Tagged and In Touch

Well, lol, a first for me! I've been tagged by Thanks, Neesa - I think!

So here we go:

The Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.

Random facts about judee:

1) You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. I was born and raised in the Lone Star State. Lived there until I was 30 at which point I was whisked away by a Swiss man, and I've been living in Switzerland for the past 25 years. Almost half my life! But as much as I feel at home here, Texas will always be "Home" to me.

2) I have two beautiful brilliant bi-lingual daughters and am very proud of both of them!

3) I have an ex husband (yeah, the Swiss)- after 17 of marriage he decided to make another family. But he still takes care of us financially, which is a blessing - and he is close to his daughters, and amicably tolerated by me, lol.

4) I am a Writer pretending to be an Artist. Why? Long story and way too much typing to post! But I do love doing the art. When I'm not busy making stuff to sell or learning new programs, lol!

5) I love architecture and designing homes - in the Sims! Haven't done it in a long while - since about two computers ago. Now my daughters have Sims 2 and I keep wanting to install and play with building - but never seem to find the time.

6) I spend most of my day (and night) in front of the Computer. I have a tall back chair that inclines about 30%, and I sit with my legs  up on the front part of my corner desk, two screens, one on each side of my feet, lol! Cordless mouse and keyboard and tablet are all close at hand. (The other side of the desk is to my right so I can easily do the mouse.) This is where I live. Literally. Aside from running errands, getting groceries, or doctor appointments, this is where I spend my day, and yes, I even have my meals here. ;D And I still feel like I never have enough time?? Yep.

7) I eat very little - maybe one meal a day, usually around 4 or 5 pm, then my secret sin, a midnight snack of Ice Cream! My current favorite is Cinnamon Sugar ice cream - reminds me of the cinnamon toast I used to eat as a kid.

8) Already? And here I didn't think I'd make it to 8. So what profound secret of life can I leave you with? Perhaps one of my favorite phrases will do: "It's all in how you look at it." Life is perception. Everything. Every experience we have is interpreted through a unique perspective made up of who and what we are. Life is a somewhat abstract, sometimes surrealistic painting that each person interprets according to their own point of view. It really is all in how you look at it.

And so it is!

Now, I'm supposed to tag someone - er, 8 someones! Several of my friends have already been tagged, so I'll see what I can come up with:

            

Whew! Did I do okay?

Part Two - In Touch

I've been totally out of it this week. Finally getting around to re-installing Poser and other programs (after my re-format a month ago) and I've been trying out some 3d modeling programs. I really don't know where the time goes. It seems I start something and look up after what seems like about an hour, and realize that 3 or more hours have passed! When did I get so slow? Or is time speeding up? Or is that too a matter of perception?

Who was it that said, "I used to fill a lifetime in a day."? Now, a day goes by in the blink of an eye. A week is like minutes, a month is like an hour. Gone, flown, and so little actually accomplished.

But that's okay. I don't "have to" accomplish anything. All is good, and I do eventually get things done. Proof? I actually wrote in my Journal today, and responded to the tag!

So, it's time passed, not time lost. Because whatever I do with it has value to me within the moment of doing - or not doing. Now I'm off to choose what I will do (or not do) next.

Seeya whenever!
