poetry

i am so angry
i cannot contain myself
i bump into walls
and doors
i crash into people.

Time flies when you're busy!

Wow, where did September go?

Marching Band is in full swing and Dome is only 3 weeks away. AAAHHH! The kids look and sound so good. It's the pirate life for me....

I am back to my painting and trying to get over the self imposed pity party I was participating in all summer. I am currently working on another one of my car pictures, which Sari refers to as another "Norris". I don't know why I keep doing cars and landscapes when it's really people that I want to paint.

I have also signed up with NaNoWriMo (yes, you too, can write a novel in 1 month; November to be exact). I have always wanted to write "the great american novel" but I am a bit intimidated now. 50000 words in 30 days. That breaks down to 1666.67 words a day. I am not sure if I am up to the task. We'll see.

Alex is now the proud owner of his third bass...a Warwick Corvette Standard fretless. It was a serendipitous thing. We found it on e-bay an hour before the end of the bidding. Luck was with us and Alex had a summer's worth of pay to cover it. He loves it and it sounds great.

Jack tried out for baskettball but alas it was not to be. He had a team, he didn't have a team. It is a long story and a screaming rant if you get me started so I won't get started. I am looking into what the YMCA has to offer as far as basketball goes. It has to be better organized!
