Well, I Moved My Life To Anderson, Switching To A Different Blog!!

I am now set up and writing from out here in Anderson, CA. I no longer live in Redding!  Please visit my studio blog at http://brokeneckstudio.blogspot.com   to see what I have been up to and what is currently going on in my life!
I love it here in my quiet little neighborhood, so far I have seen quite a bit of the town, but I still do not get out that much and it is hard to write about what you haven't seen!  So hopefully I will get something rolling out here soon!

Little Sisters

They get in your stuff, tattle every chance they get, pull every mean stunt they can think of, follow you around like a puppy till you scream, infuriate you beyond reasonable means!  Then they have the audacity to make you love them... and now mine has the gall to fall irreparably ill....

Damn her anyway...

Inaugural Pot Of Menudo Gets Two Thumbs Up!

I believe His words were "The best pot ever made!"
Since I have made Mucho Menudo, this is really saying something!

He (SHE) Who Laughs Last... /or/ More Simply Put... Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Noogies!

How do you spell PLLLLLLT! (?) or even do it without spitting on your screen?  Well, anyway, that goes out to the Realtor that responded to an inquiry with the statement that we couldn't find anything "livable" in our price range... So, here I sit, in my new house!  Woo-Hoo!  I'm clear sailing, off into the sunset now!  It really IS all about ATTITUDE!

Clint and Mindy Cronic at Next Generation, Sheila Karlowsky over at Vitek and their respective crews were behind us all the way!  We know they did not make much $$ on our sale (sail), but they were still in there up to their (eye)balls, holding on tight, painting the deck and praying for no leaks in the hull!  Considering how much we did not know, the amount of "hand-holding", putting up with my OCD AND the fact that they had to hustle for every single dime, they all deserve way more kudos than I am capable of heaping!  :)

My Honey, being who he is, set a land speed record for single handedly moving his entire household (including a large storage unit) in just over a weekend! Of course I had to restrain myself from killing him at least a dozen times over that same period as he brow beat and wrung every ounce of available juice from my G-daughter and myself, but it did get done!

So today, I am taking a moment to bask in the glory of having my own roof over head, internet, a phone and a hot cup of coffee!  YaY!

Then I better get to crack-a-lackin on this mountain of boxes! :)

For Today, A Short Recap On "How I Broke My Neck And Now My Life Sucks!" Or, Pity Party Part III

Okay, so 3 years ago I broke my neck while fixing my daughters Bronco, which I had no business up to my neck on in the first place! Long story here!  So, a few lingering nerve issues later, well, more exactly, a bizzare one in 300,000 condition called Arachnoiditis w/ Myoclonic Dystonia!  We just call it the Herky Jerky's!  I am trying to get on with a life, live and do what I can to function and be as normal as I can.

I was actually doing okay, polishing up some old artist skills and trying out some cool new works!  I even took First AND Second place again at a local County Fair!  WooHoo!!  Then comes the Mountain Road Man!  What a wild one that is, tale that is, true, but incredible!  Seems this guy Actually owned the road where we lived and was calling off all bets. see post 9/21/08, 9/25/08 for longer version. We were forced to move out suddenly, and thank GOD for our Step-Up-To-The-Home-Plate friends J&D, we have had a place to live since then.  We are currently trying to purchase a house that we have had a bid in since Sept 9, 09, yup almost 6 months of sitting on our little hatchling of hope!

Now I had a disasterous Gallbladder issue that laid me up since Valentines Day with massive surgery, hospital and medication nightmares!

But here I am, I swear, I get knocked down, but I get up again!  You ain't never gonna keep me down! :)
