Back at the keyboard again...

I have absolutely no self-discipline and I will admit it freely.  Staying on a schedule, following a planned anything, doing the same simple thing daily etc, etc, all elude me.   Grandma said it was because I was a free spirit which is just a nice way of saying you have no self-discipline.  God Bless Grandma.

It has been months since I have managed to update my blogs and I have no excuse really.  I have been bored, so I really could have.

I do think I know what part of my problem has been lately though...  I am an artist without a studio and no place to "create".  Art was a daily part of my life for years.  My oldest daughter and my two perfect grandchildren moved in with us in June.  She got the big room and we moved into my studio.  I packed everything up and stored it away.  I do believe I am going through and immense withdrawal.   And it sucks.

I want my "stuff" back and I want my studio back and I want to make a mess and cut and glue and paint and do all the wonderful things I did before.  I miss my stuff.

Okay, so I'm whining but at my advancing age (60 in January/11)  I don't do change well.   I didn't do change well when I was young.  I DON'T LIKE CHANGE AND I WANT MY STUFF BACK.

There, I've updated the blog, whined and now I will go and create a salad for the BBQ at noon.

Happy Day Everyone.

Ya Just Gotta Have Fun...

I have come to the time in my life when I would rather have fun stuff than practical...  funky rather than classic... weird and wild rather than familiar and sedate.  Gee...  I must be getting old.  LOL

If I was a teenager in this time and place I would have hot pink, white and black streaked hair and piercings and tattoos in all manner of places.  I would wear dog collars and bright funky clothes and high platform shoes and crazy socks.  ( well I do wear crazy socks now).   I would want to be eccentric and strange and extroverted and have a whale of a good time.  I'd like to shock and annoy and amaze and just be a free spirit in all directions.

Of course I have kids, grandkids, a husband and am 59 years young so I have tried to retrain myself all these years.  Do I have to continue to do that?????

I want to have fun... even doing simple things.   Like email.  I want fun email.  Not the plain white backgrounds and the tiny little emoticons.  I want big animated things that annoy the people I send email to.   So I got Incredimail.  I love it.   Not only is it fun, fun, fun but it automatically picked up every email address I have and added them to the accounts list.   It checks them all at one time and it does it with Pizzazz.

Now that I have fun mail I have to look for other ways to have fun with my computer...  other than just online gaming.
