keeping up

I never planned on staying away so long, but there's something funny about this Mountain Time...it seems so much shorter than the Texas Central Time I'm used to. The days fly by and I haven't been able to find a way to fit in all my daily chores let alone the things I want to do for fun. Add to the kooky time zone that we have no dishwasher so I hand wash at least 2 sinks worth of dishes daily (and I'm getting pretty fast, I have to admit) plus our very old house replenishes an inch worth of dust bi-weekly and I'm tired and behind on almost everything.

 

I did manage to make it to Target and pick up a Liberty scarf before they were all snatched up. But when I wear it, my husband says it looks like I have a table cloth wrapped around my neck. He may be right. But it's probably the only Liberty of London thing I'll ever own so I'm keeping it.

   

I also finished up an old apron I started a year ago to wear when I paint. But I'm not sure I should have bothered since I just saw a $40 pair of jeans at a local department store with fake paint splotches all over them. Who knew all this time I could have been letting the paint fly freely and still be in style?

Mostly, I'm dreaming of finding time to paint. Hopefully, tomorrow. Or this weekend. Maybe on my birthday.
