drawing a day ~ week34 Originally uploaded by dressform.

i'm in some time warp... it still feels like monday - i'm an hour ahead of what time it really is and i don't even want to think about what i still have to get done tonight. i'm feeling a bit like a broken record over here.... blah blah blah blah. someone should bust out their baby violin for me! but here are the drawings! week 34 of them...

the trip to the desert was short but also quite sweet. the land of enchantment. i'm not sure what that means exactly, but i can't help but think that enchantment and entrapment can get close in my mind. there are so many amazing things there [including the desert people who i got to see for lunch. too too too short of a visit, but i'll take a short visit over a no visit]. there is also a lost sense of time - a lack of urgency which can be wonderful, but also boggles my multi-tasking brain. i simply can't drive 40 on the freeway. can't.

maybe it's the altitude, maybe it's the expanse of sky, maybe it's the lack of water [i feel disoriented not knowing where the ocean is]... the ruddy brown red landscape on which you really expect to see a native american trotting across the plains on a horse.... or maybe it's the rock hard snot that accumulates in your nose.... the desert isn't kansas and it's definitely not california. i do love being out of your element - where things are new and different and slightly hazy from being unfamiliar. where the sky is SO BLUE [don't we all live under the same sky? apparently not] and the clouds just that much closer.... not to mention that hubby's mom has created a house that belongs in a magazine. a high end deocrating magazine - for real. a feast for the eyes. i took a gazillion pics. i'll share those over the week....

and more on the way... i have some big things to announce....

but i want to leave you with another holy canoli quote... one that is just dear to my heart/mind:

Until I figured out that the flight between questions is itself a workable system, I craved answers, rules, a code

i think i am all about the question. the questions are sometimes better than the answers. and my brain chugs with question after question. i love that someone acknowledges that it is a workable system. i am not alone... which leads me to one last thought. i have been thinking a bunch about this whole blog thing. over the weekend someone said "when do i get to tell my stories"? and that's what this is really - isn't it? storytelling. and that is part of the human condition. we are wired to tell, to listen, to relate to one another... to make a mark [cave painting anyone? the original blog!].... happy mid week!
