Sunday

Good morning Sunday! I've never really been fond of you.... but then again....... I've always despised Monday. And so maybe dear Sunday you are cursed... guilt by association. Of which I should understand as I have been at both the giving and receiving end of that rope.


But I begin my rant with my usual silent pledge......... (1) try, TRY! to stay positive and (2) please please connie!!! dont use the "f" word........... I read a post recently that stated how a very successful blogger/artists gave one bit of advice being............. do a post where you list 5 things about yourself that people might not know.

I thought about this....... and thought............ and pretty much what you dont know about me is for the most part ......far better for you! I mean, we all have our secrets now dont we? And if I read a post that will reveal 5 things about the blogger of which I do not know... then I expect some little o' bitty hairs to come a standin' up on my neck. I want some lowdown. I guess I would hope for this based upon the assumption that not all people are so country fed. Maybe the Soprano's proved too much for me ...watching season upon season. Or it could be the family from which I came. I come from a very mean bunch of people.

So to tell you five things about me that you might not know......as if you would want to.

(2) I'll begin with number 2...... it seems only right because number 1 has become a distorted number, dont you thinK? To be number 1 for so long must in itself be a curse. I envy the number 1 and I have pity on it too. But there, there, I've already given the number 1 far too much time.......... and so with that

(2) I am addicted to chocolate. I love chocolate more than sex. More than other humans. More than good wine. More than most things. Dark chocolate with a smear of orange. Chocolate porno......... theres a thought. Chocolate bars of all types coming together .....

(2) 2 again. I use the "f" word constantly. Constantly. I use it so much that I hate myself for it. But having said that......... the "f" word sums up things so well that are for the most part basically fucked.

(3) animals are driving me crazy. CRAZY! They never stop. I live my life constantly letting them in and out and feeding and sweeping up hair and washing clothes and preparing food and wiping up pee and poo from ole' Eddie. Cleaning cat litter over and over and over.
Yes its true. I need a break.

(5) because this is getting boring. While I humbly appreciate so many things in life I have total disregard for most other things. I suppose it could be said that I am a "hater". I am not a person that necessarily dwells on revenge because I KNOW that revenge will come. Or to present it in more positive pom pom glitter sparkle verbage......... KARMA. And I always accept my own.

Moving along........... Halloween! I love people that love Halloween! People that think about that one day all year long! Living in progressive preparation for that one day. Over and over. Do any of you people actually "live" Halloween all the time? I would! If I had the resources and I loved a particular holiday or event with such passion I would drink it in and swim around in it. Every single day. Yes Halloween is good. When the veil is lifted between the living and the dead. Or so it is said.



I'm tired of painting girls. My daughter says that my girl paintings look forced. Like Mr. Rogers dressed for and AC/DC event. I have quizzed her on this to some extent. first mere questions here and there and then outright water boarding. She explained more fully to me what she meant when that went down. Try it sometime!

And so I have started on this little fella'. It will be about the pure of heart. arff, arff.
Another break away from the "girls". This is called.........let see........... "fear not!" I am excited to the point of pee pee about using resin again! I was big pee pee excited about discovering a method used by an artist here in Nashville where you apply a layer of resin over your initial painting and then paint on the resin and then apply resin over that! HOT Damn! Do you realize you can paint just about anything and it will look like the biz using that method?!!! Big pee pee excitement! Lets here it for resin! When I think back now I realize that those great looking "forever" breads my mom bought in were probably coated IN RESIN!!!

Okay (1) i dig resin!

My camera does not want to photo my jewelry. Sniff. Funny how that works. My Nikon will photograph things better left unseen......... but it wont photograph my jewelry. But soon I will be presenting kinda a lot of jewelry. I know you're all so thrilled. And you know, I have enough followers now that I should hold the occasional give aways! Only I will ask for say ....... the first person to comment on my blog about what particular form of insanity they love most and oh....... their favorite medication. Hmmmm....... yeah, sounds good.

Well I'm going to make jewelry now.
People bring your babies in for the Halloween. People can do some nasty things to little babies on the majick night. For such tragedy to come from such wonderful events.......... just look out for the kitties........ pray for them.

I would like to take this paragraph to thank new followers. It is so humbling to see a new face. It also makes me a little nervous. Squee and I started this blog to endorse art and art lessons, things however took a different turn. We find ourselves asking what do we want to represent? Our original intention as well as art was to channel money into the animal cause from art. AND WE DO! I so much enjoyed coming home every morning to read happy blogs. But then..... things changed within my own heart. Squees too.

I need to post Nashville pictures! I so enjoy looking at pictures of other cities. I have never really traveled and so when you guys post these pictures I'll just spend lots of time looking and reading and imagining.

I dont want this blog to be about burden. But I dont want false escapism either. So I pledge to take more Nashville pictures and focus on this life around me so that you, the viewer , can visually touch what my eye processes.
Because I do accept your patronage as the most sincere form of flattery.
Thank you.

And Hello Wayne!
you sure are looking good!
