A pesky bug....

 
I got it, that bad cold that is going around.
Last week the hubster got it, and he lost his voice, okay
I liked that part.  Now I thought I was going to dodge
the bullet, I have not had a cold I bet in 15 years.
But got up today and its bad, and least its not next
week when I would be jetting off to Phoenix, so bring
it on so I wont be down for the count in Arizona, also
got some Cold fx to take care of this bug.

Addiction...and road update

 
I am reading a terrific book, called All Fall Down
by Jennifer Weiner
its about a blogger  the original reason I picked it up,who is addicted to Oxy and other pain relieve drugs and it all started because she hurt her back .  I cant put it down it is riveting in its process how the addiction takes hold,
  I understand how addiction can happen.  I have a friend
who has an addiction ( and really this friend is not me for sure).  It
affects everyone and everything in their lives.  I highly recommend this book,
if you like to read great fiction books this one is for you.
 
On a lighter note I am off on a road trip with my friend, going thru the
Rocky Mountains, and on to her house, which is a lake community in another
province for some down time, and fun.  No husbands, no kids, no dog for me.  The rest of the time I am away I will have a guest blogger so stay tuned starting tomorrow.

I am a blogger.....

 
When someone asks me what I do, I tell them I am a artist and a  blogger.
Then the questions come, dependent upon the age of
the asker, what is a blog? why do you do it? where do you show your art?
what kind of art do you do?
I blog and I show my art on my blog, that's what I do.
 
 Where else could you show your art, or your craft, or your thoughts, or whatever and still remain as anonymous as you want to be but on your blog 
 
Where else could you be tolling away on your blog, and someone
come and offer you a deal to write a book (no it did not happen to me, still waiting lol)
.
Where else could you meet people from all over the world and call them friend
 
Where else could you read a blog that touches your heart.
Where else could you meet a group of likeminded women and not even have to go out of your house, get a recipe, a housecleaning tip, design ideas, see magical art I could go on and on.
Where else can you get critics on your art, or ask for ideas, or just wanna communicate your thoughts and ideas and get feedback.
 
That's why I am a blogger and proud to be one.

get happy.....

I have been really happy lately, the hubster is feeling better, and
life in general is not kicking me in the pants. 
Here is a little story of how I came by my name
now Lee on a girl is not really common, especially
spelled  the way it is.  Well my mother tells the
story, like this, this was back in the day
when apparently drinking did not affect
your baby, (lol) now we know what happened to me.
Anyway as she says she was in a "beer Parlour" have
a beer with my Dad, and they meet a (lady) who
name happened to be Lee, and that's how I got
my name.  My other sister's name was Delta,
not a common name either (was my dads mothers name)
and my other sister name is Vicki-Lynn (lol) sounds
like a country and western singer, my older sister
came up with that one.  So do you know
how your name came about.  My daughters name is Lyndsey,
my husband picked that one out, but her middle name
is Brydges which was my maiden name, which died
when my dad died.  So she said whenever she has
kids she will ensure one them has that name as
a middle name.....

Sweating the small stuff


well today I was doing my wifely duty and doing
a little bit of clean up.  The hubster is very good
about keeping things clean. I am making
Chili for dinner, its cool, and windy today,
so the fall food comes out.  Didn't find
the right exercise shirt, but managed to spend
an hour at the gym, and I even sweated, so
I must have been working hard. So what did
you do today?

A whole lot of shopping....

 
 today was all about
looking at granite, coran, and quartz's countertops,
getting new ones for the kitchen/ bathrooms, and laundry room, cant decide
what to go with, do you have any of the above do you like them?
new kitchen tiles
new under mount sinks in bathrooms, laundry and kitchen
new faucets, a complete redo of the kitchen.  We have oak cabinets, nice wood
but its dated now, its all about dark woods, then light woods come back.  I
cant afford new cabinets, so we are updating around them.  Should be nice....the looking continues.....

A Change is good

 
are you sick of these girls of mine,
they are all starting to blend together to me
I think I might have to change it up, or
not draw them anymore.  Friday I am
off to the ART Walk we have once a year,
maybe I can get my mojo back and make
some art that sings to me.  Do you ever
think you are just making the same art over
and over again and not challenging yourself?

No Shaving required

 
I know I said I wasnt going to post until Monday, but here I am.
Have I got alot to say no, have I done a lot today no. We had a huge
thunderstorm last night, and lots thunder and lightning.  I love
those kinda storms, the devil dog apparently did not, he stuck
to the hubster like glue, apparently he thinks the hubster
is better protraction than I am. Today I have some items to return, I need to go to the library and get some book tapes, I need to go and get my chin threaded, before
they ask me if I need a shave.  Ok gonna go and get going, talk to you tommorow

Misc Friday

 
This page started as something else, which did not work out, so I collaged over it and started again, and just left the collage. Her pink head is because I had red
crayon on my hand, and touched her forehead with it, its only in
my sketchbook so It really didn't bother me.
Today I had lunch with a friend that is visiting from out of town, and not much else.  And the days of lazing around are few, since the hubster is home, when he
is working, apparently I also have to be working, he needs a job (ha ha).
Today was great and we bbq salmon, I don't like salmon, the hubster ate it, I
had something else.  Ok I wasn't going to post today but here I am, I wont
be back until Monday, talk to you then.

the Blondie tour...

 
I went medium blonde, yep, my hair wasn't really very dark to start with, but lots of grey were coming thru, first I debated about just going with it, let the grey come
thru and be done with it.  Its not that nice grey that white grey its that dull lifeless
grey that drags you down.  So instead of dyeing my hair my usual natural light brown, I went medium blonde, and you know I like it, hides the grey really well, and I decided it was me.  So now know I dye my hair, by the time I am 80 you will know all
my secrets.
Since blondes have more fun I told the hubster if two 18 year old hunks ring the doorbell just let them in, they are for me

How often do you do it.......

ah ha caught you , I mean how often do you post, or how often do you think you should post.  I have read various articles on you should post every second day,
3 times a week.  Since I have taken the attitude that I am going to post
only when I feel like it, it has taken this invisible  weight off my shoulders.
This weight is only put on by me, and to top it all off I have not
slowed down to much in posting on my blog Ha ha.  Though the summer
for sure everyone slows down in blog land, you gotta enjoy the
weather well its here right.  Today its beautiful out the sun is shining, cloudless sky
I am taking my camera out with me to find some inspiration to reflect in
my journal.  So what are you doing today

he came home from the hospital in February

A little big of this and that

 
a little sketch from my sketchbook, colored with only markers
you can get such pure deep colour from markers.
We have been talking about summer holidays,
but hubster still is not that well, so I don't think
we are going to go to far.  I am going on my
usual trip to Phoenix in October with girls. But
I am in the mood for something more....what are you
doing this summer?
