One would think that having the Boy gone for a week, I would do things. All the little projects in my head. Hanging paintings on the walls, working on my robot softies, really anything besides sitting on the couch all week watching season finales. I mean normally I watch TV all the time, but I do stuff. I work on projects. I sketch, fiddle, anything from just sitting there. But the first thing I do when he is gone? Sit on the couch and eat horrible things like tater tots for dinner. Just tater tots (I did have some barbeque sauce) but mostly just the TV watching.
As soon as the Boy is home I am ready to do stuff. I am almost done with another little soft robot. And hopefully I will get my Month of Softies project done! I even went into the city today and got the work digital camera, but forgot to bring the cord to plug it in, so no pictures for you!
I am really excited because I got my Holga camera the other day and I went to B&H photo and got a bunch of film. I was most glad to be out of B&H. You would think that living in NYC I could handle lots of people. Not so much. I do a weird freeze and tense thing. I feel like I am walking through honey. I feel sticky and slow. A couple of times the Boy and I have been in or around Times Square and he has to guide me out of the crowds. I happened when I was with the Boy and my Dad we came out of a movie theatre on 42nd Street and the Boy looked back and saw my deer in headlights look and hooked arms with me and out of the crowds we went. I always feel really silly after, but it happens. So after I got out of the extremely crowed B&H I walked down the quite 9th Avenue instead of trying to wade back into the 34th street madness.
It was amazing. I never really walk over there and I saw some beautiful things.
An Indian man taking photographs of beautiful young Indian woman with a pale yellow sari and a very pregnant belly.
I turned down 28th Street and I saw the most amazing view of the Empire State Building above all these trees on a curvy street.
Back to my sewing…
