Reinvention
Hey Yall! Remember me? I told ya I was gonna be in the kitchen cookin'. Notice anything different? Maybe just a little?
I remember someone telling a couple of years ago as they observed me cooking, that when I cooked (to paraphrase) I was focused, took my time, not as impatient as I normally am, purposefull, when I was cooking. Granted I was cooking my all time favorite "from scratch" enchalada caserole...Caserole I don't like the word caserole. Anyway, I've often thought of that comment. I wanted to address the idea or thought this year. So far I'd say Im doing pretty good.
So as I said I've been cooking. Purposefully. Initially I started (and continue) working on my grrrls redesign for her site. Out of my frustration with the challenge it presents itself to be, I needed a break. I needed some free. I was due to redefine me...the online representation of me as lease. So I put the site I was working on down, told Ma Dukes I wasnt doing any layout for a week, layed up in bed for a day vegitating and unwinding, then set a time line more like a dead line to revamp my site. Get the juices flowing again cause all the web/graphic design took a turn down grunt work lane for a hot minute.
As a result
VOILA
click it!
I made my deadline, refreshed the creative juices somewhat and learned a thing or two in the process. My cats have been feeling a lil neglected since my head has been burried in the puter screen, all day and night. My daughter fortunately enough has been caught in her day to day and I've managed to come up for air to do my mommy thang. Haven't returned my phone calls like I should...but yall should know how I feel bout the phone by now so that wasn't a major stress. The kittens (Xangshua, Renegade, Bijou, Delerious & Samson) continue to lay on the computer or walk across my keyboard for attention. Gonna have to do something about that. So, I'm gonna continue to lay low. Actually, I think ma puter needs a few days off. So no, I haven't fallen off the face of the cyber world. I'm here, cooking. Definately need to go check up on all my favorite blogs I haven't read in way too long, see what folks are up too. And for a change I won't be frustrated with living in bubblefugg. For one, I gots more than enough time, space and isolation to get some things stewing. And for 2 WE'RE RUNNING OUTTA OIL. OH yeah I'll be back in the next day or 2 to blog more like go into a political rant about the OIL CRISIS we are about to really be chewing on...but right now I'm sleepy.
Note the time.
keepshinin.
