A Day of Mixed Emotions

Mon Nov 24, 2008, 5:12 PM
  • Mood: Sadness
  • Listening to: Puppy fooling around in his kennel
  • Reading: Shih Tzu's for Dummies
  • Watching: Dancing with the Stars, and Chuck during commercia
  • Playing: Nothing
  • Eating: Nothing
  • Drinking: Hy Vee Water Coolers (6 months with no soda!)
I know it has been a while since I had been on here, but tonight I just do not feel like doing anything that I should be doing. Today was one of those days that is like a roller coaster.

First of all, Petey, my big, lovable Persian cat that I have had for over 14 years had to be put to sleep today. About a month ago, after never spending one sick day in his life, he got extremely sick (I won't go into detail here) and had to spend a couple of days in the hospital. He lost a bunch of weight (this is a cat who, at one point in his life weighed 13 pounds and dropped to 8) and stopped using the box. Even when he showed some improvement and got to come home, we had to keep him confined in a bathroom because he could not be trusted to have the run of the house. Anyway, he was miserable and I just could not do it to him anymore. I have cried a ton (I know, ridiculous over a cat, but before I had kids, he was my kid) and am exhausted.

On the uphill side of the roller coaster, the 2008 yearbook is completed and should be here by Christmas. Long story, but it was deleted by a hacker last year in January and we had to start over. I cried about that one for a few day, too, believe me. Also, I finished the 2009 cover today and it will be shipped to the printer tomorrow, so we are right on plan for this year. And are hacker-proof now!

Anyway, that is my day. It was great and it sucked. I guess that is life.

It is so good to hear from you Mrs. Peters, it has been sooo long. I have been up to so many things. I am in adv. studio art now and I really enjoy the class, especially because theres only 5 people in there. But I have to say class is not the same with out you. But how is P.V. going, are you working on any cool projects, or have you entered in any contests?

Hey, it's me! Junior now! Time flies doesn't it??

But hey, I have a question.. What kind of materials did you use for the back board basketball record thing?? Like paints, and such.. I remmebetr you used a silver sharpie but I don't know what kind of paints and such.

Can you get back to me ASAP? I need to finish the (loads) of updates before season starts and I have it at home with me.

Get back to me when you get some time, please!

So good to hear from you! I see Coach Borrison is still pretty in tuned to who his artists are! I just used acrylic paint. If you have updates to make, I would lightly sand off the glossy finish and then paint over it - otherwise it will be too slick. Then, after you are finished, go over it with a couple of coats of glossy acrylic clear coat - they have it in the craft paint section at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Good luck - if you need any help let me know. I miss you guys! ' Can't believe you are a Junior! I ran into Brady at the Y!
