Hectic! ...and A Thousand Apologies...

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 4, 2008, 10:20 AM
It's been a while since I've posted. I apologize if I haven't the chance to fave or comment on your deviations, nor reply to your comments promptly. A thousand apologies....

To all who have kindly added me as a friend, featured or faved my work, or even looked at my stuff here, I am grateful.

Just for your info...

The last two weeks or so I've been...
-taking swimming lessons,
-swim training on my own,
-triathlon talks/ gear talks/ meets
-volunteered at my kids' schools,
-did a birthday bash for my kid one weekend (18 kids, mind you!)
-and also on the same day finished, framed and gave a gift drawing for a friend's birthday--
-not to mention, I'm attending another drawing class,
-add life figure drawing sessions to that,
-studying and reading books on anatomy (never ending!)
-people coming over to look at replacing a few doors at my house...
- hosting a small, casual American Idol party--- Phew!

Of course, cooking, laundry, cleaning, chauffer-ing my kids around

It's been hectic...

I'm not sure if things will slow down a little in March, but I promise I will post that particular drawing that I just gave away to a teary-eyed friend at her birthday bash. Her reaction made ME cry! :tears:

I'm welcoming the spring with lots of energy, zest and motivation! Also...my birthday's coming up... :D Wish that birthdays crop up more than wrinkles do though... ;)

I hope you all are having a wonderful March 2008!!!

Ok- gotta run-- my Anatomy of Movement class is in a few hours!

Lots of hugs,
Dina.

And now...one more? An act of courage I'd say, dT.
*GeraldWinslow:iconGeraldWinslow: Apr 28, 2008, 6:58:58 AM
Happy Birthday, dT! We're two now in dA years, and goodness only knows how old in cat years. It's been fun! All the best to you and yours. :wave:

Hey dT! Did you really let those hummingbirds come into you :+fav:s?! You know, of course, that they are feisty, pugnacious little critters. And, in any event, thanks, Dina! :nod: (Guess whose dA birthday is a week from today!)
