EARTHQUAKE!!!!

I am sure i didn't enjoy that and I am sure i wouldn't enjoy that again! But on the up side i'm at work and had to share the experience with my coworkers - so it wasn't as scary as say my roommate who was home alone and thought the metal staircase on the back of the house had fallen off.

He said he glanced around my craft rooms upstairs but didn't see anything wrong - i'll have to double check when i get home.

It wasn't to bad at first - because the building was only shaking like a really heavy truck was rolling by (we're all used to that). It was when the entire building decided that it was tired of standing up straight and acted like it wanted to fall down that we all realized something wasn't quite right.

But all seems to be quite now.....

Hopefully the hurricane won't be so bad.

another sleepless night

here we are, another morning finding myself not being able to fall asleep. Do you ever feel like you're out of sync with life? or is it just that i'm out of sync with what the majority believe we should be like - go to bed everynight by 9 or 10p get up by 5a so we can start another work day or a too short weekend?

had a strange but good weekend.

take this evening - was able to spend some time with mommie (Shirley, for those who don't know who mommie is). we went and wandered around a.c.moore (craft store) talked while we shopped - nothing major just got to spend time together.

well, i'm going to lay down and pretend i'm sleepy - and maybe if i'm lucky, i'll actually fall asleep check ya'll later.

Okay - just alittle freaked out

was just checking my yahoo emails and i just found out more people read stuff i send them than i thought.

thank you all for your encouragement and thoughts that you might peek in from time to time.

just when i'm feeling truly insignifigant in the grand scheme of things people like to show you just how much your remembered and thought of.

play with the fishes while you're here

move your cursor around the screen - the fish will follow it, but even more cool roll your cursor over the 'pond' and click the button - you'll leave black 'food' dots in the 'pond'. Did you see the 'blue' fish?

Its almost midnight - again

and here we are (again) awake, with no hope of sleep in the near or possibly far future. So what shall we do with ourselves - write on our blog, piddle around on the internet....

okay have to share - have found a new (well new to me) art? craft? meditation? thing - its called Zentangle. Let's see Zentangle is the process of creating great works of art thru controlled doodleing.

I combined my new find with an older new find called Artist Trading Cards (atc) tonight. I created the above piece of artwork on an atc chalkboard paper. Yes, you may see what could be viewed as flaws - but that's one of the beauty things about Zentangle - flaws are allowed. There's this whole philosophy behind it. Check out the link and you'll see. Toooooooootles!!!!

Okay - I have a question....

Does it count as breaking a nail when you pop-off one of your artificial nails?

Drivers - Specifically drivers with New cars

I HATE drivers with NEW cars!!!! If you couldn't afford to buy and drive the d*#n car - then you shouldn't have!!!! I hate having to wait for someone with a new car to have 2 miles of free road before they will get out on it and drive!!!!!

Gotta Start Somewhere, Right?

This (like so many things i do) is something i've wanted to do and just never took the time - but as my philosophy for the year goes "just do it" (i know, not original but still is true about most things we do).

What i have to say may not always be interesting - and may sometimes just be me venting to the universe about anything (for instance, the idiot driver this morning i almost rearended because they couldn't believe the vehicle in front of them decided to make a left turn at the last minute).

You may find wisdom or not. You may find truth or not. You might agree or not. But this isn't for any of that i just want a place where i can share whatever i feel like.

For instance most of you may not realize (or care) but i like paperdolls - not to actually play with - but i enjoy cutting them out and finding ways to display them. My latest find is from a site called www.joechip.net/liana and as far as i'm concerned Liana is an extremely talented artist. One of the things i enjoy most about her work is that all the outfits actually fit the dolls perfectly - not even published paperdoll books do that right 100%. But anyway, her creations are done with my favorite colored pencils (prismacolor), they blend wonderfully and the color range they create is fabulous to say the least.

Well, i'm going to pop away for right now and check out the rest of what i can do with my blog site and will continue later....Tooooooootles!
