A New Addiction

Ok...so now I have a new addiction...and a whole new appreciation for "binge" drinkers.  I am on a bender! 

 

This is an example of a "Zentangle".  I have recently discovered this art form and have been going through paper like mad.  I am "tangling" on anything that is a blank surface.  This one was inspired by my sister Stacey's diagnosis of breast cancer.  Thankfully confined to the tumor that was removed.  I just started with the ribbon and blossomed from there.  I hope that you all like it.  

Just stepped out for an excursion to AC Moore.  Thank you David for keeping Luke at home with you.  I think this was the only time that I went to AC Moore and DIDN'T spend a large portion of the trip trapped in the Thomas aisle with a 4 year old who wants to buy another train, but already owns all of their selection...

Anyway, chose 3 different brands of pens and a tray of watercolors as well as a small spiral sketchbook and a watercolor block.  Also picked up an erasing shield.  That should come in handy!  Watch for more Zentangles to come as I learn more and more of the "tangle" patterns and settle on my favorites!  Have fun everyone.

Here's one to ponder.....

Why do people always walk UP a stairmaster?  Why doesn't anyone turn around and walk DOWN for a change???

Hypoglycemic Humor

David: I am like Paul Blart, Mall Cop....I need Pixie Stix!....
Can you picture this...(Snorts a line of Pixie Stix)
Picks up his face and the moisture under his nose is turning purple from the pixie stix.

Catch 22

The advancements in our society, designed to improve the quality of life, frequently serve to cause more harm than the good they were intended for.

Social Security is an example of this situation. Something that was implemented at a time when our population was more "manageable", but due to advancements in the field of medical science, allowing us to live longer lives, we are are stretching the limits of the very program designed to provide us with financial stability into our retirement.
