stressed

i'm feeling more than a little stressed out this week. and sadly, i think its mainly b/c of the business. not my full time job (which luckily is a bit slow, but the boss is back in the office Tues), not my part time job (which is busy b/c we have an event coming up on Dec 14 and the invites are going out and RSVPs will start), not really the show (which i think will just come to me as time goes on), not really the wedding (since its over 6 months away) but the damn business. and what's sad, its the scheduling that's stressing me out. Pigpen has LOTS of jobs to do and there just aren't enough hours of daylight, not enough employees, and too many leaves to get everything done. and customers (new ones especially!) keep calling--up to 6 a day. I called 4 new people back this morning for Pigpen and told them that he couldn't get to them before next Wed. THAT'S CRAZY! he's almost booked for the next week!!! now i know i should be happy about that, but its stressful. esp since I just looked at weather.com and its supposed to be rainy and windy most of next week. hard to blow leaves when the wind is working against you and the leaves are wet. ugh. actually, i think the stress is the business on top of EVERYTHING else, even if they don't seem busy, its everything put together. at least i have a wedding photographer, a DJ and a tent. yipeeeeeeeee! the nice thing is that Pigpen is talking excitedly about the wedding. :) i'm still doing all the planning, but he's looking forward to it!

I think i'm going to be blowing leaves on thanksgiving if the weather holds...

the boy's character

Pigpen decided to make a South Park character tonight. Does he look evil or what?!??! Its a little bizarre with such a nice background. He's lucky I'm still marrying him. :)

How should I use this?

I'm trying to figure out if I should use this blog to bitch about my future mother in law, figure out my issues with my ex-husband, or whine about my job. I think I need to ponder it a bit more. All three seems a bit selfish--but again, I am an only child.

some comic relief on a shitty day

"little miss muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey. along came a spider who sad down beside her and frightened ms. muffet away. then muffet went back and checked her gun rack, grabbing a .357. finding the spider, she sat down beside her and blew that poor sucker to heaven."the uncut version from the Pearls Before Swine comic strip by Stephan Pastis

Boy, was I wrong!

Wow, I thought this blog would pull me in and I'd get no work done. And then I took on a second job. I'm stupid. But maybe I'm back? The spring should be light. I can keep everyone up to date on my wedding plans for June. How exciting!

So, like my bud who writes about science made a SouthPark character so I did the same. Kick ass...

The background she's in is called "heaven." Figured its the closest I'll get to heaven being all anti god and everything. :) But I hope they have ice cream after death. I love ice cream.
