When you were supposed to be practicing painting with your watercolors but ended up creating stand up swatch cards for your copious watercolor palettes, that's not procrastinating, is it?

And the party has started.

After seeing these fabulous ladies over zoom for too many weeks, it was incredibly lovely to see them for real tonight. Thanks for making it such an amazing evening ladies!!!

We've been lucky to be able to work safely from home during this pandemic. We decided to tackle a deck and fence project that we've talked about for many years. We did all the work ourselves - with some help from the kids. It's not completely finished yet but we're close. The rain has halted our staining efforts. It's where we'll be spending our pandemic summer. We've no furniture yet, but if we were lucky enough to win an kit from we'd skipping down to to resolve that issue.

Present on my desk when I arrived at work today. It feels strangely like I just won the lotto. Mandatory working from home for all non-essential staff now. But I've been doing that for almost 7 years so it's pretty much business as usual for me.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with all this prettiness for my mermaid costume. Show with coming up May 2. Better get my tail in gear.

A sneak preview of part of the outfit for one of my next routines. Loving the routine that our lovely teacher has choreographed for us salsa newbies.
