Do arranged marriages really work?

What I'm still working on is to, once again after 25 years, be a FULL-TIME musician. Which once I reach a point where I can retire (yes, I said "retire") from my current job at a decent pension rate, then focus solely on making music. This "dual life" of having a stressful day job and still trying to keep both feet in the music biz is wreaking havoc on me. The ol' "I'm too old for this ****" is in full swing. Since I have no intention of giving up music, this damn desk job has its days numbered, but unfortunately the "number" is still pretty high.

Of course, all bets are off if I hit the lottery. Look out recording studios and concert tour venues!! My goal is to have an album that out-sells Time and gets twice the airplay.

Hey if you go out on tour, can I be a member of your posse?

I don't think wanting to be comfortable financially & debt-free is materialistic.

I know, I thought to myself "well that shouldn't be too difficult."

Now I am about to become the Stay At Home Mom to TWO sons Being a mom is a bigger job than I had ever imagined, but with tons of good parts.

However, when my sons reach the time they don't need me so much any more I want to pursue my dream of having a travelling marionette theater, and visit schools and hospitals and community organizations and perform puppet plays.

I've always made puppets for my hobby and really, REALLY want to take it somewhere, a new level, one day. I think I am done with being a counselor. 15 years was enough.

* Your work sounds very rewarding.
* When is that kid coming anyway?
* I wanna see the puppets too.

Seriously? Flirted with someone 17 years ago in a Portland picture frame store. And no, I never did sleep with him.

A lot of loading trucks, driving trucks, phone calls, and 16 hour days later, voila, here I am.

Long story, really. I'll tell ya the rest next time I see ya.

ANY day now on the kid! Whew I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy, I feel like a beached whale! If nothing happens on its own between now and friday, he will be taken out on friday regardless whether he wants to yet or not!
And yes my work WAS very rewarding. When I was doing it, there were 60 hour weeks and I never tired one minute, just loving it.

Anyway have been digging for old pics the best I could, I know there are tons more somewhere, will keep looking though, slowly

I misread your first post & thought it said you'd had the baby - I was like, "what'd I miss?"

Your marionettes are beautiful.
