Kate Birch
Lesley and I had the fun opportunity to purchase originals of Kate's work back in September at the Utah Fine Art Market at the Hardware Building in downtown Salt Lake. We got 2 small, hand painted birds on old book pages.
My framer at work loves these prints and asked if I would do some research on Kate Birch (he wants to commission her to paint a wren for his daughter Wren) and I found out that she is not just another local artist. I am really digging her fresh take on florals and I can't believe she is on art.com- that's way cool. Her work is in collections and shown nationally in galleries.
So let's add Kate to the list:
1. Cassandra Barney
2. Kate Birch
3. Amy Butler (sorry about the demotion Amy- it was bound to happen sooner or later- but at least you're still in the top 3)

I'm Dreaming of a Wet Christmas
Wait... That didn't come out right.
It's been unseasonably warm here in Salt Lake- it's in the 40s- which means instead of snow we have rain. Rain that has melted all the snow we got dumped with on Thanksgiving weekend and the ground is mushy instead of frozen.
Usually I would not be complaining, I love not having to brush snow off my car or scrape the windshield in the mornings, but Christmas is the 1 time of year when we all want massive amounts of white fluffy snow.
Sing it, Bing Crosby!!!

Hope
There is some sort of metaphor here but after my day, I'm too exhausted to figure it out.
Saturday Seething (part 10 of a 444 part series)
I am easily having The Worst Day EVER. Long story short- I have been on the clock since 8:45 this morning, I have only had a bowl of oatmeal, 4 cutie oranges, a fist-full of potato chips and Coke Zero it eat all day, and my car has a flat tire and I'll have to purchase not only a new tire but a new rim as well. Now I'm sitting in a dark, empty parking lot waiting for someone to arrive to open the building b/c the items I drove to pick up were stolen after they were placed in a hidden spot. FANTASTIC

2 Weeks ‘Till Christmas!!!!! (Which means only 2 weeks from a mini-vacation at the cabin!!!! YAY!!!!!!)
But this IS Saturday Seething so I guess my rant for this week shall be: people that commit to attending an event and then do not show up, even thought the host did something extra special for each one of those individuals.
When you say you are going to be somewhere, you should be there!!!*
*This is probably why they have stand-by tickets for General Conference.

Saturday Seething (part 8 of a 444 part series)
Today's lesson, kids, is waiting patiently in lines.
Apparently this is a very, extremely difficult concept for people to grasp.
This was no more evidenced than on our cruise (reference back to my post on Florence). Now during the holiday shopping season, it seems that manners and patience are completely forgotten by the young and the old. This is supposedly the most wonderful time of the year when people are charitable and loving and yet we can treat each other SO horribly at the stores/mall (usually while waiting in long lines).
Furthermore, why do people cut in line or even worse, think the line doesn't apply to them? Do they think we are all just standing in a relatively strait path as a performance art piece? If we were all patient and courteous to others, then we wouldn't have angry mobs at stores.
On that note- Happy Christmas!!!!!
