Haven't posted anything in a few days....things at work have been busy. We've been getting ready to accept enrollments for next Fall. We also had conferences at the kids' school this past week. They were kinda fun...the kids lead the conferences and tell us about what they are doing.
We are also in the process of planning a trip to Disneyworld for Christmas!! I know...the most crowded time of the year...but can't be helped....with my job I have no vacation days even don't have summers off anymore as I work two days each week during the summer (I do go from 30 hours a week to 6 but still have to be there). Our family is talking about going with us...my aunt and uncle, niece and maybe my cousin and her son. I think P and I have it narrowed down to a decision to stay on the Disney property. We were looking at the option of staying in a vacation rental home and the whole family staying together but I'm kinda afraid of doing that...for one what if they cancel and decide not to go? two...can I really be in the same house with family for 9 nights??

This has just been one of those days!! We had a fundraiser going on at the preschool (its looking good so far), printer at work won't print off a document that I have to have for enrollment packets that I want to send out tomorrow, I had to let one of my employees go today, made a mess out of the deposit and had to go back to school to fix it before going to the bank again, and to top it all off I have a headache. Hmmm....come to think of it...all that is probably WHY I have the headache.

I did take a few minutes to play in paintshop but can't give it to the gal I made it for as the forum is having technical difficulties :-(

A start

I've been wandering around other people's blogs for awhile now and been considering starting my own.....so finally bit the bullet and went for it. I've been wanting somewhere to share things I've made, pictures I've taken, or just random musings.

If you know me in the real world...a little background...Feather is the nick I use online pretty much exclusively....Feather was a character that I wrote for in an interactive writing community that I belonged to. The story line began around the enchanted world of Avalon. Feather was a sprite with an un-natural attraction to humans...she found them fascinating for some reason. I wandered into the group through a contact made in a signature tag request group (which I'd found through a parenting group). I used my Feather nick when joining request groups. Soon just asking others to make tags for me to use in the group wasn't enough and I began playing in paintshop pro. Now I've been playing for --oh-- 8 or 9 years now. The nick Feather has stuck around even though the writing group was disbanded years ago (in fact the character still seems to think she has story left to tell).

Those who know me from paintshop forums/groups...well...lol...now you know the history of how Feather came to be...well...most of it anyway. Actually got the name from a random fairy name generator.
