My father-in law stayed with us for two weeks before we left for Texas and he loves James Bond movies. So, this title is a shout-out to him and to James Connery, who might not be a great person but made the sexiest bond ever, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, on to daily matters. Not much to report from this little town in Tejas. We have been to the mall (which is very depressing, it shrinks every year) to the Super Wal-mart (not many super ones on the east coast), to the catfish restaurant (yum) and to a little sweet shop on the square that was as good as I remember it. (I'll take you there when you come down honey ;))

That is all I've really wanted to go to here. As I drive around I point out sights to the Pud, my old middle school, an old house where I lived in my party days, the courthouse where I worked between highschool and college. It seems to pull me down this town but I think it's all mental. I remember how bored I was here and how the days seemed to drag on forever with nothing to do. I wish that I would have picked up a pencil then and drawn more, instead of watching t.v..

I am in a much better place now. I don't think it has as much to do with the location as with the people I have now. I now have my husband (we met in college), my beautiful daughter (who has fallen in love with the two dogs my sister has and will be crestfallen when we leave them) and my art. Those are the three major differences in my life, the three things that make me happy to wake up every day and to feel worthwhile, like I am doing something good in this world. They feed off of and support each other, making me feel like a complete person.

Anyhoo..enough of the introspective, I have doodled nothing. Not one thing. So, as soon as I can convince the Superpud that sleeping is as much fun as watching the ruh-ruhs, I will draw.
