Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"

You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)

Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic

What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays

Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get

wonderful greece

it's not everyday we (or i) get to experience such kindness

jessica of jewels by jessica from greece is awesome

she sent me an email to let me know that forestprints.com was featured in the greek printed version of lucky magazine, and went out of her way to not only give me a tearsheet from her own copy of the magazine, but also helped me to purchase another new copy! of course i paid for it and the postage

yay!

i must survive...

...the 15 days of chinese new year

i'm in no mood to even whine about it... it's just bleeuurrgghhh... and my appetite has been like that of a pregnant woman...

if you haven't noticed, i've been busy updating both littleoddforest and crafthings

membership discount cards are waaaayyy overdue, i know... i promise they'll be appearing in your mailboxes soon! when? soon...

been trying to get these things done

• new tank top designs
• new tee designs
• new huggables
• new felt brooches
• new big bags
• new small bags
• new purses
• new cushion covers
• new home decor items
• new catalog
• good sewers (anyone out there?)
• print peripherals

have been

• running every evening
• swimming once a week
• dreaming about me flying around in my little odd forest which transforms into an outdoor boutique (seriously, work hazard...)
• drinking too much (might also explain the above...)

have not been

• sleeping enough
• doing nothing enough
• having fun enough
• as frank as i would like to

i've been crazily shopping and buying supplies online the past week. there's nothing cool to get here in singapore. is this a good enough reason to relocate???

An Airline Disaster: Independence Air

It’s been a month since Independence Air ceased operations on January 5. I was initially impressed with the fact that they gave advance warning that were shutting down, avoiding the debacle exemplified by Eastern Airlines when they folded without warning in 1991.

I’m not sure what to think about Independence Air now that there has been a month of post mortem. I feel especially bad for the employees, many of whom worked for Independence Air in its previous incarnation as a financially strong United Connection carrier. Published reports state that Independence Air began with a war chest of over $800 million – where did that go in eighteen months?
