life with numbers ... or 179 reasons i am tired!

catchy title, huh? 


1: i have been in the rental house of brown-ness for 179 days! .... exhausting .... 

2: over the weekend, i went to bed between 3 and 4 am two nights in a row .... foolish? perhaps ... but when you are with people you ADORE and haven't seen in 26 years, sleep seems like such a waste of good chat time .... yes, i know it is wednesday, but i still feel out of whack from the big weekend .... that might be age rearing its salt and pepper head ... 

3: 3 sets of tennis this morning in 179 degree heat .... so much for ladies just glowing and glistening ... that's just a lie .... 

4: bull nosed tiles, shower doors that open out or slide, clear showers or frosted, towel racks, frigerator handles, track lighting for a gallery wall, where does the disposal button go, did we remember to tell someone to paint the picket fence (don't want to be the cute house with the hideous old shabby fence), why is the fan in THAT room when i ordered it for this room .... and oh no, i like it in THAT room, what will i put in this room.... ad infinitum this one could go on .... in fact, i sent a list to my cute contractor and thought i'd frighten him ... mr.e.beck.artist even said, did you warn him before you sent your demands .... they weren't demands, just interesting observations! .... c.c. (cute contractor) handled it way better than mr.e..... anywho, 10 days til we move back in .... shabby fence or not ....

5: house renovations deserved another bullet point on the list of tired ..... can anyone enlighten me about low voltage track lighting ... or just pick some out for me? one's that don't cost 100s and 100s and 100s of dollars ....

6: there are two 8 year olds baking a cake in my kitchen RIGHT now ... no mom, we don't need your help .... oven is preheated to 350 .... no, we aren't making a mess .....
7: boy.beck.artist and girl.beck.artist are BOTH out of town ... without me .... i forbade them to grow up, and they have not heeded my demands .... 12 is older than i want them to be ...

8: i dream about my house ... the choices i need to make, the choices i have made, the choices i'd like to consider .... 
then, relating to dreams:
secondary bullet 1: can i somehow incorporate this into my home?
secondary bullet 2: if i can't do that, can i at least pimp out my nine year old mini van like this ?
secondary bullet 3: where in my home can i put these?

9: yesterday i spent a couple hours in my studio ... working on a 36 by 36 inch canvas .... so .. maybe that's the beginning of me starting to be me again .... 

any numbers in your life?

I've given up on numbers. That whole Jon & Kate + Ei8ht thing wore me out.
