Well, and things were going so well too. The All Stop is called because my tower has died... again... this time I think it's the new hard-drive being intermittent and messing up the boot. I need to take it to a friend to fix it, but I've not had time on that. So for now I've been doing my crappy little sketches, and a LOT of sewing. I'll have pictures up at some point, but right now anything and everything involving a computer is severely delayed. Which means I may not have a new summer ID this year (pity I had a great idea.) I'm not trying to do anything with this laptop (the monitor is broken so everything has to go through the projector, and though it is nice to have a wall as my canvas, this poor little thing would crash instantly under CS3 and doesn't really have the resolution of a wall.

All Start! A new business! J&J Costuming is up and running, I make SCA armor, Fur suits, costumes, clothing, and accessories upon request. My prices depend on the order. For the Local Canton and the SWVA Furs, they get a local discount: The price of fabric/supplies plus a tip (which is gauged by their satisfaction). I work for dirt cheap for my local folks because well, they are my marketing department. For everyone else, it's the price of fabric/supplies + (minimum wage x hours worked on it) add shipping as well if it is required. Don't worry, my sewing projects do not take terribly long to sew, it is one of the few of my projects that I can actually measure in just hours! (most drawing projects or graphic design projects can be measured in days to even years!)

So there is a lot going on, and I am very busy making people look great, making medicine for the sick, and gearing up to go back to school full time for my teaching license. I'm considering trading in my truck for a significantly more fuel efficient car (its 65 bucks to fill him every week) I'll miss Junge, and I love him dearly, but I'm I'm looking at my financial forecast over the upcoming years, I'm not going to be able to afford to drive him and get everything done, get married, build a house, and start of family ever.

Lots going on in the little world of Jenn, and as usual I am a bit anxious about it, (When did I become such a nervous and doubtful person... oy) I will try to keep things updated here as stuff progresses but I'm typically crap at that if it's not my facebook. Speaking of which here that is as well: [link] More ammo for stalking me I guess. I'll have a J7J facebook page up as soon as I have a logo for it (as soon as my computer is repaired)

Best wishes to you all and enjoy the beautiful spring weather!
