I’m lagging terribly behind. If I haven’t done a return visit yet then I will do my best to take care of it when I come by your place with this week’s ‘Comedy’ art prompt. My first thought was Lucille Ball. Although, Valentine’s Day is now past us, I couldn’t help but to think about the candy factory scene with Lucy and Ethel.
My woman isn’t a Lucy carbon copy but I betcha anyone who sees it knows who I was trying to draw and the episode that inspired me. Okay, how about another Lucille Ball attempt?
I searched for caricatures to mimic and I got something like this. She’s not at all exaggerated but quite lovely and yes, I know she isn’t a dead ringer for the goofy red-head who brought so much laughter to all of us.
I’m thankful despite the cold temperatures we did not have snow or ice. This was a concern earlier in the week but nothing was reported. Those living to in all four directions around us had either bad roads, even power outages but here in the Tennessee Valley things were okay. We don’t have an alternate heat source should the electricity go off. It’s all I can do now to keep my toes and fingers warm enough, so I’m extremely thankful that we have power. I’m thankful for God’s guidance. We made plans to get our car paid off a year from now provided nothing major happens. This will take tightening our spending habits to put all extra monthly income that we can onto this one loan. Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for us. The sacrifice is worth it if we can do it as we’d save a lot of money in interest if we can pay it off early. All things are possible with our Good Good Father!
I’m winding things up today with Kat’s Writing Workshop. This week I’m borrowing Kat’s prompt to write about one thing I would change about myself if I could.
The one thing I would change about myself if I could would be my mid-section. I know I can lose the weight if I push myself hard enough. I definitely want to drop these undesirable pounds that I’ve been wishing away. The trouble is once I get the excess off my stomach won’t look like it did when I was younger. After three full-term pregnancies, one miscarriage, and multiple abdominal surgeries these muscles are horribly weakened. Strengthening my core will help but isn’t a complete fix…I don’t think so anyhow. I do need to incorporate core training back into my exercise routine not only to help my stomach’s appearance but to strengthen my lower back. Once I’m feeling good with my accomplishments, I’d have a tummy tuck if I could. A friend told me it’s a very painful process. Maybe, it’s a good thing I don’t have the money to get this done. Oh well…maybe I will find a magic lamp to make a wish for gorgeous abs. Not that wishing for such things ever happened, I think I’ll have a little fun listening to Stevie Wonder sing “I Wish”. Music always moves me and that’s the first step to making my wish come true. 😉
It’s time to get those abs of steel!
