Rambling to myself

I’m so wimpy about cold weather…..it’s about 30 degrees for the high in Indy and it’s upper 50’s here in Charlotte….and I’m STILL freezing my tush off! :P

I’ve meant to blog over the past couple of days but the days have really flown by since last Wednesday.

I have to start with my thoughts on the finale of PR….I was really pleasantly surprised with the ending. I was not really rooting for Jeffrey (the winner) at all, but ended up being pretty happy for him. When the runway shows were finally televised, it was Uli that I was swept away by!…..Her style was really refined but with her sense of whimsy and flare for color. I thought I would have been rooting for Laura but it really was kind of a let down….mind you I’d wear her stuff in a minute….but in the spirit of what Project Runway is about “finding the new American fashion designer” her pieces were awesome, but they were not totally innovative. Michael, was a complete let down….but he’s still going to be a huge success. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I’m counting the days til the next season is here….but I have a feeling that will be a loooong way aways. Now, I’m stuck with America’s Next Top Model for my fashion inspiration.

Last weekend was kind of a bust in that we were supposed to go to the Martinsville race with pit and garage passes, but our connection fell through….I guess you have to be approved by NASCAR 14 days in advance of the race to have those kinds of credentials….they even do some sort of a background check for security purposes ala life after 9-eleven. I’m not a huge NASCAR fan myself, but going to Martinsville, Virginia would have been a fun experience!

So, instead we did some mini road trips around rural Charlotte and ran into another LAME flea market. What the heck is up with this state??? I thought for sure I would run into junk yard heaven here because of all the farmland and old homes around. UGH….that’s one thing I’m missing about Indy is my old thrift store, junk store and flea market haunts!

I doodled a lot too and ended up creating something in the ACEO format I liked enough to put up for

auction

tonight. I had a hard time putting a title to it….hopefully this one will sell for a higher amount than the last one! I’m beginning to wonder how I’m going to pull off being a full time artist….
