notoriety


I walked into the post office yesterday to get stamps for my latest batch of post cards.  My usual guy wasn't there.  I recognized the guy behind the counter, but I don't think he's ever helped me.  As I approached the counter with my fistful of colorful mail he says "let me guess - Isaacson?"
HA!

Here's the ridiculously ambitious to-do list I jotted down in my journal yesterday morning:
  • work on composition class lesson #4
  • make 10 postcards for iHanna's postcard swap
  • catch up on Lifebook lessons (I think I'm four weeks behind)
  • finish pages in traveling sketchbook so I can mail it Monday
  • write a blog post about cartwheeling
  • work in book for crop circle group
  • carve a new stamp for stamp swap

And even though I left work early yesterday and do not have any parental responsibilities, I've managed only to eat a lot of cheese, watch True Grit (the new Cohen Brothers version) go to bed early, drink a pot of coffee and read blogs for 2 hours.  
Time to get my art on.

What's on your agenda for the weekend?

  2. I love that you shared your experience at the post office. I think my post office thinks I am crazy for trading so much art through the mail. :))) I know they talk about it.

  3. You have quite a list going! As for me, a little computer browsing and a little painting is all I have planned. And maybe a little snooze later in the day...I got up early this morning!
