GOOD MORNING!!! COLOR COLOR COLOR!!

Good Happy Morning!! I SHOULD be working frantically for the two day show that I am doing this weekend. I SHOULD be sealing edges, attaching hanging wires, painting a few more pieces, packing the cooler with snacks, organizing everything, going over my checklist...These are things I SHOULD be doing. Instead, here I am..playing stupid, mind-numbing Facebook games, and blogging....heheheee...

I wanted to show you all what I got in the mail yesterday. It's an awesome addition to my studio, and I love it! I ordered a paint chart from Golden Paints. It is amazing!! It's $9.95, and it's HUGE!! Last week I ordered the COLOR MIXING BIBLE by Ian Sidaway, and now I have this..so maybe I can bring some color and brightness to my paintings...:::snicker::::. Actually, I want to learn to tone down some of my colors to paint more realistically, and I need help. I can NEVER made browns, muted colors and greys work...sigh...Anyway, I recommend hopping over to Golden's site, and making the purchase. It gives you all their colors, and various hues of each one. I LOVE both of these purchases!

Well, I HAVE cut way back on my sugar intake. I can't say honestly that I feel any BETTER. You have to feel bad in the first place, to feel better...I am hating my coffee, because it's no longer sickly sweet and syrupy. I have been replacing cinnamon rolls (one of my many addictions) with fruit, and haven't added extra sugar to anything else. I am watching Dr. Oz daily to keep me health conscience. I suppose next week, I will start walking with Nature Boy, and I am dreading it. I am far too lazy to get out and WALK...but, I need to do it...Please expect daily whining about it though. LOL.

A little update on my father. He was suppose to die on Easter Sunday. They were taking him off of  his heart machine, and off the medications, and they expected him to live only a few hours. Well..that was 12 days ago. When they did take him off the stuff, his heart started beating better than it had in a LONG TIME..LOL..(which somewhat validates my theory that doctors are dangerous for your health..hehehe). I really don't talk about my family on here. My father and I were on non-speaking terms for about 25 years, and the last five, even though, we let go of the past--well, we really haven't developed a relationship..

SHE WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING is GRADUATING in 23 days!!! I am SO PROUD and AMAZED!! I am amazed that I am OLD enough to have a daughter that is graduating from college/nursing school..LOL LOL.

Anyway..I am just rambling now, and my finger is going dead from typing. I guess I better get busy, and get ready for tomorrow's art show.
Live Artfully!
