too busy + birthdays

God, I am SO BUSY! *flails* I've got to finish chapter 4 of Street Angel before 4:00, but there's a painting floating around in my head that I want to start on, and then of course there's that dress I need to be working on, and the Hiasashii plushie, and the TamaHaru Halloween challenge and Smile of a Queen and Goodnight Butterfly and Deathwish and Solid Blue and Boku no Heart.... ahhh! *explodes*

Anyway, I'm still waiting for the Institute of Children's Literature to evaluate my packet and tell me if I'm good enough to consider for writing for them. Yeesh, it's such a weird feeling, knowing that at this very moment my work is being scrutinized and picked apart and judged like some kind of beef dinner. It's a little scary! But It's okay. I won't be intimidated.

BUT on Friday is Kiona's birthday! And then mine is on Sunday! This weekend is going to be so much fun! XD Brittany and I got Kio-nana a book on mythology and made her cards (OMG we're so craft inclined), which actually turned out pretty cute. I have no idea what I'm doing for my own birthday, but for Kio-nana's we're going out to dinner. It's going to be fun. This will be two "so busy I can't sit down" weekends in a row. But I like it. It's fun.
