summer joys.

so, incase you didn't notice by the rising temperature (and the fact that there is no school) it is summer. hallelujah. summer for me means a few things: no school, getting to spend more time w/ my man, painting alot, and working. and yes, i did just say working. last wednesday, i went in for my first job interview at merritt's bakery (i was interviewed by my cousin, go figure.). and, i got a job!!!! i start on wednesday, and i will be working the afternoon shift and that insures me a good 35-40 hours of working!!!!! which means....... that i am getting ever closer to owning a car (hopefully a classic vw bug....). so, naturally... i'm quite excited.

as for other things that have been happening...... i have been painting some. ok, alot. last week i did 2 paintings... and today i finally did a lovely painting for miss nellie rae!

i think i am actually going to be selling this one... or atleast, that what i PLAN to do.. but, who knows. i do love it quite alot....... hmm. i just have to let go.

and this lovely lady is hanging on my wall.. definitely not getting rid of her. this painting actually has a design for something else (that mr. howe knows about) in it.........
anyways.. i am quite excited about painting at the moment.. since i hope to sell alot of my artwork this summer... so, along w/ merritt's and selling my artwork.. i will hopefully have enough money for a car!! and, then i am saving for a camera... which IS saving for college, thank you very much mother.. since i kinda need a camera to take photography classes in college and to submit acceptable photos. speaking of photos, i am a horrible (aspiring to be) photographer.. who still hasn't gotten any pics of her and her man. how sad. and, i have had quite a few opportunities to do so...... but, havent. hmm. must make that happen if he comes over monday, hopefully.
anyways... that's what's been going on in my world lately.
love all & xoxo. abs
