Well, our Valentine’s Day plans fell through and Mr. Martini and I did not get our romantic kid-free night, afterall. As a matter of fact, it was a bad weekend. My landlord says I have to get rid of Tokyo* within ten days.
I had stuff for cupcakes, though, and Valentine’s decorations up, so I tried to make the best of it. I pulled the punch bowl out of the closet, filled up some goody bags and had a little get-together for my son, his crew, and Mr. Martini’s kiddos.
The teenagers:
Kyle is on the far left.
Sarah took this pic of me, Mr. Martini and Tokyo:
Cupcakes and punch:
I’ve been spending some bitter-sweet time with Tokyo, redecorating the living room and working on a self portrait while he sits by my side, as always.
Almost finished, need to do some touching up and more embellishing:

Close up:

*So my lease says no pets. At the time I signed it, Tokyo was living at Mr. Martini’s  house. But he moved recently and he could not find an apartment in the area he was looking in that would allow pets, so Tokyo has been staying with me. My landlord discovered him and put a note on my door that says I will be evicted if Tokyo is not gone within ten days.

Today’s Cupcake of the Day is one that aptly expresses how I feel right now:

In art journal, cupcake of the day, daily life, mr. martini, photography on February 11, 2010 at 9:47 am

I woke up this morning feeling achy and feverish. Slept half the day away. They are taking good care of me over here at the Martini Lounge, though. Mr. Martini brought me juice and Ny-Quil and the boy helped do my laundry. They are sweeties!

Today’s entry in the file folder journal:

“I had another dream about cowboy boots. I was wearing a well-worn black pair that fit me perfectly. I was so happy.”

Art Journal Workshop is a new collaborative art journal blog. Some of my ‘Things I love’ journal pages are posted there. Go check out what other people are doing with their journals.

I C U!

I hate this weak feeling more than anything else about the  flu. Everything feels like a great effort. So I’ve been taking photos of my left hand. This is my favorite.

It’s Ny-Quil time. Before I go, though…

Today’s cupcake of the day is this Sweet Caramel Creme:

Yum!

True Blue, Baby I Love You

In art journal, bellydancing, cupcake of the day, valentine's day on February 10, 2010 at 6:54 am

Good day. Had a very leisurely morning with Mr. Martini, drinking coffee and working on the new art journal.(Page in progress)

I’ve been gravitating toward the color blue for the last two days. I think it is some sort of rebellion against my burning love for pink and red lately.

For that reason, today’s Cupcake of the Day is this little baby blue one:

I picked up my Valentine’s Day cards from Walgreens this afternoon:

Need to get those in the mail in the morning.

I was supposed to go home today, but Mr. Martini proposed I stay another night by popping the question with a fresh Bavarian Creme filled from the Bakery around the corner.

I’ve got to quit eating everything that is delicious!

I think I am going to start going back to belly dance class once a week to get my ass moving. I’m getting way too cozy this winter. I have a date with my kiddo on Thursday, so I will probably start the next Tuesday or Thursday. I can’t wait! The classes were always a blast.

Okay, going to address envelopes now!
