey right or wrong, it just means that we need to think clearly about what is being measured before we jump to any conclusions about the health of our economy.
And that is the overall point to be made about any measure of economic activity — what does it mean and how will that meaning help you get to where you want to go?
Chris Hall, president of the Portland Regional Chamber; Greg Mitchell, Portland's economic development director; and all who have helped them assemble a city and regional economic development plan are to be congratulated for making it a data-driven, living document rather than just another study to line a shelf. And they should be encouraged to keep returning to their selected data points to measure their progress.
That means not being distracted by the latest data headline that, like new medical studies and fad diets, makes claims designed more to sell their own products than to promote the health of the consumer.

|Via Sociological Images
Yes, it's superficially kind of amusing on a frat boy level. And the woman is certainly appealing. But as Dr. Gwen Sharp at Sociological Images points out:
"I suppose someone could argue that the message that you shouldn't 'care' whether your women/cars are 'used' rejects the sexual double standard, but the objectification and the implication that non-virgin women are 'used' undermine any apparent rejection of that double standard."
In layman's terms, "comparing a sexually active woman to a used car is pretty f'ing offensive".
The ad appeared in the London Free Press.
Not only is it offensive, it's a ripoff. Another example of the same concept that made the internet rounds three years ago is this BMW ad that claims to be :
|Doesn't she look a little... Nabokovesque?
Gwen thinks this creepy ad must be unpublished spec creative, but this blogger gives full credits and a publication date:

Kee: *grunt*
Beege: No really! I like the symmetry.
Kee: I didn't draw any simmy trees.
|Vitruvian Man - Leonardo Da Vinci
Kee: Okay, what's a sim-a-tree?
Beege: Well, Kee. Symmetry is when two things look the same on both sides. The middle is called the "line of symmetry".
Kee: Okay.
Beege: A lot of things have lines of symmetry. Take you, for example. You have a line of symmetry. It goes right down your whole body.
Kee: ...
Beege: Really! You have two eyes, two ears, two arms, two legs, and there's a line all the way down the middle!
Kee: But I don't have two bums! Or belly buttons!
For some reason, that was really upsetting, and yelling ensued. On the upside, if we ever decide to homeschool, maybe Beege can handle the lessons.

Late last night word got out that legendary street brawler and MMA fighter, Kimbo Slice, had passed away from a heart attack at the age of 42.
Kimbo, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, was a legend in the game well before he ever appeared on the 10th season of The Ultimate Fighter.
He was a Youtube star who was known for pummelling the likes of "Dreads," "Adryan," "The Bouncer," and "Byrd"- who had a softball sized knot on his eye by the time Kimbo was done with him.
Kimbo last fought in Bellator MMA back in February but it's his legendary street fights, which were uploaded on YouTube, that will forever be embedded in our brains.
The video quality might not be great, but it reminds us of a time when Kimbo first broke out as the baddest brawler in the game. RIP Kimbo.

Last week, I posted about, What I Won't Buy with Baby #2, and I thought it would be helpful to also post a short list of things we will buy for baby #2, that we didn't have with Nehemiah.
So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I am a wiser mom, not the wisest. And after two years, a better mom, not the best, but certainly the most adequate for our family, as the Lord saw fit. In these two years I've seen MANY baby items that certainly would've made life with itty bitty baby Nehemiah easier.
I did without these items my first time around, so, technically, I could probably do without them the second time around the block, but why make my life harder? I mean, a two year old and and newborn/infant is hard enough, right?
(the links are to our amazon baby registry)
Nehemiah was super stuffy his first winter and I assume babies usually are in the winter, and it doubles as white noise machine. This specific one is a night light too, 3 in 1, sign me up!
|Nehemiah circa 6 months
With Nehemiah we did the whole throw a blanket over the car-seat deal. We also had this super hot, hot as in warm, wool car seat cover/warmer with a zipper, and both did NOT work for us. One was too breezy and the other was like a sauna, literally, Nehemiah would sweat through his clothes. The stretchy types of covers gained popularity in the past year and moms seem to love them. Plus, it doubles as a nursing cover (hands up emoji),
*baby monitor
Two years ago we were in a tiny apt. and then we left on our Epic Road Trip West when Nehemiah was 3 months old. We couldn't justify buying a baby monitor when 90% of the time we were in the same room with Nehemiah or one wall away. This time around, I have a feeling a baby monitor will come in handy. Not only because we live in a bigger place, but because two kids. I still can't justify a fancy video one, nor one that links to your phone, but the simple but trusted baby monitors, I can get on board with.
*ring sling
One of my favorite things to do when Nehemiah was an infant was to carry him in my Solly Baby wrap, and I will for sure use it with baby #2, but another baby carrier would make things easier because different situations call for different baby carriers, am I right? Also, side note, we are thinking of getting a structured carrier (LILLE Baby Carrier) so that when baby #2 gets bigger we can carry them forward facing and/or on our backs.
As I have touched on before, we are co-sleepers all the way, but this sweet item would just make it better. It is a "docking station" whatever that means. In my own words, its a way for the baby not to fall off the bed. Well, that is what I assume it will do. It might end up making co-sleeping harder and a nuisance but the reviews convinced me to want it. I am a sucker for good reviews.
|Baby #2 bump 25ish weeks
Any momma's out there have any input?
Up next week: baby products I LOOOOOVEEEE. Yay!

