claudine hellmuth's blog: retro * whimsical art and illustration

it's tuesday! oh boy!

Paul and I ventured to the vortex that is Target and stocked up on a bunch of stuff. Then we get home and we realize a whole bag of stuff was left behind. Darnit! Don't you hate that when that happens? Now to decide whether to waste 45min to drive back and get it or to let my hot chocolate and microwave popcorn go.

Other than that, just worked on commissions today and got a lot of work done. Thanks to Donna for mentioning me on her blog. I got a few orders and it's much appreciated!! You are a sweetie!

Here's a pic of an 18x24 Poppet^TM Canvas commission that I just shipped off. This cute couple is getting married on Saturday and she is giving her husband-to-be this piece as a wedding gift! Awww!

Now we're watching The Amazing Race. I love this show. Anyone else watch it? I didn't see last season because the family version annoyed me, just way too many people. I loved it when Joyce and Uchenna won in Season 7 and I was so glad that Rob and Amber didn't win! whew!!

I love the wedding gift art work!

I missed the first half hour of A.R. last night. It's one of my favorite shows. I was sort of hoping the LOUD, screeching sisters would be the ones eliminated. Oh, well. My favorites right now are the guys that dress uniquely. ;) ("Evahbody crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man..") The nerdish couple is kind of cute too.
I was crazy about Joyce and Uchenna! SOOO glad they won...and that 'Romber' didn't. ;)

I was totally hoping that the schreeching ladies would be out. they were so annoying, what was with all that screaming??!!
They probably think it's cute, but then wait till they see how it really sounds when they watch themselves on TV!

should be a good season :)

The Hippie guys are my faves so far - I just really like the kind of person who would race around the world in an orange ruffled tuxedo shirt. My girls just had a fit over the old couple walking past the clue box 100 times. AR was a welcome break from Idol! And tonight, I get my Santino fix. Only 2 more episodes :(

I can't read any of these comments cuz we taped Amazing Race last night to watch today.

I did get a glimpse of the orange pants guy tho, how great & too funny.

I didn't enjoy the family season either. I think it was because the majority of traveling they did was in North America.

I want you guys to start watching Boston Legal. It is a fabulous show, great writing, original plots, good acting. I never could stand William Shatner in Star Trek, I love him in this and his scenes with James Spader are a delight. My big fear is that this won't appeal to the young demographic and the network will drop it.
