Today, when I got home, Oliver decided he wanted to come upstairs with me. So, he ran upstairs, checked everything out and then jumped on the bed. He started being his goofy self and rolling all over the bed. Callie saw it a good time to start playing with him. So, I had my camcorder near me to record their bed wrestle. They play so well together!

Oh my goodness. Its April and I graduate in June! Its so close. Did I just say close? All year I have been saying its so far away but if I think about it, it will be here sooner than I think. So, in my school the girls wear white dresses and the men wear suits for graduation. My white dress that my mom ordered came in the mail the other day. I tried it on and my mom said I looked beautiful. That really opened up my eyes about that I will be done with school in a few months. I am excited and scared. Happy and sad. Ready and not ready. I am filled with mixed emotions about graduating.
Dont get me wrong. I want out but its gonna be a big change. Change has always scared me. Its interesting to watch my friends talk about how excited they are to graduate but then see the fear in them that they try to hide. You know. Since, its high school and you need to act cool and hide the emotions that seems like weakness. In my opinion, admitting that you are scared and unsure is healthier and will make the process easier.
My big concern is what the hell am I going to do after? Who will I be? Where do I go? I have already been searching for my life and purpose for years now. Maybe having no school will help me create the life I want or maybe I will feel like I really have no life. I do not know but I do know I have my mom and dogs to help guide me. I am so thankful for that.
So, I am going to get some sleep because I still have to attend school until I graduate. Hehe. Maybe, I will have a dream of walking in my white dress and seeing my mom in tears. Dont worry, I will make sure to get pictures of me on graduation. Me? In a dress?! Its a rare site. Something that happens only once every few years. Until then you can all wonder what I look like in a dress. Its a mystery. Hehe. Night night.
Its been a nice weekend full of art. Saturday, my mom and I went up to New York state to see my mom’s friend’s art show gallery. Some of you might recognize the project from the kickstarter project that I spread around awhile back. She got over her goal amount which is so great because now she can publish the book that has her art in it. What is her art? She creates little characters and scenes that represent definitions of words. Words that do not seem real but are. She is brilliant!
Here is a picture of my mom and Polly M. Law who is the artist. They have been friends for many years. No wonder they are friends! They are both talented artists living in the tough world. So, it was great seeing her art up on the wall. She has been through so much and can be a true inspiration for many who are struggling. Do not give up on what your passionate about. She has not and she continues to do what she loves.
Callie likes to give my big pink dog that I have a massage every once in awhile. Thats one lucky stuffed animal. I wonder if she will start giving me massages. Problem with that is she will probably want something in return. That cat always gets her way!

My last day of Spring break was a lot of fun! My mom and I went to New York City to see my second favorite musical, Hair, on Broadway. Let me tell you. It was AMAZING! The best Broadway show I have ever seen. Yes, Jesus Christ Superstar is my number one musical but Hair beat it on Broadway. How is that possible?!
The acting was amazing. Ace Young who was a contestant on American Idol a few years ago played one of the main hippies and Oh my! He was so cute and hot. Just wanted to take him home! The whole cast was wonderful. They were really into it and just grabbed you in. Brilliant. Also, it helped to be only a few rows from the stage. Saw the whole thing clearly. Lastly, the music is wonderful. Great upbeat meaningful songs. I know the words to most of them.
If you did not know by now, I am a hippie lover. I am a hippie at heart (except no drugs). If I could go back in time I would want to go back to the hippie time or the wild west time. If I lived back when Woodstock went on I would of totally went. I think that was a true concert filled with spirit and love. Make love not war. How about guys with long hair? Like it or not? I think certain guys look fabulous with long hair and certain guys look wonderful with short hair but I have always had a thing for long hair on guys. I do not know why. Its just my thing. Go hippies go!
So, before and after Hair my mom and I walked all around Time Square. It was crazy busy today. With the nice weather, broadway shows and spring break it was twice as busy than I think it usually is. Its a great city and one that you must visit at least once in your lifetime.
See, New York City is mostly cement and buildings but it has its beauty of nature in some places. I could not live in there though. Its too much hustle and bustle. I mean I do like to move but just way too much there all the time. I like my nature and animals around me. Fields of grass. Thats my place.
Why am I showing you a hot dog? It is not just any hot dog. Its a NYC hot dog! The best hot dogs ever. I cant walk around and leave without one of their yummy hot dogs. Mmm!
Pigeon! I love pigeons. Probably my favorite birds. I know a lot of people do not like them but they are my favorite thing about NYC. They are cute and pretty. I want one.
So, now my last Spring break is done with. It went fast but nice. Had a great day. Tired but awake. Nothing new there though since I am a night owl. I recommend seeing Hair on Broadway if you can. It is one that you will remember. So, hope you all had a great love filled Wednesday and do not forget to tell everyone how great they are. Peace! ☮
Here are my tattoo ideas so far that I have:
– Princess (my dog) – On my right arm. With her face and her name. She is my special girl and I want her with me forever.
– Funsize – The word on my lower back. It represents me. I am funsize and always will be.
– Peace Sign – It represents the peace that I believe in and the hippie side of me.
– Leo Sign – Thats my zodiac and I am a real Leo!
– Cowgirl on a horse – i am a cowgirl at heart and i love horses.
– Russian flag and American flag – I am russian and I am american and proud of both. I would like to get them somehow together.
– Wolf – My favorite animal and they represent spirit and freedom to me.
– A camera or lens – represent my love for photography.
– A cross – represent my love for jesus and god.
– Motorcycle – The biker chick side of me.
– Bracelet – I love the look of the tattoo bracelets people get.
REMEMBER, these are just my ideas. Not going to go get all of them. Maybe I will but slowly.
Why did I get this tattoo on my right arm? Because I love horses and wings make the horse ten times cooler. Arent the colors awesome?! They just pop right out at you. You just want to touch it!

