Conversations with myself today…

6:15am:  Good Morning!  It has been weeks – weeks, I tell you – since any serious creative work has been done in your studio and today the dry spell ends.  Today is your day!  Your day to create!  Hooray!

8:00 – 9:00am:  Here you are enjoying the morning with your husband, having your coffee, doing the crossword puzzle, cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast.  You’ll be in your studio in mere minutes, woo hoo!

9:15am:  [Cursing your husband for asking you to drive him to work at the last minute along with, oh, can I also pick up the dry cleaning and stuff for dinner?]  Growl.  Try not to cry.  Precious studio minutes are being lost waiting for the driver in front of me driving ten miles UNDER the speed limit!!!!

10:00am:  FINALLY we’re in!  I know I could have gotten totally annoyed at the two women who stopped me to ask about our house as I was taking the trash cans out, but there were so fun, friendly and fabulous I didn’t mind taking a little time to chat and show them our kitchen.  Maybe I’ve just met two new friends.  A SCORE for this city!

11:00am:  Now that I’ve made my phone calls – including one to this extraordinary creative soulmate -  cleared off my art table and changed into grubby art clothes, I think I’ll do a little work on my new blog.  It won’t launch until the new year, but it needs a lot of structuring and there are plenty of entries I can do ahead of time.  Just a few minutes, I promise…

1:00pm:  I’m starving now, go eat lunch.  P.S.  You still haven’t created anything today.  Not that I’m trying to lay some kind of guilt trip on you or anything but geez, get on with it woman.

1:21pm:  Since the day is now HALF OVER and my grand plans of getting messy, spilling open creatively and diving back into my art supplies haven’t come to fruition in the slightest, I think it is time to put on some great music, step away from the computer, and GO CREATE.

It’s about damn time….
