Happy Thusrday


ooh, good morning, as I type this I am snacking on pop tarts and drinking a now cold cup of coffee, but alas...too lazy to go and warm it up.

thanks everyone for reading my letter yesterday...and honestly, if someone finds Paris Hilton address for me and puts in in my comments, I will send that letter to her.

ok in other news...On Tuesday my bubs and I went to the Columbus Museum of Art, on a day date...it was nice, though the featured exhibit was really not my thing (Op Art of the 1960's) it was still a nice excursion.

My darling bubs had never been to an art museum before, he kept asking if there would be a "flume ride" as he loves those, and I just kept saying "yes baby I think it's in the next room"

I was going to take a ton of pictures, but with no flash and how dark they keep the rooms...they would all have just tuned out yucky...so I lieu of that, I decided instead to just take photos in the sculpture garden....

The first photo (at the top of the post) is of course a little SP of me and the bubs, a little kissy face ...we never have anyone to take photos of us, so all of our pictures are me taking them

Oh No....This Giant Bunny Is Coming For Us...Run...RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I assure you that though it looks like my bubs is going to fight the Pope, he tells me that was not what was happening, they were in fact playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors"...I think it was my bad photo angle that makes it look all the more menacing. I was inspired by the Op art Exhibit to change up the angle.
this one should be called...."Jenn Rips Off Monet", as some of you may know I have a "thing" for fountains, I love them, and it really takes ALL my willpower to not get in them. In fact there was a time when I had to be "removed" from the Fountain at Rockefeller Center. I am like a small child when I see them, all of a sudden I almost black out, and then....I'm in the fountain. The look of the water in this fountain is what kept me away.

also if you ever go into the fountain at Rockefeller Center, be warned...it is deeper than you think it is.


This photo is what I bought in the gift shop....this was of course after walking around with a fashion book for $70, a costume history book for $200, and another fashion book for $50...then I looked in my wallet and (huge melodramatic sigh) decided instead to get this little darling of a ring, for a mere $4 plus tax...sure it was in the kids section, but come on, it is too cool.

I feel like J.Lo or that poor wife of Kobe Bryant walking around with this ridiculous bling on my hand.


so, as a lot of you know, there has been a lot of blog tagging going around as of late, kind of like a case of mono in group of slutty friends...I love it, but alas I know it puts a lot of pressure on people, so I will not tag back.

this is a little tag called "4 things" which Karen Beth posted in her blog, very unofficially tagging people, but then later officially tagged me when I said it was cool.

So, here it is, feel free to play along as you wish, or not.

Top Five


ok, this is not a tag or anything just an idea I stole from Jody who stole it from Alex, and since they are both cooler than me, I figured...hell, I've got nothing to blog about today, I'm going to steal that.

so.....here is my list of the top five things I love today

1 - as I type this I hear my bubs in the next room (who has the day off) playing his guitar and singing while working on a new song...there is nothing better on the world than that. He is an incredible talent though he says he's not...no matter how much I tell him he doesn't believe me.

2- having a day off in the middle of the week with my bubs when we plan a field trip to the museum, can you believe I have been here 3 years and have never gone??? Bubs is not overly thrilled with the idea but he did want to hang out with me...I am so excited, less because of the museum but more for the gift shop...you see I have an obsessive love for overpriced museum gift shops.

3- I am really enjoying my attempts at drawing, I'm still the farthest thing from a natural as you would tell from the giant pile of pages torn from my sketch book, but I am trying and I am proud of myself for trying. The photo I showed today is the larger drawing of "Proserpine" that is available in my shop.

4- I am currently totally addicted to watching Justice League Unlimited on dvd. The funny thing is this "kids" show is actually one of the best things that is comic related to come out in the past 10 years (besides spidey 1 and 2). You all know I am dorked up with the comics, but even if you're not, get this cartoon on dvd!!!

5- I slept until 8:35am this morning....and that my darlings was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

************************

ok that's it for top fives....I will be back tomorrow with a letter to a celebrity, I am torn a few ways right now.....Between Paris Hilton, Brad and Angelina, or Jesus...

we shall see.
