blue eggs and no ham

Maybe I am getting used to this blogging stuff- mostly writing about useless things which pop into my head. Here is one from last week which is only now making it's debut....

I was hungry and decided to make an egg salad sandwich - I start to boil up a few eggs- blue eggs as I have Easter egg chickens. Oh, I do have a few brown egg layers but for some reason the blue eggs are on my counter so I start boiling them. As I start to peel them I notice that they do indeed look bluish . Normally they get mixed in with the brown eggs so I don't really notice a big difference but today they are by themselves they are blue. huh... so I take photos ( because I have no art ready ) so here is my lunch . Now once they are all mixed up they do not look blue... which is good 'cause if I think about eggs too much I get grossed out. Tiny chicken embryos. ewww......

morning full moon

This photo was taken last week of the morning full moon - same tree as in the sunset. I love that tree, but I think it is dying. I don't have any art to show yet - I've been waaay to busy with work. It is good to work, but at the same time, it really cuts into play time...

I am still shopping for beading supplies and I am still waiting for my boro beads for the cool necklace I will make as I get them!

Ice shroud

I went to turn off the sprinklers this morning and found these ice sculptures. How cool is this ?

What have I been doing lately? Several things-

I have been working. Unfortunately, I have not yet won a lotto drawing so I have to go to work. Just three days a week. Sounds as if it is part time, right? No, I work 12+ hour days so it is full time. I like to work fewer days, more hours, but sometimes it is difficult. My work day is just that ... a work day. The whole day is consumed by work, thinking of work, running around taking care of patients, from waking until bedtime. I wish I could just stay there in the hospital for those days - it would save a bit of time and gas from having to drive home -sleep, change clothes and go back. I am not whining... not exactly... I am grateful I am able to work and grateful my phone is ringing off the hook with people begging me to go to work, but there are reasons there is a nursing shortage..... whoops, different blog.

I also have been shopping.... no, not normal going to the mall and shops shopping. But good ol' agoraphobic shopping from my computer. I am trying to find beads to make a necklace. I like to look at jewelry and collecting things to make jewelry. NOTE: repeat .... collecting stuff to make jewelry. I haven't really made anything yet . It is kind of odd too... I don't even wear a lot of jewelry. Right now I am wearing none... most days I wear none. But I am attracted to it - to little shiny, pretty objects, but I don't actually wear it. Ok, rarely wear it. I will wear this necklace though, once it is made. For now I am still collecting all of the supplies. I am now waiting for the boro beads to made...I will post a photo when done. Maybe, not a promise, even of me wearing it.. ohhhhh.

I have been working on a painting. Well, three paintings. One horse painting on canvas and two other smaller abstracts. A small altered-art metal box, mixed media thing is floating in my head. Maybe it will come out soon. It involves dog tags and color... not sure where it will go, but... .ahhh....that is the journey. Tomorrow is my last free day - then on to three days of intense patient care. pfft-

Stay warm because even in Florida it is supposed to be very cold tonight
