As per usual, there is a sale going on over at Society 6 and a new piece! Not the Matt Steady piece, more on that in a bit. The link is going to take you directly to Canvas Prints, but the piece is on a ton of different products, something for everyone! So make sure you take advantage of the sale while it lasts!
In arty art news...which will mainly be me trying to work on the piece from Matt Steady's new album Here Be Dragons. I have a piece going...and boy is it goofy. It really doesn't embody the album at all. So back to the blank canvas I go. I just don't like where the piece is going at all. I did at first...but then the thoughts started...and there were a lot of them...do the pro/con thing and the cons won, so I want to scrub the goofy out of my noggin' because the album is not goofy...I just was in a goofy mood. I blame lack of sleep. It tends to either make me goofy or a meanie pants. I do recommend you go and take a listen to Here Be Dragons...or buy it on the link provided or Google Play. Either way, I really love the album...and I've been listening to it a lot. My Noggin beasties are just misbehaving! That and the motivation is still not at optimum functionality. Look at me using big words!
In other news...the plague has befallen our home again! The hubby is sounding super sexy with his raspy voice of plague ridden blech. I'm really hoping I make my dodge roll because we have a game session coming up and I cannot be sick for it. Usually the hubby is a burning inferno...I was warmer than he was...what?!?!?! I admit, even last year...when he got the plague I would be a total bitch...I am a germ-a-phobe and sick would make me just so worried about me getting sick that I would not be mindful. This year, I have had a shift in thinking. I still don't want to get sick...I am horrible when I get sick and it lingers forever...but that being said, I had an epiphany of sorts of well I've been exposed and if I am going to get the plague I'm going to get it. I can only take care of him, and take care of myself to prevent the plague. I'm on full disinfect mode and making sure I am getting enough rest, exercise, eating well. So far, I'm feeling run down, but I have been for awhile now...comes with the being me territory.
In mindful news, I wasn't feeling like I was doing anything good. It is a story that I don't want to get into details with but I was frustrated with another human. I was really struggling to be mindful. Then another epiphany of sorts...being mindful does not equate to being a doormat. I got my mojo back. I think I grew a little as a human...the realization that not everyday is going to be a huge step...or even a step. I am still growing on a personal level and having these epiphanies of sorts. The personal level is more working out and just rocking my day. The only thing I don't feel I'm really rocking is the arting. The motivation is not there, it has grown since last time...but not where I want it to be. Forcing it would just be silly and very counterproductive. I will end up giving myself a block. I am trying to let it come back organically and it has been, just not at my go, go, go, now, now, now pace.
The last little bit of news...is it's a Dad Day week! YAY! I'm happy about that. I'm not sure what is in store for us. I know that it's bitter ass cold outside. I usually like the winter...not liking having an extreme cold warning! It's even cold in here...and that's a very, very rare thing. Usually we are burning up and have a window cracked. Oh hell no! As I've said before I was struggling a bit this year with the shorter days...this is the first time we've gotten snow that stuck and the bitter cold on top of it. The snow was peaceful except the worry that the hubby was driving in it. The cold, nope. There is cold and then there's this...which is nope. I accept that we get this every year, but that doesn't mean I have to like the super duper cold. If I had nuts they'd have frozen off by now. I think I may be morphing into a spring/summer gal again. Time will tell.
On that note minions...a little rants in my pants...remember a sale on Society 6 and be sure to check out Matt Steady's music. It's all really good, in my humble opinion! Until next time minions, stay warm and be well.
