So Who’s Talking About Me Now
I had every intention of posting the follow up to vanity galleries today but I got a pleasant surprise and thought I would share. Angela Finney in her new blog recently posted about me and said some of the nicest things.
Kinda makes me wish I hadn’t done such a silly post yesterday. But I was in a mood. And much like my gallery cat Budda, when I’m in a mood I need to get “a little” of the craziness out of me or I’ll bite someone. And no one wants that.
Part of being an introvert is my inability to handle too much praise. So I’ll just say Thanks so much Angela. It was all so very kind.
Next I’ll finish up with Vanity Galleries and then move on to 20 things I’ve Learned From 20 Years Of Doing Art Fairs.
I am glad you liked it, Mona. I feel very lucky to have met you and to get to interact with you about being an artist, being a critter lover and life in general.
I am impressed with the level of honesty and frankness you have on your blog overall — I think readers (not necessarily vanity gallery owners) will appreciate the candor of your vanity gallery post. I do hope any referrals look at some of your other fantastic posts, as well.
I am busy with all of the nonart things I postponed over the last two weeks (and to some degree, last three months). Besides overdue mowing, there is a dirty house and miscellaneous appointments I would not schedule until after the art fair. I have two minor medical procedures - one on Monday and one on Wednesday next week. Seeing my vet to have a very serious dicussion about Buddy this afternoon. Whine, whine — this too shall pass.
You are home this weekend then?
WARNING: If you get into doing art events big time you may wind up like me. The lawn gets mowed with the tractor or occasionally my father in law takes pity and does it. The house gets vacuumed but rarely dusted. I do dishes, laundry and water the garden daily. All else is left to fate. (or until I can’t take the filth anymore.)
Ah . . . it’s a glamorous life.
Hoping Buddy is gonna pull through okay. It’s hard to watch them suffer and it’s almost impossible to make the decision to end it. I feel for you on this. I really do.
Thanks for the “this is what I do” info., Mona. I feel less pressured — have to just keep juggling it– but without so much sense of angst for not getting it all done perfectly.
The vet is insistent that he knows what he is doing based on his years of experience and types of conditions treated. I am more convinced that he does. The farrier is coming on Monday — may glue on some pads — as long as he follows the vets philosophy on not building him up at the heels. Thank you for your understanding, Mona.