Well, it had to happen. We have to talk about Freud. We'll start with the Id, Ego, and Superego.
The id represents our basic human instincts. They are drives that want to be satisfied right now . The id is present at birth. Some of the basic drives it represents are food, attention, and sex.
The ego develops as the baby becomes a child. The ego strives to fulfill the needs of the id while staying within socially acceptable behavior. The child realizes that s/he cannot have everything all the time. "I really want that cookie, but if I just take it mom will be mad. I'll try asking politely."
The superego develops when the individual internalizes societal norms and buys into them. The superego can also be seen as our conscious.
The id and the superego are in constant battle... "I really want to take my coworker's Mt. Dew out of the fridge and eat it... but that would be stealing..." In a well balanced individual, the ego is able to negotiate between the id and the superego.
Sublimation is the term used for when one socially unacceptable drive is channeled into a socially acceptable one. The book that I'm working from uses sex as an example, saying that sexual urges are seen as socially inappropriate, so we turn to marriage, in which sex is socially appropriate. I prefer their other example, channeling aggressive or violent behaviors into competitive sports.

We came across a blog post on A Wealth of Common Sense by Ben Carlson of Ritholtz Wealth Management calling buying a starter home "one of the worst moves you can make financially as a younger person."
We had to know more.
A starter home is any home you don't plan on staying in for the long term.
Carlson, who's a married homeowner in his mid-30s, as well as a CFA Charterholder, watched many of his friends follow the traditional path: get married, buy a home for the time being, have kids, upgrade to a bigger, more permanent home. However, he saw that these starter homes were more expensive than the buyers planned, from making improvements up-front to extricating themselves from the property later.
When he ran the numbers, he realized that, generally, starter homes just don't make sense. For one thing, the bulk of your mortgage payments in those first years go directly to interest payments, meaning you haven't built much equity by the time you trade up.
The median house price is roughly $200,000, and for the sake of argument, let's say you don't put anything down. If you stayed there for five years with a 4% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage, two-thirds of your payments go to interest costs alone. You don't build up a ton of equity.
The break-even point for a home tends to be between five and seven years, depending on where you live. If you're in the house for less than that time, you sink money into closing costs, property taxes, improvements, and even realtor fees when it's time to sell.
If you're going to buy a house, buy something you're going to stay in for seven to 10 years. Otherwise, those costs are going to eat up most of your equity.
Carlson isn't against buying a home overall. In fact, he's strongly in favor of it — if it's somewhere you intend to stay for at least a decade. Until then, though, don't look down on renting.
"I think for young people, renting is underrated," he said. "When you're young, renting gives you more options. People say they don't want to pay someone else's mortgage, but I think especially when you're young and not tied down, it gives you the ability to pick up and move to another city for a job — a little leeway. A house is much more expensive than people think. It's more than just a mortgage."

Aprilia takes on the tablecloth trick – Click above to watch the video after the break
How do you win by failing? Satire, naturally. And that's exactly the tactic that Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia is using against World Superbike rival BMW. Both European manufacturers released brand new literbikes in the same year and have been doing battle both on the sales floor and the race track ever since.
BMW has proven that it knows how to build a proper sportbike with its S 1000 RR, coming out of the gates swinging with a 193-horsepower wallop and the most sophisticated electronics package available on the street. The Bavarian company has also shown its marketing chops, most memorably with the viral tablecloth video we featured a few months back.
But it's Aprilia that has the greater racing experience, and that's coming to the fore this season in competition. At present, the Italian marque is leading the Superbike manufacturer's championship with its RSV4 while BMW is, ahem... second to last. Check out the video after the break and see how Aprilia can win while failing.

