I'm so excited, I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight! In fact, I don't think I've been this ecstatic since Christmas when I was 6
I got a new car today!!!!! Now that's exciting enough all by itself, but, when you add the fact that it's my dream car, and a completely unexpected GIFT....WOW!!!!!!!
There's a story behind this of course I haven't had my own car for nearly 10 years now. Mine (a gorgeous 1981 Grand Prix) had been totaled in an accident back then, and going through a divorce, financial devastation and trying to provide for my son and daughter, well suffice it to say that my budget just didn't allow for even the smallest luxury.
The years went by and with patience and perseverance I raised my kids, kept our home, and in the last 3 years finally got my head above water. Missing not having a car and the freedom it afforded me, but happy and getting by using my son's truck when needed.
Well, today my son came home from work, called me outside and handed me the keys to a gorgeous, fully loaded, black 1987 Grand Prix.
Why? "because of everything you done for me Mom, you're the best,
and I love you more than anyone"
Did I cry? HELL YES!! Because of the gift of the car? Oh sure, a little. But mostly because of the words. Because, despite the hardships, the struggles and sacrifices, it's all been worth it. Just to hear those words and to know that the things I've done are appreciated. That's the best gift ever!

Erasure damn it!!
I'm generally fairly computer literate which is and has been a good
thing given the amount of time I spend on a computer. It's also a good
thing given the number of viruses, trojans, worms and the like that lurk
in the wings waiting for opportunity to infect the home PC.
A couple of weeks ago my PC was bitten by a nasty bug. The H1N1 of
computer viruses. Damned thing kicked my butt! I spent 5 days researching, deleting, wrestling with files that didn't belong and finally admitted defeat. I saved what I could (thank goodness for external hard drives) and reformatted.
I did lose a few things, and in the long run I suppose it's good to hav

Here I am peacefully browsing my way through the DA stock section and what should I see but my second set of Grasslands brushes (preview image MINUS all the blatant copyright marks on it) posted on THIS twit's page ~linker123 (https://www.deviantart.com/linker123)
How big of an idiot do you have to be to take a set of popular brushes, post them on a HUGE art community website and expect that NO ONE will recognize them????
He apparently downloaded them from the ever popular, uber-sleazy "Rapid Share". They have been informed in no uncertain terms to remov
Time, 3 V's and a D80
How is it that time seems to pass by so quickly? One day it's warm and sunny and I'm planning my holidays and the next time I look up it's cold, the leaves are turning and it's October. Life really needs to slow down just a little.
3 V's
Vacation...At long last, a much needed break...however...2 weeks is not nearly enough! *lol*
Victoria...Where I spent my vacation and I was so happy to go back. Two years was too long to wait. Loads of pics of course which I will be uploading eventually.
Vehicular Mishaps... My 2nd day in Victoria, my niece is driving me to Mount Doug and we get creamed right in the middle of an intersection. She was fin
