DUAG meeting tonight

I will be sure to post the details tomorrow.

By the way, I started Weight Watchers on Monday

and ran into someone yesterday that I haven’t seen for  a few months and she said (I’m not lying) “Wow you look great, have you lost weight?”

HA! And I was thinking about cheating.

I am an Auntie (again!)

My friend Sarah had her baby on Wednesday at 11:11 pm. She delivered in a half hour. I know, right?

Here we are: Oein (O-wen) and Auntie

New line of handbags

I have finally found a partner to do handbags with. Although I can sew, I choose not to b/c I’ve broken every sewing maching I’ve ever had. So, after a meeting tonight, I can see if this is really going to take off.

I guess I was not meant to be in the corporate world. This is why I’ve tried so many other careers. I would ultimately like to open my own studio/gallery space where I can share my love of creation. My attempt in the public schools has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The kids are great, the political bulls**t is too much. These are my goals (because to spell them out seems so solid and tangible)

A. Win the lottery (as soon as I start playing)

B.  Should  “A” not work out, receive government grant to:

C. Run an open studio/gallery for children/adolescents

D. Offer private classes through the studio

E.  Host fundraisers/charity events (in the studio)for young people with disablities

So, I’ll need to finish up my masters, find info on grants and start shopping for space now. In fact, right now.  

People are actually reading this?

Thanks to those of you who have actually read this and posted a reply. To my shock and amazement, you are real (and you’re not my mom or husband)!

The pressure is really on, now.

Anyway, I volunteered at “Meet your best friend at the zoo” this weekend and am so happy to share that almost 100 pets went home from the MHS alone!  I guess I am not giving up on humanity quite yet.

New exhibit of old stuff

I will be having an art show at Che Cosa in Mt Clemens from October 5-November 4. It will be a compilation of three previous series (what’s left of them). The series names are:  One Woman Army, The World Does Not Revolve (Around You), and Dream vs Nightmare
These series explore a personal strife and a search for what is just and right in the world.  Seeking purpose after a shattering blow to my ego, I purged so much hatred and confusion onto the canvases in this collection, it is good to see them filtering out of  my inventory. I have now begun a new series contemplating physical illness and its relationship to emotional suffering. In writing all of this down, it seems as though my art would be gloomy and dark…maybe even angry. But, not so! My art is colorful and full of movement. hmmmm…..
