2011, holy moly, how did we get here that fast???

Well yep, starting a blog, here it is, nothing fancy, no frills, no fuss... thought a great New Years Resolution, and may be easier than the 'kick-start' diet & no midweek alcohol (except for special occasions), oh and writing a novel (I have to improve my spelling, gramma ha ha etc for that one), entering the Archibald Prize and the Blake with my paintings... which I am definitely going to start doing - for non-Aussies they are pretty big honcho art awards, not always the best art but definitely the most fun, EVERYONE has an opinion on the Archibald even those who last studied an artists work when it was in crayons pegged on string at the back of a classroom or under a magnet on the fridge, hell I've bought a heap of el-cheapo canvases from the $2 shop (where there is NOTHING under $2 unless you count the stale out-of-date lollies at the exits), oh yeah, EXERCISE, the natural enemy of the geek & artist (well this one) but with the Wii my girls got for Christmas I feel I can combine the excercise factor with out selling out totally (and I don't need to wear lycra to do it)... thank goodness I hear you say...

Anyway, as I said... let's do it... or at least give it a burl ; )

Actually I may have ONE glass of wine, it's good for your heart, but mostly cranberry & soda, oh yeah, the 'tooth fairy' book... a true story!!!

Thanks Deborah, putting things in writing certainly make it more real than just keeping in my chaotic head : )
Stacy... why doesn't it surprise me we both picked the same LOL!!!
Tooth Fairy... true story... I've started it, with the way the book world is going I may have to self-publish, I'll send you a 'sneak preview' once I get going on it ; )
