Nov 29/07/ But I believe in spring…

Four Seasons - Spring

A new print available on my Etsy site. I plan on doing one for each season - Fall is going to be next. Partially inspired by the Mucha series, I wanted to try my hand at working in a more painterly style, and also, it makes me happy to think of burlesque babes as the seasonal symbols. Burlesque all year round!

I has a lollipop, and I am not afraid to use it.

Started a new job today, part-time at a rehab center (in preparation for my upcoming Masters degree). It is fairly intense. Lots of people right out of jail, doing 30 days as inpatients before heading out into the world. Hilariously, it is right next door to MK12, so I can wave at John from my window.

Most awesome thing seen today? A Jaguar, with gold flake paint and tortoise shell trim, giant gold rims and white - WHITE! - Louis Vuitton leather interiors. Dropping off Wendy’s for his baby mama in rehab. Ohhh yeah.

Second most awesome thing? This:

Wow, do I have a LOT to tell you, my internets friends! No time, no time at all, but here is the quick run-down:

I am moving to Las Vegas.
I am getting married to Serpico
I am applying to grad school.
I have been sober now for THREE YEARS.

Right now, at this moment, I am happier than I ever imagined possible.
Yay, life!

Doubtful
No one can ever be certain, when biting into a fried oreo.
Sep 23/07/ “I was never good enough to unlock Jenny Lewis”

Jebus, what a… what is it, when it’s 2 weeks? A fortnight? Well, if it is, I have had a crazy fortnight. Whirlwind days and nights, kids.
First - I went to Vegas. I stayed in a mildly fancy hotel, took bubble baths and ate fried oreos and twinkies. Thumbs up on the oreo, thumbs down on the twinkie. Also, thumbs up on the boy. Way to make a weekend, Getchell.
Got back and rocked the Dr. Sketchy’s - our most packed house ever, and by the end of the night I was seriously plotting how to steal Rita’s AMAZING costumes:
Rita and fans 2
Seriously people - I could ROCK this outfit. Ok, maybe not at the grocery store, but still - RAWK!
So, this past week saw me in the hospital TWICE - once for a UTI, the other because I got rammed in my car by a crazy old lady going 45mph. I have no idea how bad off my poor car Lala is, but I do know that according to the hospital people, I do not have a broken neck - just a sprained shoulder. But now my lower back is hurting, so… man I hope crazy old speedy lady has insurance.
Two days on my back, drugged out of my mind on the DeFraction’s couch. Not so terrible, except I felt in the way, with all the family coming and going. But Kelly Sue got me back, because she dosed me! NO FAIR SLIPPING ME DRUGS!
So between the actual vacation and the enforced vacation, I am now feeling guilty about work time lost on CARRIER, and fretting about bills and what-have-you. Back to work. Always with the work. Yet, rarely with the money…

Good weekend, y’all!

Sep 09/07/ Ooooh, baby why you wait so long?

Welcome to the world, Henry Leo DeFraction.
Little man was born tonight at 10pm - 7lb, 11oz, and a FOURTEEN INCH HEAD! Mama and baby are doing great, and are very tired after 17 hours of labor. Dude, It was CRAZY. Kelly Sue is BAD ASS. Seriously. She is my hero.

I am very tired, even tho I did not give birth - I just sat there and fetched ice chips and coffee and sandwiches. Oh, and I took pictures, but nothing I can share yet. But soon. He is so beautiful. And BLONDE!
