so its raining, and by raining i mean A LOT, and by A LOT i mean the ground is still frozen which makes the water just pool. add to that really high winds and a general feeling of crap and i would have to say that is a great definition for a monday!
this was my last weekend before classes start again and i had grand aspirations of being creative. every once in a while i get the urge to make something. my problem becomes the question of what i want to make. my first thought was “ohh i will paint something.” all those great crafty blogs have found furniture that miraculously becomes a gorgeous piece of furniture with just a few coats of paint. immediately i find obstacles…1) i have no ugly found furniture. 2) i have no space to put the amazingly re-done found furniture. 3) in fact i have no space to actually amazingly re-do a piece of furniture. 4) i have no paint to transform the non-existent found furniture. and then things start to spiral out of control and i find myself just staring at what i do have and thinking that i will never create anything amazingly cool from found furniture ever. EVER.
instead i putz around the apartment, read a magazine, watch whatever the boys are watching and wonder what happened to that creative side of me…
and the last day before my life becomes full of reading, classes and papers, is spent picking up nick from school early because he has a touch of the plague, making some comfort food, and catching up on all the great crafty blogs that turn old silverware into wall art and taunt my hidden creative side…
perhaps i will just construct a boat…
I just said to my coworkers, “I think we need to build an ark.” How awful is this weather!
The river here is going to be dangerously close to flood stage on Thursday thanks to all the snow and rain we’ve had in the past month. When she overflows her banks, its never a good thing. Think you might have room in that boat for me and another really cute Golden Retriever friend for Hobbes?
there will be plenty of room for EVERYONE on the delux ark complete with wave pool and casino of course!
Seriously – we needed boats on Monday. We went to see Avatar and it was POURING when the movie let out. Good timing!
