Happy New Year and Bring on the DMARDS


Happy New Year! 
Sam and I spent Christmas day 
at my brother's house. 
Isn't it adorable??

  
 My brother is the Santa in overalls.
My nephew in red shirt, my dad is the guy in khakis, and my nephews in law on the right.
A great group of men! 
As you can tell Christmas is a 
HILARIOUS day full of one upping
in the humor and drinking department. 
LOL. 
My brother and his wife cook up amazing 
turkey in a loving atmosphere.
 

It is the best place to be for Christmas.

Here is Sam on Christmas at our house:
The first pic is the 
MOM. 
Are you going to take a pic 
EVERY time
I open something?  





Sam knows my humor!!

This may be next years card.
I didn't make any this year. 
You'll see why later.
And no.
It's not because 
I won the lottery
or met the man o my dreams... 
disclaimer: I actually did.
Meet the man of my dreams.
Buddha.

Sam has an obsession with Biggie Smalls.
It borders on me planning an intervention.
She also NEVER swears.
Which I find IRONIC.
Wait.
One time when she was 3
I heard her say
Shit.
She was in her room 
and was angry about something.
I heard her through the wall.
It was shocking.
Yet, hilarious.
 


 My facebook post explains it:

  I am GRATEFUL to The Universe that I have an amazing daughter who will be my legs, and an incredible podiatrist and rhuematologist who look after me.









its not all bad. 
Luckily I signed up for 
suzi blu's workshop
and printed all the pdfs.
So yea. 
I'm properly entertained.
Just not properly washed.
but that's another story
with a TMI ending.
Oh. And. This is big.
My beloved friend Teri
washed my hair for me.
and cut it all off.
YUP
I am not worrying about 
what is sexy anymore.
I'm too mature to be
hot rollering.
So that pic above of me and Sam
on Christmas is my
swan song to long locks.
I'm not posting a pic yet.
Not until I am more mobile,
washed, and moisturized.

 New Years Eve Elevation:
My sis came over with lasagna
and champagne.
My beloved godson
and his charming girl
joined us.
We watched Johnny Depp
and Angelina Jolie
Which a few minutes into, 
I realized I had seen the original
foreign film, "Anthony Zimmer". 
They are wonderful movies, both.
The Venice scenery and Jolie's wardrobe
are tre magnifi!!!
 

 So there you have it.
I wish all my 
inspirational, talented and generous
art friends
THe Happiest and Healthiest
of New Years.
Thanks for visiting.
Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing 
your amazing talent.

On the First day of Christmas my Muse gave to me: ZOMBIES

It started out so innocently.
I was simply practicing sketching.
I couldn't get the eyes right.
Par for the course for me.
So I kept erasing them.
I showed my daughter 
what I had done so far.
She said "I love it,
don't change a thing, it's done".
First I thought she was nuts.
Then I thought, yeah, I like this.
Creepy. Different. 
So many variations to be had.
My muse brought me Zombie Katie Holmes.
IMO she is a talentless Zombie.
Feel free to disprove my thinking. 
Ok, that's not very compassionate of me.
I get a bad karma pass cuz
I'm a beginner Buddhist.
Not sure how long I can milk that one.
teehee.


Xanax Zombie
Robot Zombie




Thank you so much for visiting 
and commenting.
Tell me what makes you a Zombie.
And how do you counteract it?
Besides Art of course.
