Do You Believe This!

Checked my emails and what did I see but a message from a Facebook "friend," responding to a brief comment I made today, i.e., "Told hubby I was having a salad for dinner, so that I could paint...." This "friend" commented, in so many words, . . . he has to cook dinner, because she has to paint. Poor guy!"

Now, I don't know how any of you would take this, but I didn't take it sitting down! My husband is attended to extremely well, thank you very much! When I returned from my week's vacation (he opted not to go), I made him a lovely red snapper dinner with all the trimmings, and a fresh peach pie. Last night, I made wonderful cashew chicken. I clean my own house, do all the laundry, take out the trash, make the bed every morning, and my house is always picked up and neat. I AM WOMAN; HEAR ME ROAR!

I find it impossible to create art in chaos. I am not a neat freak. I simply prefer order. I am not anal about it. I can let the dust sit for a couple of weeks and the floor doesn't have to be swept all the time. But I like order/organization.

What I don't understand is why some people think that painting, or any other type of art, is merely a hobby. I truly believe this "friend" is living in the dark ages --- and, you guessed it ---it is a man, or rather, a "guy!"
