The 13th Apostol

Still

I've forgotten how to do, that which sustains me. Having been drained of every once of passion I had two months ago.
Writing is my life blood, my holiness, my reason.

One more day of "Final Day Sales" and then I'm free.
What is left of me, that hasn't been taken already.

I'm sad, empty, drained of all joy...at this very moment.
Too tired to share my son's Christmas, he shares it with no one.
Waiting for Mama to say "Now".

Let myself get sick, taking care of everyone BUT me.
Sleep. I could sleep for a week.
Oh please let the bonus come soon, it's hard to be hungry on top of exhausted.
I am full of self-pity.

Is anyone still there?

Being Frida Kahlo...Rolling Home

I'm rolling into the finish line.
Still all but exhausted, working for unseen bonuses and insulting insurance agencies.

Living in this home seems surreal, and I've still not been here long enough to enjoy or get a thing done. Saturday, my last day of work...then freedom to catch up on life.

Living here, with the floors by Impressive Restorations Ware Family, is life being Frida Kahlo, or Diego Rivera...that's all I know how to say, at 4:30 a.m. two days after Christmas surrounded by living art.

Word.

Partial Unveiling of Impressive Restorations' "Kleedinsky House"

We have thus far survived the worst ice storm in Oklahoma's history, finally back on line, and moved half-way into Impressive Restorations' "Kleedinsky House".

This post is just to let folks know we are OK, and post some photo's (that don't come close to doing justice) you've all been waiting for! I'll be running the before and after images on Flickr soon, until then enjoy!

House to Home

I can't describe the way my HOME looks.
It went from being a HOUSE to a HOME when this family touched my life.
It's aesthetically pleasing, that's a given, but something magical is happening to the sad little house on Miller Ave. Something I never expected, never hoped for, not in my wildest imagination...

Like A Kid At Christmas...and or Hannukah, Kwanza, Etc.

At 8 a.m. I am meeting my design team from Impressive Restorations at the house to reveal my floors. They had a week long contract job that took them away temporarily, and they finished yesterday.
I think I will throw up I'm so excited.
Just thought I'd share this with everyone...pictures are soon to follow of La' fin producto (??)

I'm like a little damn kid y'all...an exhausted little damn kid.

(NO, they are not extensions...dang.)

First Unitarian Annual Tree Trimming Party

Wow...Just, WOW.
