The Truth As I See It

I can now officially call myself an artist as I have finally made my first sale.

All of my work previously has been given away to friends or in trade for other artist's pieces and for more supplies.  Not that I've minded as I was still learning to sculpt and most of my first stuff was bleedin' appalling.

Every thing is now sorted out for my son's prom.  The other half took him up town and came home £50 poorer after hiring a suit, shirt and shoes.  Fifty quid?  Is it me or does that seem a bit steep?  I don't know what the going rate for suit hire is having never had the need to hire one before, it just seems like a lot for something he's only going to wear for 3 hours.   I'm a bit wary about the whole hired shoes thing as well, as who knows what sort of feet have been in them before.  We could be talking athletes foot, verrucaes and god know's what else. *shudders*

Anyhooo...looking on the bright side.  My son looks very handsome in the suit and is very excited about prom night so I think he's got a date, not that he's said anything (the secretive little bugger) but I recognise the signs.  Just as long as it's not the Hopkins girl as I can't bloody stand her.

I just realised today that I hadn't visited blogland for a couple of weeks so I thought I'd see what's been happening and try and catch up with some posts and hopefully start commenting again.

What have I been up to?  Not much really I suppose, well nothing exciting anyway.  I've had a couple of blazing rows with the other half  which start over stupid petty things and escalate dramatically because neither of us will back down.  My son has finished his exams and is now hanging round the house like a bad smell waiting for his results and he's got his prom on Friday and I still haven't sorted out a suit for him.  I'm working on another sculpture, I've actually gotten further than this progress picture now as it just needs arms and feet.  I bloody hate that monitor in the background but I've still haven't had the broken one replaced yet.

I can't think of anything else right now apart from my friend's quest for a boob job but I'll save that for another time.
