Smile Smile Smile

Packing up the brushes later because it's going to be one of those weekends....

Here's a brief rundown of why I will be run down come Sunday evening. It starts like now and let me preface by saying I woke up at 3:30 am and tried to get back to sleep until 5am when I decided it wasn't happening and got up.
  • 5:30 am- COFFEE (its going to be a two cupper)
  • shower, breakfast, round up paints and supplies and promo material for my work day at Art Con warehouse
  • work on totem until it's time to go work at Art Con warehouse
  • work at Art Con warehouse (4-5 hours is what I'm expecting)
  • back home to stretch my back out for 30 minutes and then pop back up and work on totem
  • dinner
  • work on totem, finish totem before I can....
  • SLEEP (for a few hours)
  • up early on Sunday to scrabble some stuff together for my booth, repack my paints and supplies so I can work in my booth and not lose time
  • get to Bishop Arts at 10am to install my totem, set up booth
  • work in my booth all day on Sunday
COLLAPSE
I plan on not doing a damn thing on Monday. I won't be going out for like a week. I need my bed and no paintbrushes in my hand for like one day.
But through it all I am going to smile and breathe and breathe and smile. I got myself into all this after all. I just wish my back hadn't clicked out- it's really the only reason I'm kind of grumpy. That and waking up at 3:30 am. :/ GRR!

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
