'   money money money money....money.....the necessary evil......aaarrrrggghhhh......................
so ive been working on how to price originals and prints.....while normally i would think what could i afford?..but i guess if you are in business for yourself you have to think of other things besides what would i pay for a painting?!.....so that's where my fabulous husband who gets the finance part of business comes in....he can watch shark tank and immediately say what stuff is worth and why they priced it the price they priced it at, etc.................what i get when i watch shark tank is.....wow thats a really groovy colour........i really try to get money...well not "get" money ha ha, but get the concept of money....which i do not get.................my husband tries to help me understand it...shiny object....he gives me other ways of looking at things....squirrel....he would draw up charts and graphs if it would help....did a post it just fall......the tv is not on...i'm a tv zombie... i'm focused right on him....and beside him....and above him....and behind him.....but nothing......i feel that God made me with a funnel and slide in my brain.......some stuff funnels in...colours, creative-ness, shiny objects, imagination.....and other stuff slides right on out.....it's a really fast slide too....one that has super slick sliding ability (wow say that 3 x's fast)........so what goes sliding out is  anything to do with numbers.....and letters imitating numbers
        when i was in high school i had an algebra teacher....i know , you're thinking "what, just say no"......if i could of i would of.......but anyway...for me to graduate i had to pass algebra 1, yeah back in the day you didn't need a billion different "ometries" to graduate....or i'd probably still be there.......well i don't know about you, but how do i even make algebra work in my real life???!!!....so anyway i badgered that poor teacher...who was sooooo smart he couldn't explain it down to my level which was below C level...(ha ha i made a funny)....anyway......about everything i didn't understand....which was everything in algebra 1..... why C = Z or why ABC <KLJ...and on and on and on, blah blah blah...............he seemed to lose hair as the year went on.... and  he developed a very bad habit of biting his nails to the quick, and would incessantly bang his head against the desk when i came in the room..........i believe he gave me a D- and that was with a major curve just to get me out of his class.............i hear he lives on a deserted island in the arctic and rambles on about squirrels......curious man....
         uuuggghhh  we're back to money again.....yes i'm prostrate on the floor, typing with one hand.............................i'm gonna go paint....i'll be right back................and you can be left front....ha ha...that never gets old
