Are routines good? Sometimes I feel like I get much more accomplished if I stick to a routine. Have my snack in the morning with some good coffee and sketch. Exercise. Then post. If I do that, I have the rest of the day for painting, vegging or going out. But sometimes that feels like a "rut" and that we should do something else.
Yesterday we opted for going to breakfast first. Then the grocery store. I had Gene all "trained" for grocery shopping but the past few months I have been doing the shopping. How did that happen? I do not like shopping at all and especially groceries. Part of that is my list problem. I can't follow a list or make a list to get going. I do have the grocery app on my phone and that helps. I still forget to put things on the list. It is nice at the store because it tells you which aisle to go down to find your items. I suppose I can get used to that.
We went to breakfast at the Texas Grill. It is pretty good, sort of an average old time diner but a huge place. Nothing different on the menu. They don't have migas which is something I like here in the Southwest. At home I make them with left over corn tortillas or chips, potatoes, sausage, green chile and scramble that into eggs with cheese on top. At the Grill I usually have a cheese omelette.
But, I'm getting away from the sketching.

Number 8, red - ketchup at Texas Grill with ball point pen and Precise Roller when I got home, on a coaster.
Today was on the porch - yikes! Friday the 13th! Number 7 (numbered out of order as I forgot the coaster sketch) - queen Sketched in the big book with a new Sharpie pen and colored with the Precise V7 roller. We play Telefunken, a progressive rummy game at family get togethers. They play for me as I played in Bolivia. I'm pretty sure that most of the family have fun with it ... margaritas always help.
Number 5 jar and Number 6 pickle- sub pickle relish and Number 7 ice pick. Sketched out on the porch day before yesterday in the big book with the Micron 02 and colored pencil.
I finished the pastel painting and ordered a frame. More about that tomorrow....

Sometimes routine is good and sometimes not. My computer is in my art room. Rarely do I carry it into the living room where I sit in my recliner and read or whatever. Therefore, I am way behind on my blog and my blog reading. You are about the only blog I read these days. Talk about a rut! I may have to call you to catch up on our lives.
Bag Blog, I understand completely. It is hard to keep up with blogs. I use a blog reader so I can see if any of the ones I read have posted. It just takes too long to visit every blog. We could talk once in a while, eh?
It is good to change things up a bit once in a while. I haven't been out for a real breakfast in ages...maybe I should do something about that. lol I don't get to read too many blogs any more either. I hope that means I am doing something more productive. lol I'm always glad when I can catch up on a few. My problem is with Blogger not letting me post sometimes. I have found that if I log in and do a new post and then go to "view this blog" I can usually read other blogs and post to them without getting a message that there's an error. That's frustrating!
Joan, thank you. Blogger hasn't given me much trouble but I hear they do from others. I use Firefox for my browser and have it set up to clear cookies and cache every time I quit it. Sometimes for forms for taxes or like when I signed up for the vaccine, I had to use Google Chrome. I avoid Google when I can. Except my blog. Ha. Hope you get to eat out. I know you enjoy that, too.
Lovely work Jo and very inspiring, this is what was missing by not being able to blog. Maybe I should give Firefox a try. I always use google. Thanks for visiting my blog. Take care.
Hi, jsicignano, Joan S. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you fine a solution to your blog problems. I was wondering why you hadn't posted in a while. I like your latest small landscapes.
