...................Why should I be surprised?

People never really are what tehy seem to be anymore. People have forgotten how to do the right thing, no matter what the cost. It is easier to not care and just do whatever.

I have resigned from my position from Angie's Amazing Race. I created it, gave it breath, and watched it grow along with other friends. Angie was a friend that lost her battle to breast cancer and this was formed in her memory. She was such a fun person, and loved to laugh. Out of honoring her memory this event was created, and has been a blast to do for the past four years.

But things change, people change.

Oh forget it. I'll write more later.

I keep thinking I'll post.

I am beginning to think that Facebook is keeping me from posting, I'm posting my thoughts there. Shame on me.

I went to the painting summit this summer with Donna Dewberry and friends and got so energized that I couldn't wait to come home and start painting again and had tons of fresh ideas for my students.

While I was at the summit I found out that I would have the chance to teach at AC Moore, I was so excited, but nervous too. I've always taught in small settings where I was in control of where and when, now I would really have to be responsible for thinking ahead, and as most of you know my brain doesn't work to good in the future. lol.

Anyway, classes have started and I'm having a blast. Here are some photos of the first two class at AC Moore and also at the Senior Center.
Well forget the photos for now. We are at McDonalds tonight using their WIFI and I can't get the photos to upload. But they are on my facebook page if you want to look at them.

What a summer this has been. I am on an emotionally roller coaster, going from my Mom being sick and the doctors telling us that she was going to die within a few days, she is still living and kicking, to my sister being told that she has cancer, three masses in her lungs, to being told she has a rare pneumonia, to waiting for my surgery. I go to Chapel Hill on the 13th to find out what is going on. I have been dealing with this for months, I'm ready to just say forget it. If it isn't going to kill me then let's just leave things alone.

I need to start selling some of my art, want to buy any? lol. Where we are living now is right on a corner of a semi-busy road, I think I will start setting up a table on Saturdays and see if I can't sell some tee shirts or glasses or something. I told Phil that we need to have at least 1000 dollars extra a month to make ends meet, I am falling short on my end. So between classes and if I can sell some of my stuff that will help. There is an apartment building that just went up across the street with tons of college kids....Christmas is coming up and they are going to need gifts. Might as well let them purchase from me, right.

I've got to tell you, McDonald's is a hopping place late at night. Phil and I are sitting here with our laptops, another Husband and Wife are here, and now a young lady just came in with hers. It is opened all night long, guess we could stay here as long as we want too. Too bad they don't have sofas in here. lol.
