Some Cupcake by Rainskin

I was born in the hour of Taurus, the month of Taurus  and I'm born in the Asian New Year of the Bull.  (SNICKER)  I'm slow to anger but run away if you make me mad... :D   

My daughter is also born on my birthday which is nice because--after my 29th birthday-- I was pretty bummed out by the years .  I know it's a shame, but it's just the way it was.  But when my daughter was born on my birthday, it gave me a reason to go back to celebrating, and that has been great... YAY!

THE BUNNY MAN

Sadness by maska13 Three Little Bunnies by KLR620 Violet in Dress by kittykatrocks12

Wow, another holiday!  My daughter is waiting for the Easter Bunny now and he never fails to please.  

I like the magic holidays the best, I think.

Just got back from San Francisco which was a delightful time.  Saw Alcatraz and Bhutan Art and the weather was sunny and lovely!  Best of all, I had lovely company!

Hope all is well with you!  I am feeling super good again inspite of my lousy schedule at work.  Looks like I will go back to SF at the end of March for Memorial Day in 6 weeks to see my good friend.  And I think I will begin counting the weeks until the end of the school year! :D

Cool Green by Rainskin Truimph by Rainskin A Little Green by Rainskin Iris Meadow by Rainskin Still Life With Zwerg by Rainskin

We're expecting a visit from a wee green man storing his/her pot of gold in OUR HOUSe (yes, you read me correctly) -- nine year olds have needs, and mine is no different!

So I better get busy attracting an excellent, greedy leprechan who likes chocolate and is paranoid enough to leave himself clues to remember how to get back to his pot of gold ( and "hopefully chocolate" repeats Cordelia)--

I've only got 4 days! Yikes!

Have a lovely St. Patties day!

Doily Love by Rainskin Final Derivation by Rainskin
Kiss Me by Rainskin

Last year at this time, I was a very sad puppy. I had just broken things off with a guy who had seemed to have a lot of potential ~~but right before Valentine's he really broke my heart. I ended up making endless black Valentine cards with band-aids on them, bites taken out of them, ripped paper ones, one covered in skulls etc... all chronicled in the depths my gallery.
That really did the healing trick. I usually make some kinda art when I am hurting, and it helps me work through it. Often it's poetry that does the trick.
Diametrically, this years Valentine's was VERY LOVELY. I decided to create a perfect 'event' myself instead of classically leaving it up to my amor. (I did this for New Year's Eve, also, and it worked beautifully too.) For New Year's I found this trendy list of restaurants in my area that were perfect for NYE to pick from which apparently put me on a permanent list of groovy spots for holidays and online reservations! Weeeeeeeeee! How easy!

At New Years, I picked this wild Korean Bar-b-que that had dancing in the front late at night, had a DJ blasting tune for a surreal hip ambience and the interior was very cool and futuristic. Best of all we had never been to this type of dining before, so we were like little kids at Christmas as the wait staff brought out more and more tiny bowls of bright ingredients which we had to ask about. hehehe

Now for Valentines, I picked this dinning place~~ very RED, tres hip and very HOLLYWOOD called the Geisha HOUSE, with a 4 story fire place! We ordered a large gold plate of tiny tastes of everything on the menu: sushi, spicy pork loins, crab legs, tempura lobster, red velvet cake...

What was different this time from New Years Eve, was I decided to add a play after diner. So, I hunted around via Goldstar (why do all your research alone when there is so much help on the web!) I settled on a Rock Opera getting Rave review called (LOL) Linda Lovelace, the Rock Opera. It was NOT what I expected. I thought it would be this sexy, breezy thing but instead it was very heavy and intense. But I liked it better this way. L. Lovelace lived a very horrible life of bondage to a abusive husband after a childhood of a abusive mother. The play was very intense and the music was excellent. It was very informing about this seedy underground, and I really loved the actress who played the main role. Evidently, Lovelace broke away from her 1st husband after "Deep Throat" which she performed often at gun point, and she never saw a penny from. But, she wrote her story, and cleared up any mysteries about her role in the movie. She died young but after she married again, a good man and finally got to have a daughter. (She had conceived a child earlier that her mother had ripped away from her for adoption without giving her any choice, or consent.)

Yes, it was a very "heavy," intense play but Lovelace was portrayed as someone who could never be brought down for long, and in the end she is still not broken but happy and she gives the audience members that happiness!

So, all in all, I was very pleased with my choices for my Valentine's Eve. So was my date!
