ART AND CHICKEN POX

Here is an ATC card that I worked on as part of a jam (three people take turns adding layers to a set of three cards and then each person who worked on them gets one of them at the end)....turns out that as the second person working on it, I should have left more of the original background intact. I ended up stomping all over the first person's feelings by covering up their image.

I'm pretty insensitive.

AND since this person likes a more cutesy style, she now apparently HATES the card.

While I am sort of feeling bad about this, I am ALSO sort of in an evil MUH HA HAAAA mode that they can't appreciate a more non-cutesy style....and I laid it on thick with my dark colors.

I think it must be some evil NT trait

( I'm an INTJ ...if you have no idea what I'm talking about, click on the title to this post and it will take you to http://www.typelogic.com/ )

that makes me feel superior to the cutesy people....cause more often then not, they are the SF's. It's recently been brought to my attention that I have a sub-conscious negative bias toward these personality types when it comes to things of a creative nature. And then of course there is the general superiority complex of the INTJ that kicks in. But honestly, I should feel WAY worse than I do.

I feel bad today about NOT feeling bad.
I'm the evil genius of the story today.
I'm sort of relating to that geeky villian that Alan Cumming plays in the James Bond - GoldenEye movie that is constantly clicking his pen (that later leads to his demise) and shouting,

I AM INVINCIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!
(along with some maniacal laughter, of course)

Hmmm....maybe it is just the heat getting to me.
It's a hundred million degrees today and I'm melting into a nasty pool of sweat....ick.
Also, my baby has chicken pox.
I really should have LED with that today. But I'm such a bad mother that instead of THAT keeping me up all night, I kept waking up having dreams about the lady whose card I trampled on who sent me a nice long letter explaining that I was mean to her and it is likely due to my ignorance and why don't I smarten up and stop wrecking her life.

Seriously.....THAT I couldn't get out of my head.....meanwhile my poor little girl is sleeping soundly in the air conditioned room next door. I wish there was more that I could do for her. She doesn't seem overly uncomfortable. She had the chicken pox vaccination so her case seems 'mild' but the fevers she has on and off are kind of scary when added to the heat we are suffering from this summer. I'm keeping her pumped full of fluids and giving her lots of cuddling....At the moment she is living it up and singing loudly in the kitchen along with a Matt Kearny song playing on my laptop.....totally oblivious that anything out of the ordinary is going on with her.

Life is so weird.

BTW, Below is an adorable picture my mom sent me of her and dad.
