A quick post before i fly back out the door. Last night i saw an amazing show. Robert Mirabel and the Tribal Mob. Lots of flute, drums and pueblo style dancing with a little digeridoo too. Then i stayed up late finishing the painting in the spare room thinking i'd sleep in...but no, 8am i got a call from Lowe's and the rug was in. So i ran over and picked it up with my little Honda CX. I didn't think it would be a problem, 9x12 rolled should fit right? Well, it was rolled long, and 12 feet is longer than my car ooops. Fortunately the crafty service guy figured out how to tie it to my roof so i could drive it around the corner and home. The room is officially finished. Next time i'll pay someone else to install carpet. But, hey, i did it all myself and love how it looks, so there. Now i'm off to meet some friends for the river art walk to see what keeps other people busy.~w

Yes, i'm late today. I meant to leave early yesterday and didn't. You see, i finally kinda caught up with things at work, but i always seem to find one more thing to do. I really want to spend some time at home though working with the website. It'll happen eventually. I may sneak out early today...It's just too beautiful outside to sit inside all day. I'm sure it will be cold soon enough, but for now the days still are up in the mid-sixties and even as warm as seventy. It's really amazing to me. I remember the grey days of october and november being increasingly dark growing up. I found myself thinking that it didn't really matter if i never saw daylight, i was a night owl. Now i find myself rushing to beat the sun home.~w

Blogger didn't want to work this morning for me. So, i'm taking a moment at work to say a blurb.

A blurb.

Okay, that probably isn't very interesting. Let's see, my world is swirling around me and i'm waiting for things to settle so i can find things. Folks just moved a new desk into my office, or rather an old desk as a new desk was moved into the other room. It's sunny and warm outside and i'd much rather be out there than in here. There is some data entry to do, but i'm dreaming of escaping early to sit in the back yard at my house and play the flute in the sun. I may be daydreaming, but we'll see.~w

Okay, today i must get help fixing my back. Late night painting sprees are not good for my back. Today it hurts. I should be tap dancing with joy over the beauty of the day outside, but i don't feel much like moving. However, staying still hurts too. I'll get over it i'm sure. I'm just glad i took a night off from it last night. I'll get a massage today though and maybe visit the chiropracter too for a double whammy.

I'm feeling like cold molasses today. I better start moving now if i plan to ever get to work.~w

I went on a painting spree last night. Finally fed up with the colors of the spare room i bought wedgewinkle and sunbeam yellow to paint over the pine green splatter mess and then tore the dustry rose carpet up this morning to be replaced by a creamy burber with hints of blue that they call antique blue. Add to that some new curtain rods with blue glass ends and sheer white curtains and even without the new carpet the room is feeling much airier and friendly. I've decided that if i don't end up with a new roommate that the room will be my creative space. There's a lovely spot for my bass and amp and also for the flutes and music books with room for a relaxing chair and maybe even a small writing desk that faces out into the back yard. Ah.

Oh, wait. I'm supposed to be heading to work. I guess i'll have to pursue the creative stuff later.~w

I saw Riding in Cars with Boys yesterday. Not knowing what i was getting into, from the title and the previews i assumed it would be campy and silly. Actually, it was a pretty intense little movie. It was good. Mostly i spent yesterday catching up with friends and kinda sorting out it my head what i need to do this week. I need to make the spare bedroom into a usable space which requires some paint and maybe new carpet to make it less ugly. I have a plan in mind i just need to get the supplies. I really didn't want to do anymore painting, but if i'm going to be able to stand being in that room it needs it.

The past couple of days have been amazing here. Azure sky, emerald lawn, and ruby and gold leaves on the trees. I don't feel like sitting still today.~w

Hurray for mulching lawn mowers!! Why? Because it helped me find my lawn again by turning the leaves to dust. Hee hee. I have more to do today and am late to lunch. Did i say i would blog like normal this morning? Well, i guess i'm a little short today, but there is more to come at some point. Perhaps tomorrow morning.~w
