Thanks, StrongOne for the embed....I'm passing it on, too.
(My first youtube post. Neat.)
People who can vote and don't can leave my country and move to Zimbabwe, where they won't be inconvenienced.
Period.

Ridiculously happy.
I am alive and better than well. Not blogging much these days because I'm ludicrously happy and out enjoying life, the universe and everything.
The party was a lot of fun...thirty people over eight hours total. Fun. Still have a LOT of alcohol left over, mostly because so many people were nice and brought some to share.
Some pictures from the hike Wednesday with my man, A and her man:
Yup. This is the state I live in. Here's me, and that guy who's been greatly contributing to the recent fabulousness of my world these days:
A better picture of us:
This is where we were. Looks like a postcard, doesn't it?
A good one of A & her man:
We got some other random hikers to get all four of us:
Gratuitous sepia tone of the falls:
It was a fantastic day.
And this was from a week or two before that, me and the girls went to see Sex in the City, had dinner out first:

You are the Dancin Queen.....!
I haven't posted of late mostly because there is so much goin on in my neck of the words. And it's ....all good. Little selfish about sharin' just yet. Imagine that.
Highlights:
I'm having a party. If you're in in my state June 19, shoot me email for details. Yes, that's a Thursday. Thursdays are extravagantly good days for parties. Nobody cool throws a party on a freakin Saturday anymore, what's the matter with you?
I'm expecting anywhere between five and seventy people over a period likely to last eight to twelve hours. No, I don't have that kind of space in my place...we'll just hafta get cozy. I don't know what I will be feeding everyone. Haven't acquired the alcohol yet. (No, those five bottles of vodka in my freezer are not for the party, thank you very much.) And I'm inviting my neighbors so they don't call the cops. Based on the handful of Yes, I'm Definitely Coming people, it might be a hootenanny, so some early goodwill is probably a good idea. What the hell am I gonna do about music?
Work is better now that I've told some people with important titles to go pound sand. I'm getting some crap assignments now, but I figure that'll pass in a few weeks. People with important titles will find someone else to bother. In addition, I've taken a micro step to broadening some horizons there. Further steps to be taken when I'm done spending every moment of my day focused on the new Mr. Man and freaking out about having a party.
I fit into my short shorts for the first nice day to wear them for summer. Yay for me. To 138 lbs yesterday. Had a big lunch today, call it 139. Bought a new swimming suit to celebrate (also because I hate the one I got in Maui two years ago). Katie did the back of my hair in red, permanent. Top still blonde. I guess it's summer.
Adisa and I went to see Mamma Mia the other night, drank many many Severed Goat's Heads (okay, well she had a Teddy Bear's Orgy and something else and somethin after that) and Dancin' Queen'ed around downtown at two a.m. last Wednesday. See? And you thought Friday and Saturday were the nights to go downtown. You were wrong. (I have a picture on my phone, but I can't get it off the phone and onto the computer. Sorry.)
Been hiking twice a week. It's absolutely gorgeous here. Smell of clean fresh air, at 0500. (What else to do when you're awake all night long?)
No, I haven't painted in two weeks.
Been hangin with this guy instead. That's the bit I'm not up for share time yet. The funny thing about blogging is that sometimes I really do want to write my knucklebones off and not ....slap it on the internet for the ...two or three people paying attention to my little petri dish-sized world here.
Going up to a cabin on his ranch tomorrow. Ridiculously happy and scared to death about it. But I tend to be stupid that way. Or sensible? I haven't decided yet.
Been up since 03. Need a nap, get up, pack, walk around s'more in a daze.
Hoping all is well in your respective worlds.

Progress...
I was addressing background today, and it felt goooood to get that down. The red heart thing totally sucks, I know. I always have trouble with cadmiums. They just don't chemically mix well with the pthalos and alizarins....just muddy. If there was a hansa red, that'd be perfect. There isn't. So, the red sucks, and I know it and will be attending to it. But I really had to deal with all that whitespace. So I attacked it with great gusto today.
This is going to get emphasized with some payne's grey, I think. And dioxazine purple (which I am currently out of, and bastards at the art store are not open at this hour.)
I'm not on the computer that allows me to flip photos. I tentatively like the chordae tendinae. Will do more with it, but I like this initial blobby stuff.
And there's this quilty thing (which is also sideways). Some test blocks for something mongo I have planned. I dig it.
I'm having some extreme sexual tension issues this week. (Haven't blogged about the lucky guy yet. Maybe later.)
My house smells blissfully like turpentine; I have smears of color all over my hands and paintshirt; got layers in the background....and I feel soooooooooooooooooo much better. (Yes, that many o's.) My heart is pthalo green with little swatches of twirling copper and dioxazine purple today, and it keeps spinning.
....I hope your world is likewise.
*************
Oh, I saw baby ART (her initials) today, a week and change old, and she is the most beautiful creature ever. She smiles in her sleep. So strange how an infant can keep you absoutely transfixed, just marvelling at little toes and fingernails and eyelashes and such. Mama looks glowy and absolutely gorgeous. (Well, she's always been gorgeous, but now she's beautifully glowy, too.) Daddy is positively beaming like he swallows the sun and it's shootin out of his fingertips. Parenthood suits the both of them. It's the coolest thing ever. I'm so happy for them.
....So I came home to create, too.
