Wow, it has been so long, I forgot the html for making the subject header bold. Sheesh.
Not sure what I am doing as far as LJ goes. I may be closing this journal down. Lots of stuff going on in my life...moved...some art stuff...even roadside America trips but for some reason I lack the desire to post. I still look at my friends list often and comment as I love to see what's going on in ya'lls life and no, it's not fair that I am not writing about mine...It's just that things are going in another direction but I am just not sure what direction that is!
So having said that, I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday.
Toodles!

| I bought a toilet brush |

Yes I bought a toilet brush - that means I must be moving...Who wants to move an old toilet brush? Not me, so you buy another, a swift indication that yes, it is confirmed, you are moving. I am out of my lease and any lease for that matter and am moving into a big ol' house. It is temporary...but I rent month to month so I can look for something that I want. The house is for sale and totally out of my price range but they are renting to me for a price that is dirt cheap. All I can say is it is a blessing because it just doesn't make sense. Nothings wrong with the house and it's really big and very nice actually. Internet will be down a couple of days - as it is being turned on their on Monday. Hope you all have a nice Easter if you celebrate it.

Written to my Aunt back in 1993. She is now dying of breast cancer. I don't know if she knows it yet.
A feather in your hair which fell from an angels wing floated upon a restless wave in the ocean. Deceived by it's anxiety you couldn't rest on the shore. So you walked upon the white sand which piled about your feet. The water colour bird of emerald sang it's last song within the bare trees of winter. It's bread crumb trail and yours hidden by the snow. If you only knew, the snow was made of icing you both could have tasted it's sweetness. And sew, you continued to look for a place of rest but found only frayed edges of a life you thought wasn't. You learned to mend it's hem and patch the holes of wear, the thinning thread holds the world.
And still you can hear the ocean though it is a thousand miles away but your footprints have been covered by raining thoughts of wonder. Where do you go from here for no trails are ahead. You stand alone in your uniqueness of one and only one.
You open your hand and let the clouds rest upon your palm. As you listen to the whisper of the wind.
You have looked across plastic columns at melting snow dripping through cracks as you float upon waves of icebergs. Feathers of angels wings rain upon your face leaving tears beneath your feet. Black sand piles upon the shore making it easy to sea the shells - discarded and out grown homes. You sing within your cage, emerald bird, hungry because the bread crumb trail was hidden by the whiteness if only you had tasted the snow - it was made of icing.

I am Purging...
No not in the eating disorder kind of way but in the getting rid of extra "stuff" I have accumulated throughout the years. Stuff that you don't look at forever but when you go through it you put it back in the box and say, "oh I might use that someday". Well I am trying to not put the items back in the boxes. I am mainly working on papers right now. Cards, letters and sentimental things going in one box. Blank notes and paper in another. While going through the x-beau's box. I found a funny paper.
It reads:
5 Year Plan 11.10.03
----------
Make a decision.
Be where I want.
Gallery.
Haha pretty vague. Do you think I made a decision in those 5 years? I hope I did and I have not been just floating around in limbo land. Ok so I can't remember what the decision was but I think it had to do with staying with or without the x-beau thus why it was in with the x-beau stuff. I did make a decision on that. So, then there is be where I want. Hmmm not sure where I want to be but I do know that I am most likely going to be moving somewhere in March. Not sure yet where but pretty sure somewhere. I hope it's where I want! Then the word gallery. Yes a dream is to have my own studio/gallery but I think I will settle this one as being achieved through my first two art exhibits I had last year. I think that qualifies good enough. I will have to come up with another 5 Year Plan now! lol

My Gram passed away this evening around 9 pm. I will post a lovely photo of her when I get back from New York. My sister, baby Shylee and myself will be driving out there most likely Monday. Hopefully the weather will be ok.

It's that time of the year again when all my pictures turn to question marks on LJ...I share a hosting server with a friend and for some reason every year instead of letting us know when it runs out to renew they just put up a page when I go to my website addy that says "if you are seeing this your page your account has been suspended". So I can't even get to my photos to pull them off - I had to pay another year but it's still not up. I think I may back them up more frequently and maybe next year transfer not sure. My website has been down about a week now along with being able to post. I guess I can post from Flickr...forgot about that.
I am still looking for a new place to live. I have until March 30th to vacate. I looked at a small house today. Potential inside but needs carpet pulled up and paint. The yard has a menacing tree in front but it's a small yard that I could fill with plants and not have too much to mow. No garage but two bedrooms and a dining room that could be made into the studio. The kitchen has enough room to put a small kitchen table in. Not sure about the location. The house that I am infatuated with is a little more than I can afford but would love to have. High taxes are the culprit in these parts.

Still looking at houses and pricing apartments. Learning that where I am is very affordable but need a change and more room for my art and for my niece. Want to give art classes for children and later women. Art therapy type stuff with altered books and so on. I know wherever I am going will be where I am meant to be for the next season in my life. Even if it is only for a couple years. I have had a lot of anxiety but I am learning that I am making things worse for myself by thinking of every single "what if" scenario that could possibly occur. I love it when I learn things and when things are revealed to me. Things that I need to change or heal from. Things that will help me to grow. Yay. Praise God.

I am up to looking for a place to live again. My lease runs out in March. The property sent me a renewal and said sign new lease by February 15 and it only goes up $10. Sign after February 15 and it goes up $25! Because you are a good tenant we will let you sign another lease! lol
I have been looking to BUY a house the last three weeks. I learned that I can't afford what I thought I could by any means. I found a perfect house but was outbid even though it wasn't an official bid. The realtor told me what I was going to bid wouldn't touch the other person's. I took that as the door slamming on that house and that was fine. I was freaking out that I would not be able to afford it. If it ends in having to find something to rent I will but I won't be here in the Meadows of Wood any longer. Time to move on.
I have become afraid of change - the same person who changes like the wind. Not healthy. My anxiety level is way high but I am doing ok. I have been trying to leave it in God's hands. It's hard but I am completely off of all medications (except Benadryl for hives). No anti-depressants of any kind.
Hope everyone is well!
Happy New Year~Here is to change!

I need to add a few more items...lights on the hat, maybe a pink wig and some small ornaments to outline the hem of the dress. Got the pink dress at the Good will store today for $4.99.
EDIT:
I added a pink beehive wig (how could I have forgotten that I had this), some pink ornaments and more lights. I ditched the cowboy hat.
