Moo hrm, let's see...potential titles for this entry...
MTV, Pimp my Horns!
or maybe...
Do I make you horny, baby?
or possibly...
Shameless Self Promotion (though not as fun as the others)
Either way, it gives you a basic idea of the content of this entry. Don't be fooled, it's not an actual, real entry. I'm just here to whore out my updated ebay listings since I spent a bunch of time making new horns, cooking new horns, photographing new horns and uploading new horn listings to ebay. You see, it's a lot of work, and I'm giddy with glee at having sold four pairs already, so I had to toss up some more and then of course, well, pimp out the link to buy them.
aw poop I had an entire entry written out but Mika - who's sitting on my lap and whom I was gushing about being such a sweety - just put her feet on my keyboard and lost the whole thing. Bah.
Guess it wasn't worth posting and I'm certainly not going to write it all back out again now.
This whole week, my sleep has been so lacking and so broken and with so much pounding going on around the building and me needing to flee my own apartment, ugh, it's caught up with me. Every day this week I've gotten like 4 or 5 hours of sleep, then waking up, then dealing with the noise for an hour or two, then driving to my friend's house, then fitfully dozing on his couch for a couple more hours, followed by sitting around watching tv (can't do anything productive and his pc is down for a rebuild so I can't even surf), then driving in the massive heat (can't run my a/c in the car since it's overheating again even when I don't run it and if I do, I can't drive the car it gets so hot) to get Love from work, then head home and deal with them still working. Then, sometimes I lay down again because my head's killing me and today, migraine and then, fun oh fun, upset stomach. I actually threw up it got so bad. And I despite throwing up and almost never do it. I know it's stress and lack of proper sleep. My body simply can't handle not getting real, solid, good rest like this and after three days, it's going on revolt. Ugh.
So things are just hell.
My pre-order of Aladdin DVD came today (finally!) which we ordered when we last went to WDW back in July. Which is good since it came out yesterday and there was no way we have the money to get it now. Since we bought it back then though, it was long since paid for. We watched it and wow, I forgot how much I love that movie. I'm so glad it's finally out on dvd. It's been far too long since I've seen it.
I don't know what was up with my domain email - and I never got a reply on the one support ticket about it (assholes) - but I did discover my "spam" folder on the server was literally 291 megs (!!) and thereby saying I was out of space on my domain, so when I trashed that, I started receiving emails again. I don't know where the ones from those two days went to - they seem to have slipped into a void somewhere - and it still seems like I'm not getting as many as I should - but I am getting some at the moment. No thanks to the damned host. I also changed the password just in case there was someone intercepting my emails though how or why is beyond me. Just weird. The whole thing doesn't seem right.
Anyway, I'm going to get ready for bed. Such useless days. I don't get a single damned thing done because I can't be at my house and when I am, I'm so exhausted I can't do anything either. Ugh. I can't wait for this damned week to be over. Finish the roof already people!
I know you're sick of hearing it, but remember, horns for sale on ebay and I'm already actively working on some custom orders so if you want a pair, just let me know! Also, don't forget, I make cute little penguins which suddenly seem all the rage (I've had more emails about them in the last couple days then I have all year!) and I'm going to be making some more tomorrow, so if you want one of them too, I can do it! :)
I know, I know. Stop plugging, but it's much needed money and it's the perfect time of the year to pick up a pair of horns!
Can't take it! I'm sitting here waiting since 8am for my mom to show up. She's bringing me down some boxes today. Which is great and all and I appreciate it, but fuck! They've been at it non-stop since 8am and it's so bad that the popcorn ceiling stuff is snowing all over my apartment, things are literally falling off the walls and my glasses are doing their best to break in the cabinets. Dammit. I need OUT of here but I have to wait until she gets here to drop off the boxes before I can leave.
Aw Crap I just realized that my giveneyestosee.com email isn't working. I haven't gotten a single email in at least two days. Dammit. I didn't realize this immediately since I wasn't home all day yesterday and all day today. Haven't really had a lot of time at the pc. But, last night, I noticed that things were weird and I sent myself a test email. Still haven't gotten it.
