    MommaK tagged me on her collection of meme’s, so here I go.

    The 7 things meme

    7 things I plan to do before I die:
    1. Live in a warmer climate.
    2. Invent something cool that everyone has to have.
    3. Wish upon my kids that they have kids that are just like them, and watch it happen.
    4. Feel wierd, bitch and moan a whole bunch about my spine fusing together.
    5. Sit in an Art Museum with my bestest buddy Paige on a bench across from my artwork and giggle and laugh about “remember when’s”.
    6. Pay off and cut up all of our credit cards.
    7. Be able to fully support my family on income from my artwork.

    7 things I can do:
    1. Paint :duh:
    2. Talk really fast
    3. Put my watch on with ONE HAND. (I’m magical.)
    4. Dishes. When I feel like it.
    5. Flare my nostrils like a bunny.
    6. Shake my head and raise my eyebrows at the same time.
    7. Build stuff really fast. (The stuff that comes in pieces that you have to put together.)

    7 things I cannot do:

    This is my new buddy, a Gibbon. I met him at the zoo of course, you can sorta see my reflection in the plexiglass. He followed me around the ledge, and put his face up by my fingers when I touched the glass. I sat by him for a few minutes, right up next to him. He’s beautiful, and for the short time I was with him I wanted really badly to be a zookeeper, or Jane Goodall.

    Dewdrop Daisy WIP #4

    2005

    I’ve been painting a good chunk of the day today and my hand is about ready to fall off. I started working on this peice a few months ago, and in all honesty it scares the he** out of me. Dang dewdrops. I’ll get to those. (Sorry it’s so grainy, I just realized I had too high of a compression setting!)

    Anyhoo, here’s the last work in progress shot of this painting (it’s a biggun’ at 18″ x 18″), and with that I am going to go put my hand in a bucket-o-ice.

    Have a good weekend!

    This fun little girlie-girl sitting atop Twenty-Nothing’s brand new design is my latest completed project, and between Lisa’s brain-full-o-code and my illustrating endeavors, I think it all turned out pretty dang cool! Go on over and say “hey” to Debbie, and let her know how you like her new look.

    13 Super Sweet Morsels about Leanne
    My other Thirteens

    1. I’ve been working on a custom blog illustration for the last 2 days solid. I even got up at 4 am this morning because the status of it bothered me so much. I completely repainted my project and spent almost 4 hours on it. ::yawn…stretch::

    2. Because I was up at 4 am and it’s now 11 am, I’m on my second pot of coffee. Yes, I said POT. Good grief. As my sister Tommi is my witness, when I start talking after the last cup of the first pot? You wish you had a tape recorder to play me talking in slow-motion. Or a fast-forward button on your ears to actually comprehend what I’m saying at lightening speeds.

    3. If you’ll repeat #2 in 3 seconds, you’ll know what I sound like with this much coffee in my system.

    4. I’m using the word coffee instead of caffine because I’m really not sure if caffine is spelled caffene or caffeine or what. I give up, and I don’t feel like checking. So coffee it is. Ask me if I can spell something easier, like vaccume! hah!

    5. I really do know how to spell vacuum. Oh GOOD LORD no I didn’t. Thank you, m-w.com.

    6. I am totally playing with my Thirteen today. As if you couldn’t tell.

    7. It was 66 degrees in our house at 4 am. at 8 am it was 64! How the hell did that happen and WHEN are we moving to a WARMER CLIMATE!?

    8. My auction is giving me heart palpitations. I get all giddy when I have auctions running, it’s so exciting! So just in case I fall over dead on October 5th at 7:45:03 PDT, you’ll know why.

    9. I have SO MUCH TO DO. I have 3 of those 4×4 paintings to complete among other things, so I’m going to disappear again until they’re done. Must. Finish. To-do. List.

    10. So, it seems this listy thing is catching on, and I’m really excited about that, and one more little thing just to clarify the purpose of this program, it’s for fun! You link me, I link you, it’s a nice big happy linkfest and we get to know eachother a little better in the process. You see links on mine? Go meet someone new! Leave your link with them, and on and on and on, get it? Cool beans. Or bananas, whichever you prefer.

    11. I am visualizing my living room with a whole new color on the walls. Oh no. I think I’m going to be painting it again soon! Me thinks it has more to do with “RESALE VALUE” than actually wanting to paint floor to ceiling again. Ugh.

    12. I just went outside to get my Chickeymonkey off of the bus, and saw something very Wisteria Lane’ish. My neighbors to the right and left both have white vans parked in their driveways. I’m wondering if I should find out who they called and get one of those vans, too?

    13. It’s been one helluva long week so far for me, how about you?
