The Day After- my tree is already disassembled. I am cleaning up the pine needles- the fake pine needles. My artificial tree is *so* realistic- it sheds artificial needles. yeah...(sigh) My blog will be changing to less of personal commentary to more of my artist whims. Perhaps a few photos of current projects. Oh, but first, here is a photo of my tree topper. Isn't she cute? She is the reason the tree is done so quickly!

Ouch

Oh a new blog day. I am really new to blogging. It just seems odd but here goes . My daughter slammed her finger in the door last night. It was bleeding and the nail was ripped out by the root and hanging on by a thread. I am not a panicky person. I tend to put a bandage on it and give it a kiss. This, however did not look good. This was one of those - dang, have to go to the ED. She actually ended having the tip broken! And they pulled off the nail the rest of the way. Not one sound from her, she just held my hand and looked at me while they yanked it off. OUCH!!! I'll say it for her... %(*&*(&_#$+&*_))_*+)

Today, she is milking it for what it is worth... wanted to go to Grams Kitchen and out to lunch and no chores.... well, I'll let it ride for now. Speaking of riding, I think I will go ride.

A new beginning

The start of a new blog is very - I would like to say exciting- but really .... no one cares.
