self portrait tuesday: a weekday in the life
Come along with me through my typical weekday routine:
1) 5:30 a.m. - waiting at the bus stop; 2) 6:00 a.m. - into the gym 3) my daily walk through the park on my way to work. At the present time, they are cutting down many of the trees to make the park more "friendly"....grrr. 4) a quick stop in the coffee shop for my large decaf. Their incredibly eclectic music collection can often set the tone for the day - today it was Alison Kraus and Gillian Welch singing "I'll Fly Away" from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack - nice! 5) at my desk, computer on....6) at my desk, looking out the window at the artist's studios across the street. Just like the movies! You may see photographers, painters, dancers, musicians, the occasional soft-core porn...repeat photos 5 and 6 for several hours (which becomes the imaginary step 7) - 8) let loose for an hour, I often run errands or sit someplace pleasant and read. Today was the perfect First Day of Spring - I found these early camellias in a sheltered spot. Back to work, repeat imaginary step 7 for another few hours. 9) Up a hill to the bus stop...10) off the bus, up another hill to my house 11) yay! home at last!
Very fun peek into you day! I love that song by the way.

I love "I'll fly away". Actually both those gals have a constant presence on my Ipod.

what a long day... everyday? are you serious?
where in there do you get time to make anything? amazing! it's funny you had this post. since starting my new job i'm making less and less...
i was just checking my bloglines, and wondering- how the heck anyone managed to get anything finished! or even started for that matter.
i'm sitting in front of a bear that only needs an ear, and to be jointed together and a face to be embroidered, and it's been there for 3 days! faceless and disjointed.
like how i feel!
