I've decided to join the 21st century and put myself out there! I created an ETSY shop! barbieszenhouse. It took me a long time to figure it out and had to get my son in law, Jason, to help me with sizing pictures, but I DID IT! And to my surprise, I sold something the first week! My next mission will be to create a website.
A friend the other night asked me if I liked not working a "real" job. I had to admit, yes, I do. I've always liked being self-employed, being creative, and having my own hours, which are usually more than working a job! Most often, I make much less money, which has never been that important to me. I will have to deal with not having health insurance too. I may just get an accident policy or something. I was so hoping for a better plan from our govt. Then self employed people could get competitive health insurance. Perhaps some day.....
AS for my marriage, at the moment, we are doing OK. It is a constant struggle, like I said before, I do like being alone, and mens habits annoy me so much! I feel like after 10 years, we've really changed, and I must admit, that I was so lovestruck when we got married that I didn't really know quite a few things about him.....and his family....
Plus, there were things that I wanted to accomplish in my life, and some of them don't include dragging around a husband!
I feel lucky though, Rich is such a good guy.
I know many women feel as I do, and it is always up and down, changes, going with the flow, compromising.....
So, this is how I feel today!
Life is good!

Hey Barb, I'm with you! On a day to day basis I need to remember that I'm also with a really good guy. Why do we always want to be on our own as well? Can't we have it both ways? The whole work and money and creative need thing follows me around every minute of the day. Let's brainstorm and find a way to balance them all. Like you I love my random success with selling art and handmade treasures. So how do we turn it into something less random and more dependable? That alone would stir up the creative juices!!
