Oopsie
Oops! I had disabled comments by accident. You can comment away now! Thanks to Alyson (not ALLyson) for bringing this major technical failure to my attention!
Heck, while I'm here I'll bla bla for a little bit. So, I am very aware millions upon millions of creative people are part of this fantastic club: The I have no friggin' time to put pants on properly, let alone carry on with my 94873973 projects club. I have SIX major projects that are my absolute top priority at the moment, but with a 30ish hour a week job (I know that's better than a 50-hour-week job, but still), a very slow pace (I've come to the conclusion that I am just slow at everything.... except devouring cupcakes, but who's keeping track of time in critical moments such as those?), a need to sleep 7-8 hours, food for two to cook (and clean the kitchen myself), go through a 50-60 minute daily commute (i HATE that, for my next job {which I hope will be away from Vegas} I will bike, walk, carpool, bus, whatever to work, sadly I can't do any of that here), and the required Heroes and CSI (oh I am dreading February when Lost comes back).... well it's really hard to finish anything at all.
These are my projects, in semi-order of priority:
01) Edit Cecilia and Lincoln's 500-ish wedding pictures (shot this past weekend)
02) The Yearbook... yeap, as in MY high school yearbook. It's been 7 years since graduation. I think it's time this wretched thing gets finalized.
03) My Winter coat...which I am sewing. The cold has reached Vegas, finally. (Must also buy proper shoes...flip flops aren't so awesome during 30 degree winters).
04) Create and add products to Star Magnolia's Etsy shop. Not open for business yet. I'd like to have a mini sale by Xmas time. We'll see how that works, I remember saying the same thing back in July.
05) Learn about textile design. You might say this is trivial, but I digress. This just might get me far far away from Vegas, which is actually my Number 1 priority (yeap, I hate this town).
06) Update my website/portfolio. Important for the reason stated above.
So as you can see, I'm a busy busy busy busy bee. I have not socialized at all in Vegas because of all these projects. If they weren't important, I'd be out there. Possibly releasing charming pheromones to catch me a tall, handsome guy who cherishes Star Wars and Airplane alike. Oh well, that will be postponed till next year (it's not like I have time for a relationship, anyways!).
I am trying to devise a scheduling system of sorts. This may turn out to be a flop, but I need to give it a try, otherwise frustration over not accomplishing anything will set in... and, well, I'm sure we all know how that feels.
So.... yeah. Anybody know how to cope with this?

I have no room to talk. I seem only to have time to work and the weekend passes and somehow, all those projects I was dreaming of never got worked on. Sigh.
