Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don't)

My boots are getting heavy. As the hour of Peter's arrival draws near, I find myself panicked and confused. For lack of a better expression, wtf? He is set to leave in six days on a cross-country adventure with a final destination of my apartment. I never understood why people made rash decisions in the 11th hour of major events. I do now. I'm scared and that doesn't aid in clear headed & clear hearted conclusions. I am human and I too suffer from the human dilemma in that I have paradoxical feelings about all major events and areas of my life, including this one.

Sometimes I wish I'd created this blog anonymously so that I could talk through my anxieties with brutal honesty with no worries of exposing the personal details of other people's lives in a public setting. As it stands now, I edit, omit and sometimes spin to see the positive in things even if only for presentation. That is not to say I am reticent or disingenuous in my writing, but it usually results in large gaps between posts.

I also have a monkey on my back tendency to get wrapped up in the big snowballs that are my possible futures, each built with the sharp rocks of what-ifs and packed hard for devastation upon impact. I know there is really no "right" or "wrong" choice, but I fear making the wrong one none the less. This is the source of much of my dilemma. I get wrapped up in the deadly snowball and I have to find a way to locate the snowflake that is knowing what is right for me. I plan to spend time in meditation for the next day or two and hope to find some clarity underneath the shadow of much mental chatter, fear and doubt.

last two shows of the season this weekend



Happy Holidays
Enjoy the Season

I have been thoroughly enjoying the twinkling lights scattered among the houses from one neighborhood to the next. From Avondale Estates to Cabbagetown to Virginia Highland; from simple, elegant, single color light displays to gaudy, over the top decorations a-la Clark Griswold, I love them all. I wish there were more opportunities throughout the year to decorate with light.

Coming up this weekend are your last two opportunities to check out Sudstress products in person. This Saturday I am excited to take part in Pink Saturday inside the cute Cabbagetown cottage of miss Talulah B. for Talulah's Annual Holiday Shopping Extravaganza. The first 30 attendees will receive a free gift bag which will each include a sudstress cutie pie slice among other goodies from all the vendors.


Please join us on Saturday, December 12, 2009 from 11 am to 4 pm at the Cabbagetown studio for some serious holiday shopping (for others or for yourself). Festive snacks and beverages will be served and swag bags will be given to the first 30 guests to arrive.

gaH! ...tired

Delirious. I've been up for 15 hours already and it's just after 8 pm. I had a holiday show today and there is always an accompanying lack of sleep. I have one more weekend of shows before the big 2-5. You can swing by on Saturday or Sunday to whichever one floats your boat.

Also, I have resolved to be consistent in my newsletters now that I've joined Mail Chimp to make it easier to keep peeps up to date on new product news and offer subscriber only discounts, sales and special deals.
