NYC Painting

I finally finished the NYC painting I have been working on... I think. I may add more to it when I feel like it, but for now it's done.

The Music in Me

Today Brooklynn started guitar lessons in hopes that by the time she is in high school, she is a decent guitarist. Nana was nice enough to give Brooklynn an old guitar she had laying around. Since Brookie is a lefty, we had to restring the guitar for a left-handed player. The pick guard now lays on the wrong side, but it doesn't seem to bother her. She has names this guitar "Dawn" for it's "colors of the sunrise". From here on out, I promise to encourage her, expose her, and support her guitar endeavors. I have signed up to take guitar lessons with her for encouragement, have started taking her to concerts with live musicians, and will always take the time to practice with her. I even listen to countless hours of Miley Cyrus music and refrain from slitting my wrists while doing so. Oh, the sacrifices we make for our kids. Good luck, Bstarr!

Taking My Time

I'm taking my time.  Time to think about the past, the present, and the future.   Time to think about Brooklynn.  About me.  Time to volunteer at her school.  Time to listen rather than rush.  Time to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Time to enjoy these years. Because time is running out.  Time to breathe. Time to sleep in. Time to walk away. Time to run. Time to recycle the old and start buying the old, too.  Time to plan that cafe. Time to just do it. Time to take my time and enjoy being loved. Time to feel music and depict words. Time to feel free. To just be.

Halloween Costumes

Anyone who knows me understands how much I love, love, love fall and winter. One of the many things enjoyable about fall is Halloween! One of Bstarr's favorite things to do during Halloween season is to visit the costume stores as frequently as she can. Today was our first visit of the season. I didn't expect our first visit to be so fruitful, as Brooklynn usually takes a few trips to decide on her costume. However, this year she knew exactly what she wanted to be- a vampire. WHAT?! Not a princess? Or a fairy? Or a ballerina? Or some sparkly, pink costume resembling a tutu??? She's definitely growing up. *sigh* On a separate trip, we helped Jeff pick out a costume for himself and his new girlfriend, Naomi. After many costume changes, he settled on being some sort of demon priest with Naomi as Silk Spectra. A couple of hoots. One of the rejected costumes.
