i see a red drawer and i want to paint it white.

This week needed to be over.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank you for no more school work.
For no more drama with grade haters.
For no more driving to school in the mornings.

And soon for no more neighbors blaring their t.v.
above us at seven o freaking clock in the morning.

Since I knew we were moving soon,
I’ve not been keeping the best house lately.
But I finally couldn’t take it any more
and decided to clean up and organize the office.
And so I spray painted all my organizational crap
that wasn’t silver or brown.
Now it’s all clean and bright. (like edelweiss)

I would show you a picture of EVERRRRYTHING,
But I don’t want to bore you.

Also, I ordered some paper from Hambly
for my cards for the Juno ATC swap.
They came in the mail.
I’m pretty pumped about this one!

I also picked up some comp journals
cause I decided I need to have a separate place
to do document day to day stuff and my thoughts.
A place that doesn’t have to be a scrapbook.
It’s not exactly going to be an art journal….
But maybe like a journal on steroids.

Also, did a CD swap with some girlies from school.
I love friends who share my music taste!
I have a friend who is a fitness model
And she never wants to go out for ice cream
or fun stuff like that.
It’s hard.
Kinda like listening to rap music with my friends.
haha kidding.  sort of.
Actually I do listening to hip hop sometimes.
sometimes.
One Saturday afternoon I was blaring JayZ
When my neighbor knocked on my door
and said she was trying to sleep.
I didn’t really feel bad
since it was 1:00 in the afternoon
and she blares her t.v. at 7 a.m.
But she is way more gangsta than myself,
so I sheepishly turned down my music.
Since then I mostly blare classical music
during my Saturday afternoon drafting sessions.

But I gotta blare the tunes when I’m cleaning.
Yesterday I cleaned out a huge stack of old paper.
Gave it to the girl I nanny- she loved it!

Gotta love the purge.
Oh yeah and winning a jack.
The perfect nightcap to the week.

    I was so happy to see you won the jack – you totally deserved it girl!
    what I call my “art journal” is really just like a junk drawer, lol. I do everything in it… not just art journaly (journaly?? ha) stuff, but I write reminders to myself, lists, notes, I use it for my paint swatches, yeah, everything. It’s quite a mess but ah well, love it.
