This blog is being laid to rest! If anyone would like to contact me you still can through my website at: www.yessy.com/ladyleo912

Watercolors can be fun. I have to sike myself into it. I suppose I can work them in an abstract way that could be interesting.

I guess I'm still feeling guilty about not doing anything to contribute to the universe and in my belief creating art is a contribution.

I have to find ways to stimulate and inspire myself.

I found another cousin that I never knew on Facebook the other day. We've been emailing each other ever since. Facebook is an excellent communication tool! If I didn't have it right now I'd have no contact outside of my immediate family. I'm logged on all the time; always looking for some kind of human contact albeit remote.

The night before my father's kidney stone surgery and I'm a little nervous about it. I just wish he didn't have to go through it.

Nothing special happened today and I have nothing special to write about. I probably shouldn't be writing at all if I have nothing to say.


So I won't bore you all with a lot of 'nothing.'

Things to Do

I'm going to have to go back to watercolors which also means go back to drawing. I don't have any excuses for not doing it and I think it's something I should be doing. I need to be an artist in order to feel more fullfilled. When I finish writing this I'll go get myself setup. While I'm down there I should clean up in the studio; get rid of the turpenoid that's sitting out and put all the tubes of paint away. It will be nice to have some new artwork to put out again.

Party

Looking forward to a good party later today at Ken and Allen's lake house. Wonder if they have a house that's unoccupied that Addi could keep up for them? Must find out. Other than that little piece of importance I just want to have a good time.

It's now Sunday and I had a very nice time at the party. The house is beautiful and right on the lake. Boy, I'd love to live in a place like that!

Ken took us for a boat ride but there were so many people around him I didn't get the opportunity to talk to him about Addi staying in one of his houses. I may ask Helen for his phone number and give him a call later in the week.

I'd Rather Watch Westerns

The word for the day is 'boring.' Dad was watching the British Open golf tournament most of the day and I discovered that I'd rather watch westerns!

Thank God for Adija! Her calls break the monotony and give me a chance to talk to my best friend at the same time! I'm glad she has been calling every day because my mom doesn't have free long distance so I can't call her.

I'm home now and relaxing with my laptop instead of sitting uncomfortably at a desk using my mother's computer.

Tomorrow is really going to be different -- I'll be with people at a party at Ken and Allan's.

I'd Rather Think of Paris

Today started off cloudy and drizzelly but it turned sunny and beautiful. It's not that way everywhere though, my online friend Nancy is having a terrible time because on top of her loneliness it hasn't stopped raining for days. She hates where she's living and I do too except I am grateful to have the opportunity to help out my mom and dad. There doesn't seem to be anything good right now in Nancy's situation. I wish I could help. I'd invite her here but then she'd really be bummed! There's nothing to do here but see an occasional movie.

I'd rather think of Paris and how great it's going to be. I see myself thinner so that means I'll lose weight in time for the trip. I don't see rain either so that means the weather will be perfect for us!
