going shopping
Mom and I have some last-minute errands to run before I skip town tomorrow. (I scheduled another crack-of-dawn flight. Egads.)
We're going to the art supply. Yay! I will be there more often soon. One of my Yule gifts to myself was a Watercolor class at the Art League. w00t!
I am so excited. It starts my first week back in town. I am really looking forward to getting into more media on paper, and perhaps combining the watercolors with the pencils. I had great success with watercolor pencils on my travels during high school. My Poland journal is full of great art. I need to get back to that.
This afternoon the kids promised they'd be around to play games, so yay. Hopefully we can get in some railroad-building, some gloomy family wrangling, and some volcano sacrificing. w00t! Mom and I have played a few games in the course of our holiday celebrations (which included reading the comics, doing the crossword, baking cookies, and reading aloud to each other from The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation and The Quotable Atheist, which I gave to Mom for Christmas. Yes, irony, I know.) but we haven't had everybody together yet.
Then I have three pieces of digital art to finish and send before I leave town, and I must pack. I am bringing some art with me to work on, already in progress, and will have to decide about the rest of it. I am going to freeze my butt off! Where did I leave my tights? And my boots? At least I have a new scarf.
Ok, must run. Happy Boxing Day/First Day of Christmas, people!
