Good morning. hope everybody's relaxed and happy.

Well...it's been a terrible year emotionally. I'm lucky I have a boyfriend who takes care of me and is so...Real...that I don't feel totally lost/outta control. He provides a lot of lost perspective on myself. What matters and what doesn't. He has been through a lot himself...so he knows what is worth spending emotional time on. A good thing to know for an over-emotional gal like me...

With that said, I guess I should make this my formal announcement that I am expecting my first child December 3rd ! Very crazy, wonderful, scary, uncertain, lovely all at the same time.

I say this all the time but i really need to get some art out, and plan on getting really involved in this community again. Main reason is lack of scanners, no photoshop/illustrator type programs on my netbook. I have been away from my home with my big PC with all my art tools on it, and have been stuck with my new netbook latop. EVEN if i have to make some pixel art with MS PAINT I WILL CREATE! My gallery should be seeing some updates soon....before I have NO TIME.

Oh yeah and if anybody would like to help out with my being a "young parent with a new baby" fund, there's a donate section on the bottom left of my deviant art page. Besides my boyfriend, I need to get some kind of hustle going on! Doubt I'll get any donations but I've been brewing a lot of ideas in my little brain. And I feel more Creative than ever!
