the many things I have been up to

I have been a busy bee. I set up an etsy shop and a blog for hippybeads. Hippybeads.com will be comeing down within the next couple of weeks, so update your bookmarks accordingly. I have not gotten many of my pieces moved over yet, so email me if there was one you liked and would like me to list on etsy.

I also set up an etsy and a blog for a new business I am opening for high quality jewelry. The respective blogs explain the direction that each one will be going in.

There's lot's more, but those are the 2 things I wanted to let you know for now.

Santa Letter '08

Santa,
I don't know how you did it, but you read my mind last year. I asked you for help walking my dog and getting my former students down for a nap, but what I really wanted was for mom to feel better, for my husband and I to have stable jobs and stable housing, and for my Dad to realize how important our silly shopping trip at the end of the year is. I got it all. Thank you.
Since you’re so good at fulfilling wishes, this year I expect that I will become a better chef than Emeril Lagasse, one day I will wake up and my house will be a gigantic castle filled with butterflies and purple glitter, My husband will write publish and article in JAMA on me being a medical miracle because I am so brilliant and creative, and in the morning, I will come downstairs and be greeted by a hippopotamus named ahboo with that tornado of fur we call a pet never to be found again.
Thanks in advance,
your favorite hippie princess,
Hillary


There was no reply this year due to this being printed out and since "santa" was staying here for Christmas and he came downstairs after I did.

Christmas with me.

Turkey? nope
Leftovers? nope
dirty house despite hours of cleaning? check
Sick husband? check
Consuming mass quantities of sweets despite constantly berating myself for being overweight? check
Holiday Meltdown involving cursing at family members? Check
Understanding family who doesn't threaten to take away my presents despite that I don't deserve a bit of them? *sigh* check.
