so last week i had this great idea- that i'd start featuring some other blogs. share the little bits of things that i find that i love. knowing all too well how i am with projects- i knew that i wouldn't do it on the assigned day that i set for myself. and eventually give up. because, well… that's just the kinda gal i am. (er… must.change)
i don't think i have ever said 'gal' out loud. it just sounds better in type, don't you think?
well guess what? last friday was the day i was going to start.
today is sunday. well.. actually, it's technically monday for me.
fail.
but i didn't tell you about it, so essentially… bah.
and then there's one more problem. i'm…not stylish and clever like these other blogs i see featuring their favourites. they're always so elegant and stylish and just. know how to put it together. that… is not me. (does that make sense to anyone else? these other blogs are more like interior decorators and fashionistas and know how to put things together)
i'm the roll out of bed, leave the house with a rat's nest in my hair…lucky if i remember to put on deodorant… style has never really been my thing. i just swoon over girls that are 'accidentally' stylish. the way they float across a room, their slender dainty fingers that pick up a pencil with grace. their perfectly messy but right put together look.
anyway.
that will start happening soon. i'll brush my hair. (probably not) and put on deodorant (only if i have to put on a bra)
and start featuring some crap that i find that i like- that you have probably already seen on these fashionable blogs, because i am soooo like… 1999. (actually, that's not far from coming back into fashion, is it. ha!)
in the mean time, i've been painting.. and painting. and sketching in bed. and painting some more.
trying to contact as many printers over here to print on fine art paper (guuuuuuuh) dealing with the differences in paper size europe vs. america (i bet you didn't think there would be much of a difference. there is.) calculating the difference between mm, cm, and inches. ew… comparing prices from company to company, euro to dollars. waiting to hear back from customer services. yadda yadda. all very boring- but hopefully i'll find some place great (do you have any suggestions? are you in europe, do you know a good printer? lemme know!)
and i hope to share some new paintings with you tomooooorrooowww.
i bet you can't wait.
i bet you'll set an alarm to wake up and refresh my page every minute.
no?
well i don't blame you.
sleep in. call in sick. mondays at an office are never fun. stay in your pajamas all day (i bet you i will) and listen to christmas music. fa la la la

Oh gosh, goodness knows how many times I have thought about blogging a "feature friday" or something like that, only to remember that it would turn into a "feature Sunday" then a "feature once-a-month" … I've always thought that people might be embarrassed to be featured on my blog too lol. Oh, the things that go through my mind!
And I agree, gal sounds better in type. Just like the word 'Blog' sounds weird in real life.
I find so many similarities in your ramblings and the things that go on in my head. I can't tell you how much I wish I had style…even an ounce. My photographs seep emotion…but alas, not much style. I often tetter back and fourth between buying vogue magazine hoping to pick up something up and telling myself to "just be me". I rarely wear my hair any way except air-dried and pulled back. I rarely wear make up and my wardrobe consists of 34″ inseam jeans and an old T-shirt I got from my basketball playing days.
whatever…I tell myself that I could put time into being "stylish" but a) I don't think I would succeed b) I have other things I like to do…like…look at other artist's new paintings of whimsical women who remind me of what really matters…and in their own stylish way
o.k…ramblings in the above post was not meant mean in anyway…shape or form…you need an edit button, so when i go back and read my post and say "oh my god…I so didn't mean it like that"…I can fix it!!!
I think showcasing blogs you love is a fabulous idea…and i wouldnt worry about an assigned day otherwise you'd feel obligated to post something that maybe you didnt absolutely LOVE. just post when u find a blog so fantastic you cant keep it to yourself!!!
I love Mondays since I don't have to wake up early and go to a job I hate (aka lawyer).
I swear I didn't want to add this stupid smiley. tsssss!