The Sylphs (シルフ, Shirufu?), also called Silf, are a summon in various games in the series. Their attack, Whispering Wind, absorbs HP from the enemy and gives it to the party. Their appearance is that of small fairies.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
- See the summon sequences here.
Sylphs, the Fair and Seldseen Fey... Only when they work as one, fitting about on their gossamer wings, is the true wonder of their delicate strength revealed.
The Sylphs live in the Sylph Cave in the Underworld. Cecil Harvey and his friends find them taking care of Yang Fang Leiden, who has been injured due to an attempt to stop the Super Cannon in the Tower of Babil.
The Sylphs do not let the party near Yang, as they do not trust humans. When Cecil comes back with a frying pan given to him by Yang's wife, he hits Yang with it and he wakes up. Yang offers his help, but the Sylphs would not let Yang leave. They offer Rydia their help instead as a summon. Two Sylphs can later be seen in the attack on the Giant of Babil, in a tank with Yang. In the Nintendo DS remake, Sylph is one of the few spells usable by the heroes that is the Wind element, the other being Edge's Gale Ninjutsu.
Sylph has a casting time of 1, cost 20 MP (25 MP in the 3D) to summon and deals non-elemental (Wind-elemental in 3D) damage to a single enemy, distributing the amount of damage they dealt to the enemies to the party as HP. In the SNES, Easy Type, and Wii versions; there is a glitch that lets the player cast the Sylph summon for 0 MP.
On the Easy Type version, the casting time was reduce to 0.
Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-Edit
Sylph returns as a Summon spell for Rydia in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV. It deals moderate non-elemental damage to one enemy and restores HP evenly to all party members at the cost of 20 MP. They are only available during the final battle.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
In The After Years, the Sylphs have fallen under the control of the Mysterious Girl like most of the Eidolons, and a lone Sylph can be found petrified in their cave in Rydia's Tale.
In Yang's Tale, the Sylphs appear to him in a vision at the Impact Crater, warning him of the Mysterious Girl seizing control of them in preparation to take the Crystals, and Yang returns to Fabul to ensure the castle's safety.
In The Crystals, the Sylphs are running about Kaipo and Fabul in search of Yang, and will attack if approached. Reviving Yang and Ursula will calm them down and they will join Rydia as a summon. If the player fights and kills all the Sylphs in Kaipo and Fabul prior to this however, they cannot be obtained.
The Sylphs cost 25 MP to summon and act as they did in Final Fantasy IV, damaging a single enemy and healing the party. The Sylphs also take part in the Sylph Protection Band, formed by Banding Yang's Attack with Rydia's Summon. Rydia summons the Sylphs to empower Yang, healing his HP and granting him the Protect, Shell and Haste statuses for 17 MP.
Final Fantasy VEdit
- See the summon sequences here.
The Sylphs are a Level 1 summon in Final Fantasy V, and can be purchased in the town of Walse for 350 gil. For the cost of 8 MP, two fairies appear and drain some HP from the enemies, distributing it to the party. In the 3D versions of the game, the summoner calls a new, larger sylph, who then conjures the two small sylphs.
Final Fantasy XIEdit
Despite not appearing as a summon in the game, there is a Server named after them.
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant WingsEdit
Sylvan spirit for whom the winds are blades.
Sylph is the rank 1 Non-Elemental ranged summon. Her special attack is Aero, which causes moderate non-elemental damage.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit
Sylphs are one of the beast races of Final Fantasy XIV, being numerous around the Eastern Black Shroud and having the best relationship with the city-states of all of them. They speak a broken form of the common language and never use terms such as "I" or "We", opting for terms such as "The Woken Ones", "The Metal Ones", "The Seedy Ones", etc.
They nest in Moonspore Grove, which is blocked off by boulders. The pathways to the Grove have many sylphs that can be engaged in combat, and their houses can be easily seen glowing from tree trunks. A ground structure called the Goldleaf Dais can also be found in this area.
Due to the invasion of the Garleans in the Twelveswood and the following Calamity, some sylphs resorted to summoning Ramuh, the lightning-aspected primal. These sylphs have been 'touched', changing to a purple hue, and are fiercely defensive of their territory, only venturing outside to bring back untouched sylphs (which remain a green hue) into their fold. The untouched sylphs have since fled to a village called Little Solace, with the support of Gridania.
Although all feminine in appearance, sylphs are a dual-gendered species whose names reflect their gender. All male Sylph's names end in with "xio" while all female Sylph names end in "xia."
Wind-up Sylph appears as a minion.
Final Fantasy TacticsEdit
An esper that employs the lingering life force of windswept leaves to silence enemies.
In Final Fantasy Tactics, Sylph (also known as Silf) can be learned by the Summoner job and costs 400 JP. Its attack, Whispering Wind, attempts to inflict Silence on all enemies in a large area. It costs 26 MP and has a speed of 20.
In the PlayStation version, when summoned, the summoner will sometimes say, "Show us to put our lives back on track! Silf!"

Final Fantasy Legend IIEdit

Aileen R. (aileen) from N HOLLYWOOD, CA
Reviewed on 8/15/2008...
Considered by many to be the Material Girl's most mature effort of the '80s, Like a Prayer upped the ante of controversy with its gospel-infused title track and the singer's emotional confessions throughout. It also unveiled the hit "Express Yourself," which ushered in the era of Madonna as a "stainless steel sexual icon." Musically, Prayer showcased her burgeoning songwriting prowess, with the beautiful "Oh Father" and the perky pop of "Cherish." Besides a throw-away collaboration with Prince ("This Is Not a Love Song"), the CD stands as one of her strongest works, eschewing the strong dance beat influences from her past--she saved that for the remixes--and concentrating instead on melody and structure. Like a Prayer also gave a hint of things to come with the delightful "Dear Jessie" displaying a maternal side worthy of her name. --Steve Gdula (Amazon.com)

"I am very happy with the purchase. The item came in perfect condition.
Highly recommend!"
The maturing of Madonna
Glen Zimmerman | Lindenwold, New Jersey | 03/22/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Not that there was anything to not like about the "bubblegum" Madonna of the early/mid 80s, but on this album, Madonna shows a much deeper and more spiritual side of herself that many people probably didn't know was there at the time. "Deep, dark and haunting" is probably the best way to describe many of the songs on this album, especially "Oh Father" and "Promise To Try." Of course, Madonna doesn't completely abandon what made her famous in the first place, and songs like the title track, "Express Yourself," and "Cherish" show that she was well able to incorporate her new lyrical maturity into the breezy, upbeat pop settings that served her (and us) well so many times before."

