wkend recap

well, i'm happy to report my Dia de los Muertos artwork "E pluribus unum" sold Fri nite. and i won the Grand Prize for best hat at BodyMind&Soul bookstore Sat eve. in attendance were Mom and Elaine, and Jeanne made it! Mom was wearing a headress she'd bought in Russia and looked like royalty! We (Mom, Elaine and i) left the store and went to El Pueblito for a bite. the weather was so perfect for dining alfresco. it was dark, the breeze was cool, the moon was full (or almost), surrounded by tall palm trees, a gurgling fountain and sawdust on the ground. the meal (crabcakes accompanied by ice-cold Negro Medelo) was fabulous!!! we went to my place afterward for an impromptu belated birthday gift-opening for Mom. she was surprised and delighted by her gifts. Thanks again Elaine! Sun i went over to Masoud's. i had to paint a wooden clock (for charity) and 2 boxes for the MindPuddles Gallery. there was a moment of panic because i didn't finished the clock until 6pm. and all the works are due on Tue! i was up until midnight painting the 2 boxes; one of Elsa (my cat) and the other of a black stallion. But thanks to Masoud(and all his help -- thanks Babe!), i got it done!!! and he and i made the most delicious pot of chili!
