My kitty knocked himself out

Tim burton presents Ethan

We found these fantastic steel curls at the Locks were we live and i had to have his picture with them.

Trollin

So yesterday i stuck my hand up a trolls nose.

What a lovely day.....

I know such a weird group of photos...but wait there is a story. 3 nights ago I had a dream I was in a theater with Ethan and Gabe and my pals Brenna, Carl, and and Diana....we are all just sitting there looking forward at a movie that is not playing..its like whatever is up there is really not important. We are all winning prizes in some giant raffle and the whole time this is going on I am eating a delicious sausage mcmuffin. I have been wanting one ever since so today my dream was realized and it was beyond fantastic. I suppose the waiting to have it made it so much better as well. Since Gabe got it for me it was even more tasty as free food always is. So my day continues

Gabe and I go to Game stop where I am told the game I saw at Toys R Us is really hard to find and they never get turned in at game stop so Gabe takes me back to get it (its on the cheap because I have learned most DS games I want are not really that sought after they are only cool to me..this is fine as I like having such an unusual taste) So I run in and get it...Its called Titanic and its one of those games where you have to find everything in the room to build a tool to solve the puzzle to get to the next room...I love them. (note to self I want the second one called Buckingham Palace how will they ever recover the Crown jewels without me...tee hee) check this image and tell me its not completely awesome.

This brings me to legos...people I love them. The new girly legos,...well I was torn but I bought a small set for 11 bucks because she had black hair and it was a set for a fashion designer...so I got them opened...fell in love. She has a lego camera and little drawers for her cabinets ..I made a lego sewing room today and it was such joyous fun I felt wonderful.

So then Gabe gets me a book at Barnes and Noble...look up above its the watercolor book...lets start by saying brilliant its suppose to be 200 tips and secrets and guess what they are great. It tells me how to read the paint tubes and how to pick my brushes its just one cool thing after another and I am only in the first chapter.

The evening ends with a homemade BLT and Archer cartoons on Netflix. This was a good day dare I say even great....okay Lovely....so if you want to know what to get a girl like me it appears the Legos and Watercolors are my new passions...(don't worry still sewing and dancing folks just adding some new creative outlets to my repertoire)

Its important to take the time to stop and enjoy what you have and those around you who share in it. As you can see Tea with the Great One is a perfect way to mellow out and unscuttle your day. Everytime I see my lovely Cthulhu handmade with love by my dear friend Diana it warms my heart and helps me to realize I am loved and lucky to have all the amazing people in my life. I think about this day in Sonora at Kate's Tea House and remember the laughing and fun we had, the warmth of the day and the tasty tea and treats. I miss it. Every day and every hour. I know I can have more moments like this but because they are more rare right now I treasure each one like a precious jewel. My mom will be visiting me in just 12 days and soon after a visit from DiDi. I cross off the days on my calendar excited as each mark brings me closer to those I love so much. My goal this year is to save money and create a flying fund and plan to come visit all those I love often so I can hug them all. My Mom and daughter, my bellydance family, my bitch rich, my aguador, my bff and Car-L, My Jay, My roxie doug and badger with little minions, my tally and mya, my ivy, my dave, all those of you who touch my life and make me smile.

Scienctacular

Yesterday, thanks to one Mr. Ryan, we went to the Science Center. Mr. Ryan got us a annual membership for our whole family. It was so much fun there was so much to do and see. The bigger then life Rubiks cube was overwhelming and the Naked Mole Rat exhibit was to neat. I saw the Laser show that did thriller with a dancing row of skeletons doing the thriller dance which was pretty epic. There was a fun house mirror that made me the cutest little person ever and the wonder or all wonders the giant chair. The giant chair was fantastic I practically ran to get into it. I was channeling Lily Tomlin I think and immediately sent my mom a pic on my phone. She responded with "Honey, somebody shrunk my kid" which had me laughing for a good long time. They even had a butterfly atrium and before you could leave it you had to spin in a mirror to make sure there were no ninja butterflies plotting to escape....I can't wait to go again and again and again.

Victorian doodles

These images were sent to me by a friend. She found them somewhere on this huge internet and I love them. I wish I knew the artist.

When I see them I fall in love with the shades of grey and the little details. The rosy cheeks add that hint of impishness that suck me in. All their eyes looking off to the side like someone is waiting there just out of my eyeline. They each have a story I think.

Lily the tophatted socialite who pushes at convention and rides her horse astride.

Rosalyn at the top defiant and her hair always slightly askew. She loves to read and spends hours in the dark corners of her fathers library while the housemaid searches for her in vain.

May, the sweet soft spoken thing with her dress all covered in bows. Only her nanny knows of the hidden pockets she has sewn in to carry little jars to catch bugs and samples from her daily walks.

Like I said there is such vibrant personalities in these darling drawings that I felt the need to share them.

this is me.

So every time I see one of these Vardos it makes me want to live in one. I imagine I am traveling around the world in this colorful conveyance full of color and character. I am meeting many people and am surrounded by all my belongings showing me all the paths of my life. The little prizes and trinkets all given with love to me.

I have always lived in one place never straying far from my comfort zone and yet in my dreams in this gypsy wagon I am free to explore and still feel safe. I can wear what I want every moment of every day. I can sketch and sing and dance when I hear drums. I can eat when I am hungry and sleep when I am tired. For once I am living instead of getting by.

I have had this dream more in the last year then ever before.

In steps Ethan.

A year ago I meet a man, he is lost and feels like he does not know himself. He has been married and then divorced and has somehow lost his identity. With him I find myself and he begins to smile again. He starts to laugh and feel. As he comes alive again he infuses me with new life. I feel really loved and in his eyes I am beautiful he loves me and encourages me to be myself. I have made some major changes in my life since I have decided to marry Ethan. I have moved far from where I have always lived. I have been encouraged to be creative and follow my dreams....so perhaps Ethan is my Vardo and I his Gypsy Queen
