12/10/05 Rain on my Parade

Yesterday I was told by my mother "you're the one fucking her up" in reference to Brianna. Well she should talk right? I mean I wouldn't need therapy or blogspace or whatever had she just given me the therapy that I ASKED FOR in the first place. So much drama in my life would not have existed. She is mad because I don't like Christmas and told her so and told her that I make it known every year that I don't like the whole month of December and yet they keep trying to make me celebrate it. She says "yea I know, and every year you bring us down". Well......California is looking mighty good right now ya know? Yea

Today was a cold day. It started out gray at about 0930 when we got to the high school for dress rehearsal. Then all day I was at the theater/cafeteria waiting for Brianna to perform at 4 shows. I got to see the first show and it was great! It was called "The Snowman" and based on the book. It was really well done. All the kids were so cute. The costumes were beautiful! It was a super performance.
I survived about 75 screaming ballerinas and other dancers.
All day I knit on the wrap that Debra has commissioned me to make for her. I am on the 7th and 8th skein of red fun fur. It looks like this may be the end of it. I am not sure what to charge for it. Typically I charge $20 for 2 skeins used. This project will use at least 8 skeins for a total of $80. It costs $32 in materials and the time I just guess at because it is like meditating for me and very relaxing. I think that I will charge either $100 or $120. Depends on if I have to add 2 more skeins to make it even longer too. Hmmmm. What do you think? $120 sounds really good for time and effort and is quite a tidy profit!
Off to pop corn, and get a drink, and watch a movie with Brianna. Tomorrow is a crafty day. More to follow then....
