Hope to see you there! HUGS!

for want of a nail...

Okay, so it's actually the opposite of wanting a nail. I didn't want the screw that I found in my tire and I didn't lose a kingdom but I did lose my temper.

The other day I just got out of the driveway to get the kids to school and I hear the "flub flub flub" accompanied with the car wanting to go to one side. Everyone one who's had a flat tire knows what that means.

It wouldn't have been so bad but after half a day of running errands, my spare went flat too. So I had to plunk down a bit of cash for another tire. That with a rock from a gravel truck hitting my windshield over the weekend I think makes three. Do you believe in bad luck coming in threes? I think I'm done for a while.

I did get some good news yesterday. My ex was talking with the new composite artist for my old department. She just returned from a school to get advanced certification. Carrie Stuart Parks and her husband teach agencies (city, county and federal including the Secret Service) around the country. She told the officer I am the second best composite artist in the nation. Pretty good since I don't do them anymore ! LOL. Now if I can transfer that kind of success (where I didn't charge anything for doing that work) to my fine art somehow......hugs!
