Hope the 'weirdness' is over!

This past week has been just 'weird'....

I'm not really sure why.

I've felt weird...weird things have been happening...

(just small weird things...like my Facebook updates 'disappearing'...

but then, later

reappearing...

my computer's done a few weird things it's never done before...

business has been....well...'weird'....

just things 'out of the norm'...)

But...they kind of 

'throw me off my game'

a bit...

and then I stand there wondering

"what in the world is going on".

Anyway....I do hope it is all

'finally' over....at least for a bit.

I'm waiting to find out some test results for

my oldest daughter, Wendy....

typical of the week I've had...

so...yeah...I hope the 'weirdness' is over.

My House is 'Trashed'

Okay...this isn't really my house...

they have tons of photos on the internet under

'messy house pictures' ... who knew?

My house isn't really this bad

but...it's still pretty messy.

I've been painting all week...

and not cleaning up after myself...

which always means my house is going to get 'trashed'.

I'd like to say the mess was why I'm not painting

as much as I used to...except...

when I was on eBay...listing new paintings everyday...

I lived in a two bedroom apartment..

with my youngest son and a very sick husband..

and I still managed to paint everyday...

and clean up my mess!

Hopefully I'm not getting...lazy!!

So many things going...all at the Same Time.

I have got soooo many things going...
all at the same time...

I wished I were a bit more organized.

I've set a 'goal' of the number of original paintings I want to

keep in my

Rustic Goth Etsy Shop 

and I'm close to reaching that goal...

the trick will be..

keeping that number.

Obviously I want Need to sell those paintings...

so

I've got to always keep new ones working.

Now...I've decided to include...

'portable art'

in my shop.

I'm working on abstract paintings....

I really have 'missed' doing those...

but I'm rather messy...

I 'lost' my studio to my youngest son

a couple of years ago...

so I have to do my abstract paintings...

outside...

needless to say..

my time is very limited...and depends so much on what

the weather is doing.

I'm also working on some new pieces to add to merchandise in

my Zazzle Shops...

I'm pretty sure I have many other things going 

I just can't remember them all right now.

Thank goodness for my little 'list' keeper.

Going Weekly...

I tend to spend the summer months...

experimenting and coming up with new pieces

for my Etsy Shop.

It's a good time too...for designing new pieces

for my Zazzle Shop

and my other sites.

I just take my time...so that I don't feel too much

pressure to create...working at my own pace.

Because so much time is spent

in experimentation...

and I tend not to reveal my experiments

until I am happy with them...

so there's not as much to

'talk about'.

So...for the time being...I'm going to scale this blog

back to 'weekly' posts.

I'd already gone to twice weekly..

since I don't spend as much time on my

CMZ Art creations as I do on the Rustic Goth creations...

and because of this...

I just don't have as much

to say.

Getting Back to 'Normal'

Every holiday that ends up in

a multi-day celebration...

like a long 4th of July week-end...

it takes me several days to get things

back to 'normal'.

I LOVE doing something outside of my 

regular routine 

on occasion...

I don't think about anything 'work' related..

I just enjoy spending time with family

and doing whatever it is that we've chosen to do...

to 'celebrate' whichever holiday we're celebrating..

and the things that take us out of our normal

routines of work..worrying over the bills...and the day to day

grind that we each have to deal with

in our own ways.

It's fun just to 'unwind' and laugh and enjoy one another!

Heck...I don't even mind my house getting 'trashed'...at the time!

I end up spending a day or two getting it back...

to what it was before...

but I really don't mind.

So...now I'm getting things back to 'normal'...

cleaning...

working..

watching the same TV programs..

and everything that goes with my day to day life.

That's good too...as boring as it might sound to some folks...

I enjoy what I do...

Happy 4th of July!!

Hope everyone is enjoying a 

Wonderful...

Fun

and 

Safe

Independence Day!!
