I want to decorate for real

August 4, 2009 Leave a Comment

What I mean is that I am really in the mood to move around on my feet and carry big pieces back and forth, use a hammer and nails, shove furniture around and sweat. To loud music. I want to get physical (yes, I hear the song now too). But alas, I can’t. Realistically.

  • I need to do it when no one else is around. You know how that is, don’t you? I don’t want DIL sitting there watching every move I make the entire time.
  • Money. A big part of what I want to do is hang some of my prints. But I can’t afford to get them framed (still).
  • Work. See above. I need to work to get the money to buy the frames.
  • Money. Yes, this is a big one so I listed it twice.

Ever since we remodeled our home (the living room version on Flickr) I still have not done anything else to the room(s). There is something weird about that to me. But, it is what it is. I will someday.

But what I seriously need to do is go upstairs and take inventory of all of my prints. I’m a little nervous about the Mark Ryden print and whether it’s ok having been in the same packaging for the last… 5 (?) years. Nope, never even opened it. :::sigh:::

OH well. Such is life. I get this way every couple of months. It will pass. I think the reason for my current feelings is that we’re planning on having the house re-sided, so I’ve been looking around at photos of siding. I want to get the scalloped siding on the dormers, you know, like a gingerbread house. Then the colors. Colorsolorscolors. Of course hubby will have a pretty big say on this one. The inside of the house was pretty carte blanche for me, but the outside is more his baby, ya know?

Hey, I gotta go… what the hell, it’s 10:00 already! The day is half over!!

Set up your work day with the right atmosphere…

nag champaI’ve always been a very tactile person… sensual. Not sensual in the bedroom kind of sensual, but I like to experience my surroundings by touch, smell, sound & visually. So it’s no surprise (and you guys probably know this about me by now) that to get into my “back-to-work” mode, I have the incense burning, t.v. on in the background (it’s comforting to me), a tidy desk, and a fresh pot o’ coffee brewing.

I also read my morning quote from Ralph… how appropriate is it today? While it may not fit my day perfectly, I always take away something from what he has to say. Yup, positive reinforcements.

Then there’s that other part of me… not sensual, inspired or motivated… just that evil twin o’ mine—the Procrastinator!

So. With that said, I’d better get my ass in gear and get to work!

Jennie’s wedding clip…

August 2, 2009 2 Comments

One of Jennie’s friends made a little video from photos at the wedding. How sweet. Love the music—“Today” by Joshua Radin.

Plus, I want to try Apture again. I like it. It’s not anywhere near those SNAP link popups. I HATE those and will not return to any sites that employ those annoying pieces of script. At least with Apture you have the option to click or not to click.

I have no idea what the heck they’re talking about on Law&Order right now…

Happy Anniversary Woodstock!

August 2, 2009 Leave a Comment

Last day of vacation and I spent it cleaning out deep corners of my pc, rearranging files and then playing with some fun graphics for awhile.

I created a new graphic set for FullMoon Graphics… poor dear, neglected pretty much since November. It’s teetering on crashing once again since I haven’t exported it into the latest version of NetObjects… as a matter of fact, it’s about 2 versions behind. That will have to wait until my next vacation, whenever that may be.

ANYway, most of you must know by now that I l-o-v-e Woodstock. I love everything that it stands for. For the music, for the era… for the clothes (yes, the clothes). So I played with hippy-trippy tie-dyed patterns and flowers and peace signs. Heck, there’s even a matching desktop, although given the “busy-ness” of the patterns, chances are you won’t see a single icon on your desktop with this wallpaper!

So check it out dude! Enjoy.
Peace, luv & coffee!

Amazing & healthy

You know, since we haven’t chatted for so long, I didn’t show you one of my most recent client sites.

Dr. Fitness & the Fat Guy

Dr. Fitness & the Fat Guy has so much info on the site (especially on their blog), it amazes me that they haven’t run out of things to post in the 4 yrs or so that they’ve been around. The site was a blast to design… fun stuff (gotta check out the free ebook do-hicky), and they really are a couple of cool guys. yee-haw!