I'm getting email on my other two domains and they're on the exact same server as this one. And, I'm not getting any errors - just a note that there are no new messages on the server. I logged into my control panel and checked the email settings (everything looked fine), checked the webmail access to see if it just wasn't coming down off the server (it was empty), checked the spam box to see if it was just all getting routed there (no such luck) and pretty much ran out of things to check. I've sent a support ticket but dammit, this sucks. I use this domain for pretty much all of my email.
In the meantime, if you need to reach me, you can do so at either memoryanddream@gmail.com or leave a comment. I'll try to keep an eye out for it. *grumbles*
In construction hell news, they came out at 7:15am (the earliest legal start time is actually 8am here) and when I and Love got home at like 5:20pm, they were still pounding away. We called the manager and she said they are legally allowed to go until 7pm and the new owners are telling them to go as long as possible - including weekends. Fuck that shit, there are people living here and that's just bull. They're being complete assholes and I'm so fed up with it. I can't get anything done this week because I have to flee my apartment. Nice.
Managed to get over to my friend Rand's house about 11:30am this morning after spending a couple hours trying to deal with it here. It can't be done. Poor Rand has his whole foot in a sorta cast/sorta splint thing. He apparently spent four hours in the Hospital yesterday getting x-rays and stuff. They think it might be broken (hairline or perhaps stress fracture) but they're not sure yet. Meanwhile, he's hobbling around on crutches. And having a damned hard time getting around. I knew it was hurting him on Sunday when we walked (and he limped) around the art show but wow, I didn't know it was that bad. Eep.
Anyway, I fitfully dozed on his couch for a couple hours this afternoon. Ugh. With all the broken snatches of sleep, I have such a miserable headache. That not enough real sleep, fuzzy head feeling. (Can anyone remove the cotton in my skull?) And tomorrow, I get to do it all again. Joy. Actually, mom's bringing me some boxes (they're damned hard to come by!) first thing in the morning, then I'm high-tailing it out of here again.
Alrighty, that's it for now. Oh, don't forget, I have five Oooh one pair sold! FOUR pairs of horns on ebay at the moment you can buy and the sky's the limit on custom colors or styles! So let me know if you want some beyond what's on ebay, and I can get them made for you!
*grins*
Yeah! And a penguin order too! Rock on! This money will SO help, so keep it coming guys! I make nice stuff, and you'll really like it.
7 fucking 15 am 7:15am is when they started the construction (deconstruction) of the roof on my building. 7:15am Surely, there has to be a noise/public disturbance law against starting shit that early. Hello? People still live in these buildings. So what do they do in addition to destroying the roof at 7:15am? Sing and whistle out of tune and as loudly as possible. Fuckers.
I need a couch or a floor even. Just some place quite to sleep. I got maybe 4 1/2 hours sleep Sunday-Monday night and if I slept 30 uninterrupted minutes last night between about, oh... 1:30am - 7am I'd be amazed. I'm so, so, so damned tired.
Some Horns are up! Ok everyone. You know you want a pair of totally amazing, one-of-a-kind, handmade custom horns for Halloween, right? Lucky you, 'cause I've listed some on ebay tonight - a painstakigly looooong task that's putting me to bed HOURS after I wanted to go to sleep. Five pairs are up and more pending. Also, don't forget I can customize them for you - so if you like a style, but want a different color or something, just let me know! About half my orders last year were custom orders so I really don't mind.
I'm in desperate need of raising money to help pay for my move. My current apartment as many of you know has toxic mold and I've been living in it this way since July. October 15th, we're moving to a nicer place, but we're having to borrow money left and right to pull it off. Selling my horns this October hopefully can help put a dent in the massive expenses of moving.
New styles, new colors and new horns are up this year - and anything you liked last year can be redone as well!
