Okay...

I'm starting this blog. I don't know who reads this, but I guess I should talk about myself. I broke my ankle in sanda class (chinese sparring) about 7 weeks ago. I broke the fibula and severed the ligaments. So I had surgery and had a metal plate put in with screws! They also sewed my ligaments back. My husband says no more fighting...which sucks because I was getting good at sneaking in a back kick during sparring. I have to admit I was getting majorly bruised by the guys in class. Maybe I'm getting too old for this! So when I go back in November, it'll just be forms for me (too bad...extra metal in my leg should hurt more when I kick)! I think I can do Tai Chi (ZZZZ) in September. So now I can't go to kung fu (which I used to go 4-5 times a week), so I decided to concentrate on painting in Photoshop and Painter; which I admit I've been neglecting because of my martial arts.

One of my goals is to pay more attention to my art collegues here on CG society. The wealth of talent here is amazing...hopefully I can absorb some of these ideas and improve my work. I plan to enter the "Strange Behavior" competition, mainly to get feedback and meet people. I'm trying to work up some ideas.

Anyway, that's all for now. I probably should go feed the doggies (I have an Australian Shepherd and a Sheltie).
