Regret: Water Colors!

I may regret writing this post past 12 am, but I won't regret writing this post for Josie's Two Shoes Tuesday!
: )

Ok, actually I am going to bed...I'll finish my post later!

Well speaking of later, on the subject of regret, I regret going to the store on Wednesday to get a water color book instead of ordering it online. I had to go to three different stores (Kroger, Walgreens, and Office Depot) to find a water color book, but none of them had one, except for office depot, sort of. It was a multi-media book, not officially a watercolor book, but it worked!

The reason why I wanted to get water color paper is because the regular office paper gets wet and the water colors seep through. The water color paper is strong enough to hold the water colors and doesn't get wet and seep through.

Picture of the sketch book that I bought from Office Depot.

Without the water color paper, just regular office paper.


I also regret always being late for the Two Shoes Tuesdays, sorry....

    Have no regrets about doing TST on Friday... your posts are always welcome, and they always make me smile! I do those same kinds of things, look everywhere for what I want, then realize it was right there at the click of a few keys. Amazon is my most favorite website EVER! I think I could maybe live well with only an unlimited spending Amazon account. It would be fun to try! You are so right that regular office copy paper doesn't work well for this at all, but I do love that you are experimenting with all kinds of art these days... I think there is some talent lurking here, and it's a great form of self expression! Thanks for sharing your regrets with us, Joseph! :-)

      LOL, yeah! Then I won't ever have to leave the house!

      Thanks, I am thinking about signing up for art classes.

    I can see why you would regret not getting the paper you wanted online but sometimes its good to actually see what the paper will be before buying it; I find that with buying things online versus buying them at a store, though my first choice is always online, LOL, since I'm not a shopper. Glad you shared a regret with us!

      Ya, that's true. One of my problems with buying the water color paper online was that I didn't know what the paper looked like, so I was glad that I at least got to see it before I purchased it.

    Joseph, you are a man of many talents! You write, paint, photograph, and make videos. You also walk, hike, bike, work, go to school, and many other things! You are amazing!

    Luckily living in a big city getting the best materials for artworks is no problem. Unfortunately getting the best is sometimes a bit expensive! I love how the medium kisses the right material with appreciation!

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
