My work had a certain trajectory and pace, once. I interrupted that when we decided that relocating to North Carolina made sense in 2014 (huge mistake, but it's done and I'm back in Vermont. *deep breaths*) As soon as we said "Go", everything destabilized in my world. It's little stuff from having things where you… Continue reading A Little Paint

I'm a professional visual artist, daydreamer, chocoholic, and I try to tell myself that fitness is my hobby.
A Different Fairytale
I almost never get into talking politics, current issues, or something else controversial on my blogs. The reason for that is that even 10-20ish years ago (lordy, I've been at this a long time; I used to BBS in 1990, run boards on AOL and stuff later, I'm THAT much of a nerd) if you… Continue reading A Different Fairytale
House Crazy-Land
As I mentioned in my previous post, we're in the midst of a major remodeling phase. There are a lot of things to fix in this house, but one of the biggest was the kitchen. I'm going to post photos, but the truth is that you just cannot comprehend how poorly this kitchen was laid… Continue reading House Crazy-Land
Yep, Still Alive
Ok, to be completely honest I did NOT forget that I have a blog this time. I actually sat down to write, many times. Instead of completing a post I could publish, I found myself overwhelmed and negative, and just deleting the whole thing. It's just been... a lot. Not all negative or anything, but… Continue reading Yep, Still Alive
Early Onset… something
I feel that I have to channel my daughter when I say this... "People, I legit forgot I had a blog." Yes, really. I"m 44, but I'm starting to wonder if I need to go get checked out or something. I was even at my computer last night, messing around during some rare free-time, and… Continue reading Early Onset… something
Renovation Overwhelm
There is a lie that we often tell ourselves that if we had the means to buy this or that, things would be better. It's the same lie every single person tells themselves when they buy a lottery ticket. I'm not saying I have anything against buying a lottery ticket, mind you, because I love… Continue reading Renovation Overwhelm
Silenced
"Parched" 8x10, acrylic on canvas (sold) I was recovering from being ill this past week, but that wasn't the reason I didn't post. I actually had a post all typed out and ready to go, and yet I didn't. The reason for this is that I'm back to the old place of trying to find… Continue reading Silenced
Chocolate, Art and Life (Who Am I?)
Traditionally when you start up a blog, introductions are in order. Back in the day, I was a 20-something, then a 30-something blogger, and now I'm 44. I'm over the "something" part, I'm 44. I feel like "something" added some sort of hidden dread of getting older. As if that would somehow stave it all… Continue reading Chocolate, Art and Life (Who Am I?)
Here I go Again
Just the other day, an old blogging friend of mine spoke up about restarting his old blog. Like me, he had a blog he updated regularly that was popular, and yet as time passed he eventually shut it down. I actually had two that did well (one after the other) and eventually shut them all… Continue reading Here I go Again
