Printers and Happiness

There's just something about Christmas that is so totally awesome and that still gets me excited like I'm 5 years old all over again!  (Though that was the year I discovered Santa was not real. LOL!)  There has been sun and snow and actual cold this week and it's been a super happy week!  For no reason in particular, but I do suspect because I stopped taking some meds.  The timing is right and I've been bouncing all week, yay!!

In other news I have a photo printer!  A sort of early Christmas present from my mom!  Though I've discovered the thing does not come with a USB cable.... what kind of computer thing does not come with it included?  I know it's wifi compatible and all that, which would not be a problem... if I had internet!  Ah well, I'll figure something out.

But it DOES mean I can finally actually set up that painting business I've been speculating since the beginning of summer!  I want to get a business license and all that jazz set up before I officially announce it....  But here's the website anyways.... Painted Portraits (
The name might change since I still have to check if it's available, but hopefully it'll stay cause I like it!)

I've discovered figuring out pricing is really complicated...  So things will probably change, hopefully not, but I guess that's all part of it right?

It's hard to believe Christmas is exactly a week from today!!!  I still have to get some presents done, eek!  I had a minor growling fit at one painting, because it was not co-operating...  But paintings usually don't co-operate when I'm stressed...  Haha!

Last night at supper I was asking everyone what they wanted for Christmas... And various people reminded me of what I had already gotten/am a part of...  My brain apparently decided to take a vacation and did not feel the need to notify me of its absence!

The pony is thankfully sound (again)!  And thanks to my awesome coach we have a game plan that will hopefully work!  But at least in the meantime I get to take lessons on a really awesome horse!  Just don't tell Belle... she'll get jealous.  But at least her hate list is at the same number since the other horse I was riding is no longer at the stable.  My pony knows how to make me feel loved!
