Things on my mind

-

 This will be a random assortment of stuff and won't necessarily be related to anything else, but here goes. 

I'm looking to plan a summer trip and trying to decide if I want to follow what there is of Route 66 home or if I want to go by way of Wyoming. Either way there are lots of cool things to see, I just need to pick one. The Route 66 is honestly the most appealing because we have no idea how much longer all that stuff we be around. So much has been lost already. Whereas the things in Wyoming are natural and should still be there in a few years. At least providing our president keeps his hands off them. So there's that. 

Hubby is leaving for a few days at the beginning of fall break. I'm happy and not so happy about that. It's always nice to have a few days to myself. I don't have to see what he's doing or what he wants to do. I don't have to answer what do I want for dinner or lunch or breakfast. I can not eat a meal if I so choose to. So that will be nice. It does get a little boring though, so there's that also. 

I've been avoiding someone and I kind of feel bad about it. I realize that our friendship has probably reached it's natural end, it's just run it's course, but I don't think the other person knows yet. In fact, I'm kind of in that position with 2 people, though 1 I'm wondering if that will change. But I feel a little bad about avoiding this person because I just don't want to get together. Spending time with them is not like it used to be and honestly not something I want to do much of. I've changed and they really haven't. So anyway, I'm in avoidance mode and feeling a tiny bit guilty. 

I'm also trying to figure out what to do about my business. Seriously. I want to keep making art and I want to try and sell it, but...... I don't want to do the social media thing. I don't want to run a website like I've been doing. I don't want to do a lot of the things people are saying I should do. I don't want to. So what do I do. I haven't posted on social media in weeks. I haven't done much of anything in weeks. I love making the art, I hate doing all the other sh*t that goes with it. Maybe I'll just make the art. Maybe I'll just post when I want to. Maybe I'll just do things my way. That would be new and different. I hate how everyone tells you that your social media should look cohesive - screw that. 

I have not done anything today to move my art forward 1 inch. That's seriously my goal; 1 inch every day. Today I've done nothing. Hopefully before I go to bed I'll do something. If not, oh well. 

Okay, enough said. I've gotten a few little ideas as I've been typing here. That's usually what happens and that's why I love this and still do it. 


Every once in a while I go back to the beginning of this blog and look. I started this thing on September 26, 2004. It will have it's 22 birthday in just a few days. Weird.

What is wrong with people??? Do Americans no longer have the ability or desire to think for themselves??? On the news this morning I was listening to Al Gore testify on Capitol Hill and I swear to God it made my eyes bleed. The truth be damned, Al's going to try and ride this global warming thing to the White House. What gets me is not so much Al Gore, he's a fruitcake, it's that all these seemingly intelligent people are buying into this crap. People are afraid to stand up and disagree with the global warming issue. It kind of reminds me of early Nazi Germany. People were afraid to stand up and say Hitler was a nutcase. Even if global warming were true (which you may have guessed I don't think) we would need to take drastic action and institute real change. Banning incandescent light bulbs won't do it Al. It really saddens me that people can't think for themselves, that they fall in lockstep to what people like Al Gore say. Please people, use your br...

I am not a night owl. Not at all. I am a morning person - big time. I love to be up before the sun and to get things done. Nothing better than hitting 9 a.m. with most of my chores behind me. Maybe it goes back to my time in the Army, who knows. So most nights I'm in bed by 9 p.m. If I'm up to watch the 10 p.m. news, I'm up late!!! Monday night is my drawing class. It ends at 8:30 p.m. and it's a 20 minute drive home. Do you see where I'm going with this??? Generally when I get home I can't go to bed right away. I need to take time to decompress a little. Luckily I learned rapidly to eat dinner before I go or else I would be up until midnight ( I can not go to bed right after I eat). Wednesdays are worse because I don't get out of class until 9 p.m. Last night drawing class was really good. I'm actually pretty darn good at drawing. I got home at 8:50 and farted around for a while. Finally about 9:15 I forced myself to go to bed. Well I e...

I have a question.

Do you guys eat before your morning workout? If so, what? And how much before?? This is a topic I've been struggling with for some time now and I still don't have a good answer. When I was huge and had just started moving, I didn't eat before working out. I did it first thing in the morning, still do, and basically just didn't have time to eat first. So I would work out and then eat after. I lost 75 lbs that way. I also wasn't exercising more than an hour at a time, usually it was 30-45 minutes. As I got fitter and was working out more, I would be hungry when I woke up. I started eating 1/2 a banana as soon as I got up and then worked out. That seemed to work out well for a while. Then I started reading. I got all caught up in the eat or don't eat debate. I read a lot of experts saying you have to eat before working out or you body won't burn fat. Others said if you worked out less than an hour it wasn't necessary to eat first, unless you wer...
