Day 59

A sweet gift from my baby. The front looks like a cupcake.

"You're my honey bunch, sugar plum, pumpy-umpy-umpkin, you're my sweetie pie. You're my cuppycake, gum drops, snoogems, boogems, you're the apple of my eye."



Day 58

Part of my world.

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." ~Buddah

Day 57

My baby knew I wasn't feeling well today, so I came home to beautiful roses! I am one lucky lady!

"And he repents in thorns that sleeps in beds of roses." ~Francis Quarles

Day 56



We went out tonight for Saville's birthday. It was nice to get out and have fun with friends. We went to a bar called Quincy Magoos, had some great beer, nachoes, and conversation!

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are."

Day 55

My self portrait for February, taken by Ang, so my Alice In Wonderland necklace could be in the picture.

Publishing fail.

Day 53

Applied for a new job today. I'm daring to hope again....

"Hope is the dream of a soul awake." ~French Proverb



Day 52

So, most apartments give you a lease renewal incentive of monetary value. At our apartment we get nuts. Cashews actually. Oh, and a free carpet cleaning. I guess it's better than nothing, right?

"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."

Day 51

Went to the cemetery with my girlfriend today and took some pictures. It's one of the many things we enjoy doing together. The angels are our favorites.

"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another." ~Lucretius

Day 50



Some days I want to be a dog.

"Dogs are really people with short legs in fur coats."

Poor little guy. And I thought I had a bad day! LOL

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." ~Dolly Parton

Day 48

Angie found this on our walk today and we thought it was hilarious.

"A humorist is a person who feels bad, but who feels good about it." ~Don Herold

Day 47

Getting into drawing again. It feels good to create.

"It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life." ~Julius Caesar



Day 46

Got some Vday goodies at work today, yum! This is the cutest candy heart I've ever seen.

"One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human." ~George Santayana

Day 45

Today I celebrated the second of many Valentines days with my lady love. I love my Angel.

"True love can blind you, but at the same time, if you let it, it can also open your eyes."

Day 44

Today we watched my little 8-year-old brother in law. I helped him write (and "publish") a book, make a robot dog human alien Valentine box, fill out his Valentines for his classmates, and then he voluntarily vaccuumed our house. Aren't little brothers great? ;)

"A little brother is a friend given by nature."

Day 43

The other day my baby left me a sweet note since she didn't think I'd make it home in time from opera practice before she left for work. I didn't get to blog about it that day because I already had another blog, but I still have the note and wanted to share it.

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." ~Robert Brault



Day 42

Mmmm, an edible Valentine from my baby. Pizza!

"Food has replaced sex in my life, now I can't even get into my own pants." 

Day 41

We had a moment of silence to remember Valerie Davis at opera rehearsal today. Bless her and her family and friends.

"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?" ~Chuck Palahniuk

Day 40

Glad to have Bianca back home. This picture was not intended to look like this, but I liked the oddness of it.

"Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead." ~Mac McCleary

Day 39

Little Star all bundled up to brave the cold winter's night. We caught her with her hood over her eyes, how cute is that?

"Dogs are better than humans because they know but do not tell." ~Emily Dickinson

 

Day 38

Got to see my costume list for the opera today. Getting excited!

"Costumes are the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth-it really does establish who they are." ~Colleen Atwood

Day 37

A sweet message of love from my baby.

"Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river." ~Malagasy Proverb

Day 36

Went out on a nice dinner date with my baby tonight. A late celebration of our 2 year anni.

"The bagel, an unsweetened doughnut with rigor mortis." ~Beatrice & Ira Freeman

Day 35

My 2 year anniversary with my wonderful girlfriend, now my fiancee. It's our first year engaged, and I couldn't be happier!

"Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours." ~Ludwig Van Beethoven

Day 34

Hopefully the ice is melting???

"Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them." ~Paul Morand

Day 33

Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring, hooray!

Happy Groundhog day!

Day 32

Harley & Star, my little snowbabies!

"Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow." ~Jeff Valdez
