I haven’t posted a pic of my view lately, so here you go.

I haven’t posted anything lately! I have not been feeling the “art poop” (as So&So puts it); I’ve been too busy working out. Jillian Michaels’ new DVD Ripped in 30 came out this week and I have done it exactly once. I completed level 1 and immediately went to ballet class. The next day I could barely walk but decided to compound it with 2 hours of bellydance. My glutes and hamstrings are not speaking to me (although they are much happier today). Did you know these muscles are very important for things like walking around? And also putting pants on? The past 2 days the only way I can get dressed is to hold my pants out in front of me, take a deep breath and swing my leg in the general direction of the garment and pray it gets in there somehow. On the plus side, once I recover from this I should have buns of steel.

Enough about my aches & pains (I just typed aches & paints, which would be a good name for some kind of art-related book or workshop). I’ve decided to try more of this “writing” thing I keep hearing about – lately I’ve become concerned that I’m not going to remember anything since all I do is artsy stuff that doesn’t actually convey what I’ve been up to.

Now that the sun is actually out, Athena is catching some rays. She looks really neat when the light comes through. I got her in Athens – an Athena souvenir was on my priority list since she is my favorite – every store had the same things but for some reason we kept moving from store to store to look for the “right one.” I ended up with this one because the sales guy’s breath was so bad I just wanted him to stop talking at me. He did give me a “special” discount though (aka the same discount he gives everybody because everything is so marked up in the first place)! /random

Anyway, today may or may not be my birthday so I am off for the day and may or may not have time to actually do a new page.
