We are pretty darn broke. After being out of work for more than 2 years (but more on that later), we have scraped right on through the bottom. This really sucks during the Holidays, but I actually anticipate a fabulous Christmas this year: we are going to have an old-fashioned handmade Christmas!
Admittedly, this is probably a bit easier for me than for most (I have lots of jewelry ideas and plan on making some fused-glass ornaments). Sorry guys ;o) But it is the thought and the heart that counts, and I can't wait to see what handmade treasures the kids come up with.
The focus of this blog is a departure from my usual discussion about what it is like to live with Narcolepsy. However, the ArtFire folk are holding a contest and the winner will get a Digital SLR camera! I could really use that camera, so here you have it... my blog about our upcoming handmade holiday.
Stay tuned, fair readers, more narcolepsy and relationship analysis to come. And some very exciting/fun information about my work life!
Cheers,
Trish
Seriously, Trish, get a book written: between your scientist background and your experiences with this situation, you're on a best seller already. Do it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Matt and I have considered writing a book together (sort of an alternating chapters format)...
