Closer closer!

It's Friday and I've successfully knocked out all paid commissions except for Big Buddah. Looking forward to spending all weekend and today working on it.
Got a project approved yesterday at long last so a few coins in my "MUST RAISE RENT" fund. Sorely needed! I have quite a ways to go in making the magic happen but Im closer and that's what matters.
I'm also closer to getting back into MY paints which is the most exciting news to me. It's very easy to get lost in the land of EVERYONE ELSE...especially when you have to pay rent and bills and it rests on your shoulders to make it happen. So I can't wait to do some painting for me. CAN'T. WAIT.
Another chilly weekend in Texas and I've been slowly chipping away at the "DOES THIS WORK FOR ME?" project. Knocking out things that don't serve me and organizing and streamlining. Got a new and cheaper energy provider and yesterday got my internet service at a more affordable rate. SAVING MONEY every way I can this year. I've even been experimenting with GREY WATER to flush the toilets sometimes 😝😅 I don't think that will save me much but it makes me feel like an earth loving hippie and reusing my bathwater for an actual purpose instead of just draining it out. Yes, Im a little funny like that.
This is the year no one takes advantage of me anymore. Snip, snip, snip all silliness is getting cut out of my world.
Big paint day in the studio and I'm ready for it! 🌞 I feel like I'm back on the ladder and climbing. Let's go!

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...
