What time is it?

I honestly can't believe it's September already!  Clearly life has taken over my time - and I'm possibly the worst blogger, EVER!

The "highlights" of this year include;

January - I got my banner to start work on, because the design was going to be much more time consuming than in the past

March - Mom got a hip replacement surgery...so I'm always available if needed to help her or Louise.

May - June - Finally finished my banner, but was consumed by working on the banner booklet.  This year's involved contacting each individual artist and getting a bio from them.  However, the Banner Booklet is incredible!  Each artist has their own page - so the pictures of their banner (front and back) are so much bigger than before...AND their bio is included!  It looks great!
2012 Banner
July - I turned 41...and for by birthday I got a roommate.  I know him from 20+ years ago...and he's going through some really hard times...and because of past experiences, if you can help your fellow man, do it.  We're working through a lot...but he's slowly getting back on his feet.

August - September?  Kind of a convoluted mess.  I have art projects backed up...and that never feels good.  I'm working two jobs, as well...

So, that's it.  2012....so far!

Sad News - Unhappy feelings

On Tuesday, February 2nd, my dog was put to sleep. She meant a lot to me, and I don't think it was her time. I don't know who reads this blog, if anyone, so I'm going to vent here. If I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty emotional about it. Uta just turned 15 in October 2009, and she was old, yes...but was it her time? Absolutely not. This video was taken just about 45 minutes before she was taken to the vet. Sure she was old, but she still liked to go out and wander around, walking with the cat, smelling all the things, etc. Boots used to go with us on our walks....no matter how short or long they were. I wasn't allowed to go with Uta to the vet. I had to say goodbye to my dog (technically my Moms dog, but Uta and I knew better) before they left. Mom said "I can't deal with YOU AND Uta AND me in the room!" What a load. I felt like I had let Uta down by not being there to let her know I wasn't abandoning her. Mom and Louise ...

Birthday - huh?

I think it's my birthday today...but I haven't had a lot of mind-blowing experiences yet. It's still early though. The agenda for today is; put more minutes on my phone, in case someone calls to wish me happy birthday....deposit any birthday money in order to pay bills (one of these years I'm going to spend my birthday money on something IMpractical!!!)....go by courthouse to pay fine (stupid stupid mistake that I got a ticket for)......paint on the car a bit....take a nap....go to dinner with Mom....go to work. Awesome. I hope there's cake in there somewhere. :o) 38 years old...but I'm pretty sure my mind's still 28.

Well, it's been a while, huh?

Thought I'd forgotten about blogging (you two people who might actually be reading this)?! I didn't...I just have been really busy. I'm posting some photos of the banner project stuff - 2009, and 2011's banners - so that I can "update" my portfolio. After the art show, I DID sell some things, which was good...but that money's gone...and so is a bunch of other money to bills. I was hoping to be able to save for my trip to England next Spring, but when it goes out as fast as it comes in, well, makes it pretty darned difficult to fly anywhere. I DID turn 20-20 between the last blog and now. I'm glad I quit smoking over five years ago - because I don't think I'd be able to ride my bike anywhere, let alone be able to walk up the hills here in town. Anyway, just checking in...posting some pics...usual stuff. :o)
