Charlie O'Shields

You’re such an inspiration–24 hours without a “anything” happening to write about and you simply show up, managing to intrigue and entertain us readers with your imagination! Oh, and 20 lbs, lost over the past few months; that’s amazing!

I think I know where the 20 pounds you lost went and I’d really like to send them back!

I agree it would be great to be able to blend at times. I like this little chameleon, Charlie.

I remember those tv trays…with flowers. Congrats on the weight loss..it is not easy. Love your happy chameleon!

Aww thanks so much, Valerie! 😃💕 I’m thrilled you enjoy these! I’ll be here at least weekly after this, and I’m plotting something new that may bring me back more in the future. 😉 hehe

I was totally a chubby kid, until I hit high school. My mother claims I wasn’t, but I wore husky jeans and was called fat by the other kids. I wasn’t huge, but not remotely skinny then. As an adult I was dancing, exercising, performing in shows and one costumer said she refused to alter my clothes to be any smaller. Things change indeed! lol And I agree! Those furniture gallery houses make me so uncomfortable!! 😃💕

Bonjour, Cathy! 😃💕 The tables are not really interesting enough to sketch… hehe.. and we have much healthier food on them than tv dinners – https://doodlewash.com/tv-dinner-day/ – hihi… Congratulations are returning in September! That’s wonderful you’re returning to the kids again! (and apologies, that I’m only fluent in French reading and not in writing yet😊)

Your chameleon is gorgeous as the colors you used! Enjoyed the story of the tv tables which always were a staple in our house. I have one now but it mostly holds books and pads(for drawing) by my tv chair 🙂 Good memories though thanks!

Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 hehe… everyone mentions my face when they notice the weight loss, so it’s become a thing! lol

I used to be so super-focused. People would talk to me and I wouldn’t even hear them. But over time, my jobs required me to multi-task and I had to train myself to not to focus as hard. Now I can barely focus at all! What a difference a decade (or two or three) can make!

Adorable little squirrel, Charlie!!!

Right on Charlie.

I love this Sherlock Holmes mouse.

I can be a little more squirrely these days LOL Love your painting and try not to work too hard!!

Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 They also play poker and Phineas cheats…at least as another part of the elaborate story Philippe and I weave! lol

Thanks so much, Carly! 😃💕

Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Almost called him Squirlock Holmes, but wasn’t sure if that worked. hehe And thanks! I guess my lack of focus can create a superpower in a way! Here’s a more relaxed week again!
