(Not the best thing I ever made, but still it was fun.  I like the quote)

“Love is a temporary madness.

It erupts like an earthquake and
then subsides. And when it subsides
you have to make a decision. You
have to work out whether your roots
have become so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should
ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not
excitement, it is not the promulgation
of promises of eternal passion. That
is just being “in love” which any of us
can convince ourselves we are. Love
itself is what is left over when
being in love has burned away and
this is both an art and a fortunate
accident. Your mother and I had it,
we had roots that grew towards
each other underground, and when
all the pretty blossoms had fallen
from our branches we found that we
were one tree and not two.”

-St Augustine

     I have decided that I am going to do the "Thing-a-Day" thing in Febuary, but I think that I am going to post here instead of on their website.  What you do is create something once a day, spending about 1/2 hr. on each thing.  So I am going to try it.  I will probably go over on the time limit, though.  I am pretty slow with things most days.  Here is my pre-Feb.-too-excited-to-wait post.  I have it all planned out.  Mon. is my Poetry day-Limericks and Haiku alternating, Tuesday is my postcard day, Wednesday is my paper flower day, Thursday is my drawing/ painting day, Friday is my jewelry day, and Saturday is my UFO Day (Unfinished object day) so that I can get four at least of my unfinished objects I have lying around the house done, anyway. Sunday is my easy day, where I am going to try and make an easy salad out of one of my four ingredient cookbooks.

So here goes nothing.

Wish me luck.
