My “Real” First Comment

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

I received my first real comment on one of my blog posts from Dinah at Discardia.

Yesterday I spent the better part of the day cleaning my studio space because of the moth scare. I decided to clear out the truly unneccesary “potential” art materials. Throughout the day I kept asking myself, “What would Dinah do?” At the end of the day, there was her comment.

Serendipitous.

Uncertainty about my choices faded; I felt validated.

I did have a weak moment, one in which I felt a bit overwhelmed with the task at hand. To calm my mind I typically do one of two things–read or bake. I opted for baking chocolate chocolate-chip cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

Vegan of course.

The recipes are based on Jennifer McCann’s book, Vegan Lunch BoxTriple Chocolate Cupcakes and Chocolate Vegan Buttercream.

After a cupcake I went back to my studio refreshed and ready for the task. I needed to stop addressing the cleaning and clearing in a random, willy nilly way. I needed to be methodical.

I started with the first set of shelves where loads of small open containers of bits are stored. Interesting that the boxes of jars that I was keeping for someday came in handy.

Yeah, I am pretty sure that I am not going to make snow globes.

And lids will keep out unwanted critters.

Nathanael “Big Baby” and “Queen” Nora appreciated your comments too.

But it isn’t real…

I am new to blogging and imagine my delight when I received my first comment. This is what it said–

“Super insights! I have been previously looking for something like this for a time now. Thanks for the tips!”

But it isn’t real, it’s spam.
