Today I found out that The Charlotte Observer will be revealing winners of their "Draw the Pirate" contest in Sunday's paper. Suppose I didn't win since they haven't called or anything. Sort of disappointed but not really. The instructions said, "Be creative." If I'm supposed to draw the pirate exactly like what I saw, in what ways am I allowed to be creative? Should I have used crayons? Or tissue paper? Or maybe drawn or painted it with dripped wax? I really don't lack creativity. But I do lack boldness, I suppose. I didn't "step outside the box." Just how big or small is that box? Anyway, I'll find out just how creative others got on Sunday. I'm very curious to say the least.
I had dreams last night about dressing store windows in the South Park Mall. And about getting noticed by the visual merchandising elite (if there be such things). Am I getting desperate? Certainly sounds like it. If I were 20 years old that would be a cool dream. Actually, I think I was around 20 in the dream. What.........e.......ver!
I'm jonesing for Diet Coke. That's now a no-no for me. Along with salt, sugar, processed carbs, and anything else edible on this planet. Guess I'll just eat air for the next 6 weeks. The Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover program should be coming soon.........if they didn't screw up the order. Nothing is showing up on my online bank account anymore. Before, it showed that I had ordered TWO programs....NOT! Now that my account was "reimbursed" it shows that I ordered nothing. If I get it in the mail are they charging me for it? One would think. Are they gonna surprise me in two months and deduct it from my account without notice? Hope not. Would another phone call fix it this time? Maybe. But I really want to get started on that program! The one called "Real Life......Live it or Die."
