blogging guilt....

i hate it when i get behind in my blogging and then... Well, i get overwhelmed. Do i go back and blog all the stuff i missed writing about? Just pick up from where i am now? Then i procrastinate and don't blog at all, a vicious cycle!

Between my last entry and now i served as the Judge's girl for Mr & Ms NJ Leather. That was fun. i got to spend some time with a few of the Judges that i already knew, which was great and also met some new people who were awesome! All the contestants made a great showing and the Winners were Chuck for Mr NJ Leather and boy robi for Ms NJ Leather. i am really proud of both of them. Chuck's had a heck of a year and i am just so proud of him stepping up and entering the contest. boy robi kick butt also and looks damn good in formal wear! :-) i'm sure they'll represent NJ well and do a lot of good work this year.

i set up an ancestor altar this year at Samhain to celebrate the lives of my dearly departed. Samhain wasn't as festive (it is my new year, after all!) as it usually has been for me in the past but instead was more introspective and quiet.

i've spent an unusual amount of time on the road for my clients, things are looking good business wise and i may end up having to travel out of state a few times a month. i'm looking forward to more money because of that but i'd really rather be here in NJ serving at home! Seriously, i try to live simply, more money just adds up to more gadgets and somehow the money, no matter how much there is, finds a way to get spent. i'd rather have more time than have more money.

Master and i presented for DSF on Friday, that went pretty well. Lots of people had questions afterwards. i am starting not to judge the response to the presentation until it's done and we're wandering around... then i count how many people come up to ask questions that they didn't want to air in front of the crowd. Which is fine by me, i know that sometimes i have stuff that's either too personal or perhaps doesn't fit the "theme" of the presentation exactly and i'd rather ask later. Or ask via email It's all fine to me!

In keeping with my big "search and destroy" anti-clutter mission in the studio, Master and i have embarked on either starting or finishing a ton of Household projects that needed doing but have been neglected for quite some time. We installed closet organizers in His bedroom, whihc resulted in a major purge of old crap. There's now plenty of room to actually walk in to the walk in closet AND all Master's leathers are hung in one place.

We finally figured out how to display the fabulous pillows we were given at the M/s conference. With the unruly canines in the house, they couldn't be displayed on the couch or on Master's bed, so i sewed some chain on to the corners and we hung them from the ceiling. Yup, pillow bondage! i love the way they look like that. They make me smile.

That's my update for now, signing off before this becomes tooooo long.
