For the first time in 7 years I won’t be in the Spring Art show. I forgot to sign up. I guess it doesn’t matter, I don’t have any new art work to hang anyway. A break this year will probably be a good thing. I really would like to get my act together in the art department and start creating again.
Yesterday I was assigned moderator on a small artists board for the Animals art group. I hardly do anything myself yet I said I’d do this. I just need to check it and reply to any messages. I should do some art too and participate. When I joined I jut put up scans of my old art. In reality I haven’t painted much of anything in over a year. A half finished horse on canvas I lost interest in, a half finished horse on paper, a half finished sketch of Pope John Paul and another one in the lines stage. Rather than sit my ass here I should be painting.
Of course not all time is lost on the computer. I did make up a set a cards yesterday using my photographs and photoshop.
I found out yesterday my new bath fixtures are the same crummy color they are now, 70’s “bone”. It isn’t really bone more like a tan. Ugh. I thought he’d be smart and order white. I almost ordered white tile! I mean he gripes about stuck in the 70’s and then he keeps us there. But that is what I get when I said I have waited so damn long for him to do anything I don’t care!!! So I am a big dismayed over that but it is my own fault for not taking interest in it all. I’ll just have to figure out how to do up a bathroom in puke tan. Nothing goes with puke tan, I’ve tried already. Dammit.
Edit: I just asked husband about it. He calls it bone. He said what they ordered was bisque. So that is closer to the color I suppose. I still think it is puke tan. Try and explain to a guy who I don’t think sees color the same as I do the difference between white, bone, almond and bisque. Big difference! An assault to my eyes and senses! Tomorrow they come in so it will be interesting. He was wanting me to go buy a sink top but now has decided maybe I should wait to see what it actually looks like.
Tonight I’m going to go to church. It is so crappy outside again. 50 mph winds, rain, boot sucking mud. My tire needs to be filled daily so we can use the car. No one will change the darn thing until I do. I suppose I better make an appt. or I”ll be attempting to do mail route on it again. There goes my extra pay. Seems to always work that way. The second I have a little extra money something blows up. It is God’s way of keeping me humble I suppose.
