Well....

I did make a whole new post, and upon trying to add photos, Blogger ate the post.  So instead of wasting a bunch of time, I'll try the pics again, and if it works, I'll rewrite the post.  I do have stuff to do.  But I'm not bitter




And I still can't load pics.  I'll try again later.

Sooo.....

So long story short, I'm currently unemployed.   While it was a bit of an ego sting that they basically threw me away like old bathwater, I'm ok with it.  Because it means I get to spend more time doing what I want to do, and not performing like a dancing monkey to someone else's whim.  I won't miss that.  So hopefully I'll be blogging a little more, because I find it therapeutic, but mostly I'll be painting a lot more, studying graphics, and hopefully enjoying life a tad more.  I've had jobs I hated most of my life because that's where my experience was, and I was mostly pigeon holed.  I figured if I was going to work, I might as well make as much money as I can doing it.  And while that still seems like reasonable logic to me, at my age quality of life just seems a little more important.  Of course I have that luxury because my husband makes a good living at his own business.  I realize that I'm very fortunate.  It wasn't always that way, but there has to be some benefit to aging, right?  I'll attempt to post a few photos of recent paintings, but I still haven't figured out if this is the best blogsite for posting pics, so I'll do the best I can. 

Another year? Really?

Well, I can't believe another year has gone by since I've been here.  You would think that in a whole year, I would've scraped up the time to post at least a few times here.  I guess I'll make an actual pledge to post at least once per month.  If nothing else, I'll post some artwork on here.  I'm still painting. 


This past July, we moved to a hazelnut farm about a mile or so from our old house.  We had a lot of fixing up to do, because this house was built in the 70's and our other one was built in 2000.  Although it's very different, it's at least an interesting house.  And I can have a garden.  I have a little greenhouse now, a huge shop to paint in, and a wet bar upstairs!  My favorite part. I think, is the full laundry room upstairs, because I used to have more of a closet that held a washer and dryer before.  Now I have cabinets in there, and a rod to hang clothes and a counter to fold them.  which I should be doing now.  But it's Thursday night, I'm tired, and so I'm saving that for the weekend.  I'll try to post some pics in here.  If it doesn't work I'm going to lose patience and have to come back to it tomorrow, but I'll give it a shot.
