Friday Stuff
A really weird thing happened this morning. At about 10 minutes to nine, the phone rang and Melanie asked if it would be OK to bring someone upstairs at nine to see our apartment! Now, Mike had already told me that the house is in the process of being sold to a different person so I asked if the negotiations had fallen through! Melanie said not but that this woman had insisted on seeing the place in case the negotiations that were going on going on fell though! I told her that Fred was still in bed and I was not going to wake him up but if they wanted to see the rest of the apartment, it was fine with me. When they came up, I realized I knew this woman. She used to come to the library when I worked there and run all over us there, too. I remember one evening when we were supposed to close at 6 we were still there at 6:30 waiting for her and her undisciplined son to bring their books up from the children’s area. Anyway, I did NOT wake Fred up and they didn’t get to see the bedroom.
I did some art this morning. it was totally out of my imagination and was some large simple vase shapes. The focus was on varigated color but now I see there are lovely colors, yes, but no lights and darks. I sprayed it and I will put down a few more layers tomorrow. I want to keep the lovely jewel-like colors which I am pleased with and also show some strong tonal values.
The other thing I did was the clean out the area beside my bed. I dragged out a huge pile of old magazines which are in a box to go out to be recycled. I started a smaller box of books for Freecycle but that will wait for a while because I just gave away 20 or so books there. I dragged out all of my shoes and sandals from under the bed and put them away. I then vacuumed tha little area by my bed and put stuff back neatly. The stuff on the bedside table is still piled up but it is piled up a little more neatly! I am still not sure what I have there so maybe I will do some more sorting out later…
Fred just suggested we go out to eat this evening!

Pushy people can be rather bothersome, can’t they?

You are a much more patient individual than I. I would never let anyone in on 10 min. notice!

I haven’t read your entry yet, but I will in just a minute, but did you know there’s a Leonard Cohen documentary, called I’m Your Man, released today in New York? They say “limited release.” I suppose we’ll get it on video soon. But I want it now.

I’m sure that if you knew who it was beforehand, you’d have told her to take her business elsewhere! LOL! What a pushy woman.

Oh yuck – I hope that bold lady doesn’t buy the place.

Yay for going out to eat! No cooking, no cleaning up dirty dishes! And I wouldn’t have woken up Fred either. I hope she doesn’t get the house since you’ve had bad history in the past with her.
