2:30am....

Soooo it's been a long time s4 I have been unable to sleep.   I am laying in bed with my phone and trying to type a post about whatever comes to mind.  My thoughts seem to be scattered everywhere. Could be why I can't sleep.  Anxiety has been with me for many years but has been much better than before.   Typing seems to help as it keeps my mind focused on something else......

I bought paint!!!! "Banana Split!

I drove to Lowes today to try and find a color to paint my office in. I knew I wanted yellow but I didn't want a yellow that turns green when it goes on the wall.
Help at Lowes is hard to find so I ended up taking the samples and driving to Home Depot. Along the way, I see a Volkswagon Beetle in the color I was looking for. Gosh I wish I could have taken that in as a sample lol.

But anyhow, I chose a color close to it. It's called, "Banana Split!" Pretty pastel yellow. Not bright enough to make you close your eyes but yellow enough to make you feel warm, as if sunshine is on your back :-)

Now I need to paint!!!!

A bit of the ocean today

Everywhere on social media, my friends are talking about how horrible the weather is. Living in Southern California all my life, we get to see some really cold days but nothing compared to back east!
That's probably why I live here. We have oceans, mountains, lakes, and deserts. We truly have it all.
Even though it's been cold here, I have been wanting to start on summer beads. Beads that are bright or reflect the beach somehow. I long to move to the beach but until then, my beads will have to do.
These beads aren't anything special but I love the colors. Beautiful blues, aqua, greens, and white make these beads perfect to add into a nice summer piece of jewelry.
Hope you like it too!
