upstairs Room

I still haven’t exercised in so long.  No time.  I am going to my Mom’s house for dinner tonight and I plan to go for a ride on my bike when I am there.  I need some time to myself.

I took my cousin to the Distillery District and we had a really nice time yesterday.  We checked out some of the stores there and art galleries.  It was so nice.  I love that area.. not because I could shop there.. because I never could afford it but because it totally inspires me. It makes me just want to go home and paint and draw.  Not that I ever have the chance to.

My cousin thinks that art is missing from my life.  That I really need to start painting again. I think she is right, but to actually get to the painting part takes lots of planning and organizing.  These kids have to be occupied, and all of the million things that need to get done need to be left alone and just ignored.  Easier said than done.

Since my younger cousin (the one I took to the Distillery District) was here visiting her elder sister,  my sister and my cousins decided they wanted to take me out for my birthday.  My birthday is on Sunday.  We went to a Thai restaurant near my house which was really good.. or at least it was the last time I tried it.  Last night it was just okay.  We had a nice time though.. and it was nice to be just the four of us.. it has been a long long time since we’ve done that.

The scale continues to be kind and things are going down.  I am close to getting to my revised birthday goal of 175lbs.
