Blog time

I am realizing that although establishing a blog was a challenge, finding the time to write on it is even more so. I naively envisioned writing as a relaxing way to end my day. I thought I would blissfully recount my day before fading off into la la land. Small detail....the order that you apply this plan is crucial. On two separate occasions I accidentally enacted the la la land part before the blogging part. (makes for a very very boring blog and funny keypad imprints on your face)

My second plan was to schedule time in the middle of my day. I thought it would be a nice break from working. I could refocus, drink a cup of coffee...well, obviously that didn't work either. I may be slow getting going but once the fur is a flyin,I don't want to quit. Which explains some really awful dinners that I have thrown together at the last possible minute usually involving leftovers, corn and cheese.

So I decided I would try mornings. I have never been known as morning person. In fact I'm sure there are many other things I have been called in the morning. I don't talk much let alone type so I thought it would be a long shot. More plausible than all those many workout plans I made for the morning time but not much. But since my son is at college and my daughter is a senior and drives herself to school, and apparently doesn't want my help fixing her hair anymore, I have some time after I kiss the hubby goodbye. So this morning bright eyed and bushy tailed (not really but lets pretend) I headed to my office to blog. Unfortunately, on the way I had this compelling urge to clean out my purse, get the gunk out of the prongs of my wedding ring and realphabetize my Cd's. But now with those urgent tasks completed here I am. .... On to the art part.

We went to Edmonds last night for the third Thursday art walk and as usual had a wonderful time. My husband took the sounder train from work and I met him at the train station and we headed off to Arnies's for dinner (utilizing their early dinner special of course) and then headed up main street. The next few hours flew by as we meandered in and out of the participating retailers, chatting with the featured artists, enjoying the array of different types of art on display from en caustic to watercolors to sculpture, and shopping a bit too. The weather was chilly but beautiful and it made me a bit giddy to think that spring was on its way. I think many people were in this mood as the streets were filled with art walkers excitedly following the rainbow windsocks to the next art filled venue. I love these events. I am always inspired by something; a new technique or color combination and leave anxious to get in my studio and create. Now if I could only find some outing that would make me want to run home and do laundry....oh well. A little febreeze should do the trick! (Just kidding mom).

Off to the studio...woo hoo.
