slept straight through the night the last few nights which is a total shocker, since I usually toss and a turn and takes me forever to go to sleep. I have this problem you see, when my body wants to go to sleep my mind does not let me.
Talked to a few people in Chicago last night, Wow, I look back and it baffles me that I used to live there and did for so long. I'm hopefully going to go and visit there in the early fall, it's too hot to go in the dead of summer.I miss it like crazy, the city, my friends and just about everything about it but I don't think that I would ever move back. I left on a whim for several reasons. My mother recovering from cancer was one and the need for an all around change was another, I felt like I was running in tiny circles with my job, and doing the same thing over and over, meeting the same people again and again. It was starting to get to me, I needed something new, so I got up and left.
It's funny how things can really turn around when you least expect it, how new things can develop out of the blue. I have always been very consumed and fulfilled with my job in many ways. I'm rarely bored with things and or life, I have always kept my self busy, mainly because I like to be. Life does not bore me, I've always been o.k. with being by myself. I've lived alone for the majority of my life., I mean I let a few friends and one ex bf stay with me for about a week or so but that's about it. Maybe it's the only child syndrome, being a workaholic, or just plain neurotic or whatever, but I have never had one of the needs to be around other people all the time. If I crave company, I'll go out and see some friends or just get out of the house and I'm fine later.
o.k. this is getting redundant and I'm getting off topic for the main intention of this post.
So I started working on some new hats yesterday, LOVE the way they turned out. I based them off of Iris flowers, had a few of those "happy mistake" moments. I was trying out some new folding and some shapes that I did not intend to make did! Now I just need to find some good fabric paint and dye. The stuff from Michaels is crap.
I'll post some pictures later when they start to take shape. I'm dying to finish them.
