My new favorite Pinterest board!
I painted today. Sure, I went to Weight Watchers and lost 0.6 lbs, but mostly I painted. And Face Timed with my nephew. And painted.
I still hate the bear painting (which still doesn’t have a bear), but perhaps less than I hated it last week? This time I added buildings and telephone polls and globby cars and a very snowy-looking road.

The receding red car kinda looks like a Hummer, or a low-flying UFO. And I crossed my streetlights above that red roof. Oops. And no, I have no idea what the blue stuff is behind the green car. I was trying to imply other cars, but it didn’t really work out.
Bah, humbug.
Yeesh! All the late nights this week caught up to me today–slept until eleven, had breakfast, then took a nap before my 2pm appointment. I don’t think it was enough, ’cause it felt like the walk across the parking lot was 20 miles instead of, you know, a parking lot. Then the Coffee Bean gave me a regular latte instead of vanilla, so that happened. Blech.
But at least I got in some practice at the pool hall after my appointment, which was necessary since I’d missed league this week thanks to excessive working. I practiced draw shots and shots on balls frozen on the rail (which I used to be good at, but have been sucking mightily at lately).
Mostly I’m just happy to be home, chilling on the couch and watching more of Lost Girl. (Don’t judge me.)
Thank gawd it’s only Friday!
Today we launched the redesign of our company’s blog: The Iris
I was just a small part of the team that put this together (and at least a month early, I might add), but in the past two days the labor pains were killer for us all. So glad it’s out the door and ready for more upgrades next week. 😀
At work, QAing our latest project and adding more tasks to our developer’s to do list. It’s freezing here, but I have my hot chocolate to keep my hands warm.
Last night I played Mah Jonng for the first time. Easy enough game, but very complicated sets–my brain is still spinning a bit. Looking forward to playing it again, though.
That’s pretty much all I have for today. Here, have a picture of Jack!
