Living Out Loud!


Here are two girls who used to know how to really "Live Out Loud"! Somehow life gets in the way of really living. We don't spend enough time with the people we love, doing the things we really love to do. I want to work harder at living my life instead of my life living me....


I am so thankful its Friday! I am starting to feel that way every Friday...that can't possibly be good. I am loving my painting class at the Museum with Connie, she is such a generous spirit. I am feeling very blessed that our paths crossed. I am currently painting on seven different canvas pieces of various sizes. Mostly exploring the medium of oil paint itself. I am getting over the obstacle of the drying time, hard for me to believe! The trick for me is to have more than one or two pieces going at a time. Down side to that, I am daydreaming about painting when I am not painting.



All of my "official transcripts' have finally shown up in the mail, so I can move on to finishing up that resume of mine. I just hate having unfinished projects that fall into "being a grownup" category of things to do. However, it must be done, so I will press forward on that project.



Hoping to attend an auction in the morning, weather permitting; maybe even if weather doesn't permit. I find that if the weather is not so good, stuff goes for less (always good). Went to a fabulous consignment shop yesterday in Newburgh, Indiana. It was spectacular! Everything was color as well as size and season coordinated. It didn't smell bad, and the proprietress was absolutely charming. I will be going back just as soon as I take a bit of an inventory of my own!



Thanks to my friend Celeste B for the fab lunch and much needed girlfriend time. Too bad we forgot to pick out the paint for her kitchen cabinets!! Oh well, guess another girlfriend day is in store.

Oh I know what you mean about life leading us instead of the other way around! I'm so happy to hear your enjoying your painting class and yes, it's the one thing I just couldn't live with... the drying time.

I'll send you a message about the web design assistance things and hope you're having a wonderful day!
