spt - the 25th hour

Ah, an extra hour each day just for me. A dream...more time.

My first instinct was sleep. I know it seems like such a waste of time, but for me, someone who walks around each and every day in a state of exhaustion an extra hour of sleep would be delightful.

Of course then I think about exercise. I use to love exercising and made a point to do it once a day without exception, sadly I don't feel that way anymore. I just can't seem to fit it in so to have an extra hour a day to use toward exercising is a great way to spend that time because even though I really don't want to I know I need it for more energy.

Of course if I used the extra hour to do what I really wanted to do I would spend most of it in my studio creating.



Yesterday while going through some papers in my studio I found this sketch

and decided what the heck, while the laundries mid cycle I'm going to work on my art journal since I didn't last week. It was one of those weird mornings where I came off of no sleep and just wanted to indulge myself to get me moving. Really all I wanted to do was sleep so I felt good about this alternative.

I had seen these cartoon characters online a while ago and my plan was to attempt a self portrait, attempt being the operative word. The jury is still out on this one. The more I look at it the more I don't like it, but it was a fun experiment for me. While paining it Megan said, "mommy is that you?" "Well it's suppose to be" was my reply, only to hear her say, "I knew it was cause your chocolaty eyes, like mine."

But let's face it, an hour really isn't that long and if I were better about organizing my time I know I could find an extra hour in my day to do something more meaningful. So that's a new goal of mine (thanks lelly)...find an extra hour of me time each day.