The championing of innovative and eco-friendly sourcing with advances in textile technology has fashioned a nuanced material with an appropriately modish name: Vegan Leather.
Fashion brands sensitive to issues concerning; animal cruelty, animal welfare rights, and the chemicals used in the tanning process of leather - which impact upon the environment and health, are offering a socially responsible and stylish alternative to leather.
Vegan leather products are far removed from association with the insipid 'pleather' of the 80's and 90's which was largely devoid of sophistication. Today, evolution in textile technology can allow the manufacture of materials which can be imprinted with grains that resemble suede and natural skins and are therefore indistinguishable in look and texture to real leather. These advances, coupled with contemporary, tasteful designs have allowed the creation a range of vegan products. Stylish and desirable, these products are growing in appeal to socially conscious millennials.
Pioneering in their materials and designs since 1995 are MATT & NAT, a vegan line from Montreal, Canada. MATT & NAT stands for MATTerial and NATure; through this clever marriage of words, the brand explores the synergy between material and nature in creating their sleek and stylish range of bags, wallets and accessories for men and women.
The brand lives by the motto, 'Live beautifully' reflecting an ethos that values life and nature. This simple message almost commands its audience to appreciate the world around them.
The scientific terms for vegan leather are PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinylchloride). Critics of vegan leather ask questions of the chemicals used and produced in the manufacture of these materials. PU is thought to be less harmful for the environment than PVC and MATT & NAT prioritise its use whenever possible.
Importantly, MATT & NAT have strong relationships with their factories and the owners. One of their factories has the The Social Accountability International's (SAI) SA8000 Standard Certification which ensures quality working conditions for all in order to protect fundamental human rights of employees. They hope this will become a bigger part of their production in the future. It is clear that this brand is dedicated to upholding the integrity of their products from start to finish.
I recently purchased a wallet from the MATT & NAT Vera small collection. The aubergine purple and modern design caught my eye. The vegan leather is indistinguishable in appearance and texture from real leather; it's quite incredible- it looks faintly creased and massaged as you would expect real leather to appear. The wallet itself feels solid and strong. The stitch around the outside is bold and defines shape of the wallet as it punches through the material.
There is no compromise on style; the features are smart and contemporary. The wallet looks timeless. On the front the stitching follows the tampered edge of the front-fold, drawing the eye to the centrally engraved, white letters of MATT & NAT.
The Zipper coin pocket at the back has a single, sleek pleat for loose change- a neat design and the tactile, extended zipper has the brand name etched into the grey metal- a well-executed feature.
Brand ambassadors of MATT & NAT have included Nathalie Portman, Fearne Cotton, Olivia Wilde, Charlize Theron, Rory Freidman, Emily Deschanel and Adrian Grenier.
This is an a beautiful brand with an equally beautiful and exciting ethos.

The Old German Shepherd
An old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost.
Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep s**t now!"
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,
"Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says…
"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"
Moral of this story…
Don't mess with the old dogs… Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!
Bull Shit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
If you don't send this to five 'old' friends right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.
Of course, I am in no way insinuating that you are old, just 'youthfully challenged'.

Scrumptious Leopard Bags
- With 0 comments
OMG, I have a strong urge to pick up a leopard/cheetah print bag myself. Kate sure knows how to flaunt that animal print from her coats to handbags. What a cool ensemble with an edgy attire and a touch of wildness. Her bag is the Longchamp leopard duffle bag from the Parade line (fall 09). I'm a huge fan of Longchamp bags especially the black patent leather bag (which Kate also happens to own) but this leopard duffle tops it all! I'd feel like a million bucks carrying it for sure.
Ok, I'm moving from dream bag to this gotta-have-it DKNY Large Leopard Satchel. If you want a drool-worthy leopard handbag with plenty of room (15x10x7), classy style, and an amazing texture, this is the one! Not all leopard bags are the same, it's all about craftsmanship. I love the ones made from quality materials with amazing texture. Now you have an opportunity to get it while on sale for $239.99 $345, more than $100 off! You'll adore this gorgeous bag year around, year after year. Such a treat!

