Reading Rainbow



My friend is such a clever creative girl. She is quite the bookworm, just like me. We both have a slew of books and very very full book shelves. During a recent shindig at her lovely abode I noticed her new arrangement of her books. They were sorted by color. How beautiful! Such a slendid idea made me quite envious. My own library is arranged alphabetically by chaos (the white shelves below her rainbow shelves).

Morning

Mark and Marilyn


There was a glitch on the schedule at work...and miracles of miracles, wonders of wonders...over the next eight days I only work once before I get back in to the routine of the work schedule. What a happy overlooked error on behalf of my manager. I was clueless of this news worthy event until yesterday. Thus I have an open calendar...books to read, drawings to hang, baby shower gifts to be made, a party to attend, brows to be waxed. I am giddy. Above are two new portraits of Mark and Marilyn. For one of my New Year resolutions I vowed to take more pictures of those I love...I believe I am going to make an addendum to that...to include drawing more portraits of people I love and those who inspire me to be more with my life...

The Girls


The Golden Girls Necklace from Trashed Clothing. It is currently a new favorite conversation piece at work. Who knew there were so many Golden Girl fans? I guess you have to love them and all their fancy pajamas and midnight cravings for cheese cake. Television inspired me to have a life like Rhoda in my 20's, Kate and Alley in my 30's , Elise from Family Ties in my early 40's, Murphy Brown in my late 40's....and later a life much like the Golden Girls. My new assistant on overnights would like to get one for himself....Which Golden Girl are you ?

Witness


  • The metro was crazy.
  • My toes and nose froze.
  • After the third hour I was starving.
  • My scarf was cute and useless.
  • The port-a-potties were out of toilet paper.
  • He arrived.
  • He took his oath.
  • He spoke to us.
  • The benediction was great.
  • The poem kind of sucked.
  • My nose was still froze.
  • I gave up on the scarf and feeling my toes.
  • The stomach growl was fierce.
  • The metro was even crazier.
  • When we finally arrived to my friend Jason's home...I fell asleep mid sentence on the couch.
  • It is the most amazing thing I have ever been a witness to...
  • I am so thankful.

Self

It is so hard for me to draw a self portrait...my mother tends to appear on the page before I am done. I thought it only right to apply the memoir assignment to myself and to see what would happen. The words were submissions from my little sister and a dear friend. And I really love how my glasses turned out...so very wicked and nerdy! Just like me...
