Back to work!

I finally am stable!!  (well - as stable as I can be lol)  And I need to renew my Premium membership bc I'm stuck not being able to pick a new journal skin.  I just noticed it's 5:30pm and that means I need to make dinner.  I'm finally working on a new brush set.  I made a quick piece of digiart today.  I haven't been GIMPing much since last fall.  Always issues with my pc but now I have my tower set up in a good location with no internet issues and I also have a new Android tablet (Does anyone know if you can run GIMP on a tablet and if so - what's the installation process???)  Hopefully over the next month I'll finish all the brush sets I've started and get back to regularly submitting them.

A power surge fried my motherboard on my tower!  I'm so pissed!  I am working now from this laptop which is actually pieces of other laptops smooshed together. I'm not actually sure how I got it to work but I did.  The bad thing is that I cannot get GIMP installed.  I even tried portable GIMP.  At first I thought it was because I installed the wrong version of Python but I can never get past the pre-splash window that says GIMP is opening.  SIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHH.  I'm seriously having withdrawals.  I am going to get another motherboard from Tigerdirect.com and hopefully will be back to making brushes etc within the next month.  Until then, I hope everyone is enjoying the turn of summer into fall.  Here in Ohio it is just grey and gloomy.  Like it always is lol.

Sorry I have been not been around as of late.  I decided to move out of my house until my renovation is complete.  I also met a bricklayer who I have fallen madly in love with and am living with him atm.  Keira adores him but the momy bear in me still fights letting her get too attached just yet.  Perhaps I should just let go of my own insecurity of her father leaving us again and again and just take the plunge...

I am still GIMPing out so I will add my work whenever I get a moment to upload when I have an internet connection.  This truly is killing me - I feel so isolated.  I need to just call and have it set up at his house but now we are looking for a bigger placee and must be out of our current one by 6/22 so...  not top priority!  

As for my home, I have created a plan of action for having all remodeling complete by 9/15 at which point I will utilize the space as either a rental or an office/ studio.

Not much else to report.  I have a new boxer named Jake who I adore and my two gals Pinkypie and Asia have gotten their girl parts fixed so NO MORE PUPPIES!!!  HOOORAY!!!!!!!!  Now I just need to stop adopting every animal that comes my way LOL!

I've been so sick and hurried lately.  My best friend and her daughter who is six months younger than my daughter has moved into our house.  While I am thrilled!! =D, it's really hard right now with my livingroom and Keira's room completely torn down to the rafters and all of our belongings packed up.  To add to the misery the contractor comes over everyday and and spends the first  45 mins lecturing me on all the things in the space and how he cannot work around them.  (Excuse me sir but there are four people living in a 2 bedroom house - there isn't much room for us to go!!  Should we all camp out in the laundryroom or the restroom??  Perhaps the girls can sleep in the bathtub!!)   On top of that, I have come down with the flu whose vomiting made my esophogus rupture and now not close over my tummy - causing it to swell like I'm 7 months pregnant.  Four days after the flu hit, I came down with strep throat.  It is flooding here in Ohio, my taxes need finished, the car is permanently broken, the puppy is not getting potty trained very well, the Electric company is charging me for a new meter, the phone's about to be shut off and Ohio Edison still does not see it my way regarding the $1300 light bill......  And yet, thank god we don't live in Japan.  God be with those who do....


I'm going to try out GIMP2.8  Wastelander7 has got my interest piqued.  I've been trying out other photomanip programs but they all suck compared to PS and GIMP.  If I come across any good ones, I'll post.  I've been playing more and more with Inkscape and I :heart: it!!

But the most of my quietness lately is from the fact that I have not been issued my passport to travel to Serbia.  This is a dissapointment that makes my arms and legs feel heavy with sadness.  To top it off, another good friend, one whom drove me to the point of insanity up until now - is now on an extended vacation to which there is no definitive return date as of yet.  I didn't realize I would miss him as much as I do :-(  

I'm going to purchase a 14mp camera, either sony, fuji, or kodak.  I liked my 10mp GE but it does not work and my Kodak12mp is also broken.  I've been getting along wih the 5mp pink kodak.  I'm tempted to try out the digislr's but I'm afraid it would get broken in such a rough and tumble house right now.

C'est le vie I guess...
