A friend of my loaned me the entire first season of Dead Like Me on DVD. I started watching around noon yesterday, and I watched the whole thing. I finished at like 2:30 AM. Aside from taking an hour off to make dinner and pick up a little, I did nothing else all day. I didn't get dressed, I didn't return my movies, I didn't...

Ahhh...I'm being so lazy! Because I can! No husband, no kids, no job...I've read a couple books, watched half a dozen movies, gone out for drinks a couple times. Not very productive, but I'm so seduced by the fact that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. I don't have to adhere to anyone else's schedule, I don't have coordinate who's going to...

What a nice weekend. Spent yesterday and today outside, with friends, eating BBQ. Husband gets home tonight, and he promised that the whole family would go to Japan next time. That'll be a blast. It has also been requested that we all move to Los Angeles by a group of frineds down there, but I just don't think so. Beautiful, clear days like today just...

So this photographer & I are doing this collaborative thing. We've decided on The Seven Deadly Sins. Working photographs into the paintings. I'm super excited. When it's all done, the woman who is showing our stuff may decide it won't work in her Upper Queen Anne boutique/spa, but whatever, we'll peddle it elsewhere.

I also found out today that my products (homemade soap, scrubs, toner,...

Rae started this nonsense.

Silly trivial facts:

- I hate the color pink, outside of nature (flowers, sunsets, lips, etc.)

- I really wanted to be a cat for most of my life, but I've come to love my opposable thumbs

- I used to write vampire fantasy as an escape from the daily torment of hi school

- I also used to write revenge...

I sent out the evite for my 10th wedding anniversary party the other day. It's a party for our Seattle Family, those people we've come to love and depend on here, in place of our geographically-challenged biological family.

One of the first people I hung out with here, one of the first I considered a part of my west coast family, won't come. He won't...

So I leave for Cleveland tonight. It's not going to be the usual show off the kids to the grandparents trip, this time. First off, it's just me, and the cast of characters I'm planning on spending my time with is very unusual, like my old best friend whom I haven't seen in like 5 years and haven't really hung out with in 12 or...

I had 2 different people ask me yesterday if I would paint portraits for them. One can pay me, and the other is trading for babysitting. And this store-owner/designer chick needs somebody to draw things for her. Could it be that I could actually make money doing art?

I now have my very own guitar. Black Kramer, used to be Jeff's. I had to go...

I think I've got me a show! I'm going to do a collaboration with a photographer aquaintance, and show Jan-March of next year. Plenty o time to plot some cool theme and work on it. Jennifer, the salon/spa/boutique owner who'll be showing us, will print out postcards and throw us a reception.

I'm legitimate! Woo hoo!

I'm showing my paintings this afternoon to a boutique owner. There's a possible show in it for me. It'll be my first non-artwalk show. Good location, too: apparently people actually BUY things there sometimes.
