Hot Showers & Georges Barbier

Ah!!

There is nothing like the feeling of a hot shower late at night. I rarely take them (night showers I mean, not showers in general! Ha!) but occasionally there comes a need for a hot shower (like after a long sweaty yoga class) and it just feels good to be so fresh. and clean.

Greetings, Friends!

I wanted to share a few things with you!

Mainly, a new artist (well, not new at all, but new to me!) that I discovered when researching Art Deco Artists the past few days—Georges Barbier. My mind was completely blown away with his prints. They are so playful, quirky, funny, and whimsical. And they depict my favorite era—the roaring 20’s.

Not only do I live in an Art Deco style home, but I realized that MOST of my framed pieces are in the Art Deco style. They are mainly Klimt and Mucha. So, it totally fits for me to live in this place! Ha!

I have been thinking a lot the past few weeks on what art I want to adorn my bedroom walls. I have so much wall space in this new place that most of my already framed pieces are going down-stairs. I came across Barbier’s pieces and just KNEW that his prints must be on my walls. I will now dedicate the next 3 years to collecting his prints and putting them on my walls;)

Why?

Because they make me happy.

Next I will be on the look-out for art for my guest bedroom/study area. Any suggestions?

In other Jennifer Nanney News:

I have grad school orientation tomorrow! It's called "Family Day" and my Mom and Dad and Brother (Clint) are coming over to attend with me. I will meet the people that I will be spending the next 3 years of my life with. Although we are virtual strangers now, in no time, we truly will be family. 

I found out at work today that I will be working about 3 times as much as usual (30-35 hours a week) for the next 2 weeks. This made me gulp. and feel a little over-whelmed. Besides school, I have a full load just with meetings/Relay for Life/Yoga, and various other responsibilities I shoulder. This means that a few things will take a back seat the next few weeks--and they will probably be yoga/meetings/and friends. *gulp*. 

BUT, the end is in sight. I have decided to leave my Anthro Family May 4th in order to prepare for Grad School and begin Anusara Immersion 1 and 2  at Butterfly Yoga! The Immersion starts May 5th. Just in time;) I will be so sad to leave what has become "home" for me. I have loved every minute (well, most of the minutes) with my family at Anthropologie and not only will I miss my discount, but I will mostly miss my people.

I did buy this beautiful blue shower curtain today after work. It matches my blue tiled bathroom perfectly! 

Here is a better pictures I found on the internet. Mine (as you can see) is a little wrinkled. Nothing a few hot showers can't fix;)

My next Physics test is MONDAY! and I have a very full weekend ahead! I'm trying not to get too anxious and tense. A lot rides on these next few grades. I DO have to pass with a C to be able to actually attend Grad School. Hmmmm......let's not think about that. ha!

I hope everyone has had a marvelous week. It sure has blown by fast! 

OH, Weight Watchers is going superbly well! I am only on day 3 but I can tell that my metabolism has revved up and I am enjoying learning about portions. My oh MY was I eating too much food! I love eating 5 small meals throughout the day. I already feel better! I feel that in no time my weight will be where I want it to be--and in a very healthy manner.

Here's to you. 

Here's to me. 

and here's a GREAT BIG HOORAY for FRIDAY! 

“Any great work of art . . . revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world -- the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.”
