I need a time out... but at least I'm not running for President

Here's something I want to pass on, that I wrote on another blog site:
Life right now, at work, is extremely crazy, stressful, and political... and then I watched last night's Presidential debate 9/26 on youtube: click here after having watched 20 some political clips (just on the first 5 pages) bashing the McCain/Palin campaign with suspending their campaign, canceling on David Letterman, and the damning Katie Couric interviews (do some searches for all of them and include Craig Ferguson and Keith Olbermann). All That added with All That happening with the economy. Wow... really makes you look at the significance of this next election.
I'm really in need of some laughs, and I'm thinking that the VP debate coming up might just do that... any one know of any screening parties happening in Portland... anyone I know planning to watch it at home? We don't have TV so what we get is off of youtube, which is fine... but I'm thinking that there's got to be some good parties gathering to watch (or to do this: click here ).

That being said... I need to take a time out from Altered Statement... finish up a few current orders, focus on getting some fabrics dyed, and really focus at work. It's hard to admit that I just can't keep it up...

I'll do what I can, some projects to have an outlet, but after I get these last few things wrapped up I'm taking a break... burrowing in for the fall to see what emerges in the spring. I'm in need of a long rest.

Thanks for everyone's support. I am grateful for the connections I have, and remorseful that I do not always verbalize how much I value that.
