Sorry for the absence...

Been finishing artworks for the upcoming college exhibits, putting together a website for selling art, doing domestic chores like laundry, etc etc.

One of the art instructors is suggesting that I try to get a scholarship to go to school at SMU. She says their art dept is "more traditional" and a better fit for my style than the other local colleges who are more contemporary. At $30,000 per year I'd have to get a FULL scholarship to have any hopes of going there. I'm also a bit torn because 1) it's near downtown Dallas, about an hour's drive on a good day without traffic (which is never, heh), and 2) Hubby's planning on attending UNT in Denton so I planned to go there too. However, I'm old enough to know I need to attend the school that makes the most of my education, the more sensible choice... rather than one that's closer and easy to carpool to. And SMU would sure look good on a resume. I'll apply and see what happens. It doesn't hurt to try, right?

On a different note: Last week in fantasy football my hopes for a perfect season (sure!) came to an end. Brian Westbrook on the opposing team pretty much pummelled me single-handed with the other arm tied behind his back...

Oh yeah, and they FINALLY finished repaving our road. They started back... when? I can't even recall. But they not only repaved the road but they tore out all the curbs and put in new ones all the way down the street, and in front of our house they tore out the pathetic sunken sidewalk and made us a new one (we were the only ones to get a new sidewalk). Then, they even put in new sod for us along the sidewalk... cool! That had been a bare spot of grass before. I guess I'll refrain from complaining about our "tax dollars at work"... for a little while. :)
