success!

follow-up report:
i slept until about 11 on saturday. really really lovely. AND today, i did something almost abominable... i spent the lunch hour lounging by the pool at my apartment complex. we really did have a "california" day here today, with sun, very few clouds and 70F all day. so i read and tanned. (now THAT my mom would be proud of... the tanning part... well, she'd probably be proud of the reading too, but seeing as the family business is a salon, well, you get the idea.)

i made a few more little drawings last night, but i'm keeping some of them offline so i can get a stockpile big enough for another show at the Taft gallery. you'll just have to wait. :)

in other news, my husband has taken a trip back to high school to fill in on bass guitar with some guys from our youth group. i'm going to go see them play this sunday instead of watching the superbowl. mainly because it's russ playing, and secondly because at this point, it would almost be an insult to the NFL for me to watch the superbowl, seeing as i have NO idea who's playing and haven't watched an NFL game since i was 7.

i think that's all for now.

hopelessly uninteresting girl conjures up mindless dribble just to have a new blog entry

well, it's true. there's nothing very interesting to report on, except for doing taxes and applications for graduate school (russ, not me).

i'm listening to wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot on repeat... it hasn't gotten old yet, so we'll see how long i can take it. his voice is so soft and scratchy at the same time, i just want to fall asleep to it. seeing as i'm listening in my car, this has been a desire i've had to subvert, for the sake of my general safety and the safety of other drivers.

honestly, what i'm most looking forward to is sleeping late tomorrow. i can hear all the voices in my head about how the rest of the world wakes up at 7a.m. and how i'm wasting half my day, but i'm sorry, i just LOVE sleeping until about 11 or noon on my day off. and i've tried going to bed early and it just doesn't feel the same to me. i know the math is all there; it's the same number of hours... i just feel more "rested" if i stay up late and sleep late. good thing my mom doesn't read this. (sleeping late goes against more than one of her german work ethic convictions...) :)

bis spaeter! (until later!)

changes?!?!? again?!?!?!

i know, i know... it's just that i wasn't really sold on the green layout i had going and was looking for something fresh and new. i also transferred most of my images over to flickr.

p.s. you can leave comments on flickr if you have a yahoo account, you don't have to make a whole separate flickr one.

anyhow, i hope you like the snails and my newest painting, "the music box". it's pretty much my favorite thing now.

on a separate note... life has been hard lately. hard but really good.
i guess you never get to that place where you feel like you have it all settled and figured out. i'm starting to think that place doesn't exist, that all of life is steps of faith... each one bigger than the last. yay. (sigh).
but i'm learning a lot and i'm getting to a better place with my creative stuff. or maybe that's the fact that i've had almost three weeks off of work. i keep going in there and no one's there, which, as a graphic designer, i'm sort of dependent on the other people to supply my work flow. needless to say, i've been enjoying this breather.

tomorrow it's back to the grindstone.

cheers!

p.s. is it really 2006 already?
