Oops... Happy Valentines Day

Love day - by Lina Lou on Polyvore.com

An unhappy Ode

So I'm not really here to tell you how to do your job,
but I do have a few very reasonable and realistic expectations...
Is it really too much to ask for a little extended overtime on the job?
I would really like to capture life's irreplaceable moments,
like this weekend at my art class. It's a one time deal, man...
it's not like we can order up a "do-over"...
but no, somebody has to get all moody and refuse to offer any assistance in the way of power... yes power, that's your job isn't it?
And don't go and get all technical with your "I gave you a warning" speech. I get a few red flashing lights and then... nothing, the silent treatment.
I thought we had a better relationship than that. Apparently I was mistaken. You quit, so this is it... we're done... I've moved on and I'm replacing you with someone more reliable. The red head, or as you know him...
The Copper Top Battery

Battery, oh battery how I hate thee battery... why do you fail me so frequently and without warning, why?

I'm stuck...

I have a space, supplies, time... and no inspiration to create. I'm really looking forward to my collage class this weekend. I'm hoping that it will get me inspired to create again. Then maybe I can work on some valentines day cards. I had such a great time last year making cards at J.'s house that I can't bear to miss that opportunity. I tried to make Christmas cards, but that didn't quite work out this year. Hey, J. do you have some of that linen thread? oh I guess it's too late unless I see you at LCC. Have a great class this weekend and print, print, PRINT :)

It's a new month

oops... look at that... it's been a whole month away from the blog. What's been going on? (Well I've missed my office mate while she was on her art vacation, sorry for not keeping up J) but here's a summary.


1. Went to the family post christmas gathering and successfully made it through.


2. Finally got a "new" old car as a replacement for the one my darling husband burned up the engine.

3. Took the train up to PDX and went to the birthday party of my best friend, went out to brunch, and then went to a cat show!!


4. Oh and not to forget the post holiday party at work which featured a white elephant gift exchange AND karaoke by members of the staff... wow... that's all I can really say about that.

I must go to bed now, but rest assured I will be back soon to tell tales of my recent poetry class, and the upcoming collage class that is happening this weekend. I'm very excited about it, but a little nervous about it. Sure wish you were coming with me J.
Good night
