after not so pleasant dental surgery on thursday, i’m feeling & looking much better today. ( i looked like a prize fighter who had taken a knock out punch in the jaw!)  the good news is that i will be losing the 5 pounds that i want to get rid of on my liquid diet.

after a long hot summer- los angeles has had it’s first much needed rain in a very , very long time. it was a wonderful way to fall asleep last night -listening to the rain. this morning it is drizzling on & off, so since it is to wet to garden (another passion)-&  my usual weekend activity- i’m going to reorganize my studio- a little overwhelming ,wish me luck!

  i have my office, work space, and artwork in this tiny space-actually it’s the smallest room in the house.  i’m not complaining- i know i’m fortunate to have a studio of my own- i have many friends who just have a dining room table. the empty “guestroom” right next to my studio is VERY tempting- it’s my daughters old room & is twice the size ( i will admit that i have taken over the walk in closet.)

for those of you who have twenty something year old  kids- we know that there is a very good chance of them coming back home every so often .  my “good mom” priorities are a happy daughter- sigh- however, every once & awhile- i do lust for the room next door!
