From June 12, 2013

I know I have quite a bit of catching up to do -- I don't think I've yet posted the photos from the FIRST figure drawing class -- but I figured while I'm here, I might as well stick up the ones from yesterday.

My mark is getting freer, my line more unabashed.

It is delightful.

In Blended Pursuit

Today I did a very grown up thing.

Today I welcomed myself into the twentieth century.

(Yes, I said twentieth century.)

Really, I welcomed myself into the 1920s.

(Yes, I had to Google the year the blender was invented.  1922, if your curiosity is just burning...)

Today: I bought a blender.

The times I ever do anything "grown up" are typically when my desire to consume something delicious outweighs my ability to deflect the craving any longer.  This is the only method by which I learned to cook.  Shit dammit frick.  I want [insert amazing delectable dish], just like Mom makes... 

With The Method, I've become especially proficient at Breakfast: An Adventure in Baconology, and moderately proficient in Sides: Excerpts from Coleslaw, Deviled Eggs, & Salad Dressings. 

Anyway, back to the blender.  So I went for a four-mile run (jog) tonight and it felt amazing!  I'm gradually working up to where I was before the car accident.  I'm close, and I'm patient.  The process is fairly exhilarating.

When I got home I was completely spent and all I wanted in the world was a fruit smoothie.  Nowhere near my house is a place to get a smoothie (plus I already spent way too much money for twelve ounces of smoothie earlier in the afternoon and for whatever reason my mind would not allow a similar purchase twice in one day.

(I know, weirdo.)

I also think the process of making a smoothie also seemed rather desirable on this particular eve, so a purchase of said blender emerged as a logical pursuit.

I came.

I blended.

I conquered.

Hallo, Beauty.
