Okay, I HATE moving. Let's clarify this a bit: HATE - LOATHE IT! Today we're packing the second round of stuff and I think we're out of moving boxes already...sigh! I guess having a child will contribute to the 'stuff' one accumulates.
So, my husband's grandmother is out here from Michigan and we have her packing our stuff with us. Poor dear! She's such a good sport about it too!
Now the tricky part - trying to get a hold of the landlord to figure out when I can start bringing stuff over to the new place (in the garage for now) while he's finishing the remodel there.
Happy new year! LOL! What chaos to begin the new year with...
...as for my painting right now - well, it's in a box at the moment. More to come in January when I'm trying dearly to reach a January 10th deadline.
Just call me Drama Gal!

A few days before Christmas...
...and all through the house,
not a person was helping with the packing for the big January move....
...Okay, not a poet or songwriter but I have to sing crazy songs like this around the house to get things going a bit! LOL!
Bad news, have NOT painted at ALL since my lovely best friend Irene taught me how to knit. Well, she showed me how to start it and how to do a stitch or two so I could do something. It does take some practice, and I'm not done with my scarf yet. It's been like two days! I guess Rome wasn't built in a day either - right?
Then it's almost Christmas, we have Grandma out here which makes things a lot of fun and really hectic sometimes too. Where to go, what to do, go to the park with the family, picnics, ice skating, etc. Whew! All this and fighting a little virus too. Lovely!
Can't wait for Christmas this year, however! We all bought gifts for my son ONLY - well, maybe some of us broke the rules a bit, but it's OKAY - it's a family portrait that I haven't heard the end of request for all year long. They'll forgive me once they see it. I finally look like a human being again after having my son.
Jabba the Hut I was known as, yes!! Normal now I am!
I'm really hoping to paint again as soon as we move and settle into our new place...I can't wait for that either!
May everyone have a Merry Christmas out in Blogger-ville and may God bless all of you and your families for the coming year!

Elections and all that Jazz
Well, the elections of 2004 have come and go - Bush is in for 4 more years and I live in California. So, IF I actually voted (which I can't right now - long boring story) I'm not sure who I would have voted for - but I live in the Democratic State of California. Would it have mattered? Possibly.
I am OKAY with Bush winning because he started the war and he should finish it. Can't switch leaders part way through can we? Too weird.
I watched something on Frontline the night before the election and it compared/contrasted both candidates (as if they're the only ones running). Very interesting. Bush and Kerry aren't THAT different after all and Kerry has done some amazing things in his life.
Today I'm still worried about Kerry's wife. She was so outspoken at the onset of the campaign, then too outspoken then GONE. Any time they showed her (rarely) she was kinda slumping and looked really medicated. God bless that lady. She went through a lot. I would have never been able to endure all that she went through. I sincerely hope she gets some rest for as long as she needs it.
Well, that's all I have to say on the election - that and thank God nobody pulled a 2000 election and brought in the lawyers again. I'm not that political, just some ramblings.
May God bless our country and our leaders.

Okay, where was I?
I'm going through my studio and garage space as of late, and haven't been painting at all. That has to change with the holidays coming up and shows for 2005.
Get crackin' girl!
I may be moving to another house sooner than later, although I won't know for sure until tomorrow. This will be a good thing for the family and the garage has a little 'studio' area with a divider wall. Sounds perfect for me!
I've started a Melalucea site at: www.nino.nontoxichomes.info -- these products are totally environmentally friendly, non toxic/no fumes, and actually WORK. If it wasn't for my doctor asking me to get into non toxic home products, I would have never bothered to research it. I'm so happy I found this stuff - it's cheaper than Sam's Club or Costco stuff, you get more and it's good for you and the house you live in.
What could be better than that - especially if you have kids like I do.

Sold the LUTHER BURBANK GREENHOUSE painting
...tonight! Wow! That was fast...didn't even make it to the show in January. Oh well, I was planning a garden series from that same area for the showing - so now I'll have to do three or four paintings of that gorgeous area in order to make it into the show.
A good friend of mine stopped by tonight and saw my new paintings in the living room (the gallery I call it!) and she said it was a nice painting. I thought she was just commenting on it, but then she said "how much for it?" and the painting was sold! I asked her if I could keep it for a week to get it photographed properly (the pic on the site is by me and pretty dark) and she agreed.
Wow! I like selling paintings...motivates me to do more. Also, we're looking for a new place to live in this area with a garage, attached - for my paintings. I think I'm onto something - we'll find out this weekend if it's up to our healthy and clean standard!
