And then you got one where you got paid twice what you had been

Then Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes- I couldn't believe it... wanders off into an Airplane skit

LOL Sorry, I looked away to catch up on SW.

So YES to all of that, but THEN....the cheap client accepted the new pricing I stated. TWICE what I was getting before (and they accepted it so readily that I'm kicking myself for not pushing my prices sooner).

So I've got some big gigs coming up. I don't really WANT big gigs...but the money is better than it was, and much more worth the work.

Congratulations!

Yup! Thank you.

SO AWSOME!!!

I've got a shorter book on Hawaiian spirituality coming up, and then a LONG book of a woman's memoirs about losing her sight and regaining it (possibly tedious, but at least it's well written!).

If there's Pennsic this year, I am READY FOR THE MARKETPLACE.

Okay, I know someone who might like the hawaiian spirituality thing. Mmm

And you earn that Pennsic moolah

I'll let you know when that one's done. The publisher is Inner Traditions.

Thank you

Actually, I'm kind of hoping I might make enough this year to get somebody else to finish making over the spare room into a studio. I kind of got stuck half-way through trying to remove wallpaper. Bleh.

Bleh. Mmm

ACK! I used the last onion, and forgot to put onions on the shopping list, and now there's a ONION CRISIS!!!!!!!

Gotta run out and get onions. Back in a while.

Onion Crisis sounds like a DeBuke plotline

BRB!!!!!!!

(Yes it does, D)

...

I took my lunch out of the fridge and put it in my lunch box to take home

Onion Crisis: Decisions at DeBuke Farm

I left my lunchbox at work

Oops

I do nnot think so either

(Coworker bought me chicken nuggets! Was kind treat!)

I am learning more about Ft. Davis. the nearest towns are not in the same County IF you go by Texas Counties. Jeff Davis County is an oddly shaped thing, and on the OTHER side of the mountains but still in the county is the town of Valentine.

exactly nuggets > sammich

Marfa seems decent sized and close-ish

Yes, but in another Texas County.. perhaps it is in the Changelingn County though 🙂

Ok.Valentine MIGHT have a freehold 🙂

Valentine is the only incorporated city in Jeff Davis County, Texas. It is located on U.S. Hwy 90. According to the 2000 census Valentine has a population of 187 people.
Today Valentine is known mainly for its post office which receives an abundance of cards every year to be stamped and sent to Valentines all over the country. Valentine is also known for a little movie called “Dancer Texas, population 81” which was filmed there and the surrounding area in 1997. A building façade “Oasis Gas Station” remained on the deserted roadside until early 2005.
In 2005 a new building appeared west of Valentine on highway 90, Prada Marfa was erected as a work of art. Within its walls are shoes and other items from the fall 2005 Prada collection. In time the earth friendly building will decay and the display will become a ruin, but for now security alarms buzz at attempts to tamper with the “art”. Valentine recently constructed a memorial to the veterans which sits peacefully on the highway through town.
Some say Valentine was named for Valentine’s Day when a railroad crew of the Southern Pacific Railroad laying tracks heading east from Van Horn stopped there on February 14th, 1882. Others believe Valentine was founded on December 23rd or 24th, of 1881 and named for John Valentine, President of Wells Fargo and a major stockholder in Southern Pacific.
Valentine became a significant shipping point for the railroad because of it’s location between El Paso and Sanderson (Texas). Its location allowed railroad crews to lie over for a few days. In 1900 Valentine had two saloons, a butcher shop and a general store. Area ranchers shipped cattle out of Valentine but by the 1950s with the increase of trucks being used to haul cattle, Valentine’s railroad depot was closed down. At that point Valentine was no longer a thriving railroad community and the majority of the businesses closed down.
At 5:40am on August 16, 1931 the largest earthquake known to have occurred in Texas took place near Valentine. All the buildings were damaged and even the tombstones in the local cemetery were rotated.

Prada shoes, Valentine cards... Good lord

I feel like Changeling Counties are bigger than mortal ones.

esp. since baronies can have more than one freehold

I think you're right

Oh.. hey, found the site for the local realtor in Fort Davis

Grete (confused look) "Why don't you just buy all of them, and then pick the one you like best?"
