thanks mama!
Love to you too, I am so excited for you about school! You did it, and will keep at it. You are a film maker, how awesome is that?
I won't be returning to school, I have decided to be content with the degree I have and focus on what I do best, which is writing. I love books so also the bookstore, and I love sewing/crafting so also my Earthy Style line. Subbing has been great, I really like teaching, but I just don't have the time to commit to an actual teaching career, let alone finishing out the certification program. It was a hard decision but I'm glad I made it because it freed up so much time for me!
you have had a time of things!!! I am so proud of you for making it through the water leakage, you did it! Mars is a trooper also. I got a boost just from reading your posts!

2 weeks to go, finish hard
2 weeks to go, finish hard and strong girly. Proud does not cover the feeling I have for you! I know you'll get a fabulous job this Summer and get the chance to kick back with Mars, I know she's been a little heroine too this year.
Take the best possible care of you and yours

man, was i hoping to hear from you today!
rescue is almost complete - this year has been extremely challenging and yet, the most rewarding year of my life. thank you for your support, friendship and love!
mars got really upset last night over the schedule, she broke down and cried when it came time for her to go to the sitters. *not like her at all*. i ended up taking her with me to work. i want to figure out more, create better opportunities, more for us, without it being tiring for her, without it taking up so much time for both of us. i'll get there.
i want to create a life that is filled with fun and adventure - i think this small step, is helping us to get there.
i want to be wrapped up in success, i really need this.
i was studying into the wee hours last night, history test today, and i took tonight off to work with my editor.
i love you girl, keep truckin!

Poor Mars! I know she's a
Poor Mars! I know she's a little powerhouse so she must have been knackered, I think they do get a little tired at this time of year anyway and I bet she is ready for the Summer! I know I couldn't manage without the babes dance stuff as its childcare that feels fun and I have to say its actually cheaper then a sitter! I know the right solution for both of you will present itself and the great thing is they get older and tougher every day!
I am thinking of you grinding it out, 99% perspiration, 1 % inspiration, or is that 99% inspiration, 100% perspiration! keep going!
I am plotting a wax today, yes after many years my lady parts have found an avid and commited public audience! Things seem to have got a little flufier in certain regions than I remember so I may commit fully to a Brazillian. Is that appropriate for a feminist website? This is a first time thing and I think aesthetics are important, as well unrestricted, unrelenting access! I think he is in the easily pleased category but its been a while for him too! He deserves the best!
keep going sweet heart
Love ya

i am still not a feminist and i say: wax them bits!
i am so proud of you - diving head first into love! romance, adventure, lust - the good stuff! this makes my heart dance - i say: wax on/wax off daniel son!
thank you for supporting my temporarily hectic, but completely meaningful schedule - my bones are ready for rest tonight and i have one quick paper to write, then i'm off to sleep for few hours, wake up and present the rough cut for: "rescue".
the white font on black background looks amazing, i will share this movie publicly for a short time - and all the non-profits will use it forever. until i come back to make a sequel.....i'm proudest of this piece - i still love: "computer love". but something dynamic has shifted in my work and storytelling.
i am crying when i write this and blind with passion. i am a fool! who do i think i am, to try to pull something this big off? i am uncertain, but i had to do it. had to try.
mars is in bed watching "pretty in pink" for the 110th time, she loves to fall asleep to this film, and i do too!
i am manifesting some more help tonight - i want someone to come in and watch mars in our home next year if i must work - i am hell bent on not doing it the same way, but i am nervous. i still haven't heard back from any scholarships, and i need to know where i stand for next year.
the filming is intense, double what we did this year, if not more - you end up living in the studio, and i want to do it, but i need more money, time and helping hands. i am dreaming them up.
men are reaching out to me and i'm a bit scared, sharene has taught me that that part is good.
i am ready to dive in!
head first as always - wish me luck!
your friend and wax comrade! CX
Who do you think you are?!?
Who do you think you are?!? You're a film maker and now the world is gonna know it too! I can't wait to see this film it sounds amazing, I can almost see it in my minds eye, little flashes and spins.
Child care in the home sounds like a great way forward and will definitely cut down on tiredness, does your childcare have to be "legit"/ registered for funding purposes? or can it be a little more informal cause if it can what about a college student who could combine some tutoring/homework supervision with childcare?
I Love the karate kid and that wax is coming right off! I had another mind blowing make out session last night that has left my lips all swollen and red and my legs like jelly. I am starting to see how a man can actually be a life enhancer rather than a drain, who knew?! This person knows whats up in the makeout department and we are just waiting for his test results to come back and then its all over! It was nealy all over last night but he is a very self disciplined, NOT like me!
Good luck today, you're gonna kill it!

i think you're onto to something!
i can't believe that i had overlooked getting someone from the school to watch mars, that is crazy train 101!
thank you for the amazing compliments, i think that you'll like this film alot, i'm planning on making it 10-15 minutes and handing it over to them to use immediately, and submitting this original version to the north west film forums "local sightings" film festival. i'll come back next year to pair it down into a shorter piece, if they need something shorter to fundraiser with, we'll see.
i'm a bit fatigued today, but i'm heading out to see a siff film to rejuvenate before shooting tonight with ticia.
the make out session! you rule for doing this! GET IT! pronto! i'm happy and excited to hear that you guys are gearing up for more, this guy is really a gem, i'm glad that you crossed paths with him when you did. the timing couldn't be better.
i love that you are ready to rock and roll and he's able to put on the breaks - this is a winning combo!
jump in for more adventure/action when the timing is right!
have fun, no matter what!
love and i'm so proud of you girl!
