Where Does the Time Go?

I am little frustrated with myself because I have done little artwork over the past few days, only doing dribs and drabs.  I have to admit that there really isn't a good excuse.

 I'll admit that I have binged a bit on reality TV.  I just discovered 'Tabatha Takes Over' on Bravo and was compelled to watch episodes when Bravo ran a mini marathon this week.  Like I said, bad excuse.

I also seem to find myself involved in little projects here and there, or preparing for workshops I lead at PeaceLove.  And there's chores and errands.

You know.  Excuses.

I wonder how many of us find ourselves in the same predicament?  Losing time basically because of the myriad of things we allow to take over?

And today is much the same.  Food shopping.  Bank.  A trip to Dollar Tree.  CVS.  Back home only to do chores.  A list of things to accomplish on the computer.
 I really want to work on art tonight.  I had promised myself to make an effort at including art in my life every day.  I need to make art making a priority.  I really hope I can accomplish that.  It's not only important to me art-wise but I need it for my mental health.

In the meantime, here's a piece I recently finished:
I"ll Never Make You Cry

When looking through my stash of sheet music, I've been on the lookout for phrases and lyrics that might be a good theme for a collage, like this one.  I need to start looking for phrases in old books too (especially romance novels).  Next project?
