Rant, rant, rant....

Had a lovely post planned for today; photos, instructions, something to give you ideas on how to use a product I am quite fond of.
Cropped all the photos, have them ready to go, but BLOGGER, in it's infinite NON-WISDOM, has deemed I cannot load photos today.
That's right.
I am sans photos.
And I can't very well do a quasi-tutorial without photos.
It's Monday, and I know I should probably cut poor old Blogger some slack, but I'm not.
Here's the thing.
If you have a system that worked well, leave it alone.
If you want 1,000,000 chimps hammering out odd code, just for the sake of messing it all up...weeeeelllllll....do it with your OWN computer and not a platform the rest of us have to try and use.
Okay, enough.
I think I'll go watch paint dry, or see if the house cleaned itself, or snooze on the couch..........
Because I am channeling the guy from Seinfeld:
"No photos for YOU!!!"

Monday Musings....

This is what the day is like......

 It's Monday and rainy...a quiet start to a busy week. 
I'm listening to Jill Tracy, which is perfect music for a gray day. Melancholy and bittersweet, it accompanies this morning in mood and color. I highly recommend her work, if you like a pinch of dark arsenic with your sugar.
I have been in contemplative mode; the e-mail box is quiet (and that's unusual) and thankfully I have not wasted the morning on Face Book. Working to rearrange some parts of life.
My weekend was spent scribbling down ideas for working on a slight re-do of the studio. It has been in need for quite a while, and now I have the oomph to tackle it bit by bit.
I may not be Wonder Woman yet, but I still have my satin tights! LOL!
Knowing that it is *possible* to get this space the way I want it makes the stress lift. I love a good challenge and don't mind saying, this is a humdinger. I am doing it strictly for ME.
In between cleaning, moving and dumping things, I allow myself some collage time~~it sweetens the pot. I don't mind the time spent if I can grab a few minutes to add to the paper and glue.
There is still a large project rolling about in my mind. I am making notes and figuring out the details. I thought I would be into it by now, but responsibility for home and hubs and my own lack of table space have delayed it.
You know what?
I don't mind.
It will happen in the right time, and will be glorious. I am thankful for my home, my dear husband, cooking a good meal, sitting at the dinner table with him...laughing about the inane and insignificant.
Life is good.

.....but this is how I feel!!!!

It's the small things that count above all the grandiose ideas and hyperbole. Easy to get caught up in it, but in the end, like cotton candy, melted and nothing to show.
I'll take my rainy day, comfort from the studio, happiness from my life and love.
