Dear (Insert Name Here)

Dear Joaquin Phoenix (my movie bubs)

this is really hard for me, you see...how do I say this...

you and I mister, we're over. Yes, it's true I can't go on leading this double life, you see my real life bubs is an amazing man. Today in fact is his birthday and on this I cannot have my heart torn in two.

I have to face reality, though you and I share something intense and almost other worldly, my real life bubs and I share those things too.

Movie bubs, real life bubs, movie bubs, real life bubs...

you see, it's not healthy.

I know you will be fine, after a while. You will get over me, you will have too. Luckily you have a movie coming out so you will have lots of things to distract you, also you have AA meetings to go to, those will be a good distraction for you.

Please don;t go back to drugs and the joy juice, losing me will be a devastating loss, but I think it will not only make you stronger as a person, but as an actor. Maybe next time....you'll win the Oscar too, not just the Golden Globe.

I will always look back on what we had with much fondness.

love
Jennifer Gordon

(now, off to celebrate my real life bubs' birthday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH, LOVE YOU!!)

Monday Monday

(blah, blah...blah, blah, blah, blah)

Just so you know, in my head I am singing the blah, blahs to the tune of the "Monday, Monday" song.

how are you all??

Me, well I am not thrilled that the weekend is over, yesterday was strangely relaxing, I did not "work" which is rare for me....seeing as I work from home it is very easy to just stress at times, but no....none of that, just hung out with my bubs, did a little reading went for a little walk...hell, we even watched a scary movie (it was Ghost Ship...predictable...yes, but it involved ghosts and ships so it was pretty good).

So today...today is a wonderful day in this world. You see one of my most favorite people on the planet is having a birthday, it's my friend Cat, otherwise known as Artsy...so make sure to all wish her a very special day, she deserves it!!!

Happy birthday Cat. Love you!!!!

Speaking of birthdays, this is a bog week for me it starts with Cats birthday and then moves onto someones bubs' birthday....oh yeah that would be my bubs birthday, that's on Wednesday, and then the week wraps up with my bff from back home Aaron whose birthday is on Friday...

so, big week here in the world of Stilettoville.

So did you all read Petite Heights yesterday?? How about my interview over at The Indie Path??

well if not....what are you waiting for??

ok,have to dash off early today, I have some top secret bubs birthday related things to make and presents that I have been hoarding for ever to wrap...my days have to be extra productive because my nights are filled with BASEBALL!!!

(well tonight is filled with Dancing with the Stars, Heroes, AND baseball....)

for now enjoy my latest framed art card set, it is called "The Italian Widow", the theme and the women seemed very operatic to me.

enjoy.

Things that happened yesterday in list form

• woke up and had cake (yes, I know you all know this), noticed my bubs had gotten me a new/old Nancy Drew mystery about a stage coach
• did the whole bloggy computer thing, while consuming the "nectar of the gods", by nectar of the gods I mean...Frappio, at the moment it rules my whole existence
• sat on my porch for a few minutes where I saw a sleek white, beautiful little creature, at first I thought it was a bunny, but no....it was an albino squirrel, I hope I see it again today
• painted things and packaged things
• cried when I read the outpouring of birthday wishes on my blog
• cried when I read my friend Aaron's blog and his lil' birthday tribute
• watched a HUGE scary ass lighting storm, part of the sky was green, the other part was black.
• got a special delivery of a dozen roses sent to me from my friend (and self proclaimed "biggest fan" Diana
• ate more cake, after eating pizza and french fries (it's my birthday damn it, calories don;t count on your birthday
• talked to my mom on the phone, who though did not send me a birthday gift swears she is putting something in the mail for me....some sort of miracle dead sea salt face stuff that will help me be beautiful....she swears this to be true, the sending and the beautiful part, and like always, I believe her...

so that was my day, in a boring un birthday celebratory nutshell....now as I type this the air is cool and the skies are dark, it looks like night but it is 8:00am, and I want to go back to sleep, but the Frappio has my heart and head going, so instead of sleep, I type, and then I will paint and I will not emerge from my studio until I am done.

you see I'm swimming with ideas, my bubs gave me some bulletin boards and I have one hanging between my art tables and I am using one as my inspiration board....and you see, it's working, I am inspired and have sketched out another very large painting.

now, first I must finish the things I started yesterday, which incluse a couple small pieces and some ornaments.

Photos today are of one of the ornaments in my shop as well as a new small collage, oh and I did post the large 18x24 piece as well....

one last thing before I go.....I promised you faithful ones that I had something special up my sleeve for this weeks celeb letters, I am giving you all a heads up as this letter will be themed.

you see (sorry boys) Michelle sent me a wonderful link a while back to find out who your "Celebrity Boob Twin" is.....well, here's the challenge, find your boob twin and write to her.

Boy readers, you can make one up or just revel in the boob inspiration, your choice.

xoxoxo

we all have our rituals....

good morning loves...

ok without further adieu or fanfare....I have to get something out in the open.

Today....is my birthday, I know many of you were confused as it appears that my bubs and I were celebrating last week.

You see once a girl reaches a certain age (we'll just call this the third anniversary of my 29th birthday) the birthday celebrations tend to come with a whole lot of me saying "Do I look old", "Should I dye my hair", "Am I as pretty now as I was when I was 16"

So, bubs and I usually celebrate and unbirthday of sorts, where I get presents, then I get a present a day leading up to the actual date...they are small presents but presents nonetheless....the celebratory week ends with the giving of the birthday card....then, we're done.

Even when I was little I celebrated my birthday for a week (pleasure of being an only child) My father would take vacation that week every year and we would go on little day trips, to Canobie Lake Park, Benson's Animal Farm (yes....of Petite Heights Fame), The beach, and my most favorite thing ever, we would take a bpat out to the Isles of Shoales of the coast of NH.

(some of you may know the Shoales from living there, others because they were made famous in the mediocre movie "The Weight of Water", which was based on the AMAZING book by Anita Shreve.

This year we were low key, as we are STILL unpacking and adjusting, also the new house has come with a ton more expenses, so we have been laying low.

I did wake up and eat a piece of cake and some ice cream for breakfast...I know, I'm a big fattie, but let's face facts, a girl does not celebrate the 3rd anniversary of her 29th birthday every day now, right???

so with that I will bid you adieu.


Oh and in honor of my birthday any order today will get a bonus gift!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Photos today are of my (already messy) work table with a large piece I have been working on for days and days...It may make its appearance in my shop later today!!
