Creative Frustration

I wish there were some way for me to get paid to stay at home and just "create". I hate being stuck at a desk all day. I'll suddenly get inspiration to paint or draw or write, aaand I can't. By the time I get home I have so much else to do I hardly get time to do any of that and then I'm exhausted and I have to go to sleep only to get up and repeat the process again. I am definitely not the 9-5 office type. It's only been about 2 months and it is already depressing me. I don't know how people do it for 20 + years. I have to be able to do something I'm passionate about. I have to let my creative juices flow. I need to be using my hands or my feet (dancing) or performing or creating something! whether it's a tangible object or music or movement or whatever. I hate that I have a list of things I want to do or make or learn to do that is continuously growing and I never get the time to do any of it. Well this post was depressing :-\

On a lighter note, I went by Michael's last night and bought a few things. I found two Ella Fitzgerald albums in GREAT condition at an antique market in Cologne, Germany last month so I got 2 album frames for them. I also bought some bright summer colored T's to add my own personal touches to. I also got a wooden framed corkboard and some chalkboard paint. I have plans to make a nifty, unique message board for our apartment next year. I'll take pictures and post them later as that project comes along. I ordered the teal beads for my lamp project, and FINALLY found a glass cylinder and base. Nick said he would get the bulb and the wiring for me. I'm going to visit him in Raleigh in about a week or so and we'll be hitting up the Flea Market and finally putting together that light. I hope it doesn't blow up hehe.

Sigh....Wednesday really IS hump day. It is soooo long! When is the weekend going to get here?!

Hey you, quit sounding so bummed. We're going to get so much knocked out when you come visit. Not to mention when you get back to Greenville. Hey, we still need to finish that clock we started. Or maybe just get lazy and find a clock the same size and replace the face with the one you made.
