pantyhose! June 30, 2011

The creative hounds are out, people. That's why I've been so quiet around here. 

 

Gabe and I have worked out operation, Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey, for yours truly, so that's what I've been doing. Getting up absurdly early, before the baby wakes if you can imagine that, to sneak off to the coffee shop to write and think. Sadly, eggs and bacon are usually not involved, though lots of coffee and toast seem to be.

 

The getting up in the wee hours is mildly painful, (especially when there are baby snuggles in the mix…)  but I've found that getting up for something that I'm desperately excited to do, is much easier than...oh I don't know....getting up and putting on a pair of pantyhose and heading out to a job where pantyhose are required.

 

I know that for many many people, putting on a pair of pantyhose does not feel like they are squeezing their soul into something tube shaped and wrong, and I salute you. For me, a pair of pantyhose in the wee morning hours is enough to reduce me to pitiful, weepy wails. It's also enough to inspire me to keep making a living as an artist, even though that can be a tough sometimes. And I must admit, a major perk to working for myself is wearing whatever I please. 

 

More soon....
