lost it, found it

I drove into Dallas last night... It's been raining here.... I'm glad. I was not looking forward to coming home to the heat... and so far, it hasn't been hot at all.... humid and rainy... but I can totally do that!

I had a lot to do today... i'm about to leave for Orlando early Friday morning... and tomorrow I have the shoot for "The Art of Living Gallery" show on the Veria network. I had to figure out where they could film... Since I don't have a home and I'm living out of my car and storage unit, it makes finding a spot to film trickier.

My friends, the Bowmans, have a studio (Bowman Glass) in Dallas... I called them and well do it there. But they want to film my work and me talking about it... My originals before NC, have all sold, which is awesome, but now I have to find stuff for the show!
They also want to film me working on a piece... I may use one of my encaustics... like the owl... I'll go buy a griddle tomorrow morning... or maybe I should work on finishing the "Fitting In" piece (which is the lady with antlers)... But that piece is collage.. and I'm not sure how cool that would look, just cutting and pasting... I think encaustic will be better... or acrylic.

And I need to go to storage and dig up some of the bird drawings I did last year... and the first thing I did after Carter died... I didn't think about it at all... it just came out of me...

I know they're somewhere in storage...

I had so much on my mind.... and felt stressed and overwhelmed.... I started losing stuff... I lost my phone for several hours, the key to Sara's house, my keys (well, I lose those daily)... I just kept mis-placing EVERYTHING! And that was stressing me out even more.

I went to JoAnne's Fabric and Craft supply store... I bought a quilting iron with attachments (for encaustics)....

I really just wanted to rest all day... or maybe it was escaping.... not sure.



Dylan and I drove up to Plano, to visit and stay at Carter's parents. It is so good to see them... Dylan thought so too. As soon as we pulled up to their house, he was crying to get out of the car and say hi.

I'm sure tomorrow's TV thing will be fine... I just don't want to look like an idiot. :0)

Oh! My mysterious friend, "A" sent me the funniest youtube video today... I forwarded out through email... but it was so funny I thought I'd post it on here: (Thanks A!)... seriously.... I think I peed a little:
