Real Life’s a Witch–Bye Bye Money and news
Waving Bye to our Money
Who knew public schools were so expensive? Add that to the regular bills, monthly emergencies (you know, that random crisis that strikes just when you have a little pocket money)…Holy smokes! Mr. Wonderful says he feels like money is shooting out his blow hole. I have no idea what that specifically means, but I get the idea. That was the inspiration for this entry in the Real Life’s a Witch journal comic series.
Here are a few items of interest:
- The big news is that my copies of SUGAR NINJAS (SWEET BOOK) arrived. This is quite a hefty book. 351 pages of comickry goodness, to be exact. You can see Life’s a Witch on page 214. (That’s easy to remember…Valentine’s Day!) Also included are samples from comickers I have mentioned to you before! Meghan Corbett of Filtered Fuzz has a sample in the book, as does Dawn Griffin of Zorphbert & Fred!
- The little news is that I’ve added more to the “ABOUT” page. If you scroll down a bit, you can see a link which reads “More about Samantha here.”
- The medium sized news is that I am saving my pennies to attend the Dallas Webcomic Expo in November! I want to get an artist table, banner and have comics sell and show. I am still looking into the costs of everything since I have to be so careful, but if I can’t get a table, I want to be SURE to go and say hello. If you can be there, I’d love to meet you. I’ll try to let you know what I’m wearing so we can greet each other.
That’s all from this side of the Crystal Ball. What’s in YOUR future?

Since I work in retail, I’ve noticed this too.
Certain schools are even having kids in 5th grade buy their own jump drives.
And they’re asking alot.
It’s I guess due to the recession?
But, alot of parents are complaining about this.
My kids not even in school and she’s chewing up my wallet… I fear the education process :S
Also glad to see you back up and running 
Sheshiru: Oh that’s right! I had forgotten you worked retail. Man, I bet you can just stand in the middle of the store and listen to my post nearly word for word from the parents passing by! HAHAHA
Dale: HAH! I complain, but I don’t recall it being any better w/o them. *grin*
JohnDoe: *chuckle* It’s scarier when you’re looking at it coming up. When you’re in the middle of it, the frustration cannot be measured.
BTW: This is apparently a month with TWO emergencies. This afternoon, Husband nursed the car home from picking up kidlets. It seems the clutch blew out or whatever clutches do that require them to be FRIGGIN’ REPLACED!!! ARRRRGH!!!
We just took in a foster kid last week, and he’s in kindergarten… so I think I know what we’re in for now. O_O
I hope you can still make it to DWEX!
Oh no! You drew me with a Mullet!! LOL
