Well...I still have a job...

And contrary to the lolcat pic I posted..I did not spend Monday in bed hiding.

After my roomie gave me a morning pep talk ( I know he meant well, but please, why is it okay for *you* to stay in bed till 10 and me not say anything?? It was only 7:15!! Guess he was being proactive - whatever...it did work)

I got myself up, did yoga, which Id been neglecting to do (hmm- coincidence- I think not!)ate a good breakfast, showered and dressed, fully, with bra and socks and all! Brushed my teeth, took my vitamins. I had one midday appointment (Im sure cause I checked both websites 3 times before leaving) and took roomie to get his car tires rotated and run his errands while we were out. I ate lunch, I did some laundry, and then I took a short nap.

Then I did something Ive been going to do for awhile..like a month, since I bought the damn things. I drew a picture with the watercolor pencils Id bought a couple months ago. It was a picture of the mountains Id seen about 12 days ago. I had wanted to go look at the fall leaves, and had also wnated to go up to the mountains. So, after hemming and hawing most of the day...at 2:30 I started driving up to Dahlonega. OMG...they were amazing. They were the sounthern tip of the Appalachians, and even though I was still about 15 miles from them, maybe more...what I saw was gorgeous.Huge golden orange peaks, as far as the eye could see.

Anyways, back to the watercolor drawing.I sat in my yoga room, it was a sunny day, my yoga room gets lots of great afternoon sun, so I thought itd be a good place to be creative. The roomies dog laid in the sunny spot while I sat on pillows on my yoga mat and got creative.

While it more closely resembled mountains of...orange cake...lol...it had its good points. The tree I put on one side turned out pretty good...though the roomies dog gave it a two paws down. I asked what she thought of the painting, held it up for her, said "I think the tree is the best part." She gave that little chuff that dogs do...and a look that said "Yeah, right." If she could roll her eyes she would have, Im sure. LOLOL

Then I played around a bit with the pencils, made a rainbow, a butterfly and some purple hearts...just messing around. It felt good. :)

I also started myself back on St John's.

Today I had a kinda busy day- 5 pet sitting appointments and then I cleaned for the Newfies. OK, I cleaned for their dads...lol, but I cleaned up the Newfies hair..and slobber. LOL I missed my boys, the big lumps of fur and slobber and love. Learned a good lesson tonight, herding Newfies is alot like herding cats. Its very difficult to move a dog that weighs over 130 pounds. Yes, one weighs 137, the other weighs 139. So, they pretty much go wherever and whenever they want.But, dont get me wrong, they are pretty much well behaved..they just have..well..moments. LOL Thye got out the garage door as I was leaving, so I got out and helped their owner get then back in. Treats and taking one dog at a time is how its done, FYI. :)

OK..its late, Im off to dreamland.
