Manifest Destiny
December 25, 2003
I am working on manifesting my own destiny for 2003. But I have a lot to work on it before I post. So I thought I'd start small by Manifesting My Destiny from Dec. 26th to January 5th:
1. Get Chris the Bass Guitar he wanted instead of the Electric Guitar the stupid online place sent.
2. Bake gingerbread cookies and pignollata because all my kids are going into home-made cookie withdrawal. (Surreptitiously showing them HOW to make them so they can take over the baking, see post of few weeks ago.)
3.Set up my scanner and post a whole bunch o' artwork. Is it possible to use the typad Photo Albums as my pseudo-web page that I am too busy/cheap to have someone set up for me and too busy/dumb to do myself?
4. Get some Good Books to Read. I am trying to read "City of Light" but it's so bogged down in the history and development of electricity in the early 1900's around Niagara Falls, and the narrator is the headmistress of a private girls school and thus the tone is too Edith Wharton for me, NY Times Notable Book or not.
6. Go to the Met for a mother/daughter stroll, outrageously over-priced lunch and sketching Neopolitan Baroque Creches.
7.Go to Cloisters to sketch.
8. Go to Serendipity for Frozen Hot Chocolate.
9. Call Kate's Paperie and find out what happened to the special order of the 3 all-media journals.
10. Rip down sheets of assorted paper I bought in September to make my own journals. Make journals.
11. Decide what submissions I am going to do over the next 6 months to various art magazines.
12. Go to Knit New York and buy wool and knitting needles because I don't already have enough expensive craft and art supplies that I am not using and I could go to the cheap-o yarn store around here to see if I really like knitting since I haven't done it since 5th grade, but what fun is that??
13. Have the Albany cousins come down with their kids.
14. Badger son into finishing essays for college.
15. Badger youngest into cleaning out her clothes and giving stuff away.
16. Badger oldest into helping with above.
13. Sleep, eat, read, and figure out a way to support myself without going back to the Bronx courthouse!
