I Got Nothin’

I did not win $150million.

I spent the morning learning how to launch an online business idea and laying down some more ideas to add to the online challenge that I’m planning.

It’s bloody slow going, but I’m letting it flow naturally. It will happen when it happens, but I’d like it to come to fruition before the end of 2020.

Meanwhile I’d like my health classes at The Happy Abode to start at the beginning of 2020 and those classes will be like quality control with participants helping hone the information that will go online.

Adoring Husband and I ate our takeaway lunch in the pool area today. I went up to my thighs in the water and seriously considered going for a swim, but chickened out. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours before getting into the art mood,

I created a piece for an art group challenge entitled ‘Fire and Ice”

I didn’t like this one ...

... so I changed it to this ...

I’ve got some ideas for tomorrow, so watch this space.

I was happy with the outcome of The Bachelor tonight. Yes! I watch it religiously!

In case you were wondering, I was feeling very much under the weather last night, which is why I missed doing the blog post.

I had only slept for two hours on Tuesday night and then I worked on Wednesday. I think the lack of sleep caught up with me and I was asleep by 8.30pm.

Now it’s 10.30pm and I’m off to bed again!

Nite all.

Bath Not Art

Morning coffee with the girls was a bit light on today.

At 9.15am, The Motivator and I were joined by The Welsh Wonder. There were just the three of us for 30 minutes and The Blonde Bombshell appeared with a container full of delicious slice. It was delicious!

It was also nice to catch up with TBB because she hasn’t been able to attend coffee for some time.

We certainly missed The Brains Trust, Lady Lynn and Beauty who all shared a movie date and the other girls, Maid Marian and Aggie who are on Grandparent duties.

I don’t know what time it was when I left the shop, but I rode the long way home and wished I had my camera with me ...

... when I arrived home, my first duty was to give psychotic dog Ruby a haircut and bath. I still haven’t clipped her claws, but that’s a job for another day.

After that, I did some cleaning in the studio.

I cooked up some lunch and then ran out of energy, so I parked my butt on the couch and that’s where I stayed until it was time to prepare dinner.

Adoring Husband cooked our steaks on the barbecue while I prepared the salad.

Done.

I’ll be working tomorrow so I’ll be attending early meditation. Best get some sleep.

Nite all.

All About Art

Thats what today was all about.

I had the opportunity to go into The Bay with Adoring Husband, but as you know, I had some ideas for art projects today and I didn’t want to waste any creative time.

My first project went according to plan and I’m happy with my first sunflower ...

...but I will definitely practice some more. I can imagine BIG sunflowers on BIG canvases. I can also picture a triptych with three different coloured flowers - maybe deep red, orange and yellow.

My second project did NOT go according to plan and I covered it with greens and blues and used a straw to blow it out. I’m not happy with it, but it’s done on an elcheapo canvas from Kmart, so it’s no great loss.

By the third project, I fell back on something that I know and love with some colourful flowers in a garden. It’s nothing special but it’s acceptable.

The water in the pool is still too cold for swimming.

I’m dreaming of our new bed now, thinking about culling some shoes in the bedroom spring clean and imagining how fabulous it will all look when the suite finally arrives.

For now, I’m off to bed so I can be fresh for some more art tomorrow!

Nite all.

It’s a Gift

What a beautiful day!

I posted these photos on my Facebook page and nobody notice the strange looking fin in the water (middle pic). I didn't notice it when I took the photo either!

We ate at Whale Bay Asian Cuisine.

The ladies lunches have been held at this restaurant a couple of times, but I was unable to attend, so this was our first experience there. They had good GF options and the atmosphere was lovely. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. We’ll return in the future.

Adoring Husband decided, on the way home, to stop at a bed sale.

Our current bed is 16 years old and AH’s side has such a bad slope, I'm surprised that he hasn't fallen out of bed yet!

So we found a really nice bedroom suite in a beachy style washed timber. It was 30% off and has a king bed frame with a bed head (I realised today that I have never in my life had a bed head!), two side tables and a tall boy. Then we selected a king sized mattress at 50% off.

There was no second guessing and it just felt right. It'll be about 6 weeks before we get it so that's plenty of time to clear out our bedroom, take the tree decal off the wall and wash the walls and remove my 600 pairs of shoes from the room.

See those big drawers at the end of the bed? Maybe my shoes will fit in there??? I may have to do some culling.

This afternoon we watched my team get annihilated by Parramatta in the biggest final's loss in NRL history. Shameful and embarrassing. 

I have a couple of ideas for some art tomorrow. I'm tempted to stay up late tonight and try one of them, but both will take a bit more time than my usual methods, so I need to be clear headed and well rested.

So, I'm off to bed now!

Nite all.