It's been a little while since I updated this blog, and it's my fault. We did the house move, I got really sick for a while, had a massive flare, had a hard drive crash, wrestled with depression and was generally either in bed or at an appointment. I probably could have written a journal in the mean time, but I was pretty emotionally exhausted and have been dealing with settling in issues here and, honestly, I couldn't outlay the energy to write a big, long blog update and deal with things on my end as well. So now that I've managed to calm things down a little on this end, I can update you all and let you know I'm still here.
So, to begin. Moving was a hassle. Not so much for the physical moving of boxes, but Manthing and I have moved in from a small 3 bedroom house on our own to the even smaller family 2 bedroom home. It's been a process of culling furniture, playing tetris with boxes to maximise space, clearing out 20 years of hoarding from a garage and generally destroying dustbunnies in any way I can. My mother is a lovely woman but, due to her own fairly rough past, has a history of some mental health issues which are self-perpetuating with her unhealthy behaviour at present. Manthing and I, amongst other reasons, have moved in here in order to hopefully help her, keep her company and ease her back into the world at her own pace. She now has reason to get out and leave the house, eats well (Because I'm an amazing cook!) and has reasonable expectations set for behaviour and routine. Long story short, it's a good thing.
The problem I face is that this is also the house I left when I was 18 and my mother and I historically have not had the best relationship. I find a lot of her behaviour incredibly frustrating and senseless, and I'm often a little on the snippy side with her and Manthing since I've had nothing but above-average pain levels since moving here. It's somewhat of a tetchy matter and something we're working towards, but the situation is highly unpredictable due to the present mental health issues in this house. I don't often know if I'm speaking to my mother or a 16 year old and since these aren't issues she will address herself, I'm rather at a stalemate about the whole thing and the best I can do is take each day as it comes and do my best to be understanding about it all.
I've also had to resign with a new Disability Employment Support service due to policy changes – everyone under 35 and on disability pension is now considered a lazy, layabout dole bludger and MUST return to work, regardless of their personal circumstances. I've taken great pains over the last 6 months to explore my educational options and I'd sincerely like to follow up and complete my Vet Nursing studies with a view to continue on to Vet Science, but it has to be done at a snails pace with my body and neurological issues. I'd also enjoy furthering my silversmithing skills and learning how to manufacture set-stone and silver jewellery, but the course arrangements for that make it almost impossible. But, it's been decided for me that I must return to work, despite also running a small business. You know, the small business that doesn't make minimum wage presently due to my shit health? Yeah. So under present circumstances I'm being forwarded for admin/reception jobs I have no say over.
At this point it only looks like one or two days a week, which should be fine in theory, but I'm rather concerned about what's going to happen when I have a repeat of the last 2 weeks where I have no choice but to spend it in bed or face hospitalisation. I'm damn good at that line of work and can run an entire corporate office while half asleep (and have done so in the past!), but I'm concerned about the days I can't work properly, I have to go home early or can't turn up at all. If I don't make my weekly hours, my pension gets cut entirely and Manthing and my mother don't have enough to cover the cost of my bills and medication through just the two of them.
So, in the mean time, I'm doing my best to get the business up and happening again, despite everything being in storage. The reason you haven't seen anything of the 100 Unicorns Project these last few weeks is because I was busy turning my last drawing into a completed colouring page for sale via PDF. It was a little bit of a runabout considering it was my very first, but I learned a lot from the process that will make it much easier for me with the next one. My plan is to release a whole bunch of colouring pages for sale in my Etsy store that will, at the very least, put a few dollars a fortnight into my pocket to make it easier to pay for other things. I considered starting a Paetron for this blog, but I don't think I offer enough to warrant people contributing towards the blog financially. Furthermore, I think that the few people that follow this blog have health issues of their own which isn't a cheap thing, so their money would be better spent going towards their own bills rather than paying for me to write and draw. At least with the colouring pages, there's an actual transaction taking place – they buy the colouring page, they get something for their money. I'm still deliberating wheather I should put the link to the listing here or not, since this blog provides me a degree of anonymity and my shop breaches that. I suppose if enough people are interested in spending two dollars on a page, I would consider it, but that's not the purpose of this blog post.
"Over the weekend I was referred to a potential new GP. The incident left me rather upset and I wrote a quick post about it on another site, and I figured it was finally time for me to post it here.
So today I saw a potential new GP. I knew we wouldn't see eye to eye when the first thing out of his mouth was that one of my two major debilitating conditons was psychological and he didn't believe in it, amongst other things.
While I firmly acknowledge that a good portion of pain management and mitigation comes from a good headspace and that stress and psychological hiccups will increase my pain levels and potentially CAUSE flares for me, disregarding factual evidence based in scientific publications in favour of willful ignorance to uphold your baised and outdated views is frankly a breech of the hipocratic oath. Disregaring the research of fellow doctors and the confirmation of verified conditions in the form of a diagnosis is disrespect for your colleagues and, most importantly, blatantly denying the very real symptoms I face on a faily basis ignores the fact that I am not just a record sheet. I am a human being whose existence and suffering and joy and sadness is as real as anyone else's. You can not ignore the patient in favour of the medicine. You can't seperate the condition from the afflicted.
I've gone through countless versions of this experience when I see a new doctor for the first time, and it never gets any easier when it happens. If i had a broken arm or fractured pelvis, a quantifiable and documentable deviation from health, you would never dream of telling me that I should just "get my shit together" and "get on with life". My condition would be real and visible and if you told me that the fracture was purely in my head, you would be booted out of medicine, called a complete imbicle and everyone would hoo ra in behind me about how inconsiderate you were.
Life with an invisible illness stretches so far beyond "I'm sick" that it's often impossible to explain it to people who have never experienced anything like it. It's not just the struggle of your own body working against you. It's having to fight to have people believe you because you pass as healthy and able bodied. It's having medical practitioners tell you that they don't believe you or that they don't believe in the condition. It's being questioned every time you need pain medication. It's being labled a drug seeker, an attention whore, lazy, unmotivated and even a hypochondriac. It's having every action scrutinised by people who deny the truth of your existence, and it still being acceptible for them to vocally deny your issues. It's a fight. Every single day. Not just against your own body, but against the world. For some people it's just against doctors. For others, it's against your friends and family too.
It's the uncertainty of knowing whether you will be believed and it's not wanting to talk about your illnesses because of it. It's wanting so badly to pass as healthy to avoid the scrutiny and yet hating every single second that the beast you're fighting is invisible to everyone but yourself and the rare few that know that monster, too.
I figure this might be something people can relate to. I'm still very exhausted from everything that's happened over the past few weeks, so I might leave this blog entry off here and do my best to keep some more regular posting from here on in.

