eventually I will get it

Just figured out where the comments are. yeah....

Pumpkin carving 2

And here they are, the finished pumpkins of 2008. It was harder then we thought but we did our best. Jen is on the right and I am on the left. It was frustrating but fun. I may have gotten a little to competitive because I was being real pissy when Jen asked for help. anyway......I just realized that I have comments and I don't know how to get back to them to check them again. If any of you feel ignored it is because I had no idea you left a comment. I don't even know how to write back or comment or whatever it is called on here. Sorry. But thanks for the support. And yes Second Storie is a great way to finish the week even though I did it on Monday.

Can't wait. Uno

pumpkin carving

Just finished up carving pumpkins with Jen. We did self portraits this year and I will post some images tomorrow when they are finished. 3 hours was enough tonight. Part time starts next week and I can't wait. Goodnight.

the usual rochester day

I woke up to another wonderful day of gray today. I will follow that up with getting breakfast with Jen at Jim's Restaurant and then off to work at 3. yay. Sunday should be a little better and perfect for football and possibly some last minute yard work to end the season. Pretty boring yeah I know but thats what I have for now.

haha

haha I have no followers.

raking leaves

I came home from work today knowing that I had to rake the leaves in the yard. Although the yard is small I still hate raking leaves. It had to be done though so I could cut the grass. My neighbor told me to just mulch the leaves with the lawnmower. Last time I did that the snow melted in the spring and there was chopped leaves everywhere and grass didn't grow in certain areas. So I will rake them up. Leaf pick up for my area is not until Nov. 23, what's up with that?! The alumni show opens tomorrow at 4 at SUNY Brockport. I may go to the studio afterwards. Perhaps dinner at my parents?? hmmm Maybe a beer at C n S Saloon. We shall see. One.

finished

I finished the painting I have been working on 2 nights ago. I was extremely frustrated with it and followed some good advice to just leave the studio and come back to it another time. I went home and ate dinner with Jen and she volunteered to take a look at the painting after dinner. We went to the studio around 9 ("another time" to me meant about 45mins). She said the area of problem was better but she was still not convinced. In a split second I realized instead of reworking with a new image over the area, bring out what was already there. I painted a white m and t, that was all it needed. I delivered my work today and feel relieved to have it done. The SUNY Brockport alumni show opens on the 21st from 4 to 6pm. The exhibition runs through Dec. 7. I was seriously obsessed with this painting. I may have to hang it this weekend. My brother went to Granada today to look at school and find apartment. I will pick him up Sunday at the airport. That's all folks.
