My first mandala and a funny story


Firiel

I've done a few pages in my garden coloring book, but I decided to try out  my mandala coloring book last night.  The picture quality isn't great.  I was happy with how it turned out, except I wish the blues I used had a little more contrast.  In the small space, they ended up looking more similar than I had hoped.

Now for the funny story.  I'm working from home today because some asshat stole my car.  So I've been calling into meetings, putting the phone on speaker and mute, and coloring during them.  I'm very excited about the mandala I'm working on right now.  Much of the background is connected, so it's a lot of real estate that's the same color.  I'm coloring it black with the intention of adding a bunch of bright colors in the forefront.  So I looked at what I had so far and was pretty impressed with myself.  So I said, "That's looking really good."  And the currently speaking in the meeting was like, "What?"  I tried to say, "Oh, nothing!" but he persisted.  So I finally said, "I forgot to put my phone on mute, and I was just talking to myself."

EMBARRASSING.

That's hilarious! Made me laugh!

And the mandala is gorgeous!  I'm often disappointed when colours appear more similar than expected/desired, but I can see the contrast in this. It's really vey pretty!!

Very pretty.  I think the blues work fine the way they are.

Marty Noble is another one of my favorite book authors.    Your story is hilarious.  I'm sorry about your car!

      This seems to be their bottom line. And apparently enough people are seeing that that no one's willing to waste anymore money on them! Sadly I doubt anything will make them stop and think - unless it's someone in their anti-work community who they trust (which I highly doubt they have). If someone they know personally finally opened their eyes to how ridiculous the anti-work movement is, I could maybe see one of them accepting how untenable that belief system is and making changes from there. So realistically? They'll live their lives as (attempted) master grifters.

      2 bathrooms works for us as a family of 4. But if we had more kids, I would probably want another toilet somewhere.

      I am pretty sure that that is the exact same fridge, or a very similar fridge, to the one my sibling and their spouse put in when they built their new house three years ago. It's fine except that the water that comes out isn't as cold as I prefer my water to be. 

      I don't Love or hate open plan homes. They are very convenient for someone like my mother, who can't hear you calling from another room but who can tell that you're talking from across the room and use her lipreading/face reading skills to fill in what she doesn't hear. (she has a hearing loss.) My sibling has one and it's convenient when they are cooking because they can keep an eye on the kids. But they also have a playroom that is not part of the open plan, which I think is essential so that you are not continually stepping on Legos.

      And I tend to think that people with three or more bathrooms are not cleaning their own bathrooms. Myself absolutely love having my own bathroom but then again I live alone. I think that having IBS and sharing a bathroom would be very difficult to do.

      I was born with dark hair. Fell out, came back white blonde. Have been going darker ever since. It’s ash blonde (street dog blonde….) now. Which- as the internet tells me, is no considered „old money blonde“ (🤪🙄). Maybe that’s how we see it when I have finally grown out the dark brown I had dyed it…..

      They could have moved closer to Ryann’s family last summer instead of moving to Seattle…that would have saved them their donors several thousands…but it’s not money they had to earn so they don’t care. Every decision they make is very reactive as opposed to proactive. They rarely think of the consequences.
