10 weird things that happened this week. - A painting a day















Ok, Ok, Ok, I know this isn't a painting but it is my post for "a painting for today".

Of course, its actually a drawing, I drew it while out in my back yard. I found this bird's nest on the ground which had apparently blown down from the large trees and was just laying there. I thought it was beautiful with the leaf tucked in under the egg.

Probably the possum that lives behind my house will have the egg for dinner later tonight.

On with the list:

TEN WEIRD THINGS This is JUST this Week

1. Woke up and found a HUGHE dog bone laying on the pillow next to my face.

2. Lost my cell phone, called my-self only to hear it ringing in the trash can.

3. Went to the drive thru at Mc donalds, got my order and found a note inside the bag from one of the employees saying they thought it was neat that I bought cheese burgers for my 3 dogs whenever I came in.

4. Sat in traffic and had misgivings about waving away some homeless guy only to see both motorists on either side of me give him bills.

5. Literally ran like hell and hid in the woods from the park rangers, cause I was off of the trails and had my dogs off leash.

6. Found a tick in my underwear. Luckily no bite found.

7. Looked for ten minutes for my favorite painting brush, found it when I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, it was tucked in behind my ear.

8. Wanted some croutons for my salad, climbed up on the counter, ( yeah, I am short) to get some from the top shelf and screamed like a banshee when a mouse came out of the box. The mouse bounced off my chest and fly across the kitchen and under the sink.

9. Rented season 2 of "Rescue Me" from the video store got home and the DVD was "Ferris Bueller's day off".

10. Walked out to talk to the Mail girl and wondered why she kept looking at my feet. I was wearing a lavender flip flop on my right foot and a pink flip flop on my left. I'm pretty sure I didn't noticed it for hours.

There was a tie for tenth place with this one... You can decide which one was worse.

I've been sharing a bathroom ever since the flood, (see post Aug 31) and couldn't figure out why my hair looked like crap all week. Found out I have been using men's body wash with deodorant rather then shampoo .

Its a good thing that I was sick this week cause I was in bed the first two days, that means most of this stuff happened the other three days. Next week is bound to get better, I could blame it on the medication they do make me dingy.

Using men's body wash instead of shampoo is pretty hair-raising and wins the vote. But wearing odd flip flops is excusable. I sometimes deliberately put a T-shirt or garment on 'inside out' when I'm painting, so I dont spoil the proper side; then I forget and go out to town or something, feel pretty dumb when I realise whilst I'm in a bank queue etc.
