On the way home from my sister’s house.  (These are some icy icy roads!!!) Just had a super tasty supper (bacon wrapped chicken breasts…mmmmm) & carrot cake for my mom’s birthday.

Spent the afternoon with my sister before going back to her house to get ready for dinner (getting ready for supper basically entailed me sitting at her kitchen table, chatting with her & watching  her get supper ready – lol!! [& yes, I did ask if she wanted/needed me to do anything!])  We went to a neat event called “Paint Night”. However, we decided to go to one”Paint Night” at noon…that’s what happens when you get older:  The idea of going to a painting or any type event starting too late is daunting…) Anyway, I didn’t know what to expect & it was actually kind of fun.  If you allow yourself to get past the voice inside your head screaming “I have no bleeping idea what I’m doing!!! OMG all these people are going to see how badly I suck at this!!!”  You know, that positive self-confident inner voice many of us women have!! So, when we were deciding where to sit we were thinking less about the lighting (which wasn’t great at our table) & more about where we could be somewhat on our own, yet still see what was going on.  So, the basic idea is, you’re in a bar setting.  All of the painting supplies are there for you, your job is to show up.  Then you will be instructed by an artist, step by step instructions (sort-of!!!) & you will walk out with a completed (not quite) masterpiece (yah right)!!  No pressure…and, as you’re in a bar, you can have a drink or two to up your liquid courage if necessary or to decrease your sensitivity when you realize that your painting looks nothing like the instructing artists original or any of the other participants…

Positive review by me!! If you’re looking for something different or fun to do on a night out, give it a go.  At the very least you should get a lot of laughs in!!! Yes, I have used a lot of sarcasm…I think it’s how I’m wired!  My sister & I were able to visit somewhat, just the 2 of us, without kids, husbands or our parents!!! (The very first time we’ve had that opportunity in a long long time!!  Missed her❌😘❌‼️)

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