Far East Creative Expressions Celebrates Student Creativity

Far East Creative Expressions Celebrates Student Creativity
TOKYO — Over 100 DoDEA Pacific student artists attended the 2012 Far East Creative Expressions visual arts festival to find inspiration and make works of their own. These students came from all over the Pacific to showcase their talents as the future artists of their generation.
The four day event began Dec. 10 with students from all 12 DoDEA Pacific high schools. The students and teachers had to apply and be selected by the event organizers to take part in the festival.
The theme "Envision, Explore, and Express" inspired creativity throughout the week and offered the participating students a meaningful framework to conceptualize and create art within the medium of their choice.
The students were divided up into major and minor classes based on their interests and skills. Drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpting, 3D-design, oil pastels, watercolor, acrylic, ceramics, and jewelry fabrication were among the courses offered and led during the event by 18 DoDEA Pacific teachers and four Temple University professors.
Throughout the festival, students worked quickly to learn and apply new skills and craft a finished art piece derived from a concept for the student art show. The students drew upon the atmosphere and landscape of Tokyo to inspire their works and all participants had to manage their projects carefully to finish in time.
Previously, Far East Creative Expressions was held in Onna Village, Okinawa. The change in location this year marks a new partnership with Temple University and provided a different experience for all those involved.
According to DoDEA Pacific Activities Coordinator Todd Kirby, this year's festival was co-developed with Temple University located in downtown Tokyo, "The art program at Temple University is under the auspices of the renowned Tyler School of Art on the main campus of Temple in Philadelphia, Pa." Kirby explained that the genesis of the partnership was to foster greater capacity for students and teachers to go beyond the classroom and apply their talents in real world situations.
Student Jairun Armendariz from Edgren HS in Misawa, Japan attended last year and welcomed the change, "I thought Tokyo helped give different inspiration for my artwork compared to Okinawa."
According to Shane Hernandez, an art teacher at Kinnick HS in Yokosuka, Japan and co-director for the Far East Creative Expressions festival, "Tokyo allows for a lot more opportunities so that students can create a strong concept to drive their artwork. Moreover, it's important for students to be exposed to a world-class city that embraces the visual arts."
Compared to years past, participants described a noticeable improvement in the event including more student involvement. Student Alysha Sellers from MC Perry HS in Iwakuni, Japan said, "Every Far East has gotten more serious each year. Students are now coming to do work rather than slack off."
To students, the experience was a rare opportunity to take their learning to another level. "This event has been a stupendous experience," said Yokota HS student Hunter Collins, "I was able to learn about things that wouldn't be taught in school."
Other students said the challenging schedule and high level of art was more physically and mentally demanding than an athletic Far East event.
Awards were presented for exemplary works and selected pieces were put on display during a public art exhibition Dec. 13 at Takanawa Community Plaza Gallery in downtown Tokyo.

I was invited to an ex-boyfriends wedding and I think he still has feelings for me. He texts me things like "thinking of you always" and "I will always have a special place for you" which is really uncomfortable for me. I am not sure how to RSVP. I don't want to go to the wedding because I am afraid there will be a scene. I also feel like I need to say something to him about how inappropriate it is that he sends me messages like that but in a way, I think it will just pass once he gets married. Do you think I should say something to him or chalk it up to wedding jitters?
Donna in Saginaw, Michigan
Dear Donna,
Please don't attend this wedding.
Please don't respond to these texts.
Please know he is being a bad fiancé and a bad "friend" to you.
And PLEASE, don't give him the excuse of wedding jitters.
I hope this helps,

Unexpectedly, I've been getting some new follows lately. They might not be real people but, if they ARE, I don't want them to be disappointed by a dead blog. Keeping up a blog is definitely not easy for a college student in their senior year, and I completely failed. But the good news is, I… Continue reading It's Been a While (Update: The Grand Plan)
The Greatest Epiphany in Korean Language Learning History
When I study with my tutor we use a book called "Korean Grammar in Use- Beginning to Early Intermediary". It's been about 6 months... at least... And we aren't even halfway done. Though that is because I only pay for 30 minutes a week, and sometimes 25 of those are spent correcting my faulty sentences… Continue reading The Greatest Epiphany in Korean Language Learning History
I'm a Genius, I Swear!
It is difficult for the average human to learn another language. It is even more difficult for a creative writer to learn another language. And I'm not saying this with scientific research to back me up, but just with some experience. The largest difficulty comes from simple sentence building. I have learned basic greetings and… Continue reading I'm a Genius, I Swear!

