quick way to tell our friends about whatever trip we were on – I could tell everyone at once, and show a bunch of pictures.
But, right away, I realized that 1) I think way
too many things are interesting and I take way too many pictures, and if I tried
to blog that, it would probably be boring to everyone else, clog up the system
with 1000′s of pictures of green fields, and I’d never finish writing; 2) I
think way too many things are interesting, so got sidetracked into telling
information about the location – not just that we’d been there, but other things
to see, how much some attractions cost, hours of operation, etc.; 3) I don’t
necessarily like to write about what I’m doing right that second, because, to be
honest, I don’t necessarily want people to know where I am, right at that
second… depending on the what, the where and the who….
Anyway! I’m bring this up now because it takes
longer to research the areas than it does to just chatter away about what I
loved and what I didn’t, and so – and here’s the point – I got side tracked this
week, and ran out of time (I didn’t realize it was time for my weekly Sunday
blog!) I could quickly whip something up now, but I want to talk about the
Seahorse Ranch (Farm, actually) and want to get the details right, instead of
“we went to the Farm – it was cool”, which, by the way, it was!
So, Seahorse Ranch next week. Confession, this
week.
In
the meantime, the reason I was distracted is because I’m working on an art
project, and I always lose track of time when I’m working on something “right
brained.” So much so, that when I am working on something, I have to set the
alarm to remind myself that I have other things to do.
This time, I’m painting a bottle (I can’t show a
picture because I want the outcome to be a surprise for the person to whom it
belongs…. and I don’t know if they are reading my blog or not… … guess this is
one way to find out…)
I’ve had a lot of projects this summer, which is
why I went from a “twice a week” blog to a “once a week” blog…
Sometimes, my projects are painting pictures,
usually the projects involve sculpting little quirky figurine type things (I
call them “My Little Creatures“), and this is my first bottle.
I had already started painting by the time my
“Left-brain” said, “Hey! You should’ve taken a
“before” picture.” Oh well. Unless… here’s a picture (edited) – maybe someone
will recognize what the bottle is? The part that’s covered is an embossed
sunshine…or sunflower…? all clear…
So, that’s that! Hope to be back on track! In the
meantime, I am committed to getting something written about the Seahorse Ranch
for next week.
