I feel good

I just got out of the shower (still steaming),
the kids are watching their second Barbie movie,
I ate Honey Bunches of Oats for breakfast,
I read two chapters of "Sex God" - Rob Bell (learned: you don't love somebody because they're beautiful, you make somebody beautiful by loving them),
I contemplated a dream I had (something about me being one of the last survivors of a war and being chased down by the enemy army),
and David will be arriving any minute from the Amtrak.
Not a bad morning.

My weekend in Chicago

Union station

Sunset cruise on a tall ship at navy pier

Lots of subway

David's workplace!

A progression of a painting I started yesterday

Mozart and the Whale

Watched this movie last night and laughed so hard at one point that I cried! They say laughing and crying are good for you, so why not do both at the same time? A whale with a shirt that says "beneath this t-shirt lies a real woman..." How could I not?

Official Notice

I have it from good authority (a friend who attended a writer's conference) that there is a new, profoundly impacting change in the grammatical order of things. Are you ready? Here it is:

YOU MAY NOW END SENTENCES WITH PREPOSITIONS!

You can let out that breath you were holding. Wow, I'm just amazed. Who am I going to tell this TO? Whoever I'm talking WITH! In fact, with news this big, I think I'll parade around town here where I'm FROM. No one will have to ask what my business is ABOUT. That's for sure.
