When I came home from choir practice last night, there were two packages waiting for me. Two! Woo hoo!
Thinkgeek? Awesome!
One of the packages was the laptop I left at the Seattle airport. It was packed very securely, and included lots of styrofoam peanuts. They were full of static. I couldn’t resist sticking a couple onto Gus.
I thought he would bite them, but he just sniffed them.
The other package was a blank book with unlined pages. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but it was on sale, and I thought it might help me do some watercolor painting. I did watercolor a long time ago, and enjoyed it. I’ve wanted to get back to it, but haven’t taken the time. I thought maybe having a cool-looking book would encourage me to do some quick little paintings… maybe of my garden or something. I’m not holding any great hope that I will actually paint in this book, but at least I’m trying something.
Its a really nice cover with clasps and everything.
I am very happy about your laptop!
‘Ditto’ to what Gretchen said! Hooray! Hooray!! I am so glad your laptop is home again!
That painting journal is cool. It looks like something from Lord of the Rings. I hope you’ll post occasional photos of the paintings. 😀
Glad you got your laptop back!
Many years ago when I had to teach art as well as science, my students made some beautiful “Georgia O’Keeffe” style watercolor paintings of flowers. I bet your garden will have plenty of inspiration for your paintings. Have fun!
You were the best artsy science teacher I do believe I’ve ever known, Miss Debbie. Miss that still today….sniffle…
Thanks Carol!
WOO HOO!!!!! Nice To Get “SPECIAL” Packages!!!! <3 Aunt Bev 🙂
…and who left you the pruning shears (or whatever that tool is)?
What a relief to have gotten back the laptop – what hoops did they finally make you go through: DNA testing matched to imprints left on the keys, or what?
