Happy Birthday to Tony 2014

Today is my brother’s birthday and he’s very far away from me in actual miles.

So you know that there will be doodles.

I was supposed to send him something…. but I just can’t remember what it was

Was it a:

No… I don’t really see you wearing a tote in the arctic…

How about a:

But I don’t see how you could use a vote… I mean you’re not running for office. And I don’t think you have entered the Voice this year.

How about a:

It seems fun, but it could be dangerous…

How about a:

You could use it… But I don’t have the cash for that right now… give me a week or a few years.

I know what I’m supposed to send you!!!! I think it was a:

No, that seems like more work than the kiddos.

How about a:

That’s not quite right…

It should be more like this:

 

I hope you have the best birthday with the girls! I hope it’s fun and magical… and full of good eats and treats.

In fact let’s toast to it!

What am I doing?

The answer is drawing cats and constellations. I am currently working on a project with a lovely friend who is a wonderful artist herself.

Soon I will have a whole picture to this until then enjoy this rough draft I sent her to make her laugh:

Meow astrology cats to come!

The Dr. Pepper High

Some people are wild about sports.

Some people are crazy about fancy eateries.

Some people covet commercial jingles.

I personally delight in the 23 boastful flavors of Dr. Pepper!

I could drink it all the time. I fear that someday I will be discovered passed out with a case around me and a smile on my face.

Combine Dr. Pepper with my back pain pills and I may even laugh at Ashton Kutcher… or more honestly I will just sing Huey Lewis songs.

Girlish Laughter

Eeek!

I haven’t posted anything in approximately 1 forever.

So I have been everywhere in most of California in the last few weeks.

It’s been amazing.

And well I can say one thing I don’t think I have laughed as much as I have in a very long time. And it’s so very good to laugh.

And my laughing accomplice you may ask???

My sister the second most giggly person in my family*

*No one can giggle as much as I can. I may actually be made of 93% giggles.

I hope everyone else out there has had at least one giggle today.

And if you haven’t watch this:

It made me giggle and swoon more than once.

My hair is the worst week: Pinterest Inspirations

Sometimes I try to conquer my bad hair with knowledge. I leaf through the internet’s tips and suggestions…

And then with enough alcohol and coconut oil… I get brave!

And sometimes it doesn’t work out the way I planned:

This happens every time… and then I just go out with my frizzy hair… and a lot of self confidence.

My Hair is the Worst Week: Expansion Pack

As promised here is part 2.

True story, when I get out of the shower it’s a countdown to an afro that could outshine 1980’s Whitney Houston…. But the only person I want to dance with is someone with a hair tie.

When my hair is in such an uproar being around me is dangerous.

If you are in a 5′ range you could end up with hair in your mouth or eye.

You could be infringed from watching television if seated behind me.

You could be filled with memories of the 1980s and perhaps wonder when Chaka Kahn is releasing her latest album.

Or you could also be inspired to plant a hedge in front of your house,

All of these things have really happened.
