saturday - tried and true

1. not shying from the painting assignment today of drawing and painting from a live model. so challenging, but i surprised myself.
2. finding and taking the opportunity to spend a little time today doing my favorite thing - thrifting for clothes in oakland - and finding some gems.
3. the market in oakland and their apple chicken salad. i'm going to try to figure out how they made it - trial and error
4. taking the long way home from my class and enjoying the ride, even though it took me almost 3 hours due to traffic
5. how funny lea is. funnier each day. how she cracks herself up.
   

nugget: when you find yourself in the live of fire resist the urge to fight back or put up barriers. just take one step to the side and find you're still in tact.
