Hello all!

Ever have one of those moments where you say to yourself, "Hmm, that was interesting. What got into me?" Well, that's what I'm asking myself now. I just shaved my head. The only hair on my head is on my face - and it feels really weird. Super weird.


I'll save money on shampoo that's for sue and I'll give it a few days and see how I like it. I have to say, the timing is horrible considering it's averaging about 17 degrees during the day. I'll put "buy warm hat" on my to-do list.

Oh, my messy studio area....

Hope everyone is doing well.

Alrighty, I'll update.

All I can say is I've been BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!!
Work is going well but since the summer is coming up there is a real push by clients to get jobs out so things have been crazy there. Good for the company - but it is really starting to wear on me and several others there too.

There ALWAYS seems to be a project that has to be done RIGHT NOW at church...I'm getting tired of the "Oh great, you could have said something a month ago!" kind of notice on projects.
Since February its been set building for Easter, School Plays, and now VBS. That and AWANA just ended....thankfully(don't get me wrong, I like working with the kids...but the prep takes longer than the actual time spent with them).

I love my church but if someone else comes up to me and asks for something "art-ish" that can be done by just about anyone there, I'm going to scream. I get ALL the art jobs at church...and, I should let them know, I am NOT an expert on SET design...I'm an ILLUSTRATOR and it's what I WANT to do...I just happen to be the only on who gives set design a go, I mean, it's like building and decorating a house....but, no more this year. I do enjoy working with my hands but when people use me as a copout to not do it themselves it is the most annoying thing ever!

Been working on an online comic with one of the teens at my church - this, and illustrating Tim's book, are the only things that I felt I chose to do because I really wanted to do them. The other things it seems I've done because no one ever seems to step up to do it. So far so good with the comic...but this is going to be an ongoing project that will take forever....oh well. Final illustrations are up next for Tim's book - should be fun.

There are so many other things that I want to do right now, like get back into 3D modeling and work on developing/rewriting that children's book I wrote in college. I guess what I am saying is that I want to have time to work on art projects for myself.

I was supposed to paint a few things for another friend at church but, usually when I get home it's - eat dinner then crash - 11-12 hour work days suck and it's been about a month since she asked.....sigh.

So anyway, I have little time to do anything, and when I do get some time to do whatever it is I want I'm too tired to do it. I can't tell y'all how many times I've sat on my bed to take a break from something I'm doing only to wake up around 3am thinking, "Wow, I guess I was more tired than I thought!" with the tv and all the lights still on.

I need a vacation.

I and a few other singles have been meeting regularly to fellowship and just hang out. It's nice to talk to people my age. It seems I'm always talking to kids under 5 years of age.

Thinking about my devotions does help me get through the day. They have been very relevant to what's going on in my life now.

Back to the subject of being tired, I am. So, I'm going to bed. I apologize if it seems I just abandoned this place and the boards...I do stop by now and then....

Later.

This month has just flown by.
Been to enough Christmas parties/gatherings for next year too. I just want to sleep....for the rest of the week.

Funny...I started this post last night and fell asleep!

Anywho, hope everyone has a great Christmas!!!
