patience

yesterday we had someone come to see the house, so my son and I went on a date to the Wired Monk for some hot chocolate, homemade cookies (i brought them, is that bad? :)), and browsing of the lego website on my laptop - this is my three-year-old boy's favourite thing to do.  as we were looking at the many amazing lego creations he will never own, we frequently had to wait for a video or picture to load.  he would look at me and in a very serious voice, and with a very serious face, say "patience.".
patience.
nothing's changed in my crazy life of waiting, so i won't bore you with the details.  i do find that i have some extra painting time on my hands however.  i've painted this beauty (pictured with my office cabinet to show the size - it's around 2x3feet.  it's the same as the "succulents" painting somewhere on the right) if anyone's interested, and i'm a-hankerin' for something else.  fill my palette!!

i promise that when there is some exciting news to tell, you will not be the first to hear, oh blogspot of my heart, but you will be on the list of intimates to share with.  who the heck reads this thing anyways?  i hear rumours but i'm always curious...
