back.

here i am!
tim and i made a little pact to each blog again. ive added him to my short list of real-friends' blogs. so, here it goes: to blog again.
today i feel like i had a party last night - and i did! i had this fantastic dance party. although there was some sort of under the radar pandemic last night and turn out was a little wimpy, those of us on the dance floor had a fantastic time. all week im celebrating my birthday, and dancing is my favorite way to do so. and then today i picked up the paint brush again. a few times a year i dedicate myself to painting again, and inevitably the brushes find their way back into the drawer. but if i keep pulling them out, thats ok. so im painting, when its done ill give you a peek. who knows, maybe this time i keep it up. i do have a new spot for my art desk and that can make all the difference. so this summer ill paint, and ill garden. the broccoli and tomato seedlings are doing fantastic! peppers, not so much. but broccoli and tomatoes are my favorite anyhow. now we just need to get the ground dug up before the little seeding pots are terribly rootbound. hm. maybe after my dissertation proposal draft 1 is finished. i did build myself a potting bench. so im on my way.
well, now that i have my blog caught up on my little life, ill return to posting semi-regular thoughts. and so will tim! im holding you to it!
here we go!
