dream

so i had a dream the other night that i got a tattoo on my face. on my right cheek. it was like a logo or something. and then i was at like a flee market and there was the coolest chair thing. i've drawn a picture below. it was purple velvet and i couldn't afford it. it was $3500. it had drawers up the side. it was really cool. what does it all mean!

i am so happy and greatful

that my new stores are so successful and stress free. i've got an ad going out in the wash park news paper, i just ordered some post cards i designed (well with the help of the template on illustrator):


i was reading eat pray love and was inspired to listen to deva premal. one of the songs we danced around to the last day of massage school:

Om shree saché maha prabhu
Ki jai
Paramatma ki jai
Om shanti shanti shantihi om

May the ultimate truth and that which
is beyond all boundaries be victorious.
May there be peace, peace, peace.

it was so cute, palmer sat on my lap, his head on my shoulder singing along.

what's up with me

i heard this review of paolo nutini's new album on npr and i had to get it. it's good!
"When you close your eyes and listen to Paolo Nutini's new album, Sunny Side Up, you can hear echoes of Bob Marley, Otis Redding or a young Dean Martin."

i picked up this magazine at whole foods. i like it i'm getting a subscription. . .

this is lee rose. i saw her work at a gallery down on sante fe. . . i've got to get into her life drawing class. . . i love her work!

onsies. . . i think i need to add more. . . i've got to get that backer stuff. . .

in progress. . . ok i found how i found this picture first here to here. . . kootut murut she's awesome, from finland. i'm finnish too, but i can't figure out how i ended up on her site. . . what do you think. . . kiko just shrugs his shoulders when i show him any thing i paint. . .

follow me on a journey

not having school has given me all sorts of crazy time to read. well a lot more time then i'm used to. so i just finished 2 books this week. i have read all of these ladies other books and it's been so much time they both have new books. . . it was interesting to read them together because they are similar yet totally different. both stories of mothers and daughters, among other things. both have mention of the moon.

the crowning glory of calla lily ponder, by rebecca wells
i loved this book. i cried and cried

the almost moon, by alice sebold

it's a bit depressing

so both these books, dealing with the moon. todays a full moon. saturday, if i'm not sick anymore going to hang out to funky buddha, for a full moon party my friend is spinning.

feeling a little down the last week. work, missing my family, getting sick. needing inspiration i picked up this book i've had for years. . .

the artist's way, by julia cameron

i just started but it's pretty fun. journal everymorning and an artist's date everyweek. now this artists date, you're supposed to do alone and do something fun, looking to "fill the well" of your creativity. being at home with palmer it's hard to make time along but i think looking around on blogs is pretty inspiring and fun! so with palmer asleep for nap i give myself the gift of looking at blogs and all the creative things people are up to.

so this is my works space. not very fancy but it's working! i'm starting a watercolor of that picture i found on a blog. . .

every paycheck i put quotes in. i had a bunch of therapists flake this last week so this week i found this quote:

"80% of success is just showing up" ~ woody allen

so another blog i follow, she has a link to this talk:

feels like synchronicity to me! so now i'm starting to read this:

good things

kiko sent me this article for parents, secrets to marriage, some good tips!

and i love this ice cream

it's made from coconut milk, it's a little spendy, i got it on sale but so worth it. Only 150 calories, no cholesterol and 6 grams of fiber! yummy yummy!

wow

cadee & me at our birthday party saturday!
i just read this book about mae west. i loved it and loved her, she's such an inspiration. i have all her movies coming through netflix now.

civic

i'm a leo. . . it's almost my birthday, woot woot, dirty thirty!

i love snap dragons.

i ran around with palmer yesterday in civic center park and took a few pictures.
