No time to draw… or is it no desire at the moment…

Spending a lot of time with my kids

And cooking

And at the beach…  walking and walking…

Sometimes something has to give, and I guess right now it’s been my blog…

Sometimes it’s just necessary to take a step back and get a good look at things.

But I’m sure I’ll be back when I find a little time, inspiration and direction.

Maybe when the sun comes back out.

This morning I made these for a Christmas dinner party… “Pesto Parmesan Stars”.  Puffed pastry with pesto and parmesan cheese, cut out into stars and baked.  So good.  I had my hands full and was walking out to the car to leave and klutzy me tripped on the uneven sidewalk…

AFTER THE FALL

My beautiful platter my bestie Lisa bought me on her Honeymoon in Hawaii 20 years ago… smashed.  Pesto stars… ruined.  Christmas gift (a candle in a glass jar)….. shattered.   my knees… swollen.  My hand…. split open.

At least I didn’t break the wine.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great 2010.  Life seems to be so busy around here lately, and not much time to draw or blog, but I’ll try and do better after the New Year!

This is what Survivor is all about… blind-siding and backstabbing!  I can’t wait for the finale… whether or not Russell makes it to the end or not, he’s brought Survivor to a new level. 

Added Bonus:  Jeffy baby

jeffwet

Most hunky tv host ever.

I went to a baby shower at work.  Yes, another potluck.  The best thing…. ORANGE SODA!  I hardly ever drink soda, and having some Orange Soda was SPECTACTULAR! Seriously good stuff.

What’s the skinny? A skinny giraffe, standing in some skinny grass, under a skinny tree.

Skinny is this week’s word for Illustration Friday.

We had a “taco bar” potluck at work today.  Jody bought the fresh taco shells, I made the shredded beef, everyone brought one ingredient and we made huge, delicious tostados/taco salads.