Weighing In
I have started this journey so many times before that it doesn't even scare me anymore. But this time I am accountable to the internet, so I hope it will work! To begin with, we need to do a quick weigh in~
Korean Night
Tonight is Korean night. And I don't mean a blissful night where I get to partake in Korean Food and all of its glorious flavors. No, it is the night of my Korean Lesson.
The Grand Plan
Welcome! I'm not sure how you found me or what level of boredom that you've achieved that has led you here, but I sincerely welcome you to my little blog. I don't know anything about you, and you know nothing about me. Eventually you will get to know me in the future (starting today) and I hope I have the time to get to know you as well. For now, I want to dedicate this post to laying down this year's plan!

Brazil is known for samba, warm weather, beautiful beaches, Carnival, soap operas. And, maybe, one day for handball.
During the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in August, the world could witness and experience this Brazilian spirit with the world-best athletes competing in many sports, also in handball.
The home team reached the quarter-finals for their best ever Olympic result, showing the world that Brazilian handball is growing.
This season five Brazilian players are competing in the VELUX EHF Champions League: José Toledo (Orlen Wisla Plock), Rogerio Moraes (HC Vardar), Thiagus dos Santos (MOL-Pick Szeged), Arthur Patrianova (RK Celje Pivovarna Lasko) and Haniel Langaro (Naturhouse La Rioja).
They left behind the Brazilian heat to improve in Europe by joining the world's leading club competition.
"We did a great job at the Olympics and got into the focus of the world of handball," La Rioja left back Langaro says.
Childhood dream
Langaro started playing handball as an eight-year-old kid. He left Brazil 12 years later as agreed on a contract with the Spanish club.
"I think every player dreams of playing in Europe and, for me, playing at an European team helps me a lot to evolve and to grow tactically and individually," Langaro says.
At 21, he made his debut in the Champions League and fulfilled a childhood dream and a professional goal.
"I feel very good and very happy," he says. "I play at one of the big clubs in Europe and I feel I am at home in Logroño."
Plock right back Toledo also left Brazil at age 20 to play in Spain, at Granollers. One year later, he played his first Champions League game the Wisla Plock.
"For me it is important to play handball in Europe to evolve and to achieve more as a player and a Brazilian," says Toledo, who is now living his professional dream.
Biggest obstacle
"I think everything is a process and when you have a dream of playing outside of Brazil, you can not think about the obstacles you will face," Langaro says.
Toledo also agrees he likes to "experience new cultures" and he never thought about language barriers when he came to Europe.
"Of course it is always a difficulty but not a decisive one when I made this decision," he adds.
For Langaro it has been easy to adapt to the Spanish food and language, but he is constantly missing his family and friends.
However, for both players, the biggest obstacle of living in Europe is the weather. They acknowledge that the cold seasons, which they do not have in Brazil, have been the biggest barriers in their adaptation process.
A 'fair' price
The number of Brazilian players in European leagues is growing, making it easier for them to improve and stand out.
"Many Brazilians come to Europe because we have good players. And in Brazil we do not earn much and here we get to do our job for a 'fair' price," Toledo says.
Spain, Portugal and some teams in France have already import many Brazilian players, who are looking to improve their handball and compete in stronger leagues and in countries "which really appreciate the sport."
"Brazilian handball is diferent. The domestic league is too short," Toledo explains.
Langaro thinks Spain is importing the most Brazilian players nowadays.
"A lot of players came from Brazil to play in the Asobal League, and some have already gone to the bigger teams in Europe," says Langaro, adding that Brazilian national team coach Jordi Ribera als plays an important role in the emergence of "more and more Brazilian players of great quality."
Both players believe that Brazilians benefit from coming to Europe as they learn to play a different type of handball.
"Brazilian handball, in my opinion, is much more individual and European handball is much more tactical and collective," Langaro says.
Looking to improve
After some years in Europe Langaro and Toledo like to remember their Champions League debuts and the honours they got, like being chosen in the top 5 goals or being voted best player of the match. Those accomplishments inspire them to improve and become better players.
Still, both Brazilians have a few goals left to achieve.
"I have the dream of playing for one of the biggest teams in Europe, like Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona or SG Flensburg-Handewitt," Langaro says.
Toledo also admires PSG, FC Barcelona and Veszprém, and maybe his future could be with one of those teams.
Until then, they want to continue to make the difference for their teams and to go even further in this edition of the Champions League.

179 1st Ave. N., St. Petersburg, Fl 33701 TEL: 727-895-1500
On entering Messineo's you can't help but notice the colorful décor, modern fixtures with an old fashioned market appeal. The staff is eager to please and the overall feeling is 'this place may be around for awhile.'
No need to search for the coffee and pastry counter. Just like the previous tenant, Atlanta Bread, it's located just near the front door. Sorry, not too many choices yet, but a variety of tasty fresh bagels. I tried the Flax/ Raisin, delicious. The coffee however, is lacking in flavor with an odd aftertaste. An increase in critical clientele may bring improvement.
Remember now, this is also a market so there are choice cuts of meat, fish, fresh fruits and veggies. Even salads to go. You won't find that in every coffee shop! Priced by the pound, some of this local produce is cheaper than our favorite supermarkets. With lots of growing room, Messineo's (hard to remember?) could become a favorite. Wooden tables and chairs reminiscent of Smith and Hawkins await you outside.
The Buzz: Not a big crowd but this new establishment's location next to Starbucks means they must lure people looking for a unique experience.

