Ephemeral:

adj. lasting a very short time; short-lived; transitory.

This seems to be the word of the day; however, I feel this is not the word I would ever use to describe anything about me or the things I make.

Anyway, signed a lease on a place today with my future roommates Manndi and Allison. I am excited for what is to come. I think this will be a good change. Maybe not living by myself just yet but I will definitely be among friends I consider almost like family.

This reminds me I need to pay rent on the place I am living in now.

I also need to email Em, for our friendship and our sanity.

Slipped and fell last night in the hall. My right hip ached this morning but not too bad. I should be more careful next time and remember I am not getting any younger.

I had a good visit with my professor today. I have some new ideas and have been researching some. I need to start something and see where it takes me. Maybe a trip to Wal-Mart and the clearance fabric?

Skype session with April tonight. Yay!

It has been beautiful out.

I am excited to go to work tomorrow. I wish Megan was going to be there but Eduardo will be so that will have to be enough. He is mi amigo whether he considers me one or not.

I am excited that a dear friend asked for my measurements. He said he was going to make something for me. This makes me smile.

I have letters to write.

I need to make another 'To Do TODAY' lists for tomorrow.

love, B

I started a new blog. I felt the other was just so heavy. So here is my new blog, Miss Bridge. Enjoy.


So down to business:

Looking at two places to possible live this coming August. Keep your fingers crossed that we sign a lease on Wednesday! I am ready to have a home come this fall.

I started a 'To Do TODAY' List. Thus far, I have completed all but two tasks on my list from yesterday. Today is a new day and therefore calls for a new list.

Tonight was good old fashion fun. I love being surrounded by people I love the most. Some where not here. I think you know who you are.

I found out last week a really good friend of mine is going to be having a baby in October. I am so happy for her. I cannot wait for her to be a mother, she will be the Best.

I received an email from a very dear friend of mine. Those pictures of us are PERFECT! I miss you like the sun misses the flower. peppermint tea soon I think and maybe a nice long walk.

A friends bf is leaving town at the end of the week. I know she will be down and out for awhile. It is a change but that is what fuels us to move on with life, I feel.

Another dear friend of mine started meditating and suggested I take it up. I think I made that decision yesterday, except meditate for me is starting church up again. I miss it and that is my time to reflect on my life and on others I have touched and will be touching by my thoughts, actions and words. So this Saturday evening  I am going 'home', so to speak.

K-Dawg, was pretty down and out this evening. He said he wasn't feeling very inspired lately. Dude you are human, non-productivity happens. Even though we are artist, doesn't necessarily mean we have to produce art all the time. Life happens in between I am learning.

I was also asked what I plan on doing with my life after this degree is finished. I plan on simply living. I really just want to paint and keep painting. So MFA in painting is in order. After that I just want to paint, sew and make people I love, things I know they will love. I just want to make people smile and just be happy and warm. That is my goal in life.

I am reading a book about Robert Irwin, a painter and sculpture in the 1950's-90's. He has many great ideas about art and life in general. Seeing is forgetting the thing one sees, I now understand the title better after almost completing the book. I also found it very helpful and to the point when he says, If you are going to do it, just do it. Commit. Simple as that, commit and do it.

I am getting there slowly yet surely. Commit and do it. The end.

Miss my studio mate. I need to call him up some time. I have ideas to bounce off him.

I also want a dream night soon. Need to make this happen. I just need the magic number.

Anyway, getting really late. Work in the morning.

Good night,
-B
