Muse Workspace

       I've been meaning to do this entry since I broke my extraordinary Muse painting done by our resident artist Judi, Judith HeartSong  out of Gallery Jail on the 18th. They held her hostage for over 3 weeks, I wasn't very happy about that. But I promised Judi, I'd show her a picture of her paintings final resting place.

       Since I've been throwing my personal self to the open side of things this week, tonight I invite you into my personal work space. I remember John Scalzi doing a homework assignment of showing your computer space, but I missed the boat on that one, as I do on most of his assignments. Better late then never right?

       All right, I admit, I dusted for this photo shoot, but what you see is what you get. I'm pretty uptight about my work space being neat and organized. If one thing is out of place I simply cannot do a damn thing.

       That concept really only applies to my creative workspace, as for the rest of the house, well you know, I do have two daughters and a posse of adopted neighborhood kids. In other words, this is the cleanest, most organized space in my home.

        I didn't add the flowers for a sense of Better Homes and Garden fanfare, those are also a required embellishment of my work space. 365 days a year, I have some sort of flower hanging out with me. Summers I like, I get away cheap by plucking them from my yard.

       The other side of the room is my "other work" space, the boring items of life, i.e., my "real job" clutters up the other side of the room with another desk, work papers etc. When I find myself stuck on that side of the room, I find myself glancing longingly over at the side I'm sharing with you and find just about any excuse to get myself back over to this side. It's an opposing teams sort of room. Only the responsible Rebecca makes us sit at that "other" desk, to earn the green stuff that enables us to sit at the fun corner of the room.

       Do you guys ever feel like your reading about a nutcase with multiple personalities? Just wondering........be kind :o) Really, the sensitive Rebecca couldn't handle any wisecracks, but then again attitude Rebecca could come back with a written rebuttal that could leave a person speechless..........

       All right, I claim bad headache right now, and lack of mood enhancement medication. Time to rest all the natives in this complex apartment. 

       Judi, I hope your happy with her final enhancements and resting place. I'm sitting here with her looking over me and feel my personal space here is finally perfect. Thank you so much for sending me this extension of you.................

Carol good comment and your right, I should have pointed out my other essay contest Artwork I received from Judi! On the middle picture I posted, my beautiful rainbow of people are there, slighty blocked by my easel that I forgot to put down. I orginally had it in front of my desk, until I received my Muse painting. Since my corner space is limited, my youngest daughter begged me to have the rainbow picture, <as she has begged me since I first got it, she is a huge Judith Heartsong fan> but I'm still holding onto it!
