I meant to spend all weekend with my family, but the studio itch got too strong. I had to do some painting.

Double Sleepover
Last night, Angelica was invited to a sleepover at her friend S's house. Tonight, she was invited to stay again, so we picked her up just long enough to take her to her appointment and then we brought her back. Hopefully she's having a lot of fun. C and I are. We went to the … Continue reading Double Sleepover
Life
After dropping A off at school and driving down the street, I got a phone call. I answered it and a cute little voice said, "Mom, I forgot my project at home in the living room. Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life
Instagram, Studio Life
I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life
Jesus Paid It All
I went to Mass on Tuesday, and I showed up early for Confession so that I could take Communion. Well, I had just confessed my sins and been given my penance, and I went to a seat in the sanctuary, and opened my phone. Somehow, I ended up opening youtube even though I didn't mean … Continue reading Jesus Paid It All

Date Day

Under the Weather
Sore throat. Headache. Racing thoughts. Sleeplessness. I am mentally and physically not feeling right. I think my mood is swinging. I could not sleep last night for hours because my mind was so intense. I ended up downloading 16 book samples in 20 min. I couldn't stop book shopping. I'm still going - on and … Continue reading Under the Weather
I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Last night I deleted my longest standing Instagram account. I have had it for at least 10 years. It was a record of my life. I decided I don't want to share my life on Instagram anymore. I kept my art account, as well as the account where I network dogs. But my days of … Continue reading I Deleted my Writing/Personal Instagram
Excellent, Creative Novel
Raptor Red is the story of a Utahraptor. It's scientifically rich, wildly imaginative, very heart stirring, and super unique. It's an entire novel told from the perspective of a female Utahraptor. Raptor Red is her name. The author truly drew me in not only with the fantastic premise, but with character development that made me … Continue reading Excellent, Creative Novel
