making a living [23 Jul 2002|05:35pm]
why i charge $199 for my hats:
$199 - $50 for material
= $149 profit
the government will take
40% for taxes leaving
$89.40 left for me.
the hat took me 8 hours to make so i get paid about $10 an hour to make the hat
that is how i came up with the price.....
but actually i need $120
a day to live i have figured.
if i want to make my living making hats, and if i work 8 hours a day on hats
and give myself $25 an hour i can make it work. of hat $25 an hour the government
will take 40% which leaves me with $15 an hour.
15x8= $120
so really i need to charge more for my hats. unbelievable really. oh wait...and i haven't figured in the percentage that ebay takes when i sell and then the percentage that paypal takes when someone gives me money that way! plus the insertion fee for ebay. i have to figure that in. glarb.
anyone know on the top
of their head what ebay takes and what paypal takes?

anna-gram [23 Jul 2002|10:25pm]
first she wants an "annacam" and now...
from E!online:
"Anna Nicole Wants You...
...to get her free Anna-Gram!"
i just discovered it
and what it does.
what i did with it is i made it so that ANYONE can reply in my journal ( not
just registered users ) and then i made it so that the anonymous replies are
screened by default. which means only i will be able to read them.
SO...if anyone has anything to say to me personally that you do not want anyone
else to read...you may do so by posting anonymously (of course it will HELP
if in the reply you tell me who you are! )
and now people who don't have livejournals of their own can also reply!
i haven't gone to bed
yet...so i am going to do that now :) my schedule is SO whacked.

i got some really delicious slippery soft fuschia eyelash yarn today. it cannot
really be described. it's very feathery and slippery and the colour jumps
right out at you!
and i got some cream coloured mohair :)
it's raining and thundering and lightning out.
i'm getting ready for
bed. my mind is whirling with ideas.
[25 Jul 2002|01:41pm]
i will have to look into the prices of things more. maybe my car is not worth
5,000. i thought it was but...
gah. blarg.
i am depressed today. overwhelmed. everyone is having financial difficulty.
this is a hard time for everyone.
[26 Jul 2002|05:27pm]
i'm still really overwhelmed by everything and this is causing me to be really
depressed. i can't get anything done. it's hard for me to even move.
jason is going to take me out to sushi. maybe that will help my mood.
i'm at least going to take out the garbage now. i have to do at least that.
[27 Jul 2002|05:45pm]
i'm feeling a bit better today. jason is helping me with things. i cleaned
the house more. tonight we are going to see minority report and i'm very excited
to see that. i think i'm going to take all the yarn i bought and crochet the
weirdest blanket in the world. their is a free form "scrumbling"
crochet convention happening in australia in august of 2003. i am going to
do everything in my power to go to it. i must start saving NOW. i have a year
to get it all together to go. i am so excited about it, i'll bet it's all
i will think about for the next year. i am so happy i am able to be excited
about things because that means i am not as depressed as i think i am. i also
really really want a subsription to nest magazine. it's things like this that
keep me going. it's things like this that keep me alive and full of hope and
dreams

today i am on the sally
jesse raphael show [29 Jul 2002|02:40pm]
it's going to be embarrassing. i thought i was on a show about online diaries.
i was totally set up. but i was dumb enough to be on this show in the first
place so, c'est la vie.

sallyjr....the scoop [29 Jul 2002|04:24pm]
ok, this is what was SUPPOSED to happen...
sallyjr co. called me
up and wanted me on their show. they said i would be the ONLY one on the show
and it would be ablout people that were against me having a cam and online
diary. my x boyfriend, cris, said he would be on the show with me as the person
who would disagree ( even though he doesn't disagree ).
we decided that what we would do is talk about my online diary and how i write
about my physical and emotional abuse i experienced from cris when we were
going out 15 years ago. cris would talk about how he feels uncomfortable that
i was putting all of our relationship that we had into an online diary for
all to see. i would say that i was doing it because i felt that abusers should
be held accountable for their actions and that women should feel they have
the right to speak of their abuse and not hide it or be ashamed of it and
hold it all inside as a secret. i would talk about how online diaries are
wonderful things for people to write and to read so that people felt less
alone in abusive situations and greater dialogue could be had about this issue
and other issues that needed to be discussed.
in the end...cris would see my side of things and agree with me and both of us would reconcile and have a happy ending.
the sally show also said
that they would put my name and url on the screen when i was speaking. they
didn't. all they put up was "ana".
i asked if there would be any talk show "psychologists" on...because
i did not want any on. and they said that was fine and they would not do that.
but they did.
AND they said they would reimburse cris for the 2 days of work he would miss to be on the show. AND THEY NEVER PAID HIM EVEN THOUGH HE LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES WITH THEM FOR MANY MONTHS!!!!
that was what was supposed to happen. but instead i walk out and i am on a show with a bunch of strippers and the topic of the show was "i'm a stripper, deal with it"
i WAS a stripper for a short time 15 years ago. but jeez.
anyway...
live and learn. as you know, not every single one of sally's shows are COMPLETELY
evil and i thought i was on one where i could spread the message out that
people should not have to live with their emotional and physical abuse being
a secret. that one could empower onesself through online diaries.
c'est la vie.
i'm just glad her show was cancelled. she is a completely hollow evil exoskeleton.
i couldn't write about this at the time because i was totally drained from the experience.
but now, i'm fine. seeing it now, finally,...i think i really held my own pretty damn well and i'm happy with the way i carried myself.
i spoke to cris on the
phone and he said i kicked ass :)
tomorrow he and i are going to get together for coffee and have a good laugh!
:)
i can't believe i can
actually say i was on the sally jesse show! what a trip.

mobile homes [29 Jul 2002|05:02pm]
since i have been on the sally jr show...
i can now move into a mobile home and go back to eating hotdish. mmm :)
( i come from a poor background where this was the case, so i say this with
great affection! )
now i really am compltely
serious whe i say i am looking into buying a mobile home :)
and i have searched and searched online for any indication on how much these
cost..but all i can find is those type of mobile homes that look like houses.
i want a single wide
one...one that you can connect to a car and move if need be.
i don't want it to look like a house. and i don't want the kind that IS a
truck.
i just can't find any info on these anywhere on the net! there is so much
about people selling one used, or where to find communities...or where to
rent land...or where to buy ones that look like ranch style homes...but no
info on the kind i want.
can you help me?
then i need to get some
leopard sheets, so glow in the dark religious icons, and a lava lamp and a
"god bless this mobile home" sign :)
weee haa!

more bookmarks to put up here! this is the first bunch of them.
but now i have been awake all night again..and the sun is coming up...so i
