I was heading to bed, Heather, but I can stick around. What's going on?

And we either just had a little (or far away) earthquake or a really quiet truck went by. FTR, before anyone worries, really tiny. Laptop twitched on my lap, candles got a little extra fickery... So I'm up at least until I refresh the CalTech page several times.

Time passes. Douglas Adams collects a royalty payment.

Eh, refreshed it and no tiny red square. Between this and the traffic maps, I am ruled too much by colored blobs on a Web site.

Hello. I found this site due to traffic brought to my site by the below post. Jilli VoiceofReason, I am sorry that you feel this way in regards to my site offerings. What yould you suggest be put into a basket on my site given my target audience? Thanks for any feedback.

I'm still trying to decide if this

Now I've got it in my head that if I don't get the non-profit job (screw the other two, they're not really what I want). I'mma go up to the store and tell the GM that I'll take more hours, but I'm going to art school and I want to be trained on the take in side. That way I can get hands on experience with the big designers while I'm in school and make money. Perhaps I'll take on some of the merchandising in exchange. Then, when I actually start making things I'll wear them to the bar where the people with money can see them, want them, and I'll make stuff for them. Everyone will anticipate my graduation and subsequent boutique opening which will be like an open secret amongst the hipsters until it's featured in Lucky, and I get swamped. From there I will design for a house until I retire from the label, create another boutique label and move to my ideal city.

is a good thing, or if I should stick to the original plan, or what I really want.

ETA: It seems I always post with my directionless- or too many directions- issues at the wrong time.

What is it you really want?

eta: I'm going to bed, but my vote is always for the thing you really want, as long as it's been invented and you have even the most infinitesimal chance at it. I think it will help with the restless to try, at least. I'm glad Mr. H is supportive.

Goodnight!

At this point, I honestly have no idea. I keep thinking about it, as in imagining what I could do and how it would work, but I did that last time too, and now I'm onto something else. I just feel so. damn. flaky.

I think I meant to go to bed an hour ago.

Heather, I wish I had insight for you. Deena, however, I think is wise: Go for what you really want. As someone who is spending more time in transition than she feels proud of, I have to say that it really is ok to pursue a course then change your mind about it. That is definitely better than not even trying. Riiiiiiiiight, and don't I sound all sure of myself. Like I have a clue or something.

Suddenly I have a mental flash of Lorn's head on the platter, scaring the heck out of Cordy just by being alive.

Yeah, that's the one problem with following your bliss...figuring out what that bliss is.

At the risk of talking too much about baby poo, (whitefonted for those just not interested) the change to an all-formula diet appears to have made Mal constipated. Giving him plain water is helping a little, but he woke up crying in pain a lot last night, and there's a bit of blood today. The ped via phone says to mix a little fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a little olive oil into some water and give that to him.

As always, you guys are my sanity check and second opinion. Thoughts? Advice?

Raq, is he on solids? Are there some solids that are suggested for this? When the hell do you introduced strained prunes?
