A Simple Country Mouse

I don't know if you know this bloggers as I'm not terribly apt to talk about it, but I love to paint. While I leave most shoved in the closet or as gifts to friends and family, I still enjoy it. I don't plan to sell any as I'm pretty sure they never would sell anyways, but it brings me peace. Beyond that, I don't care. I love it. And I don't paint like any normal person. This is me we are talking about. When do I ever do anything normal? I love to get my hands involved and smear the paint to blend it the way I want. Then I use brushes to get the detail I want. And though I rarely get to paint anymore (I'm just to darn busy) I did get to paint today. Well tonight after the munchkin went to bed. It was wonderful. At Sound Castle they used to laugh because I'd be covered in paint. All over my hands, and face. Up my arms and then I'd go to shower and find it in weird places like my knees and ankles. Then again I normally paint in shorts. Should probably...

What do you think of on rainy days? Do you think of deary days, and a drizzle that just wont quit? Or are you more like me where rainy days are the only ones you can justify sitting and either reading a good book, or actually catching up on the shows you love but never have time to keep up on? That's me. I love a good book, but lately catching up on the shows I love has been a nice break from reality. One where my brain doesn't have to be engaged much. When I read a book, for me it usually better than tv because I get to create what the characters look like, sound like, and their little quirks come out in a way that I get to imagine. However my brain has been a little on overload so the not having to think about all of that and just focus on the plot that the shows have been giving me has been good. Don't worry I'm still reading. Just not as much as usual, which basically means one book a day instead of two or three. Like I said, still reading. Anyways, I believe I prom...

Ever have those days of longing? Longing for the perfect burger, or pizza, or coffee? Or perhaps the sun, or snow, or (in some strange cases) rain? What about friends, family, or even just someone to talk to? What about love, passion, hope, or maybe a bit of excitement? A day of longing isn't just a day of something inane, or something deep and meaningful. It's merely a day where you are so desperately wanting just one thing anything just might tip you over the point of exhaustion and suddenly waterworks appear. Yup, it's been one of those days. Gamer (and though I've spent stupid amounts of time trying to come up with something better and still no name in sight) has been gone for a week to his CDL training. With two weeks left to go, and a crying, teething, feverish, cranky, deciding to go through the terrible 2's at 15 months, newly walking baby with little food other than pasta, leftover pizza, and chicken in the house and no gas in the car (until about 2 hours a...

I know I posted last night but little Space Monkey woke me up early, so I thought I'd post since I was up anyway. Good thing I don't drink much, granted I don't get hangovers. While most of you who read this might get them, I promise it will pass. But at any rate, this blog won't be quite so heavy. More reminiscent of the older posts of mine. As usual, bloggers, you never ow where I am but I will say that today is going to be an interesting day because I'm road tripping! Mostly to see family but also to get a few laughs in and show off my daughter to the world. I can't believe she is already over a year old and some of my family has never met her. It's crazy! Ok mommy brag time. My baby girl is amazing. Not that all kids aren't but when the munchkin is yours there's just something about it that makes it seem so much more amazing. Maybe it's because when you look at them you see yourself and someone else. How incredible is that? So right now she ...

Hello world, I know it's been awhile but I thought since its New Years and all it was time for a post. I promise I be getting back into posting more soon as I will finally have internet back. This won't be like many of my past posts as I'd like to think that in some ways the past year I've grown, but bear with me as I stumble through my thoughts. A new year. While the calendar says "Look, it's time to begin anew" time doesn't start over every year and the unresolved problems of last year are still present this year, still waiting to be solved. I just really finished bringing in the new year by watching a movie that was supposed to take place with a girl in high school. Oddly enough it had some similarities to my life. (I promise this will all make sense) While I've long since been out of high school, I seem to find that the people who thrived on drama then still do. Ironically I'm the one they call dramatic. Yes I have my dramatic moments but...
