Rainy day Activities

It was raining something awful today....I just love watching the rain, although I am not sure why. I do know that I have always been fascinated by foul weather (lol...fowl weather...pic of a bird...hee hee ...i know I am gay) anyways, I remember when I lived on the beach in Revere, I would watch the storms come in from the Atlantic ocean....I recall going out in Hurricanes to check it out...there were always people out with their babies (which I never quite understood)..now that I have lived in Florida, I can appreciate the damage a real hurricane can cause...they are no joke down here....anyways, as I was looking out the window today, I noticed this bird sitting out the storm in the tree right outside my window...so I tried to draw it....it's my first bird...not too bad...I wonder if it really was the spirit of a loved one that is no longer alive...maybe my mom...I like to believe that she visits me through nature..whether it be a beautiful sunrise or a bird perched outside my window...Ok you can call the guys with the white coats now..lol...

She's CRAFTY!!!!!

As the Beasties say, SHE'S Crafty!!! I bet y'all didn't know I had the mad skills. I bought this "mail organizer" at IKEA...assembled it ( you know nailed, screwed andf so forth)...next I sanded the wood a bit...then I cut some bright and colorful paper to glue onto the drawer fronts...I like that I could individualize it ....I think it definitely adds some character....I got the idea for the addition of the paper from an decorating magazine....who knew I had the craft bug...see you don't have to have kids in order to play with glue and paper....It's the little things like doing this that makes me happy...it took me a little bit cuz I would put it together then set it asside for a few weeks...then sand it and put it aside for a few weeks...you can see where this is going...I am crafty but lazy....in the long run, it is the perfect solution to organize all of my bills, receipts and all the gatzies I had laying around....So onto the next project, although I have no idea what it will be....but I will keep y'all posted....lol.....see ya!!!!

Happy 4th

Happy Fourth Of July...ok 3rd of July....but happy day anyways....as we are about to celebrate another year of our great nation's freedom, there are a few questions I would like to ponder. Do the holidays such as this one still get you excited? I find for myself, they really have lost alot of the meaning since I became an adult. Maybe if I had kids of my own, I would still find joy in the festivities. Really, I see most holidays as just another day...even Christmas and New years. How sad!!! I think a large reason too for my loss of interest in Xmas has to do with the over-commercialization of the holiday....I recently saw Halloween decorations at a Michael's craft store...it's only July for Christ's sake. By the time halloween comes around the decorations and spooky sounds will have lost their character and only be seen as an annoyance. I suspect that I will see Xmas stuff available by late August if the halloween thing is any indication. "Jingle Bells" in August turns into fingernails on a chalkboard by December. Bah Humbug already....I can't wait to see my attitude in December..lol. Really, since Mom passed away, the holidays have lost a lot of their meaning. It's just the way things are....and that's ok. Everyone keeps asking," So what are you doing for the 4th?" I haven't a clue. I actually don't even care if I do anything. Last year, I made an attempt to see fireworks with a friend but we were too late getting to the beach and missed them. Kinda like taking a nap on New year's Eve and waking up at 12:01...it just sort of losses it's magic. Oh well....maybe my 4th will be better this year. Just please be careful if you are out on the roads. They say that the 4th is actually the most dangerous holiday for drunk drivers because people attend parties and drink all day and night. So stay close to home, don't light any fireworks that you are holding, and if you still have that child in you, cherish it. Enjoy everyone.
