Panera!

Panera is where I have been using the internet the last couple of days.

I ordered an ice latte yesterday and the lady looked at me like I had just asked her for a cup of dog food. She had no idea what I was asking for. She asked, "You mean an iced chai tea?"

So I had to kinda explain it to her...

Other than that their sandwiches are pretty good.

So yeah, Portland still looks like it's not going to happen. Things have been a little slow in the Etsy world lately and tickets are getting unbelievably expensive....

In other news, we get our screen printing equipment on Monday!!!
I am so excited. Also, today while taking out the trash I noticed a heap of silk screens in the dumpster!! One of the pluses of living in an apartment building full of other artists is the amazing amount of stuff you can find in the dumpster. :) So brave Micheal jumped in and saved 7 screens that hadn't even been used yet! What a great find.

So maybe, just maybe, this screen printing thing will be a total smash hit and I will become a millionaire over night and be able to fly to Portland as planned after all :)

Hope everyone is having a good Friday, and have a good weekend.

No Internets

So my neighbors whom we shared the internet moved yesterday...

That means no internets until the Comcast guy comes out and sets up the new connection. I have no idea when that is going to happen, so until then I can check my e-mail about once a day at a coffee place...

Hopefully it will happen by Friday, but I am not getting my hopes up about that.

I think this might be a good thing.
I am a little addicted to the internet, so maybe this way I can get more work done.
Or I could totally loose my mind.

It doesn't look like I will be able to go to Portland this summer after all. We were looking at tickets the other night and there is no way we can afford to go...

I am trying not to get upset...but this is hard.

In other news, it's a beautiful day here and I really want to be outside enjoying it.

Snow.

It snowed today.
Seriously.

Other than that I have had a terrific day.

Very productive.

I went to the gym for the first time in weeks. My body is going to hate me tomorrow. I did stay far away from the CrunchMaster 3000. I'd like to be able to move tomorrow.

So I tried my hand at block printing today. It's funny to think that I have a degree in Printmaking and have never really made a block print. I was more concerned with mastering my drypoint skills, which I did.

I also started to work on some new panels. Getting them prepped for painting. Hopefully I can start one tomorrow. The one panel has a pretty thick cradle. Michael used some scrap wood and thought it looked cool. I dunno, I guess we'll see how it turns out.

I would like to finish my block print tonight. If I can manage to stay of the internet tonight, I should be able to. I am so addicted. I think I might need an intervention....
