There is something to this!

bloodsong1I'm going to continue this new morning routine of meditation-yoga-makeup-jewelry for as long as I can (meaning I lose interest or another temp shift starts, whichever comes first). I'm liking how I'm feeling and what I see in the mirror.
Spent a lovely day with Sammi today. We colored in the mandala book I found at B&N, had a wonderful stuffed pepper soup (a way to eat green peppers that doesn't make me go SQUICK!) and chocolate chip bread, and we discussed many and sundry things while she tried to patch some wall paper. I left when she started yawning. She's earned naps!
Since there was only about an hour before I needed to pick up the kiddos, I decided to play in Michael's and see what I could see. I found blue candles for the Buddha at half off, a bottle of lilac diffuser oil for my bedroom and I STILL cannot find adult coloring books in the craft stores!! (Adult meaning mandalas and botany catalogues and architecture like Victorian houses. Perverts!) I did find watercolor pencils on sale, as well as drawing pads, and stood there looking at them and arguing with myself.
"You won't know unless you try!" I said out loud and grabbed a 24 pack of pencils w/brush and a small note pad. The idea is to ease myself into watercolors without reading any instruction books on the matter. Pencils are easier to control then thin paint and I can sketch and color at the same time. Worst case scenario is I do a few drawings, decide I hate it and give the supplies to whichever kiddo wants to try. Or other family members. Or friends.
I'm also working on the Cross Stitch O'Doom. I managed to do a complete section in the wrong color because I misread the cards. CSOD is Dooooooooommmmmmmyyyy!!!! I've decided Not To Care, as it is not noticeable to anyone else looking at it.
All of a sudden it's 11 pm. How did that happen? I'm going to bed.
