RTBTCKI (Winter Olympics 2010 Edition)
Feb. 18th, 2010 11:43 amI have been watching the Olympics. Not as consistently as I have in years past but part of that has to do with how little actual contests I am seeing as apposed to all the feel good stories that they are telling. And the analysis and color commentary and going over what may happen or what did happen is just killing it for me. Yes, I did see the Koreans wipe out in speed skating. I saw Shaun White get another gold and do some sick tricks in the half-pipe. I have seen some exquisite figure skating. But I am changing the channel a lot which I never use to do.
This weekend Caroline goes off to Siblings Weekend with her sisters. Peter and I have a couple of days with just us. We have some plans and some theater tickets if it all works out. She has had overnights with her cousins and with my parents before. She had been taken care of by Shana while Peter and I were off on a trip. So going away from home and staying somewhere else are not foreign to her. She is looking forward to her time with her sisters. I will miss her a lot but I know that she is old enough to go off on these sort of adventures. She will also be seeing her paternal grandparents, her aunt and uncle, and her cousins so it will be good for them too.
I have one of those cricks in the neck that happen when you sleep funny. It is making my head turning a little difficult or more difficult than it usually is since that side of my neck doesn’t turn correctly anyway due to an injury back in college. I am hoping that aspirin will take care of it. If not, then I am going to try the heating pad.
I am really thinking about setting up an Etsy shop for the puppets and dolls. I need to do some research as to how to do this and I have been told that the online FAQ is very user friendly. I just have to take some pictures and figure out some prices. My hurdle is really selling myself and my work. I am very good as selling other people’s work but I tend to be shy about mine. Something to think about.
Something I worked on but can’t talk about yet is being bandied about and any good thoughts, prayers, and/or energy would be appreciated. It would be nice to have something go my way on a professional level.
The sun is out today. Makes sunglasses a necessity when stepping outside. The snow is melting even though the temperatures are low. My bigger concern is black ice this evening and a few very large icicles hanging from the house.
I am grateful for the parts of the Olympic games that interest me.
