Tiny Plastic Houses

Life Goes On…

The past 6 weeks of no class have found me doing a slew of things to occupy my time. (As if I didn’t have enough on my plate!)

I’ve been looking at studio space. I admit, it would be handy to use my home, but with the kids, the Jas and the pets all running about, it really is rather impractical! I’ve been considering some artist’s groups who have studio space for rent downtown, a small building for sale around the corner and a few small window shops on the local square that are for rent. I’m just not certain where to start or what I’m really looking for yet!

Yes — I bought a new car last month. I know, I know: The way money is right now I should have held onto the little gray ghost a bit longer… But let’s face it. She was almost 10 years old, she’d cost me well over $4,000 in repairs last year, and I really think it was time.

So I bought me a 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T. (Colloquially known as one of the most BAD ASS vehicles on the planet! ;D) A little much? Maybe… A little AWESOME? Definitely!

I also drove the 5 hour trek to my dad’s house in Southern Missouri last month to see him, my gram and some of my other relatives in the area. Was saddened to learn that some of the biggies from the Nestle corp had purchased property surrounding their spot of land to build opulent and over-priced vacation homes on, greatly affecting the way folks see their little slice of the countryside.

And last, but not least, I’ve been revamping the site. I feel this new, cleaner look makes the site easier to navigate and really highlights what I’ve been trying to do with it all along.

In all other cases, life is good. Classes take up again for me tomorrow and I hope to learn much about lighting. This is something I struggle with and I pray I don’t make too poor a showing.

See you on the flip side,
