My first project with “Art Resin”–which I requested for a Christmas present. Coating this little round flower painting that Fleeta gave me. There were a few bubbles–I ordered a cheapie creme brulee torch today that should resolve that issue.

The Google Arts and Culture app has decided that this is the work of art that looks the most like one of my selfies. Hmmmmm.

Kind of obsessed with these handpainted floral nails. I could do that, right? Seems simple enough.

How many shots of dog butts at the park have I amassed over the years? 5543587?

Here’s Joshy’s latest tattoo, courtesy of Owen. We both thought it turned out real nice.

Baby and I only lasted about an hour at the tattoo parlor. Too many breakable art objects at floor-level…not to mention Owen’s cranky elder dogs that were NOT stoked to have a baby try to grab them.

Now that laser tattoo removal is a thing I may just have my crappy old tattoo removed and then pretend to be a VIRGIN again.

I bought the baby this first words book specifically because I love the bright colors of the objects against black…but I think I might like it more than he does. For now.

Looking for just the right blue velvet dress for Hanukkah? The Goodwill in Lynnwood has what ya need! I also found a great little stretchy sun dress from Patagonia for Maui, but 19.99?? I think that may be the most expensive item I’ve ever bought at Goodwill.

Paintings in progress. I’m nearly done with the teal love VW painting.

Love the colors in this picture of Marilyn.

This is an older picture of Maggie dog that randomly showed up in my “favorites” collection. Neither Josh nor I recall that stuffed animal. Clearly it didn’t last long!

Here’s Baby Goo doing calisthenics on a dog bed. He’s playing downstairs with Josh while I type out this blather. Josh has been sick all week and was finally TOLD to stay home today by one of his co-workers. It’s a Christmas miracle that the baby and I haven’t caught it yet.

This is not my photo but isn’t it nice? I hope we see sea turtles in Maui this year.

I cracked when I saw that the faux fur was 40% off and bought this aqua minkie I’d had my eyes on for ages. I also found this adorable whale flannel to go on the other side for a cute baby blanket.

Here’s me at the gym, water in hand, celebrating my TEN YEARS OF SOBRIETY FROM BOOZE WOO HOOOOOO! Ten years of not drinking. Ten years of turning down drinks, at Burning Man, at art shows, at house parties. Ten years of water and coffee! It works if you work it, babies.

I have always liked this Cecil Beaton cover of “Vogue”.

Hey, does it smell like dog breath around here or what?

Just sittin’ on the dock of a bay, wasting tiiiiiiiiime…

My nails today, because I was in the mood for purple glitter shellac and by GUM, that’s what I got. Catch yer later.
