Putting the Manic Back in Manicurist

The coffee crowd..

Filed under: Uncategorized — manicmanicurist @ 7:17 am

So this morning as I sit in the coffee shop preparing to write this post I look around at my fellow coffee drinkers.

Guy with a suitcase: and a fancy ass laptop..I would imagine he is a writer for something like National Geographic. Just stopping on his way to  Africa. or Duluth. or not.

Lady with Granola: She sits and reads the newspaper drinking her purchased drink..but yet? eats what appears to be homemade granola out of a tupperware bowl. WITH her fingers. and no milk.

Middle age student lady: hair piled up, obviously studying for some big ass test, has not slept in days, goes back for another refill.

Oh there are a couple more, but they seem unremarkable..so I will leave it at that.

Being new to the city and all the traffic “issues”… I have found one thing that really pisses me off. Bicycles. No..not the bikes themselves..but the people who ride them. Now I am all about being green, saving money on gas and riding that trusty bike wherever your little heart desires to go. BUT. and that’s a big but, dammit, IF you are going to act like a car…want the rights of a car…then f-ing obey the traffic rules like a car. Stop weaving in and out of traffic, running red lights cuz no one is coming, and all the other damn things you seem to be doing to piss me off. and wear a damn helmet..I am not interested in seeing your brains splattered all over my windshield when you run out in front of me and I hit your stupid ass.  Phew. Ok got that out.

I have all the art done and mostly all framed. working on tagging each piece. Need to pick up the snacks and stuff  and then head to the gallery in the morning to set up. My kids are coming (big grin) and I cannot wait to see them!

I am just a tad excited..can you tell???

Wednesday morning…

Filed under: Uncategorized — manicmanicurist @ 7:27 am

Catching an internet connection when/where I can. I am here at the coffee shop again before work.

Nothing much is new here…I am working hard on getting all my things framed for the art opening on Friday. And trying to figure out a way to get my kids here for it. The ex will not help with transportation or funds for transportation. Asswipe all the way around. Daniel is planning on driving up, and bringing his sister and her friend,  but is nervous about driving in the city so I guess I will drive to the outskirts and pick them up. He does not want to spend the night as he is “busy, Mom”….heh..but Hannah and her girlfriend will be here for the weekend! Yay! I have to work part of the time they will be here, but I am sure they will be fine hanging out or exploring my neighborhood.

So I am so excited about having my kids come to the gallery! plus I have invited people from work, friends and Greg’s family..so I am sure hoping that people come. I am pretty proud of the work I have to show, and think that it is a good representation of me.

Well I need to get my butt to work..don’t wanna be late!
