Plan for Rob "Scar" Parton

Well, I guess I'll start off by stating this is the first full day I have had off in exactly one month. Every day I come home from work, and pretty much eat dinner, watch a movie if I have time, and crash. I've had little to no time to do anything. However it's not too bad in that when I have dead time at my one job, I do get some slack to work on my laptop.
But, all is not lost. I might be finally getting a small apt in town, which would eliminate the 45 minute drive to work and 45 minute drive back every single day; a sizeable amount of time that I could use to work on other things. Too bad I have so many things on my plate right now, other than gaming or GG stuff, like my wine merchant examination and management training.
But, there is hope, once the summer is over. One of the benefits of my boring job (being a wine merchant), is I have a lot of quiet time with no customers (given our dead mall), so I do get a good amount of time to write stuff out on paper; can't take my laptop though.
Two projects on the go. Working on my website/portfolio, and working on the GUI pack. By working, I mean barely. I have major issues working with Photoshop on my laptop (it's stable like whoa), and the lack of time is killing me. Once September comes around, I'm going to have a hell of a lot more time on my hands, but for now, just not so much.
On the GUI Pack front though, I'm wondering what people would be interested in. Buttons, window skins, etc, or is there an interest in other things (gauges, loading screens, etc) as well as some new other things? (my current project is trying to eliminate the menu systems in the GUI/Mission Editors and replacing them with a "toolbox" window, if I can)
But for now, I have to spend my day off making my house not look like the crap it looks like right now.
