among the hollyhocks

I finally have my first ever pair of glasses! Sometime this past winter, I realized I couldn't read or be on the computer for long without tiring my eyes out. I finally got my eyes checked and found out I have astigmatism. (I was secretly glad because I've always loved glasses and always wanted to have some, just for reading.) I adoreee my new glasses and can now read, paint, and type comfortably! Yay! I'm finishing up my pieces for the 8x8 show and can't wait to see people I haven't seen in a couple of months (or a couple of weeks, or a couple of nights). Tonight I watched 'America's Greatest Dog' (I believe it is called) with Rachel and her friend Rachel, and I am hoooooked. I need dogs in my life! I miss O'Malley and Gizmo so much. I'm heading back to Buddy Dog Humane Society in Sudbury to begin dog walking again. It's been far too long. I hope to see you all soon at the show, or whenever! Love, Amanda.
