Ideas, Distrations, Writing and Art
Welcome to my website. I lean left, over analyze, decide with logic over sentiment, embrace asymmetry, get the heebie jeebies, exercise too little and know my birth certificate lies. I am frequently distracted, fidgety, forgetful, or dazed and dismayed. I am an artist, dabbler, writer, web designer, and certified gadgophile. I have had as many as five blogs going at a time covering a wide range of subjects. 
This current re-invention of the remaining two blogs (Fiery Heart Designs and Onedia in The Ozarks) is necessitated by the need for a more structured life both in my studio and in daily life. I work from my multi-media studio and occasionally from my chair in front of my favorite news channels.
Why Am I Here?
Doing housework can be either a protracted process or a whirlwind of activity depending on the day, time and urgency of the need for the cleaning evolution. I dislike cleaning chores some more than others. I would rather clean the toilet than do the dishes and I always ask my husband to do the vacuuming if he is around. Actually, on any given day it does not occur to me to dust or vacuüm or sweep the porches unless I happen to come in the front door and notice the leaves or whatever on the steps or landing. I am reminded of dusting when the dust clouds off the night stand when I move a book. I do notice the bathroom more often compelling me to wipe out the sink before I wash my hands. However, noticing the need for housework does not mean that I will do it that day or even the next or next. It usually takes an uncomfortable sense of disorder and some sneezing or coughing because of pet hair floating in the air.
