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:
