    yuck yuck yuck

    today was pretty icky. My migraine was still hanging in there, but my nausea was off the charts and I almost went home after lunch. But I hung in there… got home and took a little nap. Then Chase took a face cast of me for my Ms Marvel mask, which actually felt really good on my headache LOL and…

    Obsolete jobs, netflix, etc

    This is a neat article about obsolete jobs, relinking from Ash. One of the things that stands out to me is that we had a milkman/milk delivery when I was a kid. The article says only 7% of homes had milk delivery by 1975. I think we stopped getting it around 86 or 87? It’s a weird little leftover sort…

    Jane updates, etc

    Just saw a boom mic go across the top of a screen in an old Friends episode. But that’s not what this post about, I just saw it so I typed it LOL Are dogs like people, when it comes to remembering things that made you sick once? What I mean by that relates to this story: When I was…

    So far today…

    I got up. Watched Discovery Health and finished a couple of new pics. Fixed lunch – Mac and cheese and watched the last episode of Models of the Runway (so glad whats-her-face went home!) Took a nap. Had weird dreams. Curled my hair. I don’t know why. Reorganized boxes in the prop room. I was able to unpack a few…

    Starting out on Jane, Tiana art

    I have been busy! Yesterday was crazy at work due to several mixups, then I got home to find Indy had thrown up everywhere. I spent an hour cleaning all that up. The only thing that really works is Oxi-clean, which has bleach in it, so while it cleans the puke up really well, it leaves the spot on the…

    Estate Sale pics

    Had a really fun day with Dad and @LindenAsh at the Estate sale. Basically the house was built around the Civil War, and has belonged to the same family up until a month ago when the last family member died. We got there around 11:30 and the line was stretched back out a ways. They were only letting around 60…

    today’s art, Ariel

    today’s princess is Ariel! I’m so close to being caught up and out of drawings… it sucks! I only have 2 more to post. I drew a lot last night, so over this weekend I’m hoping to get a little bit of padding in there. (doing this while trying to sew, too, I want to finish my skirt this weekend.)…

    The Lightning Thief

    As I posted before, last weekend we went to see The Lightning Thief. Ash loaned me her copy of the first book to read, and I finished it today. I would have ADORED this book as a kid. I would have totally been into it – probably would have been playing “Olympians” with my cousins after school and drawing Percy,…

    Seize the Clay

    Today was Cat’s birthday so we all went to Seize the Clay. It was a lot of fun. The highlight was Cat’s Stank-Eyed Cinderella. (After I took this pic she scraped one of the eyeballs off and redid them to be more even LOL)

    Testing, 1, 2, 3

    This is a test post. As you can see below, Blogger is getting rid of the kind of blog I use – so this is my new wordpress blog. It’s pretty bare bones at the moment, I’m still working on it.

    a random thought

    The nastiest “critique” I’ve ever gotten in regards to my artwork was this: “Real artists use a ruler, why can’t you?” It was in the middle of a very long, very unasked-for and very “holier-than-thou” critique, but that one line has been the part of it that stuck with me. The thing is, for that particular project? I actually HAD…

    Cleaning and Exploring

    Weekend was nice and laid back. New Year’s Eve I was off work. Chase had to go shoot the game. I stayed home, and I think got a little sick? Seemed like I was fighting off a cold or something. I laid on the couch most of the day and drew a little bit. New Year’s was lame, probably the…
