Ccrraazziiness!!!

Ok so I started to clean up my art room got distracted by the mess and not knowing where to start thought I would take some pictures of the room to get the flow going. I decided to post the pictures so I would have before and after pictures and came to download them and got distracted because I wanted chocolate cream cheese brownies. So.. I thought I would go start that and saw how desperately my cabinet needed cleaning, pulled everything out and decided to come back over here and get this finished...aaarrrrggghhh. Then started playing around with some pictures I took this morning of the dogs to maybe start doing pet portraits as part time $$.
Well....here's one of Renny and another

Renny again...

Elsie

My super messy art room

It is driving me crazy

The dogs fight over the sunny spot

My desktop that I can not find.

At least I got this posted. All the while Chuck has weedeated, edged, cut and

blown the yard and I know he will come in and see the mess on the counter and

ask what am I doing - looking at me sitting at the desk - on the computer - in his eyes

wasting time and I will say simply, "everything - ALL AT ONCE - aren't I talented?!!"

better answer, "yes" back at me.

Easter egg

At Easter every year I used to decorate eggs.

I would try to come up with something different

each year but I kind of stopped. This year

I got into the mood to try so here it is my

egg for the year. It was fun!

Leu Gardens

I went to Leu Gardens with Tricia today.

I enjoyed it very much. I've lived here how

long and never been there.
Tricia taught me how to spit to get the fish to go crazy.

Spring Break

Yay! The first day of spring break and I wake up at 4:45 my usual

work day time to get up! I tried to go back to sleep but no luck.

Last night was Corey's house warming. It was nice. I got to see people I hadn't seen in a very long time Katie and Paul, Leah, Jessica and her husband, Chris' family, Megan and Matthew. I wish I'd taken a picture of Matthew and Megan but I was ready to go home shortly after they arrived. It was a good start to my spring break!

Chuck and his mom.

Jenn, Corey, and Jessica Chris' dad and my dad

Valerie (Chris' sister) and Chris. What is he doing to my dog??

Chris' mom, Stuart (my brother) and my mom.

Hey baby!

Dad and Renny

Renny the little party dog.

missed you Jesse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter Gardians

Yesterday Chuck and I were off so we went to see Corey

and Christopher's new townhome. Chuck had seen

it before, empty, because he did an inspection for them.

The pictures are backwards..we went to their

place first and then to downtown Winter Garden.

I did not know WG had a downtown area like this.

It sort of reminded me of College Park.

The building Chuck wants to buy, live upstairs and

have an art studio/coffee shop downstairs.

Corey and Chris' livingroom

They surprised us with the fact they have another

cat. I forget his name but the poor thing lived in

a cage for the 1st two years of his life used strictly for

breeding. Corey gave him a lion cut. He's got weird eyes

and rabbit's feet but

he's an extremely sweet cat.

The guest bedroom/cat room.

The backyard.

See his tail? Isn't that so funny?

My son-n-law gives me nice gifts.

work

One of the advantages (though some would not call it that)

to my job is getting to see the sunrise every morning. There's been a lot of crap, yes crap, going on at work

lately. During the worst of it, I found this on my hood one

morning. I haven't found out yet if it was a joke, a threat, or

some sort of statement. I would like to know...

happy birthday Chuck!

art festival

Yesterday we went to the Winter Park Art Festival. I meant to get up and go earlier but ended up getting there around 10:30. I never go on Saturday - I hate crowds but it was the only day I could go this year. I was actually surprised when we got there not too bad and the weather was perfect. I am not one who goes to every booth, sorry to the artists. I look 'till I feel full of ideas and then I'm done.

There were a lot of things I liked this year. My favorite photographer was there, Gary Seidel. We actually bought two of his photographs at other shows. We like him because he uses film and does it the old school way. I wanted to buy another this time and wish I had but oh well.

I noticed a lot of affordable art which usually is not the case at this show - I mean affordable to me. I'm bad about counting how many hours I work to pay for something. Maybe that's good maybe that's bad?

The regret of yesterday - I didn't take any pictures. What's up with that? I always take pictures but just didn't feel like it.

Wish I had lots of money so I could go back and buy lots of art and especially one of the birds Tricia collects. Some day maybe!

I may not take pictures but almost always post them. Jesse and Millie and the flowers she brought me.

this is freaky
