AAAhhh!
For the past few weekends I've been working on a stained glass panel for my best friend. It's a panel with her and her fiance's new monogram and I'm planning to give it to them as a wedding gift next week. This thing has taken me forever to make. It's been the hardest piece I've done. Finally after a lot of mishaps I was soldering on the loops to hang it by andone of the pieces broke. I want to cry. Apparently the heat of the soldering iron cracked the glass and it busted when I picked it up. I'm sooo pissed. I held it up to the light and saw a couple more cracks, but I don't think they'll break. So now I have to spend another night cutting, grinding, and soldering on a replacement piece. Sometimes I hate making art.

I Like Busy
I'm working my full time summer job now, and really enjoying it. I've figured out one thing about myself lately; I like busy. I prefer to be busy and slightly frazzled and dizzy. To me, for some reason it's enjoyable. I like to feel important and like I have lots of things to do which contribute to something somehow. My job is fairly tedious, and it's what some might term "busy work" but I love it. I have a million things to do between tomorrow and Friday morning when I leave, and I kind of relish in it. I thrive on pressure, it's what I do.

A Few Tips
Some tips for the men in the audience.
#1 Calling a girl sexy is nice…sometimes. If you want to compliment your woman, yes calling her sexy is nice, but not if it’s the only compliment you pay her. There are millions of “sexy” women out there. All a woman has to have to be considered sexy is a pretty hot body. There are a lot of women in the world with hot bodies, especially with the advent of fake tits, ass, and everything else. Chances are you’ve looked at a few women in the course of the day and thought they were sexy, maybe even told them so, so going home and telling your woman she’s sexy really doesn’t mean that much. Tell your woman she’s beautiful. There may be a lot of “sexy” or “cute” women in the world, but beauty is hard to come by. When a woman hears that you think she’s beautiful, it means something. Beauty is not only the outside, but the inside as well. Beauty is a presence, not just a nice ass. If you really want to give your woman a heartfelt compliment, let her know you think she’s beautiful.
#2 Don’t take your woman for granted.
A. As it is in most cases, you’ve probably hooked up with a woman you think you’re pretty lucky to be with, and maybe in the beginning you let her know, but as the relationship ages you’re probably slipping into the Comfort Zone. The Comfort Zone is a bad place to be. When you come in the door from work don’t walk past her and say, “hey, what’s for dinner?” Stop for a second, give her a hug and a kiss and say, “hey, honey!” It’s as easy as that. For extra measure if you want to, you can even ask how her day was. I’d bet $10 that when you don’t rush past her, she does that to you.
B. Women like to know that they are appreciated, and that the small things they do don’t go unnoticed. If she washes some of your clothes, does the dishes, cooks for you, etc. tell her thanks. It doesn’t matter if it is an everyday thing that needed to be done, letting someone know you noticed and appreciate what they have done is just common courtesy, and common courtesy can go a long way. Chances are your woman thanks you for the small things like cooking dinner, mowing the lawn, helping clean the house, etc. Do the same for her.
#3 Small romantic gestures are never bad. Another pitfall of the Comfort Zone is that you stop doing the small things you used to do in the beginning. Just because you’ve got her now doesn’t mean you have to stop being sweet to her. These small gestures are just that, small. You don’t have to buy her new diamond earrings, or set up a romantic dinner. Next time you’re grocery shopping and you pass by the flower section; stop and pick up a bouquet of $10 carnations, or hell, maybe just grab her favorite candy bar. You don’t even have to spend money; leave her a sticky note on the mirror that says you love her or wishes her a great day. If you want to keep you woman happy remember to show her in small ways that you love her.

Manic/Depressive
It's so odd that I can seem to have days where nothing can go wrong and then the next day my world seems to be falling apart. I believe I'll stay in bed under the covers all weekend. I'm so over this right now.
