For those of you who might be interested....

Here's a baby huntsman we have currently living in our kitchen. He's currently about the size of a quarter (and, yes I know how big a quarter is now! Heh) and extraordinarily cute at this stage (as all babies are). He tends to live in one corner, but I've had to move him away as I've been painting (am currently painting the kitchen) because I certainly don't want to kill him. I did try to put my hand beside him in the photo, so you could get some idea of his size, but he had a major panic attack and was running all over the place and I'm sure his wee life flashed before his eyes. ;~P

Hubby named him last night. :~D

Being bad today.  Mood is highly unstable which I blame wholeheartedly on the fact that my period has come a week early.  *sigh*  Still, on the positive side - that means I get to be fertile while the moon is waxing, which ALWAYS = wonderful creativity for me.  Muse is probably creeping up behind me as I type.  *glances over shoulder*

Wish I could write.  I haven't written anything in MONTHS.  I ache to write.  But every time I open a file to do it I just sit gazing at the blank screen.  :~(   Want to draw too.  Must finish folio first though...

I'm copying the audio book of GoF at the moment.  (told you I was being bad) But it's so much fun to listen to while doing the dishes and shit like that!  Makes the time fly and I hardly notice the work.

GAH! The kids'll be home in half an hour and what have I got to show for today???  Nothing!  (apart from a couple of loads of clothes on the line and the dishes washed) Hate that. 

Couldn't believe it when LOTR won best pic at the Academy Awards last night. (and so it should have!) First time ever a 'genre' film has won.  WOW, they'll be letting an SF or an action film win next and I'll think I've slid into an alternate universe or something! 

Bah!  Washing machine calleth....

Finished that window frame today.  Feeling good about that.  :~)  Stencilled nice celtic patterns onto it and have received very positive responses from the rest of the family.  Now I have to think of something to do with the kitchen walls that will match it...  Currently contemplating going all out and doing a sky ceiling!  It's such a crappy old, little kitchen, painting it like that will take my (and everyone else's) mind off it's crappiness.  And keep my creativity active.

Got two of the kids home tomorrow plus minding one extra. *glares at school*  Fecking 'pupil free days'.  Then ALL the schools are going on strike on Wednesday!  Bastards.

On a brighter note...

NEW COMPUTER!  *does Happy Dance*  Better...stronger...faster... *cue 6million$Man music*  Gah!  Now I'm really showing my age.  Now I'm learning to drive said computer.  Looking forward to being able to run Painter on this one!!!

Wow!  I can't believe it; I actually got off my arse and built a website today!  My very first.  :~)

Already it's not doing exactly what I want it to do, but I'm not sure if that's due to my lack of knowledge or the limitations of the site.  Still, it's all good practice, eh?

Should have been working on my folio but my guilt is lessened somewhat by the knowledge that the building of a website is a very necessary skill for my trade.  So I wasn't really wasting my time.

Spent yesterday painting the window frame in the kitchen!  Which, although it despreately needed it, really could have waited until I'd finished my folio thing.  But son, Ben, brought home the audio version of Goblet of Fire, so I spent the day listening to that and had to do something at the same time so... 

Window looks good!  :~)
