portion of the prelicensing course for a real estate license. I got 100% on both the midterm and the final. Next, sales and law. Then the state test. Then the national test. Then spend lots of money getting set up in business. Then wait for the real estate market to pick up.
Anyone that knows me knows that I chew my fingernails. Even if I didn’t, I couldn’t grow a crop. For 4 years, I didn’t chew my fingernails. Never did they grow beyond the end of my finger. They are just so thin they fold over at the ends and peel off. I gave up. This past week, maybe spurred by the thought that I might be going on a job interview in the near future, I decided to go to a manicurist for the 1st time. I’ve never been to get my nails done. Never gone to get my toenails done. Which shouldn’t be a surprise since I have cut and dyed my own hair for the past 18 years.
I had no idea what went into putting fake fingernails on your hands. Dremel tools, sanding blocks, weird powder and liquids. After all of that, I feel like I am handicapped. Can’t tap in numbers like I used to not be able to on my second broken Glyde touchscreen phone, can’t open a can of beer. Can’t type a blog message without retyping every third letter. But I kind of feel like a girl.
Well, I’ve made it through two weeks of the real estate pre-licensing course. Got a 100 percent on my first math test, woot! It is quite a drive for me, about 45 minutes there (rushhour traffic) and about 30 minutes back.
Went to the flea market this weekend for the first time in a long time…. it was packed. So many people trying to sell things to get by or trying to find things for cheap. With the economy the way it is, I predict a lot of people will stop paying on their storage rentals and there will be tons of storage dumps at the market.
Or it just goes to show that a little bit of luck can get you anywhere. I am currently in a show in NYC at the APW Gallery. Here is one of my pieces:

I think it is pretty exciting that my first gallery show is in a group show in NYC. I wish I could have gone to the opening, but I couldn’t find a train back and I didn’t want to stay overnight. And I’m a chicken. So I hope that people take pictures so I can see people standing next to my art so I know it really happened.
