What Did You Do Today??

So how was last night?? Did ya go out, stay in, make it till midnight? We stayed in and I did make it to midnight but LW did only in his dreams :) I do have to say some of our neighbors must have had some really good times last night and I bet they woke up about noon not feeling all that great. There were two competing street parties right across the street from each other, and darn if they both weren't determined to drown out the other's music :( It was nice of them to finally turn the decimals down a bit at 3am.

Today it was more then time for me to find the bottom of my desk :) SO us kids spent the afternoon cleaning up our play areas. LW is on one side of the sun room and I'm on the other Gee he is always so nice and tidy and I'mmmm shall we say... I really get into my work :)

Bet you can't guess who's side this is?? :)

I guess you can tell I'm not the electrical engineer (yes LW that's retired double E) in the family ;) I just can't help myself I really do need plenty of visual noise in order to focus and create. If it's to white and everything is hidden away I catch my mind wandering wanting to add some beautiful visual noise instead of focusing on the project at hand :)

Have an audacious day or evening my Bloglandian friends depending on what part of the world you are in ;)

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
