Dreaming of Spring

spring
dreaming of flowers that will bloom
wishfulthinking
and going to the backyard to pick herbs for cooking
promise
Those buds look promising, don't they?

Tonight is the fund raising dinner and auction for the Shoe-In Project.  The artists are all to be there, and I was told we are expected to wander around the dining room, introducing ourselves to the patrons and talking about our art.  Those of you who have been reading this blog, does that sound at all like something I would enjoy?  No way!!  I am dreading it actually.  I enjoy talking about my art, but only to those who express an interest.  Me going up to someone's table and saying, "hey! let me tell you about my hummingbird shoes!" would be like me having my blog be one of those nasty spammy pop ups, coming up on your computer screen while you were involved in something else entirely.

I wonder if it would be bad to have a couple of drinks before going.  It's three o'clock; is that too early to start drinking?  I should at least do my make-up and clothes and everything first, or who knows what I might go looking like.

Please come back and visit me tomorrow.  I have something that's been on my mind that I want to run by you.

  2. Good luck tonight! Have fun :) (And if there was a flower fairy out there that would come and drape my trees in those sweet little crocheted posies, I'd be a happy girl!)

  3. Drink away! You will have a good time, and I totally relate to hard it is walking around and talking about yourself.