Sooooo Tired... They're starting the re-roofing project on my building this morning. And I'm going to hang out with my mom today. She told me to call and get her up about 8am so I wouldn't have to sit here in the noise that long (when they did the building two buildings over, it was intolerably loud and gave me the worst headache, so there's no way I can be here when they do my actual building.) Anyway, Love wakes me up before he leaves for work and it's still quiet, so I figure I can keep dozing for a little while, thereby giving me and my mom a little more sleep. I couldn't get to bed until after 2am last night. I simply couldn't sleep. So, waking up at 7:45 isn't exactly the thing I wanted to do. They start talking and laughing and making a rukus and I roll over and try to ignore it. I'm used to hearing people talk outside my window in the parking lot despite being on the second floor all the damned time. Crappy windows. But then someone starts knocking on my door. Repeatedly. It's about 8:25am.
Three guys are standing there asking me, "Uh, do you own a...uh, saturn, or uh...a...uh....any of those...uhhhhh...cars out front? *points*" No, says I, sleepy and not interested in looking where he points. I have a mustang and my boyfriend already took it to work. "Oh, uh...sorry." Close door. Well so much for getting some more sleep. Now I'm up and out of bed.
Call my mom. She's sleepy too. Neither one of us really wants to do this yet and neither want to start our day quite this early. Bah. Well, now a half an hour later, they've still not started and dammit, if they would have just not bothered me by pounding on my door, I could have stolen a little more sleep. Humbug. Guess they can't bring the truck close into the building because there's still four cars parked out front. There's only four apartments with people in them (myself included) in this specific building, so I don't know who's cars they are. Assholes will probably tow 'em or something.
*grumps*
Anyway, it's too damned early. I'm tired. And I hate, no....loathe my apartment complex. I can't wait to get out of here. Soon I know, but all this week I have to be chased out of my apartment because they're so damned rude as to do construction with people still living in the buildings (they're making them over to sell as condos when we all leave) and they don't give a shit. I've got nothing even remotely started packing wise, no boxes and I'm super stressed over how I'm going to actually come up with all the money it is going to take to move. Like another $200 for the new power company's security deposit. Dammit. New county, new power company, new deposit. I have monthly bills I need to pay in addition to paying transfer fees and getting new services turned on. I don't know how it's all going to happen, I really don't. And I'm unbelievably stressed over it. I'm going to try to get some of my horns up on ebay for Halloween. Please, please let me know if you're interested in a pair - either something like I already have listed, or possibily in another color. I can pretty much make it to order. I really pretty desperately need to come up with some more cash, so every sale would help.
Better meander and start getting ready. Mom's going to be calling me soon to tell me she's leaving and I haven't managed clothing yet. ('Cause it's too damned early and I'm not even half awake.) Maybe I can nap on my mom's couch for awhile today... *chuckles*
Oh yeah, quick shout out to Humble today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Go wish him a good one.
Lazy, Sniffly, Sunday I did manage to get up and out of the house and Love and I met up with our friend Rand this afternoon. We walked around a neat Art Show that was taking place in a very cool little area with a lot of neat shops. Problem was that it was wicked hot out and I felt like someone ran me over with a steamroller. The not being able to breathe thing really takes it toll. Took a claritin so I wouldn't be blowing my nose ever 2.4 seconds, but I still feel like a wet noodle. In fact, when we got back to Rand's house, I pretty much passed out on the couch for awhile because I am so lacking in energy.
But, I got an email that cheered me up. They like me! They really like me! *chuckles* Reading that I'm "adorable" is a good way to bring a smile to my poor, chapped lips. ;)
And, a few entries down, I found a link to the most fun thing ever. Just trust me, you need to go play with this thing. It's all pretty and blue and makes the coolest images with your mouse. Shoo!
*yawns* I'm thinking a nice hot shower and some sleep would work right about now. I have to get up when Love does since they're going to be re-doing the roof of the building starting tomorrow. And, when they were doing the roof of the building two away from us - starting at 8am I might add - it was loud enough to shake my walls here. There's no way I can be in the apartment itself when it's going on directly above me. Dammit. So this week, instead of doing something useful, like, oh, packing, I have to flee my apartment at 8am and try to find somewhere to go so I don't get a migraine from the noise. Joy.
Ugh, my nose... So it's either the worst fucking allergies (to what I don't know) that I've ever had, or I'm somehow getting sick. I'm so miserable. My nose hasn't stopped all day. Running, sneezing, dried out on the inside. Now my lips are starting to chap and so is my nose from blowing it so much.
