Excuses Suck

I have little patience for excuses..we do things or we don't for a reason...sometimes we don't know what that reason is, sometimes we do, yet we feel the need to make excuses.

First, Here's my do/don't do list:

I finally got back into the habit of going to the gym 5 - 6 times a week. I have gone twice since Feb 14.

I finally cleaned out my garage so I could have a place to do my art, took lots of stuff to storage, threw lots of stuff away. I can barely find my way from the front to the back of my garage now, it's full of stuff that needs to go to storage.

I started an art blog to motivate me to produce some stuff and get it out there...or at least post it on my blog. I haven't produced a piece worth posting since ???

I picked out a great color to paint my bedroom. The paint can (plastic w/handle) sat in my closet so long that something heavy fell on it and broke the lid. Its now in the kitchen covered with foil. I don't want to put it out in the garage (see above), my bedroom is still unpainted.

Everyday I discover something I should/could do and add it to my list......

Here's my excuse:

My stupid right hand is in a cast!!!

My solution:

I get it off Thursday!!!!!

Then...no more excuses ! -)

Visit to Gramma's house

It's been almost 2 weeks since Soren left (and Kirsten) and I keep running into reminders of their visit (Kirsten I found a sock of ur's). For the first couple of days I just left all the trucks where he left them outside...He got to play outside alot...But now the toys are put away., haven't quite gotten them to storage yet...it seems strange to take them to storage?!?

So I thought I'd share a few photos (see Blog slideshow) with ya..first, since this is an "Art" blog...here's a piece of artwork Soren produced while he was here:





He enjoyed the painting for about 30 seconds...then it was truck time!!!





We made it to the beach one afternoon...we took daily walks...our neighbors the Mitchells gave Soren a car to ride around in, he helped Grampa Richie in his office...It was a JOY to have them both here, can't wait to see them in July!
