well, I'm getting ready to go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, as a field trip with my kids. Actually all of k, 1st and 2nd grades are going. Can we say eek, and, And, AND, my parent chaperone canceled on me last night. Grrr. Did I mention I now have a bunny in my classroom? Maybe I did. He's black, with a silvery cast. He's a california giant, and can get as large as 20 pounds. Talk about kicking mias ass! Mia the 12 pound chihuahua. :) I 'm about ready to take my self portraits down off my bedroom wall. I think I'm about over my self portrait phase. Although it is probably about time to do another. Although really I count all my pieces as self portraits. The abstracts, they are emotional self portraits. Well, maybe not 'night' and 'day' which you have not seen yet, but the others yeah, but even night and day kind of represent the duality of my personality. yep they do. Painting, painting, painting. I've not had a show since I was in high school, and I'm ready now. I wan't a show at my favorite coffee house this summer. I bet they have a waiting list. I should research this. what else can I babble about? hmm. I dreampt I was sleeping in bed. My eyes barely open and their were two men their. Young men, perhaps barely out of high school. It didn't scare me or startle me and their was a bit of dialogue exchanged. I was naked, as I always sleep naked, and one of the guys put his hand where my crotch was under the covers, and then the other guy was gone. poof. and then the one with his hand on my crotch crawled in bed and we spooned, and I woke up feeling troubled. and wishing I had dreamed of Sam instead. I think in the dream I had many opportunities to halt it all and didn't and he wasn't even the type of guy that makes me go hubba hubba. bleh. Hmm... Hmm c, I have my queen amadala action figure displayed on my wall in her original packaging along with my darth mahl dual lightsaber candy dispenser. Amadala was such a great b-day gift. :) I should look on ebay for the little computer chip reader thing that makes her talk. ooo that would be fun. My nephew that is coming to visit is quiet the artist, I can't wait to contaminate him with creativity, I have so many paintings I HAVE to show him next week when he visits, and I want to do workshops with him and my neice, and i want to take them looking for shells on the beach and, and , and, and... heheh. Oh yeah my parents will be here too. I'll have to include them. HUGS.
