What I've been up to...these past --- months. -_-"

Hello :) Hope 2011's been going awesome for you so far.
I've been gone for a long darn time...but I haven't been a complete bum about it. I've broadened my spiritual horizons or whatever and I've been focusing on painting for a while.

This is my latest work in progress. Almost finished, part of a three part mini series. Friends of mine might be tired of my subject matter but it is what it is and I know what it means. To be totally honest I can't say what I mean any other way because "In my world, everyone eats rainbows and poops butterflies." Hahaha! ...or a sentiment close to that.
So, here is "Mushrooms in Escallions":












I also had my work up for sale at the Grovsner Christmas Fair this past Christmas season with my momsie pie and sisters, and sold the two tree women that were in the background in a previous blog post as a result. I also sold two other small paintings, met some cool people and recharged my artist soul.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Those were my first sales ever in life!!! *happy dance* They like me, they really like me! (and all that stuff, haha!)
Anyways...
Here are some pics form the fair:



Now it's just do as much work as I can. Good thing my intentions and my mind are on the same page. Artist's block is about as pleasant and easy to ignore as an ingrown toenail.
I'm very interested in life right now. I hope you are too.
-love,
Nicki.

Procras.....I'll get to it in a sec... soon... tomorrow ...

Procrastination is as dangerous to your life as doing hard drugs. I stand by that statement....soon.... gimmie a sec...



But seriously. I do stand by that. It is a habit that is VERY DIFFICULT to break, and like all bad habits it usually starts off small.

People tend to procrastinate when they have something really important to do that they are afraid to do, or when there's something bothering them in the back of their mind. Sometimes you don't even know what the thing is that's the REAL issue.


I have just had a jumbo sized not so great event in my life and , hells to the yeah, i have gotten very little done in the past few days. This made me realize how, at least in my case, procrastination is a way to stay somewhat inside my comfort zone. It seems to be a defense mechanism to protect my heart and soul from any more harmful junk or disappointment. Sometimes (well MOSTLY ALWAYS), however, that's not what you need if you want to grow as a human being --- and that's what I want to do. So today I pushed myself a little. Otherwise it'd really easy to do nothing with my life for the rest of my life. That's not a good look.



So today:

I did a little cleaning and organizing. Things were getting a little out of hand. I'm for sure not about to show before pics. lol.
Then I did a light sweep of my room to get rid of the dust bunnies that mirrored the state of my procrastination ravaged mind. (I'm getting into this hahaha!!!)

I also watched the travesty called The Last Airbender today... oh boy. -_- "" Glad I watched it tho.

Then I went to the kitchen and made awesome spicy lentil curry, and my yogurt is a-settin' as I type this bloggy.... which also has taken me a ridiculous amount of time to type hahaha! That's more than i thought I'd get done today, and I'm glad I did it. :D

My name is Nicki, and I'm a procrastinator.

Love, Nicki.

p.s. -You would freaking love my lentils as much as i love Sons of Anarchy. ;) yummy yummy yummy....
