Backdrop of life
Driving to work this morning the sun was hitting the mountains just right to make them look as if they were the background to a painter's perfect painting.
It doesn't happen very often that the mountains look like that, but it always makes me think.
I wish that I would have had the time to stop and take a picture for you all. There really isn't any way to describe how it looks. I mean you can imagine a realistic oil painting, where the mountains stand out from the sky and everything is vibrant. But it would be different for you than what it really looks like.
It almost calls to your soul, and begs you to stop and appreciate the perfection of the moment.
Maybe I should have stopped this morning.
Once I got to work we discovered that a bucket placed below a leak next door had overflowed, and most of the area around the desk was wet.
I spent close to to hours with a wet/dry vac getting as much water as I could out, and even still the carpet is wet. But no more would come out when I gave the vac to the guy next door so that he could use it.
After that the day has pretty much been boring. I got the confirmation that my tax returns were accepted. Now just to hope that the refunds come in quick. If I pay my laptop off before the 23rd of feb I won't have any finance charges for it, but if I don't I'll have about $300 more in finance charges to pay. And my refund should just pay off my laptop.
Moving on... I am thinking of heading over to Hobby Lobby in a day or so and picking up a sketch pad and one of those art sets that has the pastels and pencils and other stuff in it. The urge to draw still hasn't gone away after the dancer, and in fact it's gotten worse.
See what all those nice comments did.
But if I'm really going to draw it would be better for me to do it in a notebook so that the drawings don't get badly crumpled or lost. And I'd like to add color. Anyway, we'll see.
Later all.
