Cats, Capitalists, and Transformations…
Capitalism and Transformations
I have to confess that I’m beginning to feel like a budding capitalist. Oops! I’m in business! 🙂
Also, I also have to confess that I’m feeling a little bit guilty about the preponderance of “Gee look at what I’m doing online” kind of posts which have appeared on my blog as of late.
But before all six of you who are reading this go all “99% on my not so skinny butt” let me connect the dots as to why me doing what I’m doing hooks up with me doing what I was doing.” Still with me? I hope so! LOL
This whole blog is a record of what is going on in my life as I try and move from
“out of shape, unemployed librarian” to “fit healthy in-shape full time writer and dance instructor”
At first the mission wasn’t so concrete and it certainly didn’t have the “unemployed” bit! At first, I had a job, I had a blog, I had a very large body and I was VERY Stressed out and UNHAPPY
Well, now for the first time in ages, I’m happy; I’m not stressed, well not much anyway. I still have the blog and the large body, but the 9-5 job is gone and my new job is transforming that body into something that I’m proud to call “my body.” However, to do that, well it takes money. *Siiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhh*
I literally did just sigh as I typed this. I kid you not! I did! I really did just sigh. Now I’m smiling at myself for being silly and sharing that tidbit with you but hey, this is me we’re talking about. LOL And we all know I’m a little bit silly. Ok, sometimes, I’m a lot silly
But I digress… (yes, I do that a lot, but that’s how my brain is wired)
SQUIRREL (if you don’t get the “joke” click on the link and all will become clear)
Oh, back to the post…

TMI Tidbit #2: What happens in the bathroom, Stays in the bathroom. Usually.
I can’t bear to watch!
Everybody does it.
Everybody knows that everybody does it.
It’s part of being human.
We don’t talk about it though.
At least, not in polite company.
But when we are with our friends and there is beer involved, then, the truth comes out….
…
…we all dance in the bathroom!
If you just got this mental image of ball gowns, feather boas, rhinestones and bugle beads, that would be bathroom of the drag queen who lives across the courtyard from me. She is a special case, as is her bathroom. Nope–I’m talking about the rest us, with garden variety “basic” “average” bathrooms. Although I must confess that my bathroom not quite “basic” nor “average” as it is tastefully decorated with a lovely “cats and books” theme done in browns, reds and rich wood tones.
Ahem. But I digress. 😉
Back to dancing in the bathroom.

I hadn’t planned on spending my vacation working…
…but that is exactly what has happened for the past three and a half days. I’ve been learning CSS and refreshing my rusty HTML skills, setting up my new CafePress Store:
Check out the cool logo to the right…
I did good! I likes it! I likes it!
And I did it all by myself!

I’ve been toying with the idea of opening an online shop selling t-shirts, mugs, buttons, etc., for ages. But I’ve never gotten around to doing it. I’ve got literally hundreds of quotes, quips, and design ideas jotted down on paper.
Most of the designs are dance related. Surprise! LOL!
Oh, and the other designs are LOL related. As in LOL Cats. You may have noticed that I’ve created a few LOL Cats for my blog, using them to illustrate whatever the topic at hand may be. I’m putting the best of those into the store first, since they represent already created artwork.

Driveshaft Drama: The Final Chapter–I’m a Papa!
It’s a boy!
Or a girl.
Ok, ok, it’s a TRUCK!
I know that ships are always “she” unless you’re Russian then ships are “he.” But trucks can be a he or a she and I haven’t driven it long enough to figure out it’s personality or it’s gender. But when I do, then I’ll have to pick out a name for it. (Note added Dec 24th — I named it “Tonks”)
Regardless, it’s MINE! All Mine! (so are the payments, but we won’t ruin the moment by talking about those!) I likes it though! I really really really REALLY likes it. And, just so we keep this whole “he’s having truck problems” related somehow to “fitness and health”, here’s the connection:..

Driveshaft Drama: The Continuing Saga…
This is going to set a record for my shortest post ever.
- I have found a new truck that I really like a 2009 Toyota Tacoma.. My #1 choice
- I have financing (they’re verifying the information pending final approval, but I have the financing).
- I’m negotiating the price (via email at this point)
- I’ve scheduled a test drive of the truck for Wed.
- I know what my old truck is worth as a trade in.
- I have insurance estimates for my # 1 choice and my #2 choice.
If everything goes well, I may be driving a new truck by the end of the week.
See ya on the dance floor!
