I have dated more in the last month than I probably have all of my 40s. Why now? I think I finally learned how to have a lightness toward relationships. I am not expecting anything from dating except to meet some new men. There is no pressure to figure "it" out in the first few minutes of meeting someone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And what is "it"? "It" is basically a series of questions like "Is this someone I like?" "Is this someone I want to be around?" "Is this guy going to disappointment me?" "'Is he going to hurt me?" "Is I am going to fall in love with him?" It is a lot for the first few minutes for anyone person or a guy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, I learned how to suspend that part of me and just be here in the moment. It is freeing! And dating is actually fun. </div>

I am always looking for the perfect jeans. I feel that everyone is always looking for the best fitting and great looking jeans. Today, I went through a pile of jeans that had been in my closet for years.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First, I found a pair of jeans which I was able to make jorts out of. Jorts (jean shorts) are one of my signature looks. I was worrying I wouldn't have fresh jorts for this summer. Problem solved. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next, I found jeans I wore when I was skinnier. Back then I biked every day, I ate healthy and lost 40 pounds. It felt good to have lost that weight. It felt good the way it happened. I loved those pairs of jeans. I loved the way they looked on my body. I really liked being a size 16. I wanted to be smaller but it didn't happen. I think I got mad because everything didn't change because I was smaller. I had my heart broken and slowly gained the weight back. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was going to give those size 16 jeans away but then I remembered how much I loved being a size 16. I decided not to give up hope about bring there again. I kept these jeans. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I then found jeans that fit me now. They are a good shape and real denim. I folded them and added them to my current rotation of jeans. I had been longing for new jeans but wasn't finding jeans that I loved. They weren't the right fit, the right look or the right denim. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also found more jeans that I am going to donate to the Goodwill. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had a lot of jeans. I have a lot of stuff. I think the next time I am longing, I need to look at what I have and look at my piles. </div>

Back in December 2012, I started making my silhouettes. They are a direct result of my 30 days of self portraits. If I had't done those sketches, I would have never had the courage to try silhouettes. I know it sounds strange but silhouettes scared me. I didn't know how to do them, I was afraid to just play to see if it was something I could do.
This is a silhouette of the demon dogs, my Celine bag and me. I am will be spending the next year or longer making these them. I hope to have a gallery show and have some success with them. Let's see where this all goes. christine murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346056855166691354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38864806.post-32007832383405733822012-04-02T00:13:00.000-04:002012-04-02T00:13:00.108-04:00My Celine Bag<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbSnZ8qZus7uS7L_jhbKxGdnB8B56tNC7O1ybs32DwPFxZCduOSlEZrp7Hr2LK4tzBPP_VbcAnD0_U-b_DnxVAm5RFyDLgYxcb9EsOikmWnxL5F5rNC0REcM9OG6Pl8lum9hF/s1600/IMG_3220.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbSnZ8qZus7uS7L_jhbKxGdnB8B56tNC7O1ybs32DwPFxZCduOSlEZrp7Hr2LK4tzBPP_VbcAnD0_U-b_DnxVAm5RFyDLgYxcb9EsOikmWnxL5F5rNC0REcM9OG6Pl8lum9hF/s320/IMG_3220.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726621128023437810" /></a><br />It's mine and I love it.christine murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346056855166691354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38864806.post-64649975810375012052012-02-14T13:15:00.002-05:002012-02-14T13:16:05.003-05:00Love<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-G5s699GWiIRc4BkGi5akvU4iqwfxXOG52pBGZnJlOhjXa6k7E0has1bE9Yk_39IKQmv8AL4qhyOtnRX6OLTkcF6UEWDr5o-NXvNs5-rbqkRXfGXdXblwOYzzx8PkpBVHPGb/s1600/tw-celine-bag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL-G5s699GWiIRc4BkGi5akvU4iqwfxXOG52pBGZnJlOhjXa6k7E0has1bE9Yk_39IKQmv8AL4qhyOtnRX6OLTkcF6UEWDr5o-NXvNs5-rbqkRXfGXdXblwOYzzx8PkpBVHPGb/s320/tw-celine-bag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709056698609598098" /></a>christine murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346056855166691354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38864806.post-59298902717825372472012-02-11T11:45:00.004-05:002012-02-11T11:47:54.526-05:00Almost Bought These Totes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzUhmujT-kGNhKJOEO0YeXtdkGgJ7FLrth58OBfRv959Tf590FmlIv1AmbWZQPtQV0Jr3q0uCiuDYz8U2H6QbPFb4eBg1YovUwsukKquEJcNLqgjn8NLTi0ygEw-i2v8fsqri/s1600/64860-300x300-1328126221-primary.png.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 209px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzUhmujT-kGNhKJOEO0YeXtdkGgJ7FLrth58OBfRv959Tf590FmlIv1AmbWZQPtQV0Jr3q0uCiuDYz8U2H6QbPFb4eBg1YovUwsukKquEJcNLqgjn8NLTi0ygEw-i2v8fsqri/s320/64860-300x300-1328126221-primary.png.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707920291608444018" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi79Ic7L1uqgERRvuDnCk-ob9B8eC0Ogd6dBaMZX_eX65Yxc78vZTSabsGhuZl3zzA5kn9sMzDMpnp9xJe2qOaykVUw1UppYPv0wCrCwAwFaZZug75BskrqtvBv8SM1bQwKWpZ5/s1600/64855-300x300-1328125991-primary.png.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi79Ic7L1uqgERRvuDnCk-ob9B8eC0Ogd6dBaMZX_eX65Yxc78vZTSabsGhuZl3zzA5kn9sMzDMpnp9xJe2qOaykVUw1UppYPv0wCrCwAwFaZZug75BskrqtvBv8SM1bQwKWpZ5/s320/64855-300x300-1328125991-primary.png.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707920218410334322" /></a><br />Then I realized I have enough totes ...

I fondled it and thought it was either the real deal or a very good fake. I decided to break the bag fast. I made it through about 6 months before I broke and bought this $16 Goyard Bag. <br /><br />As we enter 2012, I am still not sure if it is a real Goyard. A few people have declared that it is most likely is. More importantly, o was real enough for me to satisfy my goal of a Goyard Bag. And thankfully, the purchase didn't end the root of my resolve - No Bags in 2011.christine murrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346056855166691354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38864806.post-12723333073961878422011-10-10T22:10:00.001-04:002011-10-10T22:10:00.463-04:00A Message for the President<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTi7fQ40O0sPGErt1fXfFKk4nIhmDiPQFAeIw75YmLf4oWbjpvSr5TXgdS3XBSzS9UGEOV5BtW6kpLySTRJioDHGS_wojJORY0xGhAbuabcBbYuJvbIiCC_Dl0OECWw7iz9YSj/s1600/image.american-apparel-bull-denim-tote-bag.natural.w335h380z1.jpg"><img style="display:block;
