If Only I Were As Cool As My Dogs Think I am!

Welcome To My Somewhat Coherent Babbling

Little Rays of Light

I've been sick for a few days with some wretched sinus thing. I thought on Saturday it was gone, but it was only resting, gaining power to way-lay me on Sunday. :down: Hermit is feeling better though and returned to work today :up: :D I felt decent this morning and had a list of errands to do. They were piling up from the past few days that I didn't get out or get chores done. awww

So off I go this morning :smile: merrily on my way to do stuff. :smurf: (and yes this included mailing the trade cards!) It ended up taking me 3+ hours to go to the post office, the vets office, Hastings for movies, Braum's for milk and ice cream, Walmart for a few groceries and other things, and to buy feed for Sun. During this time, the sinus headache joined forces with my nemesis, FibroMonster, and began to torture me needlessly. Everything hurts! I could not get home fast enough. :irked: Lastly, I picked up the mail on my way in. This was my train of thought:

I'm almost home, thank God! There sure is a lot of mail today. What did we get? Junky catalog, I'll recycle that. Bill. Junk mail, Junk mail. Bank Statements, I need to look at those. Bill. Hmm, this is odd, whose hand writing is that? Cool stamps! Very colorful... ... ... South AFRICA??!!!! Why am I getting mail from Africa? :confused:

:idea:

YAY it's from Bianca! I wasn't expecting anything so soon! :hat: :D

There's more, better see the rest...
Bill
Postcard? ... ... OMG! It's from Gavin! :D :D ... ... London... ha ha ... I got a postcard from a guy who is orginally from Ireland, lives in Sweden, however was visiting family in England when he mailed this. p:

Weee.... two postcards!!! :yes: :hat: :D



So you see, these small gestures from friends I've never met who live across the globe just made my day. I was greatly cheered by getting mail.

The Lesson? Send a card or letter to someone you care about. It's so uplifting to get 'real' mail unexpectedly! :D

Real mail? :eyes:

Get better soon :worried: I've had a bit of a cold for a week and it's rather wearying.

Done! Rays of light are flying across the globe...

If I could just learn to really draw.... :right:

Hermitess 6. October 2009, 02:51

Yes Adele, REAL mail! I touched it and everything. :smile:

Henry I can't draw either, as you will soon see, no drawing! Which is leaving me to wonder how the heck I'm going to do the cartoon characters! p:

That is why I have put in my request at the library for Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. A revised edition came out entitled The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by the same author.

Will have to wait a while to get it, it is quite popular. I know I have a creative streak, it's just learning how to tap into it more effectively.

I love real mail. We need to trade addresses. Although, my mail won't be international. awww

Hermitess 6. October 2009, 16:47

I left out going to the health food store in my list of what I did yesterday. Homer: Doh! too much activity!


Henry that sounds like a good idea. :up:
I can actually draw a little if I'm looking at a picture I can draw a copy sort of well (and not by tracing LOL) So I may try to draw the cartoon characters if I can find photos online.
Am I allowed to make robotdog and flatulencedog into cartoons? They'd be great! LOL

Sarah, of course! My address is in your inbox. :yes:
You mean Texas isn't it's own country :eek:

I mail people I just never get mail back so this will be much more fun for me! :D

Oh cool, two postcards in one day! It probably won't get any better than that. :happy:

I hope you get better soon! :up:

Hermitess 6. October 2009, 16:59

Thank you Zaphira! :love:

r♡se 6. October 2009, 18:39

That's cool! Unexpected snail mail is a real treat (except when it's bills and stuff like that, of course) :D.

Henry 6. October 2009, 21:39

Robotdog could be drawn mechanical-like; say a pet for the main robot in the movie "I Robot". Flatulencedog could use her aromatic powers to launch her off the ground!! Just add a cape!

Hermitess 6. October 2009, 22:29

:lol:

:lol:

:lol:

WOW

That was one visualization I hadn't really put in my mind!

ShallowMuse 8. October 2009, 13:02
