Happy Birthday to the lovely ladies: kari77, qafmaniac, and suze_y. I hope your year is as sparkly and fun as you are!

I love BJ! Any time, any place: Photobucket

I signed up to make graphics for the FALL CONTEST, which is the first time I've ever signed up for anything. It's been great because I've been playing with PS for the first time in ages. But I am also a little worried that I will try too hard to be "complex" and might not finish instead of something simpler and finishable. (I did make a couple of quickie icons, so I have something to submit, but they aren't what I've been excited to work on though.)

I've been reading post 513-fic this last week or two while trying to get over a really bad cold. (Yay for fanfic saving me from bad daytime tv.) I've never left someone I've loved to pursue my life and dreams, like Justin did. I feel sort of... like maybe I should have, heh. Like maybe it is a part of growing up or something. I fell in love and got married, and though I had graduated from college, I had no notion or desire to have a career anymore. I apparently chose well and lucked out as my marriage has been great. But at the same time I sort of feel like I haven't suffered enough, risked enough, faced fears enough for my lot in life. (Which is totally stupid, I know.) Have any of you left someone to pursue education or career goals?

xo Thanks for the birthday wishes. And good for you for signing up for the Fall Contest! I'm sure your submissions will be great. I'm not ready to submit "real" graphics yet (I'd be a whole lot readier if I were to actually spend some time playing and learning every week!) but I'l try to do something "unreal" - I understand Blingees are an option LOL.

No, I haven't ever left someone to pursue other goals. But, I did take a job that had me traveling a LOT, way more than my husband wanted. I stuck with it for a couple of years, and then left when he asked me to come home. I could see the effect it was having on him, he worried and was very lonely, and it wasn't worth it to me to put him thru that anymore.

I was glad I did it, but also glad when I came home. :)
