Other Peoples Stories

I use to love writing stories when I was younger. Though I had a problem with the whole finishing part.
This is something I've been thinking about revisiting this form of creativity. It can be an outlet and it may also give me some inspiration to illustrate and add to my portfolio.
The stories were either fancy lives for I could insert myself into or now and then lives I imagine strangers had.
Now and then when I take a moment and look at the people around me I always wonder what brought them to this location at this specific moment. Not only that they where heading to a get a cup of coffee but what turns in their life brought them to same place I am. These things cross my mind when I'm alone in a crowd and when I'm driving somewhere.
Just a thought...

I'm now kind of sort of a quilter!

I joined the local quilting guild! YAY! So I have been look at lots of quilting books! I found one called Whip it Mini Quilts. If any1 knows me they know that I can't follow instructions I have to alter it some how... I think I am going to use there two mini...
Sort of. You will see later!

The grand canyon is looking good again!

I'm starting to think that my current work environment is rubbing off on me! It is starting to seem more possible to live on the moon then move to Baltimore... I have the economy against me, my low self esteem, my inability to find a ... "Nitch" that my work fits in or in a market for my work...
So...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
In short. I would really like to just move out there but even if I do get an interview I can't afford to fly/drive out there for any interview. I'm living pay check to pay check...

My hope/plan with Miller's was to work seasonally with them and if I was good enough I'd stay and work my way up.

Or I would work til X mas go on unemployment (maybe) and see if I could stay with my Uncle Bill in Denver, CO and search out opportunities there

(note to self write my Uncle)...

But yet I am still in Pittsburg...

With Mental Health...

Luckily I have Dustin!

Who is one good thing I have here.
