it all evens out in the end

so we are totally nut-free in this house. there are a few ways i can go with that statement, but in good taste i will leave it alone.  the allergy is confirmed, but there is good news.  she *could* grow out of it.  we're not holding our breath. i miss dairy queen.

yesterday i got the contract paperwork for my first official LICENSING AGREEMENT!!!  my artwork will be on floor mats and rugs  in '09. worldwide.  i won't be paid til everything is in stores and sold, but still, it's a step in the right direction. and it won't bother me AT ALL if someone's stepping all over my art. my art is being presented to lots of large clients but i won't jinx myself by naming. not holding my breath here either.

i'm doing photoshoots like crazy.  i have to slow down. it's fun, exhausting, and exhausting.

SEVEN days until hawaii.  still looking for that housesitter....

this past week has been filled with lots of activity. 
monday - hubs was in a car accident. he was rear ended during rush hour on his way to work. long story short, our car is in the shop for up to FOUR weeks. because of all the storms and hail damage. he's okay.
on to tuesday - i had three photoshoots. this was way insane. but they're proofed already!
wednesday - spent proofing the wedding shots from last weekend. we got a rental car finally, because of all the body shops being busy, the rental places are also...  hubs did not make it into work.
thursday -  another shoot, and then afterward, monkey had another dr. appt. she got four lovely shots, and afterward we went to the pharmacy to get some stuff with camphor oil (?) in it for her bad bug bites. at the stoplight, she was crying... i reach back to give her a toy, and my foot slips off the brake. i *barely* bump into the car in front of me.  guess what it was. a VINTAGE JAGUAR. yes, this is my luck. the dude does not want to exchange insurance info, he is turning into a nightmare... maybe there will be a follow-up post on this incident.
friday - more photo proofing... photo ordering, basic shuffling of many things. helping out at the garage sale i have a ton of junk in.... i also went to the outlet mall (don't let that word fool you) and bought some new jeans because i have TWO pairs of pants that fit me right now.  i better not change sizes again.
