maybe it's 40

9/5/2015

 
I've been spending a lot of time at the playground lately, drawing and painting up a storm and oversharing the shit out of it on the Internet.  My unwillingness to self-edit is shameless and obnoxious and for that I am completely unapologetic. You don't want your Instagram feed swallowed up by a tsunami of scribbles of women with no noses, frowning into their coffee? FUCK YOU. You don't know what you're missing.

I don't know if it's lack of time, or low-grade alcoholism, or the fact that I'm about to turn 40, but in the face of all the gnatty little thoughts that used to concern and consume me, I keep reaching into my wicker basket of fucks and coming up with a fistful of nada.

You don't like my half-assed watercolor seascape?
OH WELL.

You don't like the way I breathe when I laugh? 
Invest in some noise-canceling headphones, sister. Because I laugh (and breathe). A lot.

You think the estimate is WAY too high for something you could "like totally just do yourself"?
Then guess whose self should "like totally just do it"?  

I've got pictures of women with no noses to draw.

    yours. truly.

    Amanda O'Brien is the author and sole proprietress of Blabbermouse.

    She's a wife, a mother, a reader, a runner, a writer, and, most recently, a fallen whole foods vegan. Yes those are parmesan crumbs on my cheek. 

    She can't show you how to profit by clipping coupons, take pretty photos of food, make interesting crafts, dress for less, reupholster furniture you found in a dumpster, or decorate on a dime.  She can also not demonstrate how to perform a proper squat, plank, or "burpee". 

    But she's funny and nice, and she likes you very, very much.
