Happy Birthday to me

My 39th birthday was so fun, I think I’ll repeat it next year. We did, however work ourselves to death on kayaks and I was in so much pain last night I literally could not eat my birthday cake. I waited until this morning and had some for breakfast instead.

  • Electric blanket – thank you, thank you, thank you
  • New computer monitor
  • Seasons 1 and 2 of the Monkees on DVD

  • Pizza at Apizza Scholls

  • Started my 365 apples project
  • Started photographing the sky every day

My general consensus of the year. Not enough art shows, too much time sitting in front of the computer. We love Portland and I’m so glad we moved here. Dogs take a lot of work but ours is ridiculously cute. I love my husband to pieces and I’m so glad we’re married.

why you making me exercise?

For my 39th year I’d like to spend more time making art and writing about art, get better at gardening, get rid of excess crap in the house, loose some weight, get into more art shows, work on my MFA portfolio, submit portfolios to galleries, visit Seattle more, go to Chicago. Take more weekend trips. Go camping more, go see more live bands.
