Mashed potatoes.At around 1.5 years after surgery I still haven’t got the hang of that eating thing. This annoys me.

And when something annoys me, I go fix it.

So, the food-plan! I’ve probably said it before and tried it before, but I’ll just do it all again, because one of these days it’ll stick.

screenshot.jpgI did do some drawing today, just not the regular kind.

I wanted a handdrawn design on my website for quite some time, and then Michael Nobbs tweeted a site with a whole list of handdrawn designs. This ofcourse meant I should get my act together and do it.

I spent the entire day doodling, and working with my graphic tablet. Soooo tired.

And so very happy with how it turned out!

I think everything works as it should, feel free to comment if it doesn’t.

Drawing habit: day 8After a week of drawing I suddenly didn’t draw for a few days. Not sure why, I just had all these other things to do suddenly. I decided to draw something I wanted to draw for a while, but thought would be too hard to draw.

Pretty satisfied with how Zoji turned out. I call him Zoji ‘cause we’re very good friends.

Drawing habit: day 7I don’t know if I like drawing packages. I don’t really hate it, but I don’t really like it either…

Still under consideration.

The bowl.For day 6 I drew my late evening food: a reheated portion of Wagamama’s stir fried rice in my newly purchased bowl (which turned out exactly the right size, yaay!)
I got a bit overly enthusiastic with the grains of rice, and drew them much too small but it looked so cool :D

Food.The second drawing in the challenge. It didn’t go so well, felt distracted.

My camera.I did it, I made that first drawing! I drew my camera, because it was there. And it seemed patient.

Unlike my dog who tried to get in between my pen and my book…

I lost my drawing habit. I haven’t done any drawing or doodling in ages. I miss it, and yet I spend more time cleaning up than drawing…

This morning in bed I thought how it takes a month to create a habit, so I figured I’d start drawing one drawing a day in april.

After I got up I thought ‘screw April, start today!’.

So, as of today, for at least a month, I will make at least one drawing (no matter what) to kickstart my habit. I’ll call it my ’30-day drawing challenge’.

I’ll keep you posted…

Though I don’t follow any religion I have had a lot of Christian influences in my life (has to do with where I live(d)). Growing up we had Carnival (which shows I grew up down south) and only later I learned this proceeded Lent. Ever since the concept of Lent has intrigued me, not from a religious point of view but more from the challenge point of view.

Lying awake in bed thinking about that and my current situation, I’ve decided to participate. I will give up frivolous spending and TV for Lent under the following conditions:

  • I read Lent is about fasting but Sunday doesn’t count.
  • I will fast on TV shows except on Sunday when I can watch all I want.
  • I will postpone watching that Grey’s Anatomy episode till the next Sunday and nobody will give me spoilers!
  • I will go for one dim sum lunch on Sunday march 15.
  • Boyfriend and mother have their birthday, will spend some money on that as well as the birthing day of my sister’s child (not frivolous IMHO).
  • I will not spend money on anything else unplanned unless absolutely necessary, which means no booze, no craft supplies, no ‘fun’ stuff, no iPhone apps, no online ordering. Yes to medical things for me and Nano that can’t wait.

As far as I know I’ll start wednesday, which is exactly payday. It’s a sign ;-)
