*runs in circles*
I have grown a deep and frightening love for Excel spreadsheets. I'm mapping out costs and income; I'm charting expenses; I'm organizing and labeling and pricing all my stock. Then I'm starting the scary part: mass-producing. Why have one pair of earrings when I can have five? Why have (and sell out of) three anklets when I can have ten? And why oh why do I keep running out of materials?
Actually, nix that last question. :P
I had the terrible urge to break out the old TI-82 and program pricing things into it, but now I don't have to. Instead I'll keep trolling firemountaingems.com. I have the terrible feeling I'm gonna spend around $200 there this time, and the greater (for better or worse) feeling that I'm gonna need everything I pick up. Especially if Otakon comes through, as Otakon's forums say we (aka the trollish con crew) should hear back about the artists' alley tables by the 27th. If we don't, I'm in @ the South Side Works Artists Exposed festival the weekend before. Either way, we're definitely going to be at AnimeNext from June 12-14.
I looked at my planned stock vs. my workweeks and decided I need an icon of a little flailing something running in circles. :P

A pair of purple finches are building a nest directly outside of my front door. I didn't know it was still nesting season for anything, but I'm sitting here with a camera anyway, waiting to get a picture of them. It's sort of relaxing.

And for my non-PC moment . . . I got my little Aveo5. After my immediate, knee-jerk naming (Bob--everything is Bob) I decided I should call it something more appropriate. It's small and blue and boxy, and it's bigger on the inside, and--I had it! I'd call it . . .
Nah. Too twee to call it a Tardis. Especially since it only travels in space & time in a most perfunctory manner.
I can't call it Tard; no matter the reason behind the name, it'd be a little rude and probably get me in trouble.But I still kinda want to. Then ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
zen_of_nihilism says I can't call it my Tar-baby, so Tar-car it is. So I'm happy to welcome my little blue Tar to my . . . erm . . . debt. So far it seems to be getting about 40 miles to a gallon, and Onstar (with its directions & destination GPS feature) seems like it'll come in handy once I start traveling to new and interesting places. Which'll be next weekend.
Now to keep it far from the icky people who like to bounce their car doors off my door. :P
