I got my book and CD from Mark Ryden's "Blood" show. Whoa!!!! How to put into words what the paintings and music are like? Imagine a silent space where all you see are heavy red curtains covering the walls head to toe. You imagine the material smelling like a heady perfume that enters your lungs and finds solace within your air sacs never to be ( Read more... )

Friday was our last day of school. Will have to go back to teach summer school but that's okay. If I am kept busy and distracted then I don't have time to focus too much on my troubles. I went to my doctor on Friday. He diagnosed me with a mild case of depression along with generalized anxiety disorder. He prescribed some pills for me to take ( Read more... )

I am still sad, but I believe things happen for a reason. This is actually a minor break-up compared to the utter hell I went through when I divorced my husband three years ago.

I've decided that I've had enough of sitting around this state of Texas which qualifies as is its own country. I am in the mood for an adventure that will take me through the back roads of America. 50 United States and I only know four of them. 3 million people in this city and I know about 20 of them. For every person I know they know 20 ( Read more... )

The past year has been a whirlwind. Has it been a year already since we met? Amazing. You've come back into my dreams since we've been talking again. What incredible dreams they have been. I'll see you there tonight. I have your gift under my bed waiting for the day I get my house and then I will put them up. Will you come to help me? Will ( Read more... )

Yesterday I ordered the book that this delightful painting comes from. I can't wait for it to get here. Like a kid at Christmas that can't wait to open her presents. I also found out that there is a cd that accompanies this beautiful little "blood" book. However, my computer at home is slower than oatmeal poured through a straw so I can't hear ( Read more... )
