Day 3: The Artist's Die - ette

Things are going well on nearly all fronts.  I have done an hour on the Gazelle each day...  and even jogged around the block last night just to test my stamina.  (Result:  None)  I've been eating well and have completely cut out soda.  (Sparkling water doesn't count, right?)

No caffeine either.  Oops!  Cutting caffeine out cold turkey is not going well.  That's the "nearly" part up there...   Headache, tired, cranky.  Yep, that's me.  I had to put down the Olive portrait today because I was getting verbally abusive toward the poor dog!  (Good thing she is safely hundreds of miles away!)

So, I came to Stella's to have a cup of green tea figuring a LITTLE caffeine can't hurt, right?  Ugh.  You'd think I was raised Catholic...  as the guilt sneaked up while I was ordering and forced me to get a steamer instead.

I'm soothed though.  And I'm ready to go back to the house and keep painting.  I'm also vowing to work out while I watch my reality TV indulgence tonight...  America's Next Top Model!  I'm telling you, though I doubt you'll believe me, the only reason I love that show is for the photography aspect!  I LOVE seeing the finished products after a shoot!  And I love the hair and make-up transformations, too.  The drama I can totally do without, I swear!

Although...  sometimes those catty, immature little girls manage to make me feel better about myself!  ;-)

I need to buy a different camera, by the way.  If anyone has a digital SLR that they are looking to sell, please let me know!  I can't afford a new one, obviously, so...   if you are ready for an upgrade and want your old baby to go to a new, loving home...  I'm your mama!
