So There Was This Bear In Me That Really Needed To Come Out
(For Real).
Now in case you’re all wondering, but because I made you all pinkie-swear that you wouldn’t ask, my rooster painting did not go down (or is it up) in flames. (at least not yet) It is coming along. But truthfully it’s not coming along easily. Which is no big deal except I really wanted to do this bear painting.
But I was all like “I’ll just knock this rooster painting out quickly, and then I can do my bear painting.” First of all that is a huge failure of logic on my part for a couple of reasons.
1. Since I have already tried to do my rooster and failed, the belief that I could just “knock it out” is kinda ludicrous. I mean really.
2. Um . . . Okay so maybe there is only one reason. but it is a really good one.
So as it is Sunday I have the whole day to work on my art uninterrupted (yes even the husband is forbidden to come in.) I think I’ll just “knock this bear painting out” and then I can get on to my rooster painting.
Uh huh.
Yes I’m still in a mood. I think it’s because I’m not doing an art fair for like 21 days or something. And the lack of pressure is making me giddy.
And now for something totally unrelated
At 3am yesterday morning my husband starts shouting at me from the kitchen. It seems the water softner was backing up and spilling like a geyser (maybe more like a waterfall) out of the kitchen sink. Long story short we worked for over an hour cleaning up upteen gallons of water.
And when I woke up the next morning, I stagger bleary eyed out of the bedroom, and say in my best petulant child voice. “I don’t wanna go to work.”
Mikes like “Okay”
Me: “I wanna play hookie.”
Mike nodding like, I understood you the first time babe. “Okay”
and so we do. We run to Ft. Dodge and I buy clothes that I don’t need and go to a movie. Which is actually the whole point of this post.
We went to see Julie & Julia and it was simply charming.
This is coming along really nicely. What size is it and what paper are you suing with it?
Really glad you gave yourself Saturday for a fun get away day!!!! Glad you gave yourself Sunday for art! Good for you. Too bad about the water softner — did you have to get a new one?
I hope to see Julie & Julie when it comes out on video.
Hope your week is starting out well.
Thanks Angela, for the kind words.
We also plan to get the movie when it’s available to buy.
