Strange Invader!

Yes, it is a kitten! She wandered out from under my car Saturday. We were all set to take her to a shelter...then I left the kids alone with my DH for 2 hours Monday.

Well, you know where that went!

She doesn't have a name yet, we've had a sheet of paper up on the front door with ideas posted by the kids and I. We'll probably discuss it on our trip this weekend, it's an over-nighter to Wichita/Hutchinson, and she'll have her name Sunday night.

The blurry kitty isn't showing well, but she has the letter "M" on her head with a huge orange bindi above it...or a big orange spider with black legs? and stockings and toe shoes. She also likes burrowing in my daughter's hair while she sleeps...

Thrifty Finds

Ok, so I went looking for fringe scarves and found computers...how does that happen? They were free, even!!! Old Dell OptiPlex GX1 P2s w/6GHDs and one works! The other one says it needs a fan and RAM, indeed the RAM is missing and so is a fan...looks like it has everything else. Faster than this poor Tin Lizzy, it plays YouTube clips! Yay!!! Thank you Goddess!!! The cub's been playing Chuzzle on it and found out that if you click on a single "dude" enough times, his "fur" pops off and he's naked! Another gamer created!

Tattoo!

Mordenti-2000-4

I finally found my first tattoo! I have another, larger lower back peice in mind, but I want this for my first one! It's the scorpion in the bottom center of the page. He looks really nice on the flash at the shop, nice detail and shading and he looks like he's crawling on my skin (which is what I want in an insect!). I may have him made a little shinier with some more white highlights, I talked to an artist about it the other night. I'll have it done in May after all my shows and classes are done and I have free cash for it. That Widow looks nice, too, but she's not my Zodiac sign! This is from Irezumi, where I had my navel pierced last month.

A Blog for Drawing and Painting

New Year's Day, 2007, originally uploaded by SideShowMom.

Well, with a new art start this year, I'm making a new blog just for the drawing and painting I do so it can go in the Everyday Matters Superblog. I did this entry on the first and have almost finished re-reading Danny's book Everyday Matters as I set out to. I have also made a drawing a day so far. This is a pen case I bought the other day at Office Depot. It stands up by itself like a pen cup and zips up for my backpack with a secret pocket.

Ok, so I decided to keep my original SideShowPost Blog for the Art Stuff. This one's for all the personal stuff that I wouldn't post to the EDM Superblog...take with plenty of fluids, never on an empty stomach!
