A Little Bit of Everything
Aug. 26th, 2009 10:24 amThe mother-in-law has been living with us since Saturday, and while I was originally mourning the loss of my independence I am pleasantly surprised that it's not been so bad. She leaves in the morning with her twelve year old son to do things together -which they both really need, and I end up with some time to myself. But even when she doesn't leave I'm still not feeling too crowded. If anything it's kind of been better.
I've been getting my arse outside and walking the dogs two to three times a day. They're sleeping better, I'm sleeping better, and you know... it helps with the diet thing =P When my husband went away to the car show it sort of bombed, haha.
Anyway, there's a chance I could make quite a bit of money doing graphics if I wasn't such an oddball. I fixed up my husband's friend's vbulletin last month; a banner, tons of icons, buttons, gradients, etc. While they were away to the car thing in Ohio this friend told my husband a guy he knew paid someone $750 to make a banner... and mine was better. OHSNAP! xD He said if I charged for my work I could easily make over a thousand with all the different things. Seems rather excessive to me for just a vbulletin skin, but okay. I don't know if I'd be able to handle it though. I've never dealt well with a lot of pressure, and his vbulletin just happened to come out awesome... probably because he had an idea of what he wanted, so I went with it. I'm doing his other vbulletin now and it's not going as well. The icons are kicking my ass, I have no idea what to do, lol. I suppose I'll figure it out at some point.
In other news, I got some writing in! Reworked Sloane's part 15. It's now shorter but 16 is an extension of it; I thought it should stand alone. I'm not quite sure how to start it but I've got the ideas rolling around in my head. Too bad it'll completely mess up 17, but eh... it was kind of weak anyway. At least 18 won't be affected. I can't wait to see a heavily pregnant Sloane waddling around, tehe. It'll also be nice to talk about the baby's father by name. I hate not being able to say it!
