good morning you fabulous peeps!....i hope yall are having a wonderful day! it's terrific tuesday!!!........so some posts ago, i brought up the whole frozen blueberry thing.......well let me explain....cause it's really a toast to all southern women and their inescapable charm ....... my mom is an extremely independent person.....did i emphasize extremely??........so i was at my moms house, i guess i had been doing stuff for her, following her around the yard, filling bird feeders, running from wasps, etc...........you see my mom will call and ask if myself or the evil older sister can help her do yard work or house work that she says she can't do.......the bratty baby brother gets away with alot cause he lives so far away, until he comes to visit....then it's his turn...we save the big jobs for him....anything involving getting up on the roof for instance.........so some years ago i was helping my mom or better yet following her around while she does the stuff....i'm not kidding, my mom will call and say " i need the yard mowed and some plants dug up"...i get there, and she has already done it...it's this back and forth of my mom and her independent ways saying "i don't need anybody, but, i really might need somebody"......so now she has to find something to keep me occupied....cause i get into too much trouble on my own.....so i follow her around the yard and pick up tools or move something from here to there....she exhausts me....she has more energy than anyone i know..........when i do yard work at my house, i'll start something with great intent on finishing, then realize, yeah 3 hours was more like an all day project, so i'll leave stuff where it is so i can finish it up the next day........not my mom.....everything has to be put back where it belongs....which explains why her house is so neat and mine is ....well...lived in............. so its one of these weekends that i'm following my mom around, we get everything picked up and then head inside to just relax...............i'm not lying...well i'm laying...ha ha...on the couch when my mom comes in from the kitchen and hands me a bag of frozen blueberries, and says something about her and my aunt picked them and she hopes i'll enjoy them...then leaves the room...................what?..........so here i am with a bag of frozen blueberries, looking around the room in a daze as if..... what am i supposed to do...these are frozen ...they are going to unfreeze if i don't get home.....and it's a big bag of blueberries....does this mean its time for me to go???......i'm so confused? .......so i get up and tell my mom i'm heading home, and she tells me, " oh your'e going so soon...ok ...bye now" ..........i'm dazed and confused.... yes, i was the first to receive the frozen blueberries......but not the last....many others have been privy to the frozen blueberry au revior......i have even looked in her freezer for these blueberries and they are nowhere to be found......i don't know where she keeps them, but she can make them magically appear, which then makes you magically disappear........so my awe and praise to southern women who have the nicest way of having you decide to do something that they have already decided for you to do, but you don't even realize that they have decided for you to do what you're going to do till after you've done it....i know, right?...... and then you become....dazed and confused.....yep, you've just been blueberried..... have a groovy day!

good morning all you fabulous people....doing all your fabulous things.....accomplishing your fabulous goals!!!.....and my goals?....well.... i'm thinking that getting things streamlined starts with a ton of chaos.........so the closest i've come to being slightly streamlined is my instagram.....and not all of it...oh no, just the hash tags...ha ha....i wrote them up and put them in my notes so now all i have to do is copy and paste...........
so back in the day....probably should be more specific on when back in the day was........i think everyone has a "back in the day" now.......well it wouldn't be "now"... it would be "then".......but anyway back in the 60's, when your teacher said to copy something, it was putting paper on top of something to draw the design underneath it....... sometimes you'd have to copy with the help of a window, with the picture under the paper on the window so you could see through it..and the paper would keep slipping down so you'd have to keep re-adjusting....alot of hand eye coordination going on there.......and then to paste something you would get this big glob of white paste on a stick that you would slop on the picture but the glue was never smooth so you always had lumps in your paper and then you would try to smooth them out with your hands and rip your paper.....good times...........yes well, hash tags.....what an odd name, i wonder if whoever thought of that name was from the 60's.....no reason......................anyway that's a big help.....now just have to go after the million other things that need streamlined...........one thing at a time........yes it can be done! (big time voice effects on that!!!) so i've been focusing on 3 social media things....facebook, instagram, and well my website....not sure if a website is social media?......anyway, i have added 1 more.....wescover....it's this site that shows artistic things in context...(i linked that to my site by the way).....like what is around it, what's on the wall with it, etc....and tells you who created it and where you can find other stuff by that person...........so if maybe you are at a hotel and you see this great purple couch with silver llamas.... and your'e like, "where did they get this , i need one".....go on wescover and it might be there, or i think you can send suggestions in and they find the creator and reach out to them.....that's what they did with me.......last year they saw a post from someone about a mural i did and they contacted me......pretty groovy....super easy site to set up.....i just plugged my info in and they made it beautiful..........so yeah.......now it's 4 social media sites to keep up with.............once again, i need to streamline..........and yall keep up the good work and smooth out those lumps !!....be groovy! |
