The Work Things

Been super crazy busy with work and boyfriend and life lately. Sunday I was in around noonish till closing time; Monday I suffered through a twelve hour day, six thirty until six forty-five (super fun); and yesterday I opened yet again. Taking my wednesday off I did absolutely nothing. Most interesting thing that happened today was my cat coming home from the vet and watching her try to jump up on things with one leg in a full cast (forest green is so not her color). So Now I ready myself for bed and the potential eight hour day I face tomorrow starting at six. Unless it rains too much, then I don't have to do shit :) Happy day.

Friday I have plans for an oceanside picnic with the Boyfriend. We will be navigating the treacherous highway to York Maine in the Morning with the intention of sunbathing and swimming in that hopefully sunny and warm beach.

The Dead Things and Sim Things

I think we should designate a "Dead Things" shovel. I say this because my cat is quite an adept hunter, even though she doesn't have claws. I don't really want to step outside, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face, and feel squishy mouse guts and maggots between my toes! To correct that horrible situation I found a plastic shovel and flung the dead little critters into the ditch. I know that this will happen very frequently over the summer so perhaps we should have a "Dead Things" Shovel on hand at all times.

On another note, the Sims 3 Ambitions was officially released yesterday and I am practically gushing in anticipation. I was finally starting to get bored with World Adventures so this couldn't have come at a better time. I wonder if they do that on purpose...

The Camera

I have decided to actually go outside this summer and do a few outdoorsy activities. Maybe some hiking, camping, picnicking, and definitely swimming at the ocean. It has occurred to me that there may potentially be some stunning photo opportunities, and some not-so-stunning ones. So now I need a new camera. The last camera I had was over three years old before it started to crap-out so I'm thinking another Nikon Coolpix (In Plum). I would love to have a camera to take pictures with again. Oh how I miss photography...

It will also help me out whenever I need to take my own reference pictures (No more borrowing from friends) which is much of the time. So I have something new to add to my wishlists!!

I Heart Cameras

This Experiment

First post of this experiment and I don't know what to write about. But I'm sure that writers block won't last too long. I will say that the majority of my posts will be about artsy things (hence the title "Palates and Paintbrushes") as I am an artist currently struggling through college.

So this blog was mainly created for something constructive to do and potentially to get my art into the public eye. So hope you enjoy! (thank you Sonya for the Inspiration)
