So, I didn't really believe my gold membership had run out cause all my pictures are still visible, and every other time I've let my membership laps they go up in smoke. But I just got that annoying "you can't update now cause your not a gold member" message and was suddenly reminded that my membership has indeed expired. I'll have to deal with that soon.

I've been fretting and fretting that I won't have the minimum 8 paintings to make a passing grade in my painting class, but I propped all the ones I have finished, or nearly finished up on my couch tonight and holy smokes it added up to eight. So, in the next two weeks I just need to do a rather large scale piece and I should come out rather well in the grades department. I'd like to keep my 4.0, thankyaverymuch.

I was so in lust in class last night. Let me preface this by saying nude models are usually just that to me, models for me to practice drawing, painting, what have you. Last night though I have to say he was a very erotic looking fellow even given the fact that he kept nearly nodding off. Patrick, my instructor, said I'd finally broken out of my comfort zone with this piece and had really produced a great piece. I felt like it too. I was really pleased with what appeared in front of me. I like the figure. It's a challenge and a pleasing subject.

Well, the teahouse just got busy and the dogs are in the car. We just went on a walk and I decided to bring them with, afterwords.

Buff. I can't wait to live so near to you. And I'm so glad you still read me.

Hugs.
