My neck is just about well. Still can’t turn to the left without pain but it isn’t bad. Excited about starting a new Skyline Painting today! Still working on Charlotte, NC and then I think I will paint Richmond. Working my way out from beautiful Southwest Virginia.
Bowling starts tonight! Yea!!!!

Wow! Lots of white stuff out there! Our street has not been plowed but I can see traffic moving on one of the main roads from my window. The guys have shoveled the sidewalk twice now and it is still pouring down.
I’ll never forget what my brother did when we were kids. He would clear off the driveway after about an inch or two had accumulated and then repeat as often as necessary. That way he was just pushing it off rather than lifting heavy snow.
Now he has a snow blower.

As I have mentioned before I have fought the battle of the bulge my whole life. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have the freedom to eat anything without gaining weight.
Anyway, I have learned lots of tricks over the years to keep my weight down and I recently discovered a new one that surprised me.
Once in a while I get the munchies and give in and then am mad at myself. I hate being stuffed. It ruins the great experience of eating. It is like I have to over eat once in a while to remind myself I don’t want to do that.
Exercise is supposed to make you hungry but if I choose to exercise when I am about to over eat it actually takes my appetite away!
Since Clyde is also prone to eating a little too much I told him I had a new way to stop the munchies.
He said,” Sew your lips together? That would probably do it but if you can still eat, then you deserve it.”
I love to look at snow but I hate being socked in when the roads are covered. Our roads have been cleared so I will be running around to stores and the library before the really big storm dumps a blanket on us.
Heavy snow storm is predicted for tomorrow starting this evening. I hope it fizzles. I still haven’t gotten to the store for boots. Maybe I can get that done today.
Winter cheers!

I have Line Dance and Yoga on the same day for a while and I really am tired at the end of the day. I am always tired but last night I was extra pooped!
Anyway, lots to do today and I keep running into road blocks that I put in my Life with The Word and Bird Man section. I will keep moving and stop tripping, I hope!
I don’t care how cold it is right now, I wish I were at the scene below! Love the beach!

When my son was little I read a lot of Sesame Street books to him. One of our favorites was Grover’s Bad Awful Day. It is a great book to read to kids so they can get through tough times. Well, I certainly thought about that book this morning.
You know you are having a bad day when the pajamas you threw on to the dresser falls in the trash can.
You know you are having a bad day when your water filter just sits there and does not fill up the pitcher.
You know you are having a bad day when you click on something and get a phony virus infection notice that you can’t get off without turning the computer off.
Lastly, you know you are having a bad day when you call your husband to ask about a computer problem and the computer gives you a dirty look and just spins and spins and spins.
I am going to go get groceries so I can say I got something done this morning and then come back to all my computer work.
I was so pleased the Aquatic Center was open today! I had to use the competition pool which is always colder than the leisure pool. Oh well, once you get in and manage not to scream it isn’t so bad. I like to swim once a week but can’t always get to a pool. The chlorine is a problem this time of year but I slather lotion on and hope for the best! Yoga and Line Dance tomorrow! Got to keep moving!

Please click on my latest Youtube! Hope to have a new one soon!
Well, I don’t know what I was thinking yesterday. People upload videos to Youtube all the time and monetize them without a fee.
The free software I downloaded should not be referring me to another site to buy software. I will use it to modify my videos and if they drop me, fine.
Every time I want to do something new I just have to realize it will take me a long time to get it going. I had such a hard time with preparing my images for Instagram, but that problem is solved.
I will get time lapse youtubes up! Never surrender, never give up! That is a quote from the hilarious movie, Galaxy Quest. I will live by that quote, Captain.

It looks like I will be paying to use my free software. I should have known there was a catch. Since I actively sell my work and do advertise on my Youtubes I can not claim the home use only category so I have to buy more software to be able to use what I downloaded for free yesterday. Yuck!
I do live to paint but as I have said before I can’t take them with me so yes I do advertise and work very hard on the computer to sell originals and prints.
Check out my weekly specials below! Two of them end tomorrow and the third one is up all December!
I also have my work on all kinds of home and office items. A great Canadian patron just bought a Ying Yang Butterfly painting on a necklace! Artwork is great for Christmas gifts!

As I have said before I love all the arts and would pursue them all if I had a bunch of lives. I consider myself to be an excellent, highly accomplished visual artist, an accomplished pianist, and pretty good dancer.
I never thought about writing until I started this blog and it has been quite an interesting experience.
Clyde reads my blogs and comments on them. I think they are pretty good and well written so I got up my courage and asked the master what he thought.
Clyde has been published over 200 times in small press magazines and writes every day.
He said, “Well done, grasshopper!”
I replied, “But master you have never taught me the way of writing.”
He said, “That is why I say well done. You never bother the master.”

The reason I don’t have another youtube up is another computer problem. I am very proud that I don’t jump up and down and scream anymore. I just keep punching buttons until I finally call in the reserves to help me out.
I found a free Mac editing software program so I can modify the DVDs before I upload them to Youtube. That way I don’t have to wait forever for Youtube to do my edits.
I modified one and after a very long time figured out how to export it to the desk top only to find it wouldn’t open. After a lot of fooling around I think I am going to have to pay to get it to open even though the software was free.
Another day, another computer problem! ARGHHHH!
Here is my latest Heart painting! Something good for today!

I just cleaned out a closet that just about slayed me. Too much stuff! One of the reasons I chose a small house was so we couldn’t pile up a lot of stuff. It didn’t work. I just have to spend more time than I want to hauling things out of here. I have a laundry basket in the back of my car for stuff that needs to go. It fills up all the time! Yikes! Got to get the computer stuff done so I can paint. Got to paint!

Clyde is a very considerate guy in many ways. He can’t clean up his stuff in the computer room but I like to think that is because he is in to so many things he needs a secretary. I am not going to be that secretary.
Anyway, for many years he has been taking his clothes to the living room so he won’t wake me up at 4:30. Yes, that is when he gets up for work.
I like to goad him because he usually comes up with a funny response. It occurred to me the other night that I didn’t know if he dressed there or took the clothes to the bathroom so I asked him if he actually dressed in the living room.
He said yes, he opens the curtains and front door and turns on a strobe light so the neighbors can get a great view.
He does dress in the living room, not the bathroom. No strobe light.

Had a great time Line Dancing with my friends today at the Draper Mercantile! I think it was one of our best performances! If you don’t Line Dance, take it up! It is my favorite exercise! Nothing like it!