So what do you think of my tattoo? I know there are people who do not like tattoos but I love them. They are art on the body. Just beautiful and awesome! Tattoos represent a person. They can explain a persons life experiences. I have a lot of ideas for future tattoos that I would like to get…if I can handle the pain. Tattoos here I come!
I know the ipad is the big thing lately but a few weeks ago I got my ipod touch (itouch) and I love it. Its a perfect size for a funsize girl. Plus, its a touch screen. Oh my gosh! Perfect. Literally I have a disease. A touching disease. I always seem to have to be touching something. Get your mind out of that gutter! When I go into stores I always touch everything on the shelves. Its totally bizarre! I will have to figure out the disease name…Touchiez.
Anyways, I love my itouch! I do. My funsize touch screen computer. It plays my wide variety of music, has cool games like Solitaire on it and I can check my social sites on it. What is there not to love! I am still working on adding more songs to it because it only has two hundred and my other ipod has over a thousand. Yes, I am a big music freak! So, now you met my new electronic family member. Hope you all had a nice Monday and I hope to talk to you all soon.
The sun was shining high in the sky for the rebirth of Jesus. Okay, that sounds really religious but I do not usually bring up religion. Its like politics. Just one of those subjects that will cause drama because everyone has their own view and tries to convince people to agree with them. Plus, we all know how I feel about drama. Yuck! But, I am going to explain my views a little bit.
Let me share something. I am not a real religious person. I do not go to church and I am not a person who will tell you God will save you. That does not mean I do not believe in God and Jesus. I am a believer and a proud Catholic but I am not one to hate if you are not. Dislike someone because of their religion? To me that is wrong. So what if they have different religious views. Everyone has differences and that is what makes people unique and special.
You know how most people like one person in their faith the most? Like, a lot of people will pray to one person? I am a Jesus lover. Woot. Go Jesus Go! I dont know why. Maybe its because my favorite musical is Jesus Christ Superstar. I know that whole movie. Hehe. I use to act it out. You must see it if you havent! Oh, also Ted Neeley is Jesus. My Jesus! I mean that is what Jesus looks like in my eyes and he played Jesus in the musical. Surprisingly, if I do pray I do not pray to Jesus. I pray to God. God is who I go to but Jesus symbolizes my faith. By the way, no one can convince me to change my views. So, if you have a desire to try go ahead. Its not going to work on me. I mean I will do another post down the road more into my views and what I believe and what I dont. So, we can discuss it then.
Easter was lovely. My mom and I brought Grandma over for the day. She is doing well which is a blessing. She has her interesting stories but at least she is not hitting people with her walker or trying to escape. We had fresh ravioli for dunch or linner whichever you want to call it. They were yummy and filling. You know what was sweet? Grandma asked to clean the dishes after we ate. Well, she always does but we always say no. I dont think its the best thing for her to stand that long. Plus, the dishes are china and she might drop one accidently. Its moms job to clean the china dishes because if I chipped or dropped one she would kick me out. Hehe. She would not but she might have steam coming out of her ears.
After we dropped off grandma back at the assistant living I took the drivers seat in the car and took mom for a spin. Not literally! But, it was a perfect day to practice driving. Easter Sunday. No stores are open and the streets were pretty empty. The way I like them but hard to get in a busy suburb like this. I was calm and did well. I even passed a bicycler without freaking out. Yay!
So, my Easter Sunday was great. Had great bonding time with family, yummy food and a good driving experience. Three things to make a perfect day. Tomorrow is Monday but I am not complaining. Why? Because I have Spring break tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday so I am happy. Woot! I hope you all had a lovely Easter if you celebrate it. If not I hope you had a great fun filled Sunday.
Today was the first day of my Spring break. My last Spring break I will ever have! Wow. How am I going to spend it? Well, taking lots of photographs. Of what? Hmm. Well, my dogs of course and plants that are coming alive. I would also like to record lots of videos with my video camera of my opinions about certain subjects and whatever else sparks my mind. The weather is suppose to be wonderful so I will have to go on one of my long bicycle rides I love to do. My plan for this break is just to have fun because there are no more long breaks before I graduate in June. Its not that far off! So time to enjoy my Spring break before it is gone.
