SPT {exactly like me}

: exactly like me :

I once gave up chocolate just to see how long I could go without it. I went sans chocolat for thirteen years.

When I was a kid, my grandfather used to tell us he went to school at the Corncob College. And, for many years, I believed such a school existed.

I can be very moody. One year my mom gave me a mood ring for a gag gift at Christmas, but I think she secretly hoped it would work.

In high school, while on vacation in Myrtle Beach, my friends and I befriended some fellow spring breakers at the beach. One of them had a really long name, which we somehow expanded to Pedro Paco Pete Fernando Fernandez Chico La Cucaracha. I have an odd tendency to swiftly recite that name over and over again during mindless tasks, like doing housework or waiting for the computer to power up.

Why I Crave Adult Conversation

Friday, May 26th, 2006
“Mama?”
“What?”
“Mama?”
“What?”
“Mama?”
“What?”
“Mama?”
“What?!?”
“I love you.”
“I love you, too, sweetpea.”

“Look, Mom.” (proudly holding new Barbie doll, a gift from her great-grandmother.)

“Hey, she’s got brown hair just like me.”

“Yes, but you look a lot older.”

“Don’t you have a room to clean or something?”

Metamorphosis

I feel like I have been stagnant in so many areas of my life lately, so I decided to give myself a much needed push to get the momentum going again.

According to the experts, it takes a minimum of 21 days to change a habit, so, inspired by the recent 21 Day Challenge initiated by Rhonna Farrer, I have committed myself to nurturing my body and soul by making it a priority to exercise and create art every single day for three weeks.

My goal is to break a sweat and spend some time in the studio even on the difficult I’m-not-in-the-mood days.

Today is actually Day Three, and so far, so good…

Day One

The art journal page above was also inspired by the current Abstract Art challenge at the new Inspire Me Thursday site.
