Fun Times in the Land of Plenty

Used books found/afternoon lost.

So how are things? 
Busy here (mostly working)  and dreaming about this..

And This...

And returning back to Paris.

Mostly I have been running around getting the last minute things done before the next adventure. I know I still owe you picture from like 2 outings and a road trip....But I'm working on it.
​
We have had a bit of rain (finally) and with it comes magnificent sunrises and sunsets.

Thats a lot of rain, remember Texas is the size of France.

One Sunset later.

And another.
The sunsets have been very fiery and bold.
​OH! I noticed the wildflowers are starting to pop up too. Pictures soon. 

Another Sunrise. Does it look the same to you? We have so many trees that it does look like the same view..but it is not.

Lucky #1111 on my brothers birthday.

Me - when I eat out and tell the waiter no cheese, please. #FAIL

I have successfully packed up all my paints, all the sketch pads, new canvas's, painting equipment and even over priced markers and now am CRAVING LIKE MAD to paint and make the art. #WTF? I do not touch them for almost 6 months and now suddenly I must have them? I think it could be because I am now at a place to draw again. I feel like my head and heart are clearing and I can concentrate again. Plus it is great to be happy and content once again. So I'm mostly back to my old self or maybe even a little bit better. As you know, dear reader,  I'm pretty happy 90% of the time (the other 10% is mainly just amazement) or I am when no one is MAKING me unhappy.

I tested that theory of "no one but yourself can make you unhappy" lately and my findings were that Yes, yes they can. Constant mind games, bullshit and bipolar behavior can make you unhappy no matter how zen you are. Having someone constantly hammering away at your self esteem is unforgivable and wrong. Period, end of story. So why put up with it, even for a minute? Because if someone really cares about you..they will not behave in such away. No excuses are ever acceptable for this type of behavior.

 So I may not be totally zen, but I think I am no doubt wiser for all the last few years.  And damn site happier. :D   Just do not put cheese on my salad, okay?

​See you at the airport.
