    My goodness I’m feeling kinda famous today. A few of my favoritest bloggers have really sweet things to say about me, my hubby comin’ home and my work. If you like reading blogs, go stop over & say hi!!

    First we have Tony, a great and super-smart Christian blogger over at I Am Always Right. He’s been watching the countdown and has been prayerfully supporting our family in Mark’s absence. (P.S. Tony? That post number is freakin’ me out! Eek!)

    Then we have Lisa, who’s Just A Girl. I’m painting Thor & Oz (the macaws) for her and her man. She doesn’t live too far from us, so she’s going to pick up her painting and we’re going to go out to dinner and chat it up for a bit! That will be my first and last night out “kidless” in over a year! I can’t wait! Obviously, if you read the comments section of that entry, we had some girlie giggles. You’ve been warned; if you blush easily, don’t read the comments. 😛

    Last but not least is Luke & Ella’s Aunt Beth, she’s got this whole Vast Right Wing Conspiracy thing going on, really pretty smart for an Alabammy chick. 😉 She really enjoys bloggin’ so stop in, she’s always thinkin’ over there, and very generously linkin’ me and other bloggy-finds like a madwoman, I am so flattered to be among them!

    Fry-Eye-Day (late)

    Lolo had her eye up Friday for all to see, so I’m partaking (late) in the Fry-eye-day eye sharing. Granted, I’ve had just a few hours of sleep, and I rarely wear makeup, I’m going to hide my eye so I don’t freak the he** out of everyone who opens my blog. Lolo’s eye color is a lot like mine. I notice my speckles change with my mood, sometimes they’re more gold, sometimes more green, and sometimes (like I told Lo), just schmidt brown. (Guess what kind of mood that is for me?)

    I’ll do this again when my new camera arrives, and I’ll get some sleep and color them purdyful, too!

    He’s arrived on base, where he will spend the next 5 days going through “detox” as I like to call it. Right now, he’s probably kicking back with a brewsky unwinding with the boys, and hopefully he calls me later ’cause he’s a funny drunk. hehe!

    Me, well, I’ve got W&N oils oozing out of my pores and I’ll be painting all day today! I’ll finish up Kayda and get the underpainting going on Riley, and hopefully re-sketch the Macaws so I can get their background done as well.

    Going to go turn the cam on!

    Just got a call from The Man, he’ll be stateside TONIGHT!

    WAHOO!

    Update on Caitibug: Blepharitis. Ever heard of it? “An inflammation of the eyelids, usually caused by an excess growth of bacteria that is ordinarily found on the skin, and occasionally caused by allergies.” Iewww! She’s on antibiotic eyedrops and oral antibiotics for a week now. The clinic was jam packed, so I’m sure I’ll start coming down with something in the next day or so. Why not? Daddy’s coming home, so we must all be unhealthy for his arrival! That’s the way to do things at my house! Bah! 😛

    Ouchie!

    Miss Caitibug had a little swollen eyelid lastnight so we had hot compresses on it until she fell asleep. This morning she got up and her eye was swollen completely closed. Ouchie! I think it’s a sty, obviously she needs medicated cream ’cause the hot compress isn’t helping.

    Makes your eyes water just looking at it doesn’t it? My left eye is having empathy pains.

    I’ll be finishing up both Kayda and Dixie today, I’ll update my Studio Cam status when I do. I’ll be busy this morning taking care of an 8 year old eyeball.
