Chillin’

Chillin’, originally uploaded by diahn.
I’m taking a vacation from vacations. Yes, Linda – all 42 of them have officially worn me out. This week – nada. Actually, the next couple of weeks will be pretty restful for me. Next week, the boys go to day camp for 4 days (12 hours a day), so I’ll [...]

Fun in the Sun

Posted in Uncategorized on June 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The boys and I spent the weekend with my folks down in Alabama – my mom is remodeling her kitchen and she wanted some more input on colors and things, so I told her I’d trade her some color consulting for a day or two on the boat.

The Evolution of a Camping Family

I just have to laugh at us.  If you’ve read here before, you might remember that Dr. SmartyPants and I don’t do anything slowly or halfway.  We met, married, got pregnant, moved to a new city, started a job and had the baby all before our first anniversary.  We have a tendency to move every [...]

Cades Cove, Continued

Look at me, being all alliterative.  Two in a row, no less.  If you aren’t an English language geek, please disregard.

Posted in Uncategorized on June 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Summer stirs up in me the deep-seated need to lie around basking in sunbeams and snoozing with gigantic tomes of mostly forgotten literature on my lap.  It does not stir in me the need to produce art on any scale, because that involves thought and planning and attention to detail…exactly the opposite of what summer [...]

And So It Goes…

Is it just me, or does everyone have this problem?  I state that I’m going to do something…emphatically, no less, with a great flourish and a little cliff-hanger and…well…SPLAT.  Nothing.  I have started something new.  I have failed to achieve what I wanted, but I’m determined to work it until what I have in my [...]

Hiding

Posted in Uncategorized on June 1, 2008 | 5 Comments »

I’ll admit it.  I’ve been hiding.  End of school – beginning of the camping season – lack of motivation – whatever… dust is piling up on my art supplies and desks, sketchbooks are laying forlornly around the house.  But… I feel a breeze blowing – I’ve got an idea in this head of mine that [...]
