I am feeling so uninspired…

I tried, really I did.

Today I tried to keep my eyes open for some thing, anything.

Just nothing tickles my fancy.

What do you guys do to get back that…

inspired feeling?

Wow! The things you can do when you close the computer.

I got one panel finished, polished and painted and ready to sell and another all cut out and foiled. I can’t remember the last time I cut, ground and foiled a complete panel in one day…

And I didn’t have to stay away from my computer all day, I got to check it on breaks and at lunch, not to bad.  Tomorrow, well today, is my day of freedom! Cooper goes to the daycare and I am off to the glass shop!

I might even get to get my camera out and take pictures! I am so jonesin for something to shoot! It has been a couple of weeks and I just haven’t felt inspired, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Good night! Sleep well.

Been sick all weekend. My solorplexis hurts from coughing so much. I hate being sick. This time it just doesn’t seem to be going away! So frustrating.

I am feeling better today then I have all weekend though and I’m trying to get some glass done. It’s the busy season, there are two seasons at the glass company. The summer June-August for the tourist trade and then the holiday season Oct-Dec for the color tours and the Christmas shoppers. I will be using Jan-Jun this year to build up some stock, but I need to sell some things NOW!! So when I’m not in bed whining about being sick I will be at my work bench trying to get somethings’ done!

I know I’m not the only one who is busy now, it’s just that time of year. I think we will all have January to catch up with each other.

Let’s see while I work I think. I know,  BIG shock there! 

Things I’ve been thinking about.

• Being all I can be
• painting the upstairs, Kermit green has got to go…
• cosine? The hypotenuse over the… ?
• Ben… think about him a lot… Won’t share those thoughts. ;-b
• You guys… seems I have a lot of friends on xanga who are sick at the moment.
• The River-by Garth Brookes

Alright… I’m off to get back to work…

If you guys have anything in particular you think I should be thinking of leave it in the comment box and I’ll get back to you!

My friend Travis always knew he was going to be a musician. I don’t think for him it was so much a dream as a definite goal. I remember watching him through marching band and orchestra, band trips and party bands. After we graduated he played with a local band called The Dopes for a long time. I was once dragged to a performance by a girl that I worked with because she found out I knew him and she was an “E” groupie… E being Trav… After the show I introduced them and she took it from there. Hey I just made the hellos happen, anything else was on her head.

Trav has been playing with a different band these days The DeadString Brothers, when they aren’t touring Europe they are based in Detroit.

Travis is the drummer. I’m digging the pink tux shirt, he always did have style, what kind of style I’m not sure.

SO here’s to living the dream!

What’s up with the mean comments today? I have gotten two, one that was four paragraphs long of babble from someone I have never seen before making very personal statements. I don’t get it. It doesn’t really bother me, at this point I am too sick to really care I suppose. I just wonder what these people are thinking? I mean, don’t they have a life?  They have NOTHING better to do? What is there to gain from going to some random strangers site and spewing venomous filth? Does anyone know?

Really it doesn’t bother me, Xanga has made it very easy to push the block button and say adios to idiots…. What about you guys? Does it bother you? OR  Have you ever left a mean comment for some random person? Not only here, but maybe in real life?

I think it bothers me more when I see mean comments on other peoples sites, because I hate it when people are mean to my friends and people I care about.

Posts about people’s dreams.

Their’s and other’s.

^^ I own a piece of her dream… I love it!

When I was younger my dreams were to be an artist and make a living at selling my art, to have kids and a home of my own.

I didn’t really think about the fact that you needed a man to have kids… I just knew I wanted them. Luckily the man of my dreams that I didn’t know was the man of my dreams was right under my nose all along and eventually I was smart enough to see him.

(For those of you who don’t know, Ben and I went to school together from kindergarten on and had always been friends.)

Where was I… DREAMS… SO I have a wonderful family… in addition to the wonderful family that I already had, that part of the dream just keeps getting better.

I have a cozy little house, that is often in chaos but someday I’m sure it will be everything I want it to be, and I am starting to make money from my art. I also want to travel the world. There is no doubt in my mind that some day I will.

I am living my dreams… well some of them. It made me wonder how many of YOU are living yours? 

 I wonder if Ben is living his?  I know we shared the dream of a family and home… and now his first academic paper is being published! I am SO proud of him! SO I am going with yes, kind of…

 My POP has dreams of being a charter boat captain. He often hems and haws about how impractical it is and how much it costs. I am hoping for his sake that sometime in the near future he won’t let that stop him and he will DO IT!

The thing about dreams is they usually don’t stand up under the practical microscope. You know what? WHO CARES!!!

If you look for it, if you want it enough, it will happen.

SO What are your dreams? And more importantly what are you going to do to achieve them?

No pressure or anything.

SICK… SICK… ICKY… BLAH.

Today was the first day she came home and didn’t put on the cat suit…

Looking for new card pictures,

in the process I get to review the summer.

It was a great summer!
Lots of festivals, nature walks, and the beach almost everyday.

Isabelle went on a ferris wheel with me this summer.

She knew I wanted to take pictures.

Every time the bucket moved,

you could see how uncomfortable she was

and a little afraid.

She did it for me!
I felt SO LOVED.

Yup, it was a great summer.

I am going to do my best to make it a great winter.

Sledding and snowshoeing are on the list.

Lots of hot chocolate and warm hugs.

What are some of your favorite winter activities?