It's a hotel near Okehampton in Devon which caters for lovers of golf, tennis, other sports and craft. I guess it's a great family destination, but is also good for people who want to spend their holidays doing activities. As it was term time, there were only 2 children there, a lot of older people and us. The place was rammed. You get three meals a day as I think most people stay within the grounds, most unusual for me and mum who are used to going to places where we stay self catering or B&B and spend our days exploring.
I'm going to do a series of posts this week, each one showcasing one of the activities we did, and some were a little unusual so I hope you enjoy!
We started with pottery. This was two sessions, but I've put them into the same post. We started with slip casting. This involved choosing 3 moulds that we wanted to cast. My choices were a cupcake trinket box (below right), and Art Deco vase (not pictured here) and a rabbit (below left). As you can see, the moulds were massive.
We started by taking them apart and cleaning out dried on clay using a little plastic tool. This is the Art Deco mould taken to pieces - 4 pieces in this case.
Once clean, we put the moulds back together and secured them with big elastic bands, making sure they were nice and tight.
Then we moved over to the slip casting area. I couldn't get photos whilst I was doing this as it was rather messy. The moulds sit above a trench for the waste slip and the slip comes out of a trigger gun to fill the moulds. Slip is a mixture of clay and water (I think!), so it's sloppy, heavy and grey. We filled the moulds to the top and left them for 20-35 minutes depending on the size of the mould.
My Art Deco vase was leaking as I was filling it so required shoring up with lots of clay, it took me ages to plug the gaps!
Here's my cupcake mould filled up and drying, the slip is turning a brown colour. After the prescribed time, I had to empty it out and leave it to drain. As the slip had started to dry, this leaves a cast round the edge of the mould.
Emptying the moulds was very messy!
And here it is all emptied. At this point we had to leave them to dry a bit more, so we had a demonstration of using a potter's wheel. I didn't get any photos of this I'm afraid. We had a go on the wheels, but me and mum were on different wheels at the same time so neither of us have any shots of us trying it out. I actually managed to make a pot, but didn't heed the tutor's advice to stop when you're happy and carried on a bit too long - the pot collapsed. I really enjoyed working on the wheel and we're going to take some classes at a local potter's studio where they offer wheel work.
When the moulds are dry it's time to carefully take them apart and fish out the cast object. They are very fragile and soft at this point. The lines you see are the mould lines.
These excess bits of clay and lines had to be removed with a sharp knife, this is called fettling and is not easy on the soft clay! All seam lines are then rubbed over gently with a damp sponge to blend the lines into the piece. The cast objects were then left to dry on top of a kiln overnight.
The next day we went to the next session. Our pieces were dry but very, very fragile. We were to under glaze them, but I decided to leave the bunny un-coloured which meant that after dipping in glaze by the staff, he would be fired and turn out white. I painted on a layer of wax to the bottom to stop the glaze from taking so he wouldn't get stuck to the kiln shelf.
I used masking tape and carefully painted the middle section turquoise. The colours of the glaze were not the same as the finished colours would be so this took some imagination. You had to do three layers, as even as possible or streaks would show. It was really hard as the glaze was all powdery and unpleasant to paint with.
Then I added the cherries in a mix of red and white and make pink. They were so hard to paint evenly.
I had a go at the sponging technique on the inside using the purple and pink. It looked so effective on the example pieces we were shown. The brown rim is the wax that we used to stop the pieces sticking to the kiln shelves.
As you can see, the underglaze looks dreadful, this picture below was after three coats. It really was unpleasant to paint with. The whole thing (I painted the two items, mum also painted another vase) took us 4 hours!
The glaze chipped off one of the edges and there is a crack down one side - this can happen if you put more than four layers of glaze on, which I suspect I did by accident. As you can see, the sponging technique did not work well!
Despite the dubious success of my pieces, I had a great time and loved pottery (with the exception of underglazes!!), I do intend to do some more pottery.
Wow, that was a long post! I'll be back tomorrow with talk of enamelling (and a shorter post!).
Slip casting, painting with underglazes and wheel work are all new to me, so I'll be linking up with Something New for 2014

Silence Alarm Clock wakes you with a shake, not a buzz
In the past, I have covered scented alarm clocks that require no sound to wake people up, and I was very enamored by this sleek looking concept design that has a similar wake-up method.
As you can see, this Silence alarm clock comes with matching bracelets. Each one has a vibration maker, so that when it goes off, you don't hear it, but you feel it. Apparently, this is enough to jar you awake.
The bracelets also have motion sensors. What you do is shake the bracelet to stop the buzz, and that acts like a snooze bar. If you want to keep "hitting" the snooze bar, then you really have to shake harder.
In short, if you want to stay asleep, you are going to have to fight for it. Not only that, but all of this is done without any blaring alarm. That is just one thing I like about it.
Another thing I like about this alarm is the design. You got to appreciate the simplicity of the clock, as well as the big numbers.
Of course, there is one flaw in this. Have you ever been late to work because you forgot to set your alarm? Your boss might believe that, but try saying "Sorry I'm late, I forgot to put on my Silence Bracelet".
