I was browsing around Meininger Art Supply today for stuff I need for my class. I wish I money to buy paints and an easel and had a place where I could just get totally messy and not care if I dripped paint on me and on the floor. I mean, I have my craft room, but it has carpet and not a whole lot of room to fling paint around. There is also no room for an easel.

I wish I could take a leave of absence from school again. The class I'm currently taking involves putting a portfolio together. Unfortunately, that takes money. Lots of money. I don't happen to have any. I spent $70 alone yesterday and today (all I can spare at the moment). That only began to put a dent in what I need to spend. I asked for 5 days this week at work to make as much money as possible, but I guess since everyone is back from holiday vacations, it isn't to be. That totally sucks. I still need to buy or build a portfolio case, get some good paper, get ink for my printer and pay to have some of the pieces professionally printed. I really don't see how this is going to happen. What really sucks is we haven't begun anything. I was really looking forward to this class being at this time because we had the two week break to work on stuff. Well, the teacher missed the first two classes and then we were given the supply list in the third class. I could've worked on tweaking some of my work, but I worked alot over the break and didn't really have time. Oh, well. I'll have time this week since I won't be working as much. *sigh*

Well, I guess I'd better get to bed.

I'm sitting here watching Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Even as a crazy pirate, Johnny Depp is damn dreamy. That Orlando Bloom guy (from Lord of the Rings) is pretty darn good looking, too.

I heard this on the radio when I was driving around last night and wanted to post about it: Apparently, Indonesia now has the largest snake in captivity. It's a reticulated python. The thing is 49 feet long and weighs almost 1,000 pounds. It's capable of eating a human, but actually eats dogs. Wow.

So, my first ever fondue party was a success. The only thing that could've made it better would have been if I didn't have to work and could've prepared things at my leisure instead of at a frantic pace when I got home at 8:30. Anyway, I served steak, chicken and shrimp to fondue in hot oil, I had swiss cheese fondue with bread and chocolate fondue with a variety of fruits and pound cake. Yummay!!! Chris brought his salsa concoction (quite tasty) and chips. Dave arrived at 11:45 (he had to work 'til 11) with the champagne so we could toast in the new year.



Someday I'll have a coffee table that everyone can sit closer around and it will work better, I think. Anyhoo, I sat and talked with Dave until 4 am, then I went to bed. Now I get to go back to work. Yay.
