That is what I was thinking. And we usually also have a fulltime or part-time job to boot - most of us. We are crazy!!
I know what you mean about our expenses showing. I just reserved my hotel today for a show and having to pay extra 15.00 dog fee for hotel. Not bad, but have to watch those pennies. And I paid my entry fees last Wednesday on line and have the 3.50 added free since I pay on line. I did save 1.75 of that though. Then food and let's not forget the vendors!! They are so tempting. I need a new CC brush. Three in full coats now I have to get several new brushes.
