      Yay!  It's Friday!  Although there might be something wrong if i'm spending all my weeks waiting for Friday.  But it just seems to be a struggle to get through the week.  i don't know if it's because i truly detest getting up so early in the morning, or just that i'm getting old and can't keep the pace anymore.  

      We've been pretty busy.  Back to oil painting class last night, where my colour deficiency reared it's ugly head.  i spent most of the session trying to mix something akin to skin tones and the shadows thereof, and just getting more and more frustrated.  Finally i grabbed a new palette, chose the colours i could actually "see" and mixed away.  Suddenly i was doing exactly what they were trying to teach me.  Both myself and the teacher had totally forgotten my little handicap, and the colours she said to use to mix the skin tone with, didn't make any sense to my eye.  When she saw me start with a different palette and the colours i HAD chosen, she pulled out another tube of paint labeled "Indian Red" and i fell in love with it!  

      i am determined that one day i'm going to be able to put on canvas what it is that i see in my head.  And in particular i want to be able to do nudes.  i want to be able to paint long, voluptuous bodies - bodies that are suggestive of sex - that make people think of sex, but are classy in their presentation.  i think it's interesting that my taste seems to lie mostly with the female form. But i really do think that a woman's body is a wonderful thing.  

      Okay so a great male butt is a wonderful thing too - but that would mean convincing Himself to pose naked for me and i don't think He'll buy into that idea since He's had TEN layers of clothes on since the first hint of temperatures below 68F.  The only time He's naked now is the shower and in bed - and the bed has a gazillion layers of blankets and flannel sheets.  

      Which leads me to believe that it might not be hot flashes that i'm having in the  middle of the night but more like suffocation flashes.  How does He stand all the extra weight when i turf off those layers of blankets?

      Not much of the outward D/s thing this week (not counting the two handed serving and such, of course.)  It depresses me when we get so busy that things fall to the wayside.  Even during our dinner with guests this week, He forgot the daycuffs.  He usually tells me to get them, when it's scene friendly people that are here - as it's a part of our life that is quite normal to us, and scene friendly people can appreciate us continuing on with that.  But this time it got overlooked.  And i didn't want to appear like i was pushy.  Bummer.  

      Ah well - it IS the weekend - and weekends are always about possibilities.  i guess i have a yen ... just like today's word of the day.  Heh.

      Gone to terrorize Himself.
