Friday fumbling.

Its friday. Can this be a good thing or bad thing? Will have to wait until Monday to find out. Really need to do some massive cleaning. There are some monster dust bunnies under the furniture. One of the reasons to not love a pug is the shedding. One of the reasons to love a pug? Its a pug!!!

My daughter has returned from her European vacation. One week in Paris, another in Rome. So glad she went and experienced such wonderful places but oh so glad she returned home safely. She brought me several things but my favorites are the postcards she didn't have time to send home.

I took several pieces to the gallery but later realized I did not take pictures of them. So bad about this. I really need to look into a new camera so this will be a better process. I also committed to doing an encaustic workshop every third Saturday. They seem to love these things. Me I'm not so sure but have decided to ride this wave and see what happens. You have to be open to what your given in order to be given more.

My favorite day of the week.

Its Wednesday!!!! The day I hope to get a recharge of creative energy from "The Enclave". This group started twelve years ago. The core group is still active but there have been members come and go. We used to be more creative but right now that seems to be taking a back seat to social networking. As we age more problems arise with children and parents. I love these people and need them in my life. I can be more open about my feelings than I can with my family. They also help me to realize my creative drive without derision.

Without them I would probably just curl up and read my life away.

Okay, still playing with the posting of pictures. All the advice is about a lot of pictures. But can you place pics in different locations on your

weekend blues

I really am not a fan of the weekend. Not having a "regular day job" I don't need the weekend to get things done. But with that said I do have a husband who is home on the weekends and commandeers (sp?) the tv, patio, living room, and in general everything. Meals have to make him happy. I sometimes spend all day Saturday away from the house but then I am caught at home on Sunday. Making brunch spends some of the day but then the afternoon requires a lot of discussion about everything.....

I mowed this morning and am hoping that the husband will weedeat but it doesn't look like that is happening. I will probably pull out the monster and give it a go later when it starts to cool off in the evening.

I am delaying doing paperwork on our taxes. We filed extensions which now need to be completed. Since we have an apt on Tuesday with the cpa it would be good to be prepared.

Starting the blogging trail.

Hey, I know how it goes for me. I like to start things. Then I sometimes let them sit for a while. Contemplating how they are developing. If changes need to be made or the whole thing scrapped. I have a lot of dialogue going on in my head all the time. I need to put some down in words. This is blog is hopefully going to help me clear some of the debris and make room for growth.

A lot of changes going on. Most not decisions I have made but things that happen as we grow. Our parents age, sicken and eventually die. Some sooner than others. Sometimes the one who looked the strongest goes first and you are surprised. You shift your life around to accomodate the ones left behind. You have to deal with people you would really rather not be reminded of and sometimes you are surprised at how others seem to not realize what has happened and their lives are not affected...

I wish I was smarter and more atuned to how to fix all the things that need to be fixed and know to leave the things that don't need fixing alone.
