Last day of September, we spent a quiet Sunday today. The sunset comes, sooner and sooner these days... we wasted an afternoon watching a very confusing movie called 'Salt'... never could figure out what the heck it was about, and the ending didn't tie it up either... maybe that's why it didn't do well in the theaters.

Ron and I looked at computers today, my MacBook Pro is having noise issues again, and I messed up the screen display by picking it up with my thumb on the screen, something inside cracked... and now the display is toast.  Anyway I'm debating another laptop or getting a Mac All-in-one... Ron chose a Samsung all-in-one... really nice, they had to special order it, it'll be here by Thursday next week... maybe by then I'll have made up my mind what I want to do.  I'm thinking I'll go to the Apple store so that they can transfer all my stuff to my new computer for me.

Burgers at Five Guys for dinner tonight... junk food junkies gotta have junk food every once in a while.
Washed my purse today, my little monkey I was afraid to wash... so I drew him again.. just got creative with the color, he's red in real life.

This is a lampwork glass bead I've had for several years, I used to make lampwork beads, but my bad back put a halt to that artistic path for me. I gave my torch to a friend in Kentucky, she is making some really stunning beads these days, and from time to time she sends me one to cherish. Her name is Belinda Todd, find her beads on eBay myworld.ebay.com/b-todd/.

Contour drawing of my hand, not a blind contour and not a continuous line either... just a wonky contour and some color blending thrown in for interest.
First time is a very long time Ron and I were able to have lunch together. I really enjoyed the break in my day and some conversation. Working at home is great in a lot of ways and very lonely in others.

Rural sketchers week 39 a light bulb... drawing anything that require symmetry is a challenge for me.. so this one, I only drew one side, tried to paint around the 'other' side... didn't quite get it... but closer than I usually do... so progress.

Lazy Sunday, we haven't done one in a while, breakfast at noon, dinner/lunch at 4:30... now it's almost time to feed the cats and dogs and head off to bed.  Cool weather headed our way next week... I can't wait.

After the movie Ron and I tried out the new Italian Restaurant that opened in the same location as our favorite Aunt Bea's... they REALLY changed the inside of the place, and it was excellent food, great service, we were very impressed.  They seem to be doing very well, I hope so, Charleston doesn't have many places for really good Italian food.

Zebra stripes... and New Gamboge... looks good next to the orange page with the striped glove. Actually, I was going to draw a Zebra head, and then decided that would be too hard... and I wasn't feeling up to it today.

My laptop is making funny noises again... it drives me crazy when it does this. It does it every time I pack it up and take it on the road, it does not like traveling I guess.

I was supposed to go to a meeting tonight, unfortunately I ended up at the wrong library and didn't have a phone number for anyone... tried to contact a few folks but couldn't get hold of anyone, so I came home.  When I got home my husband Ron was finishing up a crock pot full of his killer chili... I ate way too much of it... so yummy.
Nobody got more than 50% of the vote yesterday, so there will be a runoff election between the top 2 on Oct 2nd. My candidate is one of those 2,  and got the most votes yesterday, so I'm hopeful he'll win in the end.

My tiny sea sponge.. that I've drawn many times...fit the bill for this week's Rural sketchers challenge.
SC Senate seat 41 primary election today, there will be a run-off election on Oct 2nd, between the top two, since nobody got 50% of the vote.  Miserable turn out, in my little precinct only 79 people out of 1,200 voted... apathy amazed me, those that do not vote will be the first to complain about whoever gets elected.

Board meeting tonight, then met my sweetie for dinner at Parson Jacks, one of our favorite local bar & grill places, he makes a killer grilled chicken with an Italian garlic flavor... my favorite. 
We have a primary election tomorrow for a state house Senator in my district. So I get to go vote... final time before the November election.
