So this past week I have not been working. Well, I should re-phrase that. I wasn't working at the school, but I working on cleaning the house, doing tons of laundry and PAINTING! I finished a painting that I am donating to my schools silent auction fundraiser. I going to have a few other pieces finished by tomorrow and I have begun to scan in some of my daily paintings. It's a very exciting time to be me!
This is also the weekend of Austin's biggest music festival - SXSW (South by South West or as the locals have said "South by"). I have been more interested in painting than music, but tonight and tomorrow JP and I are going to hit up some of the free shows. I figure next year we'll get more involved. I was just too exhausted from school to really get excited about it this year.

New news!
I know, I know. Epic fail, again. Something major happens and I have failed to mention it here, until now.
We bought a car! It's a new-to-us car, but we're happy. It is really lovely being able to run out grab some groceries or to do whatever without having to think about bus times or trying to get a ride.
Side note: I am still painting like crazy and working at the Montessori school - I have the week of SXSW off, so I will be doing some fun musical exploring that week and hope to paint some of my adventures.
That's all for now folks!

Sorry for the neglact...
It has been called to my attention that this blog has been neglected. I will try to remedy this with more frequent updates.
All is well on the southern front. We're cold, but not as cold as the rest of you. :) The weather is very hot/cold and annoying though. It's not like in the north in the winter when you go outside and realize that you don't need a hat or that you forgot your long johns and might die, but switching between t-shirts and winter coats is challenge.
Jobs are going well. Painting is going really well. Life is pretty good. I'll be more detailed in the future, I promise. :)
It seems that we'll be the semi-proud owners of an automobile in the near future. Austin is not as bike friendly as people like to pretend AND Texans really like their cars and feels no need build things near each other or to even include sidewalks on the side of some roads, so a car is sadly needed. Oh well. I feel like I'm selling out, but we really do need one.
That's all for now folks!
Take care!
