Yeah, that's true! what's your favorite painting of all time?

Hmmm.....you know, there isn't "one." It's kind of like what happened to me with poetry. I used to search and search for the perfect poem, so when I found it I could memorize it and have it. Then I met a friend who loved poetry even more than I did. He read VOLUMES of poems, like he was swimming in it. He'd read through a book of poems and savor that view of the world you get into, liking a line here, a phrase there, a feeling created, never latching onto just one poem. Does that make sense? It's the way of viewing the world that I love about creative painters, and their handling of the paint......and I see new things each time I look at their art... it's that mode, more than the end product that I love.

Sorry, that was a long answer that probably wasn't an answer!

I'll be back in a bit

No, that's a good answer:)

My poor kitty was so scared! Hopefully those shots won't make her sick. I gave her a dish of milk!

When do your parents get back, Blossom?

That was quick! Did you get to go in with her? they get home tonight.

It was quick, thankfully. Yes I was there through it all. I didn't tell her she was a big brave dog, because, well, you can't say that to a cat, but I did tell her she was very brave.

How are you doing with their coming home? You've been very courageous yourself, you know!!!!!!!!

Ha!

I dunno how I feel about it. I'm trying to not think too much about it!!! I need to tidy thy whole house before they get home...big mess...

Oh, I have to tidy too!!!!!! (I have company coming next week). We need star to get us motivated.....star are you good at cleaning? Is it a left brained thing?

I don't know if it's a left brained thing or not but I hate cleaning!

I hate cleaning too:( maybe I could just leave the house messy and run away...

Darn, there goes my theory!! Sometimes it helps putting some music on. Has anyone found anything that helps?

If I was closer I would come help you

For me it just takes getting started, as soon as I force myself to do it, than I could go for hours, tearing apart everything

yeah music helps...sometimes. i don't think I've found anything else that helps...although sometimes I pay my sister to tidy my room for me....

Ha Ha!! Could you pay your cousin?

Star, you're probably right. Malign told me that it takes doing 3 things toward your goal, and then there will be an avalanche of motivation. When I tried it, it worked.

I'm going to try to do 3 things....

Yeah, my room is horrible right now! And I just stare at it but if I could just force myself to start going through my clothes I wouldn't stop until the whole room was spotless, but yeah I don't see myself taking the first step any time soon

so far I've eaten some chocolate...

is that your first thing?

so far I've eaten ice-cream...

I don't think that counts:p

I've rolled out the vacuum cleaner.... that doesn't count yet either.

How about we just leave everything messy and call it art?

, yes I've got a Jackson Pollock floor, how about you?

I have a Blossom floor.....not lookin so good:)

I'm vaaaaacuuuuuming the Pollock off my floor!

my blossom picture won't work:(
