Life, Love, and Critters – of course!
So, how do I look?
Lil’ miss Becca over at EW has been working her fingers to the bone for me on this new design that integrates my gallery into my blog.
Do you likey? How does it load for you? Comments, complaints or suggestions are welcome!
Clear your TIF’s (cache, whatever), and have a look around. Help yourself to a new smiley in the comments section, too!
Thanks, Becca!! :friends:
I’m here. I am.
I’ve been quiet ’cause I want to show you something really cool. I’ve been working, too. And bike-riding with the kiddos. It’s been a crazy weekend, actually, and I’m looking forward to my swim tomorrow morning.
You hafta wait though for the other stuff, just one more day.
I think you’ll like it.
MommaK over at Petroville thinks she’s a bad mom. I beg to differ. I’ll share my story to make her feel better, and to prove to you all that I’m not perfect. Once and for all.
Here’s how my story goes:
We (me, with my girls in the back seat) were on our way home from McD’s, because I do so enjoy their yummy nutritious food. Our McD’s is located on a frontage road near an intersection where there is a wreck every. single. day. I am terrified of that intersection.
So. We’re sitting at the frontage road to turn left into traffic, about 75 feet from the cursed intersection. A Ford Explorer with tinted windows pulls up beside me on my right, and of course now I must wait until he goes before I can edge out any further.
I’m a cussing driver, I’m always talking to other drivers. Of course I say “Move your dam^ truck, I can’t see through it you dumba$$!”
My Chickeymonkey, at three years old, from her carseat in the back, says “Who’s the dumba$$, mom?” In her littlest and most curious voice.
Granted I wasn’t in front of a bunch of people, but still, just as embarrassing. I think.
😛
1. Do you consider yourself an “Art Connoisseur” or an “Appreciator”? (How often do you think about artwork as more than just something pretty and/or interesting?)
2. Where do you find you purchase the things that hang on your walls most? (Target, eBay, Galleries, direct from the Artist?)
3. Is there a difference to you between the following words: painting/picture; print/original?
4. What process do you think of when you see or hear the term “painting” as it relates to art?
You guys are really giving me a lot to think about, thank you!!
Thank you so much for your answers to yesterday’s three questions, I have three more questions for you today!
1. What kind of art usually touches you? (Subject & style)
2. What medium are you drawn to? (Oil, pencil, ink, acrylic, soft pastel, etc.?)
3. Do you prefer large, medium or small paintings?
1. Do you own an original painting/piece of artwork?
2. Would you purchase (another) one?
3. How much is too much for such a purchase?
I have more questions, they will be based on your replies!
I’ve been blogging for a couple of years now, and have never done any kind of formal introduction-y type post. So I thought to myself, “self? how rude are you not to ask about the guests who so kindly read your blog?” And I replied to myself “well, very, apparently, so I shall fix that!”
Now it’s your turn. Please, tell me about you! Do I know you (yet)? How did you find me? Do I make you giggle? What is the single most important thing about you that I should know? Are you afraid of heights? Spiders? Does giggling irritate your OCD? Please, share!

My other Thirteens 1. I’m up to 7 laps (almost 1/4 mile) a day at the Y. 2. I forgot what day it is, and I actually thanked Microsoft outloud for their “hover your mouse down in the bottom corner right over the time so you know what day it is, dumbass” feature. 3. I’m starting to wonder if I have Adult ADD. My scatterbrain of late has been making me relatively insane. 4. I hate PMS. And when I have PMS, I hate everything else, too. 5. My garbage man will take anything I put out at the curb, but won’t pick up my neighbors’ stuff. I attribute this to my mild flirtations last summer when I demolished two rooms and had bags upon bags of constructiony type garbage that I pretty-please bribed him to take for me. 6. I just figured out that I’m allergic to those new fabric softener sheets with febreze in them. Don’t buy those! I am covered in blistery little things and thought for sure I had a rare incurable disease and would die in less than 24 hours. 7. I may have hypochondriasis. I’ll get back to you on that. 8. My little doodle for Mir over at Woulda Coulda Shoulda is now for sale. I think you should buy yourself a new coffee mug! Yeah! Go on! Buy some stuff! 9. I’m working on 2 more illustrations, one of them is almost finished, I think. I’ll be wacoming my fingers to the bone for the next 24 hours! 10. Yes, it’s true, I’ve wondered off and on over the last few days how it is that the top layer of our wedding cake (which had been stored in the freezer in the garage that we just sold) has outlasted a couple of what I thought were good friendships. 11. I keep staring at my Raindrop Daisy. I have to get back to my easel after these illustrations are done. And I’m wondering if people forgot that I paint? 12. I had a horrible allergy attack lastnight during Cocoa’s bath. Cleaning her cage wasn’t fun either. What a pig! (get it? Pig? hahah) 13. My good friend Erikie has been painting these little Art Cards called ACEO and I’m so proud of her for painting one a day! You need to go bid on one, or two or three. Okay? She’s loving it and I would love to see these take off for her, she is so passionate about her art. Go look! Here’s her blog, and here are her auctions! Links to other Thursday Thirteens!
