Over a week ago was the Launch Party for 'Stark Arthology' a book that contains 69 chosen area artists and my baby was picked! It was a beautiful event at the Canton Art Museum with free booze and dessert!
I Even bought this super fun necklace on Etsy from MEEPSIES!
Erin Mulligan, An artist in the book and a good friend of ours, Signed my boob since i wasnt in the book. (All the artists were asked to autograph their page in the book so they were busy with sharpies all night... i was put on the same level as the book with this maneuver lol)
Here is a look at Erin's ART, we love her so much!
Megan Mars was actually the one to start my boob signing that evening. Not only is Megan one of the best Artists around (She drew my Mermaid Tattoo that I have) But she is the sweetest gal who listens well and gives great advice.
Here is a link to MEGANS ART
Gathering of Happy Launch Party Guests getting their books signed!
The girls at the after party! Lovely Ladies, Talented, and wonderful!
Super awesome group of amazing people I am so blessed to know! On the far back left is Steve Ehret, his work is one of the few we have actually purchased, and some of you might remember that he painted the whole inside of my garage with all his cool charactors.
His art work is seen HERE
This table is full of artists like
Tiffany Marsh
Joseph Close
Patrick Buckohr (We are commissioning him to make Giant Giraffes for our front yard!)
David McDowell
The next day was our old roomie Scot's solo art show. He pretty much spent the evening drinking FOUR fourloco's (Yes the caffinated alcohol drink that is being taken off the shelves b/c of blacking out and hospitilizations) And for some reason that night i was EXHAUSTED, so i just tossed on a hat and chilled at the gallery til we went to the bar! It was over all a good night though!
Sunday the 21st I tossed three cans of refried beans in a dish and called it dinner. Your Welcome.
Just kidding, I made an awesome layered dish: refried beans, cream cheese, mexican seasoned beef, and cheese. Warmed that through, And made another dish of: Sour Cream, Guac, chopped Black Olives/Onions/Green Peppers? Green Chilis, and lots of lettuce and tomato! Open a bag of Margarita Lime chips and WHALAH! DINNER FOR DAYS! Its our favorite way to eat.
Tuesday was Dinner at my parents house with some out of town family. Wednesday we went shopping with some coupons at World Market! Woot!
oh and Happy news, I paid off my car! Well i thought i did, then i saw that i didnt quite overpay enough to cover the interest so i still owed... .03 cents! haha! I sent a check for TWO DOLLARS just to be sure! Send me THAT TITLE! It will feel SO GOOD to put all that money into savings. I have so many things on my to-buy list for next year! We currently are only in debt to our mortgage. Pretty awesome!
Thanksgiving morning we have a nice little routine of drinking our coffee and watching the parade... we slept in so we were able to fast forward through MOST OF THE STUPID PARADE. I like the High School Bands and Floats, but sure get tired of all the dance troups and singers ... what was with the Princess float with the Singer talking about boys wanting to look at her butt? Seems a little inappropriate for the age of girls they were aiming at.
After the disappointing parade we got ready and headed to my Grandparents house! I Swear my mom made and brought the BEST Stuffing i EVER ate. I don't know what she did to it, but it was SO GOOD!
Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Berenice in the kitchen!
One, is the loneliest number...
Ahhhh we love our Nephew!
My sister Captivating our younger cousins attention. I think they were asking about her Dermal Anchor... lol
Afterward we headed to Bili's sisters house for another thanksgiving. Home of the infamous Cajun injected turkey. So moist, so flavorful!
Bili and our human Nephew Allen playing around... SERIOUS FACE
ANNNNNDDDD SILLY FACE
Friday I had my normal routine of house to myself + Christmas Decor + movies and boob tube watching. As always, it was glorious.
Vega was all up in my BIZNAS
Instead of putting up my trees i just decorated my front window's like store displays. I Love it!
Its hard to see in the picture but all my front windows are lit, I have huge Christmas balls hanging on the front porch. And i wrapped my pillars with green sparkly ribbon! My house looks like a gift!
Saturday night was my ten year reunion. I skipped it for family stuff. Between thanksgiving #3 and movie night at his parents, Bili and I spent three hours outside in the cold (His parents and sister came for moral support) playing with projectors and working on his project.
Found out that the housing we built to weatherproof the projectors made them over heat. And we are better off asking our investor to invest another 6 grand into professionally made weatherproof enclosures. Boner Killer! The first arrives today, hopefully tonight the Billy's can test it, order two more and have them in place by Thursday. Then they have the weekend to do the REAL work, the animation that will be projected on the library on Dec. 9th.
I am hoping after this they get hired by bars, clubs, organizations, business owners, to video map for special occasions and parties so they can pay off the equipment and make some money! For now I hope the rest of this first project goes smoothly.
Bili and I are like E.T. and Elliot when E.T. is sick. We are so darn connected that his stressed becomes mine, and vice versa.
Here is Bili and Billy sitting outside somewhere around hour 3 with the projectors and the mac book!
This is the front of the Library with a blue screen projected on it... Even something as simple as blue screen was exciting!
A short video of the testing of the equipment:

Last night we went down to the Gallery to decorate the front windows. Laurie Baker made this AWESOME Paper Mache' Snowman that looks amazing:
And i put up my tree after all... just not at my house :)
Some things i don't need, but kinda want:
This GIANT GUMMY WORM looks SO tasty! Even thought it looks... um... wrong, I think it would be yummier then the GIANT BEAR.
I need this in all the doors of my house, well that might get weird... Make sure they are all aimed towards the hallway, and not into the bedrooms :) ---TOTALLY AWESOME LINK TO CRYSTAL BALL door knobs!
