Ok, buddies, I do so want to write about my work, but will not. So there.
This morning on the way to work, nearly broke into tears. Heard a song I haven’t heard for yonks. You all know it. If you say you have never heard it, I won’t believe you. Here….
You know…. I never thought of him as a handsome young man back then. The most important thing about him was his music — and the TJB, of course.
oh dearie deary dum deary dee. Today, young Herb is 74 years old. 2009 brought the release of a new album from Herb and his wife, Lani Hall, who has endured the years with him since 1974.
Getting very tired of traffic in this very large town. Wanted to do some last minute shopping before the trip. So many cars, I could hardly stand driving home. Stopped at Eagle BBQ on Folsom Boulevard and got a baked potato filled with all kinds of stuff — or is it stuffed with all kinds of filling. Either way, at $1.99 plus tax you can live on the things. And as I have cleaned my kitchen, and vowed not to cook anything until after the trip, it means getting creative at being cheap and cheerful for dinner. I did try eating lunch at work today. Mistake.
Time for me to have my evening rest prior to the attack on the living room which contains folded clothing from the last time I did laundry (now the living room is my boudoir annex) as well as my new raincoat. Determined to get a jacket this week or weekend. Have two pair of thin cotton socks – one black pair and one that consists of one white sock and one beige sock. So I guess I have one pair of socks that match. Eh?
Postcards for the show came yesterday. Sent most of them to Washington this afternoon with a pile of stamps. Thank you Vista Print! The business cards are great, too. I will take those with me when I go. Toyed with the idea for the last month or so, of sending my fabric art and my supplies for my Centrum project by UPS or FedEx or some such. Decided last night that I would use my large suitcase for the fabric stuff and the small one for the supplies and a few changes of undies. Well, maybe I’ll throw in a couple of changes of clothing, too.
Feel much better that I have made that decision. Like knowing that my stuff is on the same plane with me. Working on a simple portfolio to take, also. It’s rather fun, actually. Making comments for others to read while looking at the work in the book or in person. Still need to put labels on a few of the pieces. Just in case someone wants to purchase one!
Anxious to get started on the project, for the next one is already in my brain. This one for up north will be white with red accents. The next will be mostly browns and greys with turquoise pieces on it.
I’m finding this all very exciting. You can tell my life here can get humdrum without being boring. My mother said that she never wanted to hear us say that we were bored. By golly, I really never have said it, from the workplace to my home. There’s always something to do.
Later……..
