Just My Luck... :P

I want these nails! Nails seem to be my latest SL addiction. I told myself I won't buy any for awhile til I start making some more lindens, so I'll wait patiently for these freebies.

Candy Nail has some really cute stuff. Sculpted nails, not the appliers. Go to their blog for the surl: Candy Nail

Just Another Day in Second Life...

I found my title :D  I won't be doing these regularly but, I'm having fun with this. The latest installment...

 What started out as nail shopping with Lala turned into a predicament!

This place is located at: *CaNDy NaiL* in Second Life.

Bunch of Stuff

It's been a bit of a struggle lately. The car broke down two weeks ago. The transmission died suddenly. Maybe it's repairable but, it would have cost more than the car is worth and, we were just ready for a "new" car.

Long story short, we are the new owners of an OLD Lexus. It was all our income would allow for. We bought it as-is and already we see a problem, and we're hoping it's not a big one. It smokes. We're not sure where the smoke is coming from, but it smells like oil. The oil pressure light hasn't come on. There is enough oil in it. I'm hoping someone just spilled oil during maintenance and it's burning itself off or something. Praying for it!

School starts this week, and because of the car situation, this creates another "hardship". The kids need school clothes. They also need binders and backpacks. I'm not sure what we'll do but, the kids are putting on a brave front and trying to be good sports about it.

On a positive note... school starts this week! I'll have some daytime alone time again :D I'll probably spend it cleaning and walking the dog but, soon I'll get a routine going and do some productive things.

I've pulled my sewing machine out of storage, and already it's been put to good use. The girl next door asked me to sew the seam on a blouse for her. I also pulled out some hanging quilt kits so maybe I'll start working on those soon.

For now, I think I'll make myself a bean and cheese burrito and jump on Minecraft.

Still Working on a Title

I've been wanting to start making random comic panels again, and I thought this would be a great start. I popped over to Genesis' to check out the really cool ship that Rin had put in, and he brings his dog over, Rembrandt. Apparently you can make him sleep only, unless you have particles showing, the... dog... looks... dead :( I had to turn particles back on to see the Zzz's.

I still haven't thought of a name for my panels. I was going to go with Hmm... but I'm thinking, I might just keep using Mish-Mash. Eh, I'll keep thinking about it.

At A Loss

My mother isn't a yeller. She's a screamer. She screams over everything, high pitched screams. If she stumbles over a pebble, she screams. If she sees something fly past her, she screams. If she thinks I'm going to step on the gas when I'm not.... she screams. That is the topic for today. Do these people not know that this makes everyone around them want to put a blindfold on them until they get to their destination?!

I was on a steep hill behind a car that was turning right. I was also turning right. I tapped my gas while looking to the left. I was making sure it was still clear for awhile so I can focus on the car in front of me. So yeah, tapping on the gas and... she screamed, for dear life! She screamed as if zombies were coming at the front of the car! She screamed as if a blind person were trying to drive. I'm not blind, and I'm not stupid. I have no tickets. I've never hit a car that didn't turn against a red in front of me. I'm a good driver. I'm a confident driver.... at least I was.

I used to be proud of my driving skills. I was courteous. I was defensive without being offensive. I would trust myself to drive a car full of babies to their mothers. I'm a good driver. Since I've started driving my near blind mother around to run her errands and such, I've been a nervous wreck. I'm afraid of driving alone now because I'm afraid I'm going to hit someone, or hit a car, or do something really stupid like drive up an off-ramp, which is what she makes me feel like.

I need to her to go with me now whenever I drive because I let her do this to me. I hate it. I can't stand it. I, a 42 year old woman, want to run away from home. But, I can't. I'm stuck. I need to get a job which would involve driving, alone. And right now, because she wrecked my head, I can't do this.

We got into a huge argument after the scream. She straight out told me that she doesn't trust my driving so I in turn, told her that I won't be driving her again. School season is starting. Busy season for a family of 5 is starting. Kids need driving. I have therapy and doctors appointments and a kid that I need to drive home now and then.

I'm really at a loss here for a solution. I need to get better, get a job, and get the hell out of dodge.
