Saturday -- Looking Back
Mar. 6th, 2005 07:44 amI didn't do any work on my paper yesterday, but I did get some good work done on my house. More housework to do today, and I woke up knowing how I wanted to approach the next part of my paper, so I'm primed again for digging in.
I went to see Million Dollar Baby last night. Eastwood, Freeman and Swank were all fabulous, as one might expect -- but there's good reason it's not being touted as the "feel good movie of the year." It's well worth seeing, but I could have used something a bit more upbeat last night.
On Friday morning I sent a Paypal payment for Invitation Under the Moon, and it arrived Saturday afternoon. I was so impressed! The giclee itself is beautiful, a quality piece of work: on heavy board, with nice texturing, bright colors. . . . Gorgeous! Now all I have to do is wait for my tax refund to be deposited so I can get it framed. Meanwhile, it's wrapped up again in its brown paper betwteen several stiff boards.
Ever since I moved into this house, the "picture" over my fireplace has been a large framed collage I made back when I was pregnant with my daughter that expressed my vision of what I wanted to become. I may replace it with Invitation. . . And I'm finally feeling that I am starting to truly become the woman projected in the collage. . .
