a. t. whim

I’m back!  With a little bit more color too.  But as soon as I drove across the border into Oregon, it was snowing.  It’s amazing how different the weather is with just a few hours of driving.

Legoland had an impressive display of cities made from Legos…

MADE FROM LEGOS PEOPLE!  AND the little cars moved up and down the streets!  I remember my lego houses having having mismatching brightly colored bricks and a dark green roof, with little blue windows that would swing in and out.

So I lied.  I have no new art to show you.  I have a very good reason!  I decided to check out this silly vampire teenage romance novel that has everyone all a-twitter, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.  I became totally engrossed and obsessed with the characters (especially Edward, yum!).  I read it in a day, and  couldn’t even wait to get home to by the next book from my own bookstore.  I patroned a Borders (sorry Powell’s) and then quickly ate up New Moon.  But I drew the line at the 3rd book.  I waited after driving 13 hours back home and quickly jumped into my bookstore and checked out the 3rd book.  And it’s my devotion to you lovelies that keeps me from snubbing all my responsibilities and having my nose in the book.  I am obsessed.  So forgive me for not painting, books are my weakness.  I swear that after I finish this one, I’ll get back to work (until the 4th book comes out in August).

I’m just waiting around for my party to show up in about half an hour, and I thought I’d say HI to everyone!

On Monday I’m heading down to California to visit the family.  August and I are going to Legoland!  It’ll be good to take a vacation, and get some warmth from the desert.  I’m still freezing up here!  I hope you all have a good holiday/vacation/weekend.  I’ll hopefully get some artwork done while I’m away.  I’ve been so busy around the house that the piece above is all I have to show since my last blog.  I know, I’m lagging behind.

Anyway, love you all.  And I’ll be back soon!
