Dolly Mamas and the Squirrels

I’m sitting at my desk watching the squirrels jump from tree to tree outside my window and thinking, “Pick a tree already and just be.” Two seconds later, I look to the left to see a Dolly Mama greeting card I need to send out to a friend, and a creative thought pops into my head, “I could gesso the whole card, leaving just the Dolly Mama and turn her into a fabulous new piece of artwork.” Then….My iPad calls me, “Finish this last drawing for your manufacturer. OK, I’ll get on that. But…A Dolly Mama t-shirt could use some beading around her skirt. Oh look, there’s my book. I know, I need to start writing the next one." (It has been a very colorful year). I then proceeded to spill coffee on my favorite vintage sweater and throw it in the wash without reading the label “WOOL.” I am now the happy owner of a Barbie sweater. This got my brain into hyper speed, “I could cut flowers out of it and add the pretty buttons as the center, blah, blah, blah.” Have I gotten ANYTHING done today?…Ahhhhhh…..NO. Then it occurred to me….I am a squirrel.
