Yer Built Too Low Boy. The Jokes Pass Right Over Yer Head!

Okay, since I was unable to fit everything into the last post...here's the new stuff I'm working on:

Oh thank you Mr. Jones!

We were watching Bugs Bunny on the weekend, sheay and I. Today's title is from one of the cartoons. Your task to day is to find out which one...bwah hahahaha!

Well, life in the YBR has been pretty busy these past couple months. The studio is looking pretty good. Nothing sold yet. Can't bring myself to give up anything, I either keep stuff for myself or I give paintings to Steff. She's a very willing admirer. Silly fool that she is. :)

Well, anyways, time for some updates. Here's some of the pieces I've been working on lately...good or bad, you decide.

Its off to downtown today to visit Amanda and Daniel in their new flat. Amanda came back from England in November... I've not seen her in years. We got together a cpl times since then, but now they have their own place downtown. Easier for them to get jobs down their in their field - both Amanda and her husband work in theatre. Amanda has the most amazing voice. i believe she said she has a gig for summer already lined up.
I wish it was sunny like yesterday... but it is mild.
I'm just waiting for Sheay to arrive from her dads... since I am at work still this week, not off like Sheay, she still spends the night with him, as I am working. Then we are off.

yesterday was a pretty good day. i went for an hour walk, then came home and cleaned out the garage... which was overdue. I have some stuff in he trash for today that I hope they take. can you believe that the real estate agent that sold this place never took the for sale sign and signpost? Now i'm stuck with it. sigh. I have kept the sign post part that digs into he ground.. part of me wonders if I can use it for something here anyway... the rest is in the trash.

Yesterday my messy, messy neighbours did their once a year clean up the side of their house. For once, it does not look as though I walk out ,my door into the recycle dump. Wonder how long THAT will last.

I am pretty tired of looking at heaps of trash and recycling. But this far, l'd rather not start a war with my neighbours.

Sheay has arrived now... getting her some breakfast... we're are off for 240 Cosburn Ave!

Whoo hoo! 15 today? Wow... I am going to get out there.

Sheay has turned into the Soccer Demon... over the weekend I bought her a ball for home... she's been wanting to go out every day for hours since. Its been great exercise... but you should see the bruise on my ankle from when I hit the ball the wrong way! I think I have a bit of sun too! Which can only help me.

The last while has been a challenge for me... my eczema got so bad... I left it longer than I should have, I know, but I just don't want to cave into drugs... But I had no choice. last Tuesday i went on Prednisone... that stuff works FAST. i am almost all cleared up. But I feel all uggy. For every plus, there is a minus. Sigh.

But at least I can move my hands again... and wear rings. Funny how such a simple thing as not being able to wear my rings can also get me down. I always envy people who have beautiful hands... it is something I will never be able to have. Oh well... it can be worse... I should not complain. my only worry now is... what IF it come back as bad once I am done with Prednisone? :(

So, Sheay is with her dad today for the day... It is march break and I suggested to him that he hang out with her for the day today. i will be seeing her tomorrow 9am, and then we are off to visit with Amanda and Daniel downtown. They are in their new flat and we want to visit.

No new pics right at the moment, but there has been some good painting happening down in Studio YBR... wait.. are you still calling it that Craig? lol

Ok -- I am getting ready for a walk... I have a hot date with a path, the sun and my iPod. mwahh haa haa

See the faces frozen still, against the wind

Ok, we have not posted anything... we suck... lol
Craig and Sheay started out being sick... now as I am writing this, I do wish that I had called in to work sick myself. I spent since noon in bed, and work up feeling worse.
But, I do have two fabulous new rings! tee hee.
Yesterday was my 39th birthday. It was a very good day. I got a call or text from Craig, Kirsten, my parents, e-card from Craig's mom & sister, my sister, Joanna in BC from a flight to Seattle, Kirk in Florida, Amanda from her new apartment... I felt so loved! So many people wished me well. Thanks to you all! it was great.
While I did have to do some housework (no one escapes that, even on a b-day) I did read some, I did my nails, then went for lunch at Mandarin with my parents and Sheay.
Craig came over at work and I got my new microwave from him and his mom (cool!). I've been without one for months... and while there is life after a busted microwave, it certainly is easier in many ways.
Craig and I went to Williams for dinner. it was lovely to sit and talk, just relax. We went home after that and reminisced over the Live-Aid DVD. Can you believe after 24 years, I finally got to see Duran Duran perform at Live-Aid? I missed it back in the day July 13th, 1985 as I was at Wonderland, waiting to see OMD in concert... man, THAT is back in the day... I was 15.
I think we are all ready for spring at the YBR... but the sun is a nice start.
Craig has been painting... slowed down a bit by the illness, but carries on none the less. We have a new paintting that for now, will hang on the wall here. I believe though that it will be the first painting to get placed on the Etsy site. Craig has been playing with the name on that site, but think we are solid with "Studio CSquared" now.

I want to send big hugs out to Kirstie. Despite your need for a sling (you know what I mean) I'm proud of you and think you're awesome! Love you!

i will be posting more in the future... promise.
