Stayed up under the guise of putting the boys' laundry in the dryer....only to realize that I was restless and couldn't sleep.
So, I'm doing homework again. I don't know why I'm going so crazy with it, I've only got 3 classes this quarter, so I should be kicking back and enjoying...instead I can't sleep because I keep thinking I'm forgetting something. Oh yes. The bills are what I'm forgetting.
It's hard to pay bills with little money though.
Soon though, I'll be finished with school and be able to get a job, regardless of if it's in the industry or not. I'm dedicated, so hopefully I can get in somewhere.
A new girl popped in on the NekoPan forums-- I remembered her from the Con. She stopped by the last day and bought 30 cupcakes. She was really sweet and wrote me an e'mail telling me how much she liked them. It made me warm and fuzzy inside. ^__^
I don't know what I'm going to do with that this year-- I don't want to commit to coming again, because Lord knows where I'll be at that point. However. I adore the booth that
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
krktheartist made, and have been talking new flavours with my lovely vallohavok. I think that if we went back this next year that it would be phenomenal, and we would do a lot better, having learned what we did last year. Boy, did we learn things!I've already committed to doing that wedding cake this summer, alongside Teepa, and it's going to be awesome...Other than that, who knows. I guess I'm open to it. Either way, she got me thinking.
I made the gorgeous
wailaki_amazon a pretty cool little bag for Christmas (if I do say so myself) and thought that it would be fun to make one for Kirky and Tee, for sure. I didn't decorate Dees, because I want her to be able to do it herself, but I've been meaning to make prezzies for the two of them for ages....and perhaps this will be what I will do. I love the little comics that Kirky did for a while, so I think I'm going to print those out on the iron-on papers, and do some sort of applique with ribbon and vinyl. We'll see. Just something that came to me while I wasn't sleeping. O_o
EDIT:: Here's a mockup.
Peace, mah bitches.

I have this cute cute cute one of Teepa, and a cute one of me, but I don't have a cute one of you that is framed like this. :) So, I was calling to ask you if you would be willing to draw me a Kura from the hips up! I just thought it would be easier to explain what I was after by putting the mockup up (or I was gonna aim you yesterday if you were around).
I think they'll be really cute-- the bags are so fun to make.
Hope to talk to you soon!!!!
Aww, I miss the cute little Nekopan comic! Those drawings were sooo cute XD
I've been curious what the tentative plans were for next year, but I didn't want to bring it up until everyone had successfully unwound from this year... I enjoyed the pre-baking and such, but I'm not sure how helpful I was. It was definately fun, though. Not sure what I'll be doing come con-time this year, but you can at least count on me for moral support!
I don't know if we end up doing it, or if we'll do it with the entire group again-- It was lovely to have people around, but there were times when too many people were hard to manage, teehee! (and a lot of personalities that didn't mesh when it all came down to it.) I think I'll know for sure if we're going to come back after I graduate....I don't want to take time away from the job-search, but each time somebody comes on and tells me that they enjoyed us, I get all pumped to go at it again. If we do end up doing it, moral support is fantastic, or just somebody to give out lollies. :3 *IF* we do it, we're going to have a schedule. I learned my lesson last year. Some people'll be around for pre-baking, and will get their cut, but we're going to keep the booth 3 people max *if* we end up doing it. Ugh. Long rant.
I'm sending your money from it home with Robin tomorrow, so be sure to ask for it.
Love to you, Lucy~!
I support Nekopan trying for a second year, maybe focusing just on cupcakes this time, since pizzas and cookies didn't seem to sell so well...and I offer any support that is needed! Be it grunt work, emotional support, or just general helping hand.
I agree with the cupcake focus. If we end up doing it again, I feel that this is what we should do specifically, with only a few of the other things on the side....but only small quantities of them....
Thanks for being so awesome, Lucy~ You're really the best. :3
An no problems ^_^ Could we still be imvolved in preparation tea-parties, and the like? I really miss hanging out, testing out cupcakes, and sewing together...
Did you get your envelope from Robin? I gave her this speech, but I tell you too. :) Each envelope does contain less than was put in-- but that's just because we didn't break even....each person got the same percentage out of the end as the percentage they put in....Maybe not the most eloquent explanation....But whatever you're missing (from what you put in) everybody else is missing the same percentage. :) Thanks for your support the first year, and if we decide to do it again, thank you in advance for your support the second year!! Lucy = love.
Don't worry about the money thing, I had completely forgot I was going to get something back, anyway! Oh, and Robbie and I talked a bit, and we at least feel that, though we probably wont be involved with the on-sight baking or the running of the booth, we'd still happily be investors ^_^
