The Percolation of Stellar...stuff

Back to Basics

So after I got into jewelry making I kind of abandoned the blog! Now I had my hands full running StellarG Jewelry site and facebook. Life has changed and changed again, in the last year. First of all, we’ll be leaving Korea soon, and move to a new chapter in our life. Where? Well that’s another post. Did I mention I’m pregnant? Well that’s another post! Wanna see me make baby and gender announcement cards? well these new post just keep writing themselves! So with that I’ll leave you, lets not go crazy here. I need to ease into this again.

Teaching what you know

I’m getting ready for the class I will be giving tomorrow. Kinda excited to do it, also scared no one will show up! Also wondering if I’m doing the right thing…. I mean if I teach others to do pendant making… will I still have a good business? What if some students decides to actually start selling these too and then I have competition. I’m trying to think positive thoughts! And hope a moderate amount of students show up, and they have the respect that I showed my instructor by not stepping on her toes. Now to finish packaging the kits and work on the class outline/handouts. Wish me luck!

Our new house guest.

Anybody that know our little family know my husband is not a big fan of pets. Especially other peoples pets. I always thought he hated them, but come to think of it he has never been cruel or mean to an animal. This week a family is PCSing (moving away) they waited until the last moment to find their cat a home. This is an older Russian Blue cat, named Chuck. A friend of mine expressed interest in the cat but she is currently moving from off post apartment to on post housing. That left about a 5-6 day gap, and with the family leaving it seemed for sure this cat was going to the shelter. Koreans are not big on adopting pets and even less cats….even less than that an adult cat. My husband wasn’t home that night, and thinking “OMG he is going to KILL me!” I volunteer to watch the cat for the few days until my friend moved in to her new place.
Enter Chuck, a very very sweet cat. With a bit of a cuddle monster aspect to him. However I refused to call anybody even, even a cat, Chuck. So amongst fits of giggles with a friend, we ended up with Philiped Chuck Meowington.
My husband comes home not all too amused but understanding but the cat is nowhere to be found. He has been hiding since he got home. We go about our day and come back not knowing what to expect.
What I didn’t expect was a the cat stretched out on our bed, like he belong there. While I put lil Thomas to bed I hear my husband.
“ahhh!! Get it off me! It’s too friendly! It’s too friendly!”
I turn around to see the cat sitting on my husband chest looking straight in his eyes as if saying “hello there, you must be my new person. I like you, now pet me.”
He is very very insistent on being petted but doesn’t really meow, or messes with our things.
What I didn’t expect at all was how my husband would smile and pet him back or see the cat curled up next to my husband as his favorite person in the household.

Working his magic on my husband.

Thomas was so happy, I’m feel guilty that he will have to leave us soon. He talks to the cat, signs to the cat, comes home and first thing he does it look for the cat. He says, “He’s not a dog but I like him, he’s a good cat”. I’m writing this while my boys are on the couch, My husband writing for NaNoWriMo and my son watching TV with Philiped.

Keeping Thomas company

Gonna have to be careful with this one, or I’m gonna be sad to let him go too.

Let the mayhem and the madness begin!

It’s that time of the year again, November! When our lives get turned upside down in a wild fling of literary abandon and we crack out 50,000 words in 30days.
NaNoWriMo!
and because we always try to do the double doozy, NaNoBloMo! Posting everyday. I’ll be honest I think this year I’m going to crash and burn, not only am I doing NaNoWriMo and NaNoBloMo, I’m also trying to manage and promote the heck out of my StellarGravity jewelry line. At www.stellarGjewelry.com.
I wish everybody luck in their respective adventures and endeavors. Onward!

OMGWTFun!

Working hard to promote my ‘store’ which has basically my facebook page. For some reason its not really picking up my etsy page. I’ll just have to work on that too in a bit. Basically I spent 48 hours working to set up a website before we hit 1,000 fans. ALMOST made it, Got to 1,009 before the site went live. Its finally up and finally done, I’m now going to go back what I like doing. Making pretty and shiny things. Come take a look I’d love some feed back.

From Joe to Josephine? What did you do with BLUE?!

luskca — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:15:41 +0000

By the time blues clues rolled around I was already in my teens. That however did not stop me on crushing on that cutie Steve.

Cute? Yes I am!

(Ok so I didn’t picture him with that cut and shirt but, come on, I’d like to give the guy a sporting chance.)
We would watch blues clues all the time, when I would babysit my younger sisters. We’d find clues, sing along, and generally had an all around good time.
Sadly as time moved on so did Steve.

From Steve to Joe

Now enter Joe:
Creepy as fuck.

Creepy? Fuck yea I am!

Not only did he remind me of an alien but while Steve was silly when he waited for answers he seemed patient and thinking along with you. Joe just glares into your soul like he going to rip the answer out of you.
Now that I have a son, I went with what I already knew. Between ‘old’ or ‘new’ blues clues. I just to old. It all got complicated when blue the puppy (blue was a girl??) started talking and something something….I lost track somewhere in there. Out of curiosity I looked up what the actors looked like now.
Steve: balding and a bit older but still has that adorable smile and well I have soft spot for geeks.

However, Joe. Well that was a shocker!
From this:

Creepy? Fuck yea I am!

To this!

Nah! I’m joking. Couldn’t find a right shot of ‘before’ Joe but if you’ve seen the show you can see how Mina Stars look eerily like Joe in drag.

Actually Joe looks like this now:

Sure, NOW he looks all doe eyed instead of bat shit crazy. Guess living and learning will do that do you. How does you early teen crush or childhood stars measure up now?
