Taking a Break

This entry is my official break from Italian! I have finished the Fabio and Jessica raccontino which Nichole kindly let me do over and when I get back to work, I will be doing the "La bella figure" raccontino which is due tomorrow. This one is to be written from a series of eight small drawings which show a man and a woman finding money in the street. They go to a clothing store and buy clothes so, I assume they will be  "la bella figura" which means looking good. But alas, the total comes to over $200 and they only have $100. The final drawing shows them back on the street looking for more money! Personally, I would give all the money to the woman and let her buy! There are eight pictures and we have to write at least one sentence per picture.Every month I get a newsletter from the art supply store I buy from and this month they have two paid classes that sound very interesting. On November 5th {Guy Fawkes Day!} there a class in making outdoor sculpture with something called Paverpol. There is a website at http://www.paverpolusa.com. On November 12th there is a class in collage techniques which I am also going to attend. The web site is http://www.goldenpaints.com. Each class goes from 11 am to 5 pm with a break for lunch. So, I called and registered for both of them and this afternoon I am going down there to pay. I like to pay early to be sure I have a place since the class is limited numbers — only 10 I believe. While I am out, I need to stop somewhere that I can get a box of refill staples. My stapler surfaced pretty early in the unpacking but when it ran out of staples, I cannot find the refill box! It will eventually resurface and then I will have two boxes which isn’t a bad fault!

I really DO like this little box that appears when one navigates away from an unfinished entry. I did this accidentally a few seconds ago and much to my relief when I navigated backwards, this deathless prose was still here!

Until later….
