<\/a><\/a>\u00a0I found this spider this morning in my backyard–a\u00a0very attractive one at that.\u00a0She was resting on the tomato plant. I was in the yard doing dumbell lunges–one thing led to another and soon she was posing for a photo session.<\/div>\n
I am missing John’s lens that he lent to me for my Malaysia trip. Shooting little friends difficult with my lens. I need a macro.<\/div>\n

So stressed–I always loose my appitite and feel manic when I’m stressed–like I’m on a treadmill and I can’t get off.
I have officially pulled out of my MFA–returning to finish my MA. The MFA program was not what I wanted. I don’t want to sink $10,000 and 2 more years into my Ed. I am dying to finish, get a p\/t job for the soicalization and then work like crazy painting and writing.
I believe I can finish my MA by January 2011.
I never worked harder applying for anything then applying for the MFA program—all that effot for what? I’l tell you what. I needed to organize my work and really examine where I’ve come from and where I am going creatively. It clarrified my goals for me and now I am ready to make it all happen. Plowing through the UBCO MFA hit me like a jail sentence. The classes were repeats of what I know. I knew it was not the MFA for me.
I must leave now and take Pip to her first skating lesson. It is so sunny and warm outside (I am in a tank top) that it will be odd headng into an ice rink. Borrowed little Artemisia’s skates for the day as the lesson \u00a0 came upon me suddenly and I forgot to buy Pip skates.
Mist has 2 friends over, jamming for a David Bowie airband. Tabs is making supper with her friend Mickie. They’re starting with a pumpkin pie from scratch. She is making the pastry as I type this.
Signed up for Salsa lessons tonight. Only because I love to salsa dance and I am heading into a fall slump of feeling like I have to get the ‘H-E-double-hockey-sticks’ out of Kelowna for awhile. I need an “outside of my box” experience to calm myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
