In my quest to find a hobby, I started a puzzle on Saturday. The scene is of a red bard in some woods that sits behind a pretty little pond. Ten minutes in and I felt tension. Unless it's 20 gigantic wooden pieces, I simple don't have the patience or the spatial reasoning to tackle a 500 piece puzzle...But Dan has just about completed it.
I did hit up the craft store yesterday. I've decided to tackle a arts & crafts project as part of Shannon's 30th birthday gift. Shan - sorry to make you the guinea pig. (If it's fugly, I won't mind if you chuck it.) I also picked up a sketch pad and some colored pencils. I fought off the urge to by crayons. I mean I already have my cray pas. Anyway, I found myself writing letters to my mom in the sketch pad. It felt good to get things out - as there is nothing worse than sitting around on a sunday and picking up the phone to call your mom, but she's not ever going to be there again. I don't know if I like all of the crying I'm doing though as I write.
Anyway, I finally put together my office chair, which I'm trying to get used to. I also cleaned the house, did laundry, went for a great walk with Baby and saw MatchPoint. I liked it, but Dan said it moved incredibly slow. I decided to watch Annie Hall the next day, but I haven't finished it. So far I'm really enjoying it.
Today I don't feel much like working, but can't afford to slack. Signing off.

I dont like 'em either. I'd like for someone to tell me the point of them ;). Emmanuel has like a gazzilion of them and he's always trying to fit pieces of different puzzles in the one he's doing. I thought he just didnt know but if you tell him he gets mad. He is actually trying to make pieces of other puzzles fit with the one he's doing. That probably says something about his personality but I aint that smart to figure it out....
I used to love puzzles - but then again, anything that occupied my mind for more than 10 minutes was a plus for me.
Dan finished it, eh? Impressive.
What you are doing with the whole creativity/hobby quest I think is just a wonderful idea. It definitely can't hurt to get things out - more importantly expressing subconsciously. I think it's great.
So you liked MatchPoint? How was that hottie in it?
he was good, but he's skinny
there were rumors flying round bout the skinny boy looking all f'ed up, possibly H'ed out --at the most recent awards thingie. think it's true? hmm
