all i can say is that life is good. after 2 weeks of stress and tons of work the cloud has finally lifted and i can say that it has some sort of correlation with my 23rd year of life. there's nothing like a birthday to re-affirm the love and caring other people have for you, and it's like lots of warm fuzzies ( that's a mrs. hermandson 4th grade term). anyhow, i'm just checking in with those loyal followers of vj.com to let you know that work is going well and finally back to that non-overwhelmed happily creative phase (i made an adorable pink mini erika with flowers today) and everything is under control and i am finally happy to work again...so keep those duct tape orders coming. joy to the world, and thanks to those fantastic support systems and kind friends i have been in touch with lately, from la to philly to portland to boston to new haven to new york to pasadena!

life is good!
and the 6 rule is in for the night.
