I did a thing yesterday. I'd played around with painting in the past, but hadn't touched the stuff in a good long time. Yesterday, I did a Paint 'n' Sip with a few other ladies, something that had looked like fun, but I'd never done.
Seven of us plus our able instructor got together to create "a fall scene" in acryllic paint. The event was deemed a fundraiser for my PEO chapter, but was mainly an excuse to get together and goof around. Both purposes were served.
I brought my result home, and there it sits in the corner of my "office", between the dry erase markers and kleenex, for lack of any place else.
Maybe I'll touch it up and name it "Children of the Corn"
It's a bit concerning how dependent many of us are on our apps and cloud services, eh?
For me, it was a full-on first world problem as I had a haircut appointment on Monday, and found that my Pinterest wouldn't load. Pinterest held my hair reference photos! What to do?
Sigh of relief when the issue was corrected in time, but it was touch and go there, I tellya!
Also this week, I took in another bicycle. These things are wrecking my minimalist image. I have the lovely Violet, which I mainly take for relatively long joyrides, like this morning's beautiful fall ride. Then there's Daisy, my trusty single speed commuter. I also have Lily, the buxom mountain bike.
Well, now I have the yet-to-be-named newbie-to-me. We bought her 10 plus years ago for Meego. He rode it through high school and then college, but hasn't ridden it much in recent years.
With the temperatures getting cooler and days getting shorter, I was thinking it would be nice to have a little softer ride on the cooler, darker commutes. Violet and Daisy both have skinny tires and zero suspension. I rattle with every bump and crack. For grins, I asked Meego if he used that old bike much, and if not, could I buy it from him.
Well, he brought it over, free of charge he says. I gave it a little spa treatment and have been enjoying her cushiness this past week.
That's her in her yet-to-be-named orangeness, parked alongside the zippy Daisy who takes a well deserved respite. And no, I won't name it Donald or Trump.
Or will I?
How cool that you got together with the girlies for a fun time of fall fun. LOVE the picture. It would look wonderful as your banner!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Amazon web service was out. I don't honestly know what that is?
The bike looks like great fun and to me, a minimalist isn't someone with no things. It's something with as many things as they use. For example, I have three different size electric pressure cookers and I used them ALL.
So to me, if we use the things we own and care for them, that's the most important AND the most fun!
Wishing you a fun Halloween week with a great big side of boogie boogie 🎃👻
reclaiming the color! It is a good color with such negativity around it-
ReplyDeleteAnita Bryant and trump...the ugliest of oranges. Marigold is better-
"Children of the corn" is a good name for your painting. It looks harmless...but do not get too close!
