Medial Point

As seen on flickr for Self Portrait Thursday.

This material is really great for tunics. I think I'll go buy the rest of it and make a couple more.

I'm supposed to be on my way to Atlanta for business purposes but pushed the trip back to next week. As I mentioned before, my plan is to move there soon (just temporarily), and I'm working on creating relationships with various boutique owners. However--as is quite common with me--I've started second guessing the move. Why? I really can't say. I think, though, that it may have something to do with where I am now. Deep in the woods, no TV (well, there are actually 3 in the house, but none with a converter boxs or satellite..cable doesn't come this way), peace and quite, walks across the street to visit with my grandparents (who do have satellite in case I ever feel like I need TV. I never do.), and a whole house to do as I please with no expenses on my part. Oh, and ceiling fans! I love 'em but haven't lived in a place that had them for years. I think I'm beginning to get comfortable and it's affecting my original plan.

Other than the fact that my computer connection is pretty slow (which keeps me from visiting blogs as much as I used to :-/) there really isn't anything that I resent. I mean, it does take a while to get "to town" to buy groceries and such, mail packages, etc., but I can deal with that. Just have to alter the way I do it all. 1-2 trips a week. (My car hasn't moved since Monday.) Then there's the lack of a farmers market (and the stuff in the stores is more expensive up here), my favorite Greek/Lebanese restaurant, Albertson's grocery store, Joann fabric store (!!), access to good fabric in general, but I make do. This past Sunday I was back in Lafayette and stocked up on fabric, so I should be good for a while.

I must say...these are all things I became accustomed to when I left home and as an adult who sews and eats a certain way, 'cause I grew up between here and not too far from here and am not new to country life. I'm still country in most of my ways (y'all should hear me talk sometimes, ha!). As a children, though, we're much more simple. All I needed was the outdoors and adventure. The grown people and the nature that surrounded me took care of the food. But turns out that I've become one of those grown people -- :-/ .... :-( ..... :-D -- and living in the city (lol @ the idea of Lafayette as "the city". I guess it is, though.) has conditioned me in a certain way. Yet, I've always been able to adapt to my surroundings pretty well, so it's fine. I'm just rambling. It's great here.

So as I was saying, I've been having second thoughts, but a move to somewhere is inevitable. And it likely will be Decatur/Atlanta then who knows where to...

Now. For some music--which has been my primary company lately...

Any youtube clip I post at this point is not one that I can actually see myself without waiting an hour for it to load, but I trust that others can.


peace!
