it has been great having FOUR days off. i have worked so hard at the artTable that my spine is nearly frozen. i have been in sort of a frenzy of Making. prepared board books. a new visual journal. a glorified debris journal. the supports for the glorified debris pieces themselves. other stuff. trying to clean out and use up. *and* update my artSite, too. it is such a mess and so outdated. i am thinking i shall run it more like a photoblog now, with new things appearing and somehow have galleries with my favorite oldstuff. and maybe i will just write here (if you could call it that, exactly). i’ll probably make some images, too. i guess. i don’t know! i just want to DO everything and do it now.

yesterday was a good first day. posole made, and champagne imbibed, just as planned. traci and her boy came over, we all ate, then traci and i retired to artMaking. we worked into the night. she was making the most amazing journal ever. i was a little shamed by my altered book journal, but hell. i will be so excited if i just keep it up. in my own messy way. a visual journal seems so important.

tonight we will finish the LOTR. number three. they are fun, but i don’t see what all the Big Deal was about…

what else? betsy has safely returned from her First Road Trip and returned the rental car without a dent. yay for her! little margaret. i miss her so much…it seems shocking that she has lived away from home for a year now. i wish so much for them to be happy.

other things, i guess. but more art. more. now…

a new year. a new journal.
