Day 9 (of 11) of Spring Break. The spouse and middle child return from the 8th grade trip to DC tonight. The youngest child fell asleep on the trampoline today and has the weirdest sunburn. The junk food is nearly all gone, send vegetables.
If you wanna take a new word for that, I like to verb-ize "Pollyanna" for that kind of situation. Also, I Scarlett O'Hara things a lot, though Scarletting isn't always a healthy cope.
Yes. Yes I do.
Also, whenever there IS a factory defect, I imagine Mike Rowe was filming a Dirty Jobs episode that day and f'd things up. Silly Mike!
Awww Video got taken down, BUT if you need drain cleaning content, I have SO many suggestions! Love it!
"Nearly hours of debate" ?
Four paintings of birds with various backgrounds
The four birds series. Bluebird and Raven inspired by Maxine Schaeffer's paint alongs by Art on Main. Cardinal and Robin from general images of the birds in nature. All are acrylic on 5x7 canvasboard.
A red background intersected by blossoming limbs that hold a solid black raven type bird.
Contemplative Raven
A painting with a deep blue background with whispers of grasses. A Robin with wings stretched ready to fly off a slim branch is the main focus.
Robin is ready for spring!
Dammit....drying rack, not frying
Its a painting
Oh! I forgot that I altered this one after my frying rack fell down and it got covered in fingerprints!
That wall is amazing! Licking was worth it!
Thank you!
A painting of a blue Jay with a moody Grey background featuring snow covered limbs, berries, and snowflakes. The painting is on a tripod in front of a red brick wall.

A seashore with blue sky, clouds, blue waves crash on yellow sand.
I've been doing quicker paintings with acrylics on 5x7 canvas boards. Enjoying the easier cleanup as life has been too chaotic for a detailed oil painting lately.
The place I had my latest neuropsych exam was amazing. Northern DE, right on or over the PA border on 202. Let me know if you want the actual name.
You forgot the Jersey Shore but grown up in the best/worst way.
Relativity is insane
Or a larger than normal toaster oven (I adore my ninja flip)
With all the chaos going on, something to pay attention to is proposals to change banking rules with the FDIC (banks) and NCUA (credit unions).
Don't let this slip under the rug!

My sweater got caught on my glasses as I pulled it over my head. I approached my husband for assistance saying, "Cornholio needs help".
It strikes me as such a generational thing and also makes me feel so much older for some reason.
This story uses elements from his latest work (Juniper is the MC of those) but old favorites of Jilly and thr crow girls are very much present battling ICE. <3

Blue whispy cloud sky with a line of mountains in the distance. Rolling green hills lead to a waterfall and autumn tree line with a rolling river at the bottom of the painting.
This week's painting, Cascade Meadows inspired by a Diane Andre tutorial on the Alexander Art YouTube.
Making progress!
Clean bathtub was actually on my made better list! Also on the list is improving my painting skills with practice and supporting my family with replacing a bum clothes dryer.
My little corner of the universe is made better by what I do every day. It's only Wednesday, let's see what else I can do
Does this include data centers?
I am sick of living through historical/interesting times.
A purple sky and greenish wave
Here's the first attempt. (Based off of season 13, episode 12-Oval Essence)
A purple sky and bluish wave
I wanted to try a black canvas painting and also waves...so I did both in this week's painting adventures. Second first this time
An alternate SOTU, state of Swamp
Truly shocked to see DE Governor Matt Meyer on stage.

Time and time again he has overstepped ALL legal statutes. We can't keep waiting for the courts to give a speed bump to his actions. WE THE PEOPLE elected YOU to represent us in Congress. YOU and your associates are duly empowered to stop this madness that is hurting the American people.
