Mutant Zucchini

Mutant zucchini
Current mood: chipper
Category: Blogging
My mom and dad came to visit tonight. I figured since we'd been eating so heavily coz my mother-in-law LOVES to feed us, I'd make something light. Thursdays have become my kitchen duty since it's the only day I have off during the week So, anyway, my mom and dad brought some veggies from their garden...tomatoes, avocados (yes, avocados!!) and the BIGGEST zucchinis!! I kid you not! Okay, I know ya'll are gonna laugh coz I'm totally going to be dating myself with what I'm about to write, but do you all remember the 80's cartoon "Captain Caveman"? lol Well, the way he used to fly was with his "super powered" club! These zucchini..., let's just say you can knock a wooly mammoth on it's ass with it!! We could feed a family of 12 and still have leftovers!! They're that huge!!
Oh, yeah, and I had written that she wanted me to paint something for a church anniversary gift on my last post. I just about finished it. Basically, it's a painting of a torch. It's alright. I hope the pastor likes it. I'm going to put the gloss coat on it tomorrow. I did a couple of other things too, but I'm going to redo them. coz they're not the greatest and I don't like them. Yeah, I know...I'm my own worst critique, but I REALLY don't like them so it's either paint over them or completely forget about them! I'd rather paint over them. lol...
I'm gonna work on a couple of poems now. I don't know if I'll like the outcome coz I felt like having a cooler and well, it's really relaxing me, so we'll see what happens. Night all!

Almost
I'd been waiting for the moon to change,
to shift and show her colors
I'd been watching so intently
that I almost missed you
and the way you stared at me
with those beautiful eyes
Your long, dark lashes
almost veiled the want...
almost, but I saw it
yet, I nearly missed it
like the shooting star
that sped across that cobalt backdrop
You'd been standing there
a while with your hands
in your pockets just
waiting...
and I, well, I was staring
at the moon waiting for the change,
the shift in colors
and I almost missed you

a cross post from my myspace blog
"short people got no worries..."
Current mood: silly
Category: Blogging
You know...whoever came up with that song WASN'T short!! Today was an interesting day. I have to mount this giant freaking map onto a piece of foamcore the size of Mount Olympus! No joke! The foamcore that I had to cut down for the map was 48"x96". Think of it, guys. That's 4' high by 8' wide!! And, I'm all of 4'11"!!! Oh my jeebus...lol It was a feet just trying to get those damn boards out of the spot Patsy and I put them into. I was literally huffin' and puffin' trying to get two boards out AND I have to fight with another one tomorrow, coz I didn't finish the order. Heh...not to mention I kinda got pinned for a second between the other boards that I was trying to, um, maneuver out of the way! lol
I wish you all could see what I had to work with. You would have been laughing your asses off watching me carry this board. All you would have seen was a pair of feet and a set of hands hugging the board!!! lmao I'm just glad I didn't run into anything. Oh, and to make things worse, the map is wider than the 48" board, so I had to splice two pieces together. Yeah, that was interesting. NOT! I had to get on all fours on top of the work table to reinforce the splice with another piece of foamcore. That made for a really nice view....HELLO full moon over Cerritos!! It's a good thing no one came around the corner while I was prowling around the top of that table. They may have wanted to slip a few dollar bills into my belt with the booty view I offered!!! Geez...and I have to do that again tomorrow?!! Oh, man! Maybe I can recruit some help tomorrow. My boss will be back from vacation and I can utilize his height (6'2") and some of the muscle that I lack. I have to spend time on top of a ladder too! OMG...why am I thinking about this now?! Ugh!
Okay...I'm gonna go zen. I'm surprised I'm not completely wiped out since I went to the gym at 5:30 this morning. I'm gonna be good and go now...I have a couple of paintings I'm working on. Catch ya'll later!

Holy Moly!!
Well, now...being the techno tard that I am, I've just spent the last hour looking through "floppy disks" full of my poems. Yes, floppy's...lol...I didn't realize how many pieces I've accumulated over the past, what, five years!! And, you should see how full my studio is now. I have artwork everywhere!!
Erin, I haven't forgotten about your painting. I'll send it out tomorrow... lol...
I have to go through a ton of books and loose leaf papers! I can't find one notebook that has a bunch of stuff that I was working on. It may be buried in my car somewhere in the trunk! lol I have sooo much stuff in there for my passions. Have some floral arrangements I'm working on too, as if painting and writing just wasn't enough!! Oh, yeah...and I'm looking into a new digital camera. Ours is about to poop out. It's way old. It still takes great pics...all the photos I've posted were taken by that camera, but it doesn't always work properly :-/
Just wanted to give you an update

Success
The birthday bash was a hit. I had a turnout of about 40 loud family members and we ate and drank until we were all beyond full!! lol. It was the greatest! I just wanted to share a few pics. While I'm doing this, I'm gonna snarf up a piece of cake! ;-P
There are so many more that I can post, but I don't want to really embarrass anyone but me and my hubby so there!! Enjoy

waiting for the breakdown
I should be working on corsages and boutinere's(sp?) but I'm not in that kind of a creative mind frame. All I want to do is paint!! lol...it's an addiction really, just like my writing. I just can't seem to do without it :-)
I wrote something the other day, but have been mulling it over quite a bit. I like it, but I'm not completely sure... Tell me what you all think :-)
heaven and hell collided
when we met-
ice turned to stone
and sand turned to rain
your darkness became my light;
my tragedy
and my love began
your downfall
We were beautiful once
like two shooting stars
racing across the infinite grace
of an endless sky
you,my muse,
were everything love could be
within a lie
and a razors edge
And I, still myself,
loved you with everything;
light, darkness and the passion
of a thunderstorm

Painting...
Current mood: chipper
Category: Blogging
I'm working on another painting. It's for my friend, Erin, in NC. It's her birthday on the 4th, so I'm sending her a care package. It's long overdo, but I'm finally getting it out. Erin and I have an affinity with the moon, so I'm sending her one so she can look at it anytime she wants . I'm gonna finish it now. I'll post a pic in my other blog, www.ifwisheswerediamonds.blogspot.com when it's finished...I promise (heh...told you I'd post something...) Pics not here yet...patience my friends...soon ;-)
