Howdy and Bye

This is a group photo although you can barely see
Spike, he is the white and black blob next to Max
on the chair. Mr. B is in the light :-).
Since I am in a sort of thinking mode, not so much
a writing mode I will just say hi and have a wonderful
rest of the week. I am taking the next couple days away
from the computer to think and paint and see some friends.
Take care and be kind.

Sad, but happy

This photo is my attempt to capture a sunset here
in New Mexico. We have the most wonderful sunsets
in the world, but you will have to go here to see them.
My friend Geraint takes the best sunset photos ever.
Of course he has a real camera with fancy lens' and stuff.
Do I sound jealous? Well, I am just a tiny bit, yes :-).
I am feeling a wee bit down these days. As detached as
I am from Mr. B it still makes me sad that things are not
going well. It is a lot him and a lot me and I think really
the main thing is that we are not in the same city. I also
have some issues and confusions as much as he does, but
I am more willing to take a risk and ignore my doubts than
he is. We are taking a little time away from each other and
I miss him, but it is probably for the best. Actually I feel
that everything that happens, no matter how it looks, or
feels is always for our best. I know that many would disagree
and even get angry at that thought, but is is just how I believe
and it gets me through a lot of crap :-). Makes me happier to
believe it than not. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Sick

I have no photo today. I am sick and I will spare
you the details as they are not pretty. Have a wonderful
day everyone and stay well. I will write more when I
feel better.

Detachment

Took this photo of Max yesterday, the little camera
does okay for close-ups. Isn't he a doll? He is also a
devil, but makes up for it by being a very funny, smart cat.
On my mind today is love. Things are not going too well
with Mr. B and even though I love him and he loves me,
sometimes love is proving to not be enough. It is hard to
work out things from so far away. Time will tell what will
finally come of our relationship. I am pretty detached and
that has come with getting older. I am very happy with
my life and while I would love to share it with another
person, it has to be the right person, or what is the use?
I do not settle anymore. I used to date men, just to date,
but no longer, it just is not worth it. It may still work out
for Mr. B and I, but I will have to wait to find out.
I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!

Random thoughts, again...

Do you see that tiny black speck on the sign?
It is a huge Raven, but you can't tell, because I
have a camera that is a point and shoot and after
using said camera for a month, I want the real thing,
you know a camera with lens' and stuff. A real camera.
However, those cost a lot of money and I can not buy
one for a while, so you will have to put up with my
photos of tiny ravens :-).
I had a great couple days cleaning and painting. It felt
good to work on my real work. The painting is still a
month or so from being done, but it is starting to look like
something now. I also watched movies. I am a movie addict.
I love a good movie and a good book more than men :-).
I watched "Eastern Promises" again. I had to because I am
in love with Viggo Mortensen. I mean this guy is a wonder.
He speaks a zillion languages, he paints, he is a photographer,
and a jazz musician and a horseman. Just to name a few things
I love about him and he is also beautiful. I have left Johnny Depp
and I now live with Viggo :-).
In other news I read something today that I want to share:
"There are no neutral thoughts". I have been thinking about it
all day. Your thoughts are either negative, or positive.
Think good thoughts people :-). Have a wonderful weekend.

Sweet

Look at this sweet face, it belongs to my dog Zeus.
I myself am not feeling very sweet at the moment.
I have been noticing something of late about all
(okay, not all, but most) of the men in my life.
Is it just me or do men seem to be ALL about them,
their issues, their problems, their angst? What about us women?
Do we not have issues, problems and angst? Do they
care? Non. Now I am not talking about sweet men like
Neil, who is in a bit of angst right now. I am talking about
in general has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me?
I love men I really do, but at this moment in time I think
I will just live with my four boys (pets) and leave the rest
of the men alone. I do have a few male friends who care,
but all in all I think I am done with men, at least for a
couple days :-).
I am taking a couple days away from the computer to
devote to painting and cleaning my house. Have a great
rest of the week. Love ya.

Boring

Not Mr. B, I am the one who is boring.
Mr. B is the cat who needs to gain weight.
It is too early to tell if he is gaining with his new food,
but he eats a lot and that has to count. Isn't he
pretty? And he is sweet too if you don't count
his yowling in the mornings to get me up :-). But
hey they all yowl to get me up. Who needs an alarm
when you have three cats and one dog? Not me.
I have precious little to say as you can tell, but
I feel I must post if I can even if I have absolutely
nothing of interest to tell you, :-), sorry. I am
just so boring right now, work, paint, work, paint,
run, work, paint, read, work, paint. You get the idea.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone. Love you.
