I want to be alone...

So, I'm house sitting for my friend Nancy. She has this big house in Edmonds and has recently had her upstairs remodeled. It is beautiful! I did some cleaning yesterday when I got here because her entire household was sick over the holidays... It kept me busy which was nice. It would be nice to have a house someday - but in reality I don't think it's going to feasible because how much can one make as an artist/legal temp?

Onto other things. I've been having a hard time staying up in the evenings. Last night I think I made it until 8:30 before I fell asleep on the sofa. I woke up at 9:30 to go to bed and this morning I was up at 5:30. I guess there are worse things that could be going on. I just have to figure out how I can stay up until midnight on New Years Eve. I suppose I don't have to stay up until midnight but it would be fun.

Today we are having a family get together - hey, I could take pictures of Hamilton Family feet! I have to get more batteries for my camera. This is exciting!

Do I really want to go out this morning?

I'd actually like to sleep some more, but I can always sleep in December right?

It rained like crazy yesterday afternoon and it reminded me of home. This morning it's a bit chillier. I can take it though... I'm a tough cookie with a soft center. (it's almost a little too soft)...

Today when I get back from the show I need to buckle down and finish the artist bio. I've been offered help by a few people to proofread so that is nice. I just have to buckle down and do it. I also need to make my sign for Monday so I can have it replicated for my Chicago operatives...

Well, I guess I better get a move on... although I may get more camera time if I were in a robe.

Weekend activities...

Well, first off I have to go to ww and weigh in. I'm not looking forward to what the scale is going to say. I haven't been checking my weight at the apartment (my scale is one of the few things I brought with me). I'm just trying to focus and eating good things.

I find that my Today show Schedule is wearing me out... Last night I decided to lay down and watch television and next thing I knew it I was asleep. I ended up sleeping about 10 hours. Now my body hurts from being horizontal for so long.

This weekend I also need to work on my artist bio for a show I have coming up. It will be good for me to do this... I've also been thinking that I need to write about my work (the I heart Ann stuff) to help flesh out why I'm doing it...

Maybe I'll pick some new spot in the city to explore as well. I should see New York before I have to leave it.

I guess that's it for now. I'll check back later - maybe with some photos.

Laundry is going to have to wait.

I ended up coming back home and taking a two hour nap. I'm not going to get around to doing my laundry tonight... there's always tomorrow (and I still have clean underwear).

I have heard from my sisters that my dad is doing much better so I think I will have no trouble sleeping tonight.

He should be in the hospital a few more days and then back to the infirmary where he lives.

I'll keep you updated. I think I'm going to go back to bed again and catch up on some zzz's

Update...

I don't know much more about my dad... I've heard that he's a bit better today. The speech isn't as bad as it was and He's gone for a walk with the physical therapist.

I don't want to get too worried because then I'll lose focus.

I think I may break down and do laundry tonight.. I'm going to try and catch up on some sleep as well before my crazy lifestyle catches up with me.

I'm beginning to get a bit woozy now.. I might just call it a night now...

This one's for PJ...

This photo was taken at Katie's birthday party - well actually before her party. I was just finishing up blowing up the balloons.

Guess what I did this morning - slept in again. I suppose there are worse things I could do... I could be waking up at 5am and going to a strip club. I could be holding dog fights in my back yard... I could be selling my flesh to the highest bidder (oh wait, I already do that.. - no, I'm just kidding...). No, I chose to sleep in and then blog a little.

Maybe someday I will become famous for this... maybe I'll be somebody! Okay, I am somebody already - but maybe they will blog about my blog...

The inside of my eyelids are beautiful.

If I could continue to look at them this morning I would... No gym... it's supposed to be nice out today - I wish I could work on my flip flop tan... but alas, I have to work.

My friend PJ told me I should post more pictures of myself... I'll try PJ. I wouldn't want to blind you all with my beauty though.

Last night after work I went to ww meeting... a friend of mine showed up there so we went grocery shopping afterwards (she only bought good things to eat...)... I'm not going to name names because I need to protect the innocent. Hopefully thing will go well for her. It's always easier when you have someone helping you along the way.

I've been doing research for my upcoming project and am happy to report I'm getting things mapped out. I'll talk more about it later if I can. I've been searching for more races to run in and I might even do some grocerystore filed trips.... I'm excited about the possibilities.
