If Carbs were Kittens...

My hair-dresser- THOMAS is Fab-u-lous!

So last night- Thomas the husband bunny- took the time to highlight my hair for me! Indeed... a truly patient bunny he is.
Not only did he do this- he was the one who actually suggested I try this method of color enhancer~ haaa!
So I sat on the floor and he sat behind me on the couch as we watched TV and he pulled that hair though the cab- very Retro style for sure.
Then he helped to put on the bleach and I waited. I honestly was surprised that my hair actually managed to change colors as I have truly put it through so much lately.

Sure enough in about 40 minutes it was done.
Now- I have not only very bright highlights but I also have a lot of variety of other tones too.
I am thrilled to have a very brave and willing husband...

One of the most cherished things I own- I can not hold in my hands. I can't even see it with my eyes.

But I can hear it. Over and over again if I like... and best of all...
I can... Feel it.

This file- is the only recording I have of my Mother's voice.

I found it on my phone at work.
She would call when I was not there and leave me messages.

Always to tell me how much she loved me.

I have waited to share it with you... although- I still have a very hard time listening to it.
I am happy that I can share this with you... for I had the most wonderful mother...

(These three messages where send from late August and until Late December... She knew she was sick and by the last message she was... not well- but still called all the time...)

I know nothing... haaaa~

Good morning~
Here is it- Wednesday already. Feels strange to think that this time last week I was heading out to Virgina to teach at Art & Soul.
Ahhh time- how quickly it passes.

It is a beautiful Spring morning here in Baltimore. So much so- that Thomas thought it would be a smashing idea to ride the scooter into work. I hopped on the back and away we went. We navigated a route though the City, passing through old neighborhoods, seeing school kids walking to work, birds flying from lawn to lawn, and the feeling of the morning breeze against my skin. The pace was nice and relaxed. We arrived safe and sound.

Lately... I must confess, I have been feeling a little "off". Something is sort of different. I kind of feel a heavy heart I suppose. I think of it as not necessarily depressed, upset or sad, rather I feel a longing. I need to shake off the heaviness of winter. I feel the need to break-free of the same old routine of work and art and stretch myself. To Challenge myself more. I am itching to clean and rearrange. All of which I can see is very normal for this time of the year. Yes...When I think about it- I realize that it is all very normal and seasonal.

So is change needed? Indeed it is... and that is why THOMAS is going to do my hair tonight~! Haahaa~ yes... that is right. He is going to help me with giving me some simple highlights. He seemed very happy to indulge me. In fact he suggested this process! And so tonight, we shall attempt to give me a halo of light to match my saintly nature- Hahahah!

Thursday is Rotating Sushi night again in Towson-YUM!

I think on Friday- I will venture out to have coffee and set myself a list of things I need to work on and things I need to accomplish... there are a bunch of things coming up that need attention. I REALLY enjoy focusing like this- making an itinerary- taking time to sit and focus. Reminds me of the times when I was teaching and would go out and sit and plan out my syllabus. THAT is what I need to do with myself. I need to set myself a plan of action. I am looking ahead at lots of vending and teaching. My summer is going to be a busy one. After that (and perhaps a sour cherry scone -which I have been craving like mad lately) I am going to go out and look for a few odds and ends at the Goodwill and the Salvation army. Then I shall settle in and get to work in my studio and dig in. Later is Dinner with Jason and Lisa- it has been SO long.

Saturday night I am having dinner with My dad, brother and wife- downtown. In my downtime- I suspect I shall be spending in the studio... working on things.
Sunday? Brunch as usual- at Einsteins as I love and look forward too...

Anyway- Thank you for peeking in on me.
More fun photos soon-
XxooxX
