I finally had enough energy to paint my pears! And I've started my "quest"! I am so excited! #thebigartquest2016 is a 12 month long art journey taught by the most amazing person @theartsherpa. Each quest is optional and can be done at your own pace, which is so amazingly appealing to a #spoonie like me! I have so much difficulty committing to things, so this format is absolutely perfect for me! I've always wanted to take an art class but can't seem to get out of the house! Plus it's #free, can you belive it? The first step in our journey was to paint these pears with absolutely no instruction (or knowledge on my part) how to paint them. At the end of the quest the goal is to "become" an artist....well technically you already are one by her definition, but watch the first video and you know what I mean.... at the end we will paint them again so we can see where we came from and how far we've come! She can be found on YouTube and teaches how to paint these awesome paintings step by step as well, if you aren't interested in "questing" along with me, you can follow along with any of her paintings that are sorted by"difficulty." I followed along with the peacock one and that's how I discovered her. She had it formatted kinda like paint nite or paint n' sip if you've ever been to one of those. They are super fun and you can do then from home, in your pj's! If you go to theartsherpa.com you can find more info any #thebigartquest and I'll also post a link in my profile to make it easy if anyone wants to quest! She does the videos live on Thursdays (I believe) but you can do them at your own pace too on YouTube and I think you can do them in any order aswell, so if you wanted to do it live on Thursdays ,you could go back later and do the ones you missed (because it started in January.) I'm not doing them live, but the benefit of "attending" the live one is you can ask questions via chat. Also since it's online all my#spooniefriends across the pond and in Australia and other countries can participate too!! If you decide to quest too, let me know! I love the "guidelines" too! #myfirstpaintings #mynewartjourney #artjourney #pairofpears #spooniefriendly #spoonieapproved

I'm so freaking excited to go to this today! It is San Diego at the fair grounds if anyone is interested. I totally spaced about posting a link to discount tickets when they were 30% off but I'll look for a link and post whats available now in my bio for my local peeps. It's TODAY, like now! 10am-4pm. I'm tired as usual, so need to move my butt and get dressed! #glutenfree #expo #glutenfreeexpo #glutenfreeexpo2016 #glutenfreelife #glutenfreefoodie #soexcited #glutenfreeyummy #glutenfreediet #glutenfreedairyfree #glutenfreediva

What an awesome mail day! Got my #influenster, #ipsy, #pinchme, a couple #Amazon freebies, a freebie from #avery, #free magazines, something I ordered off the cute app so long ago and my contacts..yeah I'm blind, gotta pay for those..at least Walgreens has 20% off tho. I barely have enough spoons to open them all. I'm tired. #mailshare #reviewerperks #freebieaddict #almostfree #mailcall

I've started back #freesample hunting. I'm excited. I wasn't able to get on the computer for a while because of the carple tunnel etc.but now I can go on for a little while a few times a week. This is what I got so far (besides Amazon #freebies and all the free magazine subscriptions.) It's takes a while for stuff to start rolling in. It's not everyday like it used to be. #freebiesoftheweek #thefreebiediva #freestuff #ilovefreestuff #freeisbest #freesamples #whypayifyoucangetitforfree

My #mcm will always be him! I will love you forever. You know me the best, and support me no matter what! #truelove #spooniesupporter #forever #i💜him #marriedfor10years

Yesterday I felt like death. I have no idea why, but it was the worst fatigue I have ever experienced. It's possibly because my body thinks that I have an infection and thus my white blood cells are through the roof (like 18-19k). ..I am not sure. But it was literally indescribable fatigue, worse than the flu, being awake 72 hours and running a marathon combined [full disclosure I've never run a marathon, not even half, but I've experience exercise fatigue to the max.] But after two days of it, it did pass, just like it always does. I knew it would from experience and thank God in the moment, I could hold on to that wisdom! #staystrong #spooniestrong #spoonielife #spooniewarriors #ihadnospoons #todaysanewday #spoonie #invisibleillness #chronicfatigue #fibromyalgia #rheumatoidarthritis

No matter how you feel today, tomorrow very well could be the best day of your life! Just hold on. #nevergiveup #fightfortomorrow #spooniewarriors #sendingspoons #spoonie #invisibleillness #invisabledisability #fight

Hopefully even though I took my shot late I will feel well enough to go tomorrow. Then Thursday is UCLA... I have an apot with Dr. Taylor my SAVIOR!
