just don't get it

ok. i really should just go to bed now instead i'm blogging again. tgif. the economy is going to hell in a hand basket. at least that's what the news has to say. very depressing news on the economy today. difficult to be upbeat on that. especially when filling up the gas tank, like i had to do today. i'm always on the look out for a bargain, especially when it comes to art supplies. sales are the way to go now-a-days. we are heading down to illinois on sunday. there's an antique radio show there. it's supposed to rain, but hopefully it will not be a wash out. we already have the tickets to go. 

good news: the peonies are starting to open as of today. that means summer is here. the irises are starting to bloom today too. even the siberian irises. i just love them. daffodils and siberian irises are my favorites. don't get me wrong - i love just about all flowers. especially my orchids (which are still blooming), but daffodils and siberian irises are the top on my list.  yesterday and today were HOT & HUMID. yesterday was worse of the two days. tonight its actually mild enough to have the windows open. there was more of a breeze, but it has subsided it seems. tonight i made for dinner, chicken breasts on the grill (my favorite) along with asparagus and salad - more of our CSA veggies. we've eaten most of them. we get the next delivery in a week. can't wait. i did give the rhubarb to a woman that i work with - i'm not all that fond of it and it's on my list of foods to avoid. besides, i don't need any more sweets than i already eat. 

tomorrow marc will be busy for the majority of the day so i will have plenty of time to get some things done around the house and some art project time too. finally. i did do some creative work this week, including making a tiny scrapbook (keychain sized). it was very fun to do. i'm not really into the whole "scrap" thing, but i did love this. i have another one to make. maybe i can work (its not really "work") on that and/or the pet projects i've got going on. i'll try to post some photos this weekend.
