dc and duck decoys

so i know i've begun my last 4 posts with the "sorry! ugh, so late posting!" but i really AM sorry, and i know this one is particularly late (almost a week.....) but here i am!
as D said we were in dc last weekend, i stayed an extra day/night since i didn't have work on monday. it really was a lovely weekend, exactly what i needed. it was wonderful to see "g", who really did give a fantastic job hosting and showing off some fun stuff and i loved being amongst the monuments, etc., it made me want to grab a quill and write something on parchment. i got sick though on my last night which was really unfortunate as was my flight being canceled the next day, but i am home! and greeted by D and a box of cookies.

i worked today, helping set up for the next sale in a week, i spent around 3 hours sorting various duck decoys, which sounds boring but was in fact supremely satisfying organization-wise, i was literally putting my ducks in a row (haha? yes?....anyway) i also organized all these portrait miniatures, some of which were beautiful and old and others which were TERRIFYING. i mean truly. if i were a parent of some of these children i would not only have never hired a painter, but possibly never allowed them outside. i don't mean ugly children, i mean they look like they're out of the exorcist. but hopefully someone wants them....?? question mark? also, i looked down at myself at the end of the work day and realized, that not only did i have a wad of masking tape awkwardly stuck to my side but also random patches of dirt (from the ducks?) on various parts of my body/clothing, i looked like one of the grubby children from annie.

anyways, i will try and be more timely in my next post! i think a colby theater friend and i are trying out this 80s kareoke bar this weekend (yes that's right, and get excited for when you all come visit.....total eclipse of the heart anyone?), so hopefully there will be stories!

random, but to continue with j's flight of the conchords post, this one is so random but one of my favorites i think....
