Current Mood : Whimsical
I completely forgot that today was the first
day of Beloved Hubby’s graphic arts class – the one he’s teaching under the
auspices of the local homeschooling association, at the Library. So we were up
early for it, and walked out to see the other duck, the one that roosts nightly
inside the poolside plants…with her four new ducklings ! Sooo cute ! They got
half a raisin bagel for adorableness. And I now know why Howard is now
uber-possessive of the Meow Mix he disdained last week. Who knew ducklings
liked cat food ? If there’s one vaguely fish-shaped kernel left, they’ll upend
his bowl and eat it for him.
I confess, I was mostly going to the art
class to keep Beloved and Dearest Son company. I don’t draw. Never had any
talent in it, no matter how hard I tried, back in my misspent youth. While I
believe Chuck Jones’ theory that, once you get the first couple hundred thousand
bad drawings out of the way, you start getting really good, I just never cared
enough to get that far. Until doll clothes came along, that is. I’m still on my
first couple hundred bad doll outfits…
Anyway, while we weren’t expecting a huge
turn-out, the few that said they would be there…well, weren’t. So we did the
class by ourselves, just us three. And it was a lot more fun than I thought it’d
be. I did today’s Ghoulia sketch, just on a whim, and puzzled out a couple new
outfits I wanna sew soon. That’s when one of the families came in, a bit late,
but better late than never. Beloved’s a gifted teacher. And both kids – and their
mom – enjoyed the abbreviated class. We booked the room for next Tuesday amid
eager kids saying they were already looking forward to it.
Cleaned up around the place, did a load of
laundry. Didn’t find a single penny. Ah, well. As the afternoon cooled down, Dearest wanted
to run his scooter around, and I figured it was about time I made peace with my
bicycle. It still seems just a bit too tall for me, but there’s no way to lower
the seat any further, darn it. Unfortunately, the handlebars are so loose, I
can’t use it. Hopefully Beloved can fix it later. I’m hoping to ride it a bit
before it gets too cold.
Since I didn’t get to sew today, I got the
dishes done so I can tomorrow !
