9 things

that made me happy today.
1.I got to sleep in and slept until 8:30(I usually get up at 6).
2.My best friend J.
3.Getting answers to questions I have been asking.
4.My wonderful, fluffy animal kids.
5.Discussing life with my mom, sometimes we don't see eye to eye, but we still love each other, so that makes it okay.
6.A yummy mug of hot cocoa.
7.Working on a drawing.
8.The color blue. You know that wonderful sea mist, robin's egg blue. I am soon going to paint my bedroom that color.
9.Being free to do whatever I please :-).
What made you happy today?

Spring

That is Taos mountain in the distance. This photo was taken out where I run, but the snow has melted this week and it is pretending to be Spring, but you can't fool me. I know we can still get snow here even in April. :-).

Art Love

Photo of a drawing I finished this morning.

Today I am in an art frenzy. I don't care about much except art right now. Making it-You name it, painting, drawing, collage, clay. I am reading about art too, Art in America and a wonderful book by Norman Mailer called "Portrait of Picasso as a Young Man". Watching DVD's about art, a series called "Art in the 21st Century", very inspiring. So, for me right now, it is art, art, and more art. On that note I would love to know your favorite painters, living and dead. Please share.
Happy Sunday.

Writer's block

Photo of me taking a picture of Taos mountain.

No idea what to write about. What do you all do when that happens? Do you struggle to write something or forget about it? Hopefully this dry spell won't last long, but if it does I will just keep posting photos :-). Happy Friday. XOXO

Yes!

What I said yes to this week, so far:Taking a dance class. I have not actually signed up for it yet, but I will. I will because I am very afraid of it and I will be BRAVE and do it as my blog friend Eliezer recommended it and it sounds wonderful even if I don't dance and even if I hate group activities :-). I am shy when it comes to dancing. I will work up to doing this class though and then I will probably love it :-). I said yes, to finishing my book. I finally picked it up and started. It is slow going, but I would really love to get it done. One baby step at a time. It is hard because I have limited time and I have so many art projects calling me. I actually should be working on it now instead of writing on the blog, but it can't be all work and no play and I hate that word should :-). Okay, that is only two things I said yes to, but the week is only half way through, so there will probably be more :-).
In other news...I hate to bore you with this, but I had a weird dream last night: I dreamed I moved into a dumpy trailer with Robert Downey Jr. I love him and dream of him often
(Robert, and Johnny Depp are always making guest appearances in my dreams :-), but what can it mean??? I don't do well with dream interpretation unless it is something really obvious.
Okay, I have wasted enough of your time. Hope you are all well and happy. XOXO
P.S. Tell me what you said yes to this week.

Some Taos Beauty

You know how sometimes you just don't have anything to say?

Well, that is me today, so I will share a couple recent photos and

leave it at that. First photo, a scene at sunset and then a Taos mountain photo right after is snowed.

You could tell me what you did today, though, that would be fun.

XOXO

Happy Valentine's Day!

Have a wonderful day everyone.

I spent yesterday making yummy cupcakes for my posse, three lovely men who are coming for dinner tonight. My best buddies. I have to ask, where is everyone? I am about to whine about the lack of comments, I miss you. I love you all anyway

and wish for you a day full of joy :-). XOXO
