Enjoying the Updates?
I just realized I’ve updated 6 times in the last 6 weeks, which is some kind of miracle for me. My hands are starting to pay for it, but I just put on new braces, so hopefully that will help because I want to keep going while I “feel” it, ya know?
I made a dulce de leche birthday cake for mys ick friend yesterday (He shares that birth date with my mom and Dangersque aka Danga) and I made the leche myself.
The cake is yellow sponge with buttercream icing and dulce de leche filling/topping. >.> Probably 10lbs to the gut per slice, but those are his favorite flavors and he loved it. 😀
In fandom news, I’m done hosting contests. The Valentine’s Day one was the last. I spend a lot of money on these things, and most of the time, it’s not worth it. This last contest had a bit of an ‘upset’ with first place going to a piece that wasn’t technically’ as good as second place (both art), but apparently, struck a bigger chord with the judges. Let’s just say that I had zero issue with how, who, and what was chosen as the 3 winners. I completely understood the choosing and stand by it as the hostess of the contest and the only one who ever pays for these things. (With special thanks going to my graphics team, who provides the wallpapers)
In fact, everyone involved in the contest got a prize that was actually purchased, which means I spent money on it, but only a few bothered to even say thank you or congratulate the other winners. UGH. NO HOME TRAINING. It’s enough now, so no more money is going into the IY fandom unless it’s to benefit myself or my special ones.
Moving on…
I’m writing again today and I’ll have some new art for you guys to chuckle at. It won’t be a header, though. I’ve been reluctant to change headers yet because I adore the current one so much (You guys know I love baseball, so “Baseball Yasha” is one of my all time faves). I added the full pic to my gallery if you want to take a peek. I’ve been neglecting o post new artises there, so I’ll be catching up on that soon.
And last, thanks to everyone who dropped me a line at Absolution. Knowing you enjoy the updates motivates me to bring you more, so let’s see what we can do before my hands force me to take a break!
