summertime

I was never a very good journal entry writer in school and even though I've tried to keep a personal journal over the years, it usually skips around a lot. When I say a lot, I mean my notes go from "I just graduated from college" to "well, I just got married" to "they have me scheduled to give birth next Tuesday at 9am". Basically, a blog is a journal and I'm trying not to let such long lapses of time go by between each entry. Sorry, no huge life events to speak of right now.

Honestly, I didn't think it was necessary to post anything since I (and maybe 2 other friends) was the only one viewing it, but I've noticed a jump in vistors and so I better get on it!

Greta, the very nice lady who runs Footpaths Cafe, has been so very kind to let me hang my work on her cafe walls for July and August. I went in this week with the youngins and we had a lovely lunch (the pear salad is yummy) and checked on the space. It was a buzzing little place considering the quiet location tucked around farms and the river. It was great to see my kiddos taking pictures of Mommy's paintings and being asked by my 4yr old son why there were price tags next to them.

Tonight was about no painting, no logo design(which I should be doing); it was about reality tv. Project Runway is a show where 15 apparel designers from various backgrounds compete to be the last standing and win gobs of $. Anyways, it is quite fun and always interesting to see what these people dream up. Tonight was the premier of this season and it just so happens an old friend and colleague, Bonnie, is one of the talented bunch. She was a crack up back when and I can tell she hasn't changed too much!
Good news is she wasn't voted off and her dress design was beautiful (they had to create haute couture from the materials found in their shared apartment; shower curtains, rug, sheets, lamps, etc...).

Okay. I made a journal entry. I feel good about that.
