different painting

skipped all my classes today to go to work, do the administrative assistants week thing. i hate how they change the name of it every year. teleflora's marketing is professional secretaries, which i think is just AWFUL. pandering and wordy and sexist. anyway, sales weren't that big, which makes me worried. it can only mean two things, both of which are bad: 1. people aren't ordering flowers for their assistants this year, or 2. they aren't going to get around to buying them until wednesday, and we're going to be CRAZIER than usual. i'm glad i don't have to make the flower decisions charles does.
the food situation's bad here- i bought groceries for fast and easy things to cook, but i never have time in the right places in my day. i bought lunch, which also served as dinner today, but i'm going to need to do the same thing tomorrow. i skipped not just the morning classes today but advanced costume design, too. sorry frances. my renderings will be done next monday, i promise. and after work i put on my painting clothes and went to the getz to help grant paint! horray! i love it. and who else was there but daniella, from my s&c class. have i talked about her before? she rides her bike to school, she's an actor and was in 3penny. (shoot! THAT's what i was going to do this weekend! how could i forget. oh well. the run's over now. ) i think i like her, a bit. not painfully so, just fun. she was dripping gold paint on the gears, then washing them with glitter glue. i was doing blue and brown washes on the curtains, and then painting the gear structure brown. there's this great brush with half the bristles cut out, like teeth missing on a comb, and i was using white to add stripes like wood grain. it's a super cool set.
but now i'm home and dirty and exhausted. certainly not up for cooking tomorrow. tomorrow i have to draft after work. i need to make my white model. grrr. i'd rather leave the set design up to grant. i'll stick to flowers and paint. i wanted to take a bath, but it took mom 30 min. to check her email fast before i went to bed. i finally called to hassle her. she's still online, with marty's account now. it's her own fault she's tired.
