Frustrating Losing It All...Again!

So I went to work on Sunday, came home, and Curtis was rebooting the system.  Come to find out, the whole computer was practically crashed and lost just about everything.  Luckily, the computer had given my boyfriend the option of backing up the files.  So, I technically didn't lose anything, I just have to go digging around the back ups to find it.

This is very frustrating to me seeing as I had lost my laptop, lost his laptop, lost the old computer TWICE.  So, it got me a little discouraged.

However, I am feeling much better now and just wanted to say that I am working very hard on all these projects I've been dropping hints about.  Pocketful Of Insight will officially be set up and running as soon as I finish the video footage for the tattoo expo from Vegas.  Then it shall have new posts every other day on products/movies/music/whatever I feel like.

As well, I have been working on my friends and mine's Zazzle account/designs.  A lot of the old ones need retouching and some just need to be deleted, period.  Though, this is also discouraging when your friend sees it as a fun little side thing and you're trying to put your heart into it!  I wish I could draw like him because then I wouldn't to worry about.  I could easily take it over myself when he goes away to doctoring school.  Sigh.

Then there is the money/work issue.  My job is very...well, not well put together and I get about five scheduled hours a week.  Minimum wage + ten hrs every paycheck = me not making enough.  Not to mention, Curtis got demoted at work just so they cut his pay and save a few bucks.  So he's depressed and stressed about bills, I'm stressed about bills and depressed about the computer.  It just equals one big fail of a week.

So you see, whoever you are... I have been very discouraged lately.  But this does not mean I have given up hope on my writing.  In fact, it has put a fire under my bum, moving me into motion!  I have wrote up the rough, rough draft of my book.  I will be working HARD on that.  I have discussed new design ideas with Hugo.  And, I have put most of the Las Vegas footage together and finished the article.  I have been doing a lot, just nothing for the public eye.  This needs to change.

And it will.
Very soon.

Woo

Long time no post.

So, Vegas was absolutely amazing!  And I want to go again!  Maybe for my birthday next year.  I want to see Holly Madison's 'Peep Show'.  They showed some of it on The Girls Next Door the other episode, and it looks fantastic!  Seeing as my twenty first birthday totally was not awesome.  All of my friends were under-age/too old to be out late, and we just chilled in Tahoe.  On a Sunday.

So, I was thinking of Vegas-ing it up next year.  Possibly, I don't know.  My two main friends still wont be twenty one until the Fall, so it seems almost pointless yet again?  Minus the fact that I adore Las Vegas.  I do like the idea of going to a show I picked out, drinking with my besties Candice and Curtis, and looking hot!  Also, I do so love Holly.  It was sad when she left Hugh Hefner.  And for what?  A crazy magician who she later dumped as well...

Got off track there.

Anyways, Las Vegas was good fun.  The tattoo expo was alright, I was glad it was free that's for sure.  I need to finish up my article on it and post it.  That would be useful.  I think I'll sign off of Blogger for tonight and go work on that right away.

I have a lot of good feelings for the future right now...
Love and peace
