Mondays don’t usually bum me out but I definitely got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I think the cold weather is getting me down a little.
Usually I like the change of seasons and just because I have to wear a heavy bathrobe over my clothes is no reason not to enjoy looking at the pretty snow outside. I am one of those extremely cold people.
If I turned up the heat to accommodate me the others would burn up.
Anyway, I didn’t paint when the light was right so now I am mad at myself. I don’t usually accept any excuses to keep from painting but I did this time.
Oh well, time to cheer up and look forward to spaghetti tonight!

I am real pleased to add another state to my list of locations for my artwork! A great Nebraska patron bought a print of Red Eyed Hoot! Now I have artwork in 26 states, Canada, Germany, England, Australia, and Russia! My work marches on!
Beautiful day for the Radford Christmas parade! We will be sure to see the great floats so I need to work double time so I can get out of the house. Yesterday I actually left for two hours to do some Christmas shopping! Who says a workaholic can’t take a little time off?
Cheers! Happy Holidays!

I just don’t have the time to put much of a blog up today. Running around in circles and saying hi to myself as I pass by. Hope to do better tomorrow! Got to get everything done so I can get to Yoga tonight. Got to stretch out these muscles before they tighten up into knots that hurt!
Cheers!

As I have mentioned before, I hate to shop! I am probably the fastest shopper ever! I’ll bet I could set records for the least amount of time spent finding something to buy. Sometimes this is great and sometimes it is not so great. I didn’t shop around for my new phone and my brother has not stopped laughing about the price I paid.
Oh well. My dancing shoes are starting to get holes in the inside so I guess it won’t be long before there are holes all the way through. Time to get on over to the shoe store and spend about five minutes or less getting a new pair and then it is off to Line Dance class! Yes! Got to step away from the computer!
Today is the last day for this week’s specials below! Don’t miss out!

I am running around in circles today! So much to do and my son is home sick. Yikes! I have to get him to the doctor at 11:30 which means I have to start painting much earlier than usual if I want to catch the best light in the studio. Still looking forward to Line Dance tomorrow! Got to paint, play the piano, and dance! They all keep me going!
Well, I did get to paint in spite of all my chores and now I will publish this! Cheers!

As I have mentioned before, Clyde and I are not happy with digital TV. We were just fine without it and could get public television. Since we lost the public television station with the digital takeover we were forced to get cable but we will not pay cable for all the TVs so our bedroom TV blips in and out. Sometimes the stations come in and sometimes they come in with a lot of abstract art stills. Lots of times only one station comes in.
Last night I reminded Clyde of how television was when we were kids. We turned the set on and the stations came in. We didn’t need a bunch of others and it would work in any room.
He replied, “We’ve come a long way baby!” He was, of course, being sarcastic. We would both like to go back to the old way.
Line Dance class did not meet tonight and may not meet for three weeks! Yikes! I just hope I can get over to the Thursday class in Blacksburg. It is a lot harder for me to get out during the day but I will make every effort to get there. I love Line Dance! Hope I don’t get too tied up.

I am still working hard on my new floral landscape, A Field of Beauty, and it really is coming along well! I haven’t had an angry moment with it with is quite unusual. Paintings can be so exasperating but I really do love what I do.
I wish I didn’t have to spend so much time promoting my work but I can’t make them without money and I can’t take them with me so I have to work hard to find homes for them. If I could find an agent that could do all the business work for me I would but art agents are as scarce as hens teeth and I have been told a lot of them are more trouble than help.
Anyway, I keep at it. My artwork keeps me going!

I like to watch TV with Clyde when I get the chance. He always has something interesting to say and oftentimes says something that cracks me up. Last night a commercial came on about people with bad tax debt and the lawyer is going to lend a hand because that is what he does – helps people.
The problem is so severe that the lawyer claims he will be glad to talk in an office near you. Clyde said I think he means he will be glad to talk in a prison near you.
Considering the tax debt in the ad, the talk will probably have to be in a prison. LOL!
I finally got my replacement phone and I am not going to try to figure it out without reading the book. My old phone was really old. No camera, wifi, email, etc. so this one is quite different and I am determined not to do anything stupid.
They sent a book and I am going to read it this time! Everything is so complicated now we practically have to read books to breathe. That certainly isn’t much of an exaggeration! Yoga class is tomorrow and yoga teachers do teach you how to breathe to do it right! They don’t pass out a book but they do emphasize proper breathing.
Cheers!

So much to do all the time! I try to put up youtubes once a week or so but it is difficult. The Youtube usually just takes a few minutes but the editing takes a lot of time. I like to add music but it is so hard to find something that doesn’t drown me out. I have learned to practically yell but my voice is still too soft for most of the music on Youtube.
Oh well. Please click on my latest very short one. It is under 50 seconds.

When I started using Facebook there wasn’t a lot going on. I didn’t have many friends and there weren’t a lot of posts. Now I have well over 2000 and the posts are a lot of fun! I like to read about friends and the jokes are great! When I see a good one I have to tell Clyde and he usually has an addition that is funny and oftentimes funnier than the original joke. This time he didn’t have anything to add. I love this one! Puns are great!
What do you call a cow that does not give milk? A milk dud.
We have had such a long dry spell that I am enjoying the sound of rain! I have never disliked cloudy days. I prefer sunny days but cloudy days are great, too! I am always too busy to pay a lot of attention to the weather. As long as a hurricane or tornado does not show up, I’m good.
