Tonight!

Good evening!

Tonight is a cold and blustery night here in Oregon. It is raining outside, and I am soooo in a snuggly, stay-at-home kind of mood!!! My official plan is to go get into my most comfortable jammies, come back down stairs with a large warm blankie, and snuggle on the couch with my sweetie and the girls while maybe watching a movie, or possibly reading, or maybe just taking a nap on his lap.

You see, I only slept about 5 hours last night. I woke up at 1:30 early this morning. I have a dream career that I am trying to piece together in my head apparently both consciously and subconsciously. This dream makes me sooo excited that no matter what I tried, I just could not fall asleep. So, instead, I read a bit about my dream, wrote about my dream, envisioned my dream, and then when my body couldn’t stand it any longer, about 5 hours later, I FINALLY fell back to sleep.

As I head off to go thoroughly enjoy the rest of my night…

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

The First Night of Our Vacation!

Good evening,

I would LOVE to tell you that I have all sorts of plans for the first couple days of my vacation, but if I was being honest – I got NOTHIN’!! I have a really hard time with vacations because I have a really difficult relaxing.

Ok, am I the only one?

I am so used to being a go-go-go kind of girl, so when I FINALLY give myself permission to take some time to rest, I have A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard time actually doing it!! So, it always takes me a few days before I realize, OMG I am on VACATION!! So, I am not there ye,t, but I will be!!

Tomorrow, after having the alarm turned off, and hence giving myself the chance to sleep in,  I think I will take myself to a couple of the thrift stores around and see what treasures I can find for collaging; or maybe I will just stay home and spend some serious time arting – that would be SO FUN!!! 😉 Tomorrow evening, after my sweetie finally gets off work and he is able to join me on our vacation, and then we are going to go over to my bestie’s place and we are going to have  BBQ put on by the boys!! I hear we are having kabobs, which should be yummy!! GO BOYS!!

Then on Saturday, Jason and I are cleaning like fiends so that when we come back next week we come home to a clean house! Our friend, Don will be over one Sunday to house sit for us – thank you very much, Don! and then my sweetie and I are TOTALLY headed for the beach!! WHOO! HOO!!

On the artist front, I wanted to tell you that I have found the BEST collage book, and I really wanted to share it with you!! This book is called, Collage Discovery Workshop and is written by Claudine Hellmuth. This book has a bunch of great collage ideas, especially in techniques to not be paralyzed with fear at the prospect of staring at blank canvas, which can be daunting to any artist, especially a newbie like me!! I will have some pics of some of the new techniques that I have been trying tomorrow!!

So, on that note…

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

Just a Saturday!

Good evening!

Today has just been a plain old Saturday. Not good, not bad just plain!! I have been sitting here trying to think of something witty, or fun, or interesting to talk about, but I got nothing. I think they call this writer’s block!

I am a little sad today, or maybe just hormonal. My best friend is on her way back to Arizona today, and I am just praying that her and our niece get back safely.

I have been crying pretty non-stop, but not all sad tears, which is why I think I am just a raging hormone at the moment! Commercials, television shows, just thinking – cry, cry, cry!!! Happy – cry! Sad – cry! Funny – cry! Emotional roller coasters are draining!!! LOL!!!

My husband and I have been hanging out at the house today, watching movies, and literally doing much of anything!! How sad is that!!!  I am watching an old Shirley Temple movie, I am not sure which one, but one of the women in this movie is inspiring me to roll my hair in curlers this evening!!! Maybe, I will take pics and post this for you! 😉

My husband just came home from the grocery store and offered me ice cream for dinner – HAHAHA! I turned him down, but that just shows you what kind of a lazy kinda day we’ve been having!!! I think it was just time to have one of those kind of  Saturdays!!! I hope you get the opportunity to have one of these kind of days too!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 🙂
