The Mist, Tabs and I had the most amazing time yesterday. We went tobogganing on our private mountain. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, we could see the lake through the trees. The snow was new and deep. My mini luge was awesome. It was so fun. A winter wonderland. I took Mist and Maddi to “The Golden Compass.” I really liked it–the best kid’s movie I’ve seen in a long while. Tabs went to a Christmas party at a friends while we attended the movie. A social butterfly. She wore her black sheer 1920’s style dress–so adorable. I need as sleigh to pull Pip up the mountain next time–she’s too little to walk all the way to our secret toboggan run. Will attend a Christmas party at the Arellano’s this afternoon with the entire family and then get our tree and decorate the house. Decided to stop editing “Sugar Shack” and move on to writing “An idiot’s guide to Sasquatch tracking” while it’s bubbling in my mind. Will continue on with the paintings as well. Decided to start a painting project I’ve been wanting to do for a long while–as soon as I’ve done my illustrations. Get ready…Butt portraits. Yes, I want to paint portraits of bottoms for a series in black and white. I believe every one’s bottoms are as unique and as recognizable as their faces. So if you’d like to be part of my series, I will eventually make it around to painting your portrait.Be brave. It should be a fun series that I will do in my own spare time. Eventually I’ll have an incredible collection to exhibit. Maybe a famous buttocks or two in there as well. Who knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
