All the pressure put on this one day...not that long after the major gift giving holiday's is just PFFT. I think the guys' get more pressure than us gals, but still...what the hell?! So commercialized...if you haven't noticed, we don't really celebrate a day where you have to buy something to prove you love the other person. What can I say, we're cheap. Today is like any other day in this crazy household. Except I get to do a special Valentine's Day cleaning of the apartment...because it falls on the day I normally do the cleaning. Maybe I'll stick a pink post-it on my vacuum cleaner and get all festive! I just think it's too much pressure...and the real history behind said day, isn't really mooshy and lovey dovey. Then we (a few of the Provinces at least) get a made up holiday...
That's right...tomorrow is Family Day! This is a newly invented holiday because well, the powers that be said hmmm we don't have a holiday in February, let's make one up...make it a Stat. holiday...it reminds me of Civic Day...yup for those non-Canadians, that's the name of the holiday that falls in August. It cracks me up. I love that we, as a country, just make up holidays in the months' that lack the holidays...another reason to drink beer and light off fireworks. Seriously. Most all of the stores are closed, that I could see...so for me it just means pushing the grocery trip back a day, which ruffles my feathers. I like my schedule, my routine...it makes me happy.
Speaking of change of schedule...I am going to be updating now on Wednesday's. Did you notice the ever so smooth segue there? Smooth like broken glass. Really, though. I am going to change the update days...another mad experiment in my crazy world of art. It's been Friday from the start...when I was under Cosmic Cow Creations. It's time for a bit of a change. Yes, there is a logical reason behind it. No, I will not bore you with said reasons...HEY!! I see that look of relief!!! Knock it off, or I will explain the reasons...and other reasons...the reasons behind reasoning. That's better.
I am about to start my third traditional piece today...I've spent the last couple, sketching in the sketchbook...trying to get the ideas out...in the way I want to present them. No easy task, my minions. I have the one part very solidly sketched...the other part is almost there...not quite up to snuff. Where did that saying ever come from. Hold on a sec, I need to write that down to google it later. I just learned last year what "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" was all about. Seriously. I am a city girl, despite a stint in the country. Okay, I paused and looked up to snuff up...it's interesting, you should google it. Then you can say that this blog was actually educational and not just the mind fodder that it usually is. I am broadening horizons one twisted mind at a time. I digress, I cannot wait to start this 3rd piece...it's technically the 4th, but since the original 3rd was looking too much like the first two, I decided to scrap it...or set it aside...for later...or perhaps never. I have that power...MUHAHAHHA!...and back to reality...of sorts.
Well my minions...I will see you on Wednesday, unless a sudden burst of the rants, or inspiration smacks me upside the head and I decide blog before then.
