I had a birthday…hold applause I hate ’em. Yeah, yeah most people have that fake gushing mock teasing lilt when they say they hate their birthdays…but no…I really do hate birthdays.
Well, I liked them up until I turned 35 and after that they just suck. Yep. Suck. Seriously. I hate ’em. This year was/has been tough. Not just the birthday thing…but the whole damn year. I will be sooooo glad when this is over. I hate to tease karma by saying “things can’t get any worse” cuz my bitch friend karma WILL make things worse and I desperately need some good stuff.
At first Barry had forgotten my b’day. I was none too pleased. But he did get the evening off after putting in yet another full day plus at the office. He got me a beautiful new digital camera that I love. It’s 12 mega pixels and in HD. I loves me my new camera. It’s black and purrrty!
We went out for chinese food. It was yummy and the company was wonderful. The kids were pretty good that night.
Still hate birthdays.
Yep…onto other stuff.
I gave Barry his Halloween present. The book is officially tittled:
Wombolees
Here’s the cover colored.
It’s more mock up then actual ‘go with it” official cover. I need more space in the black area for the logo. But each cover will have the same black area with the image inside. I’m pretty happy. I redid the drawing part of this cover 4 or 5 times. I like her look better here.
I do want to recolor it. Change the colors a little and add color holds to the wombolees.
Gave him the first 36 pencilled, inked pages. I think he liked it. I’ve begun coloring on it. Kinda fun to do. Still wish I could do watercolors, but digital is the way to go.
Moving on:
Things I thought I’d never hear Barry say:
“Excuse me, I have to go put on my make-up”.
I cackled over that one for a long, LONG time.
We all got all purrty-ed up for the Halloween Fest 2007. Barry went as Hellboy, Chloe was a mummy, Fox was a Vampire, and Molly carried on the tradition of being a pumpkin. She’ll be it again next year as the costume will still fit ; o )
I went as a dark coffin bride…at least that’s what the costume said. I just thought it was cool.
And you thought my halloween illustration was just for fun. Nope. It was a sneak peak at what everyone was going to be for halloween.
While packing up the costumes I came across an old play outfit that we had to put on Molly.
At first she hated it, but then I think she got to liking it. When it came time to take it off, she kept trying to run away from me. We had to laugh because with each movement her little puppy tail waggled.
I need more pictures of the three kids together. One mugs for the camera, one wants to eat it, and the baby just wants to avoid the flashy light thing.
My Mom gave me a hard time about Chloe going as something so spooky. Princess. She should be a princess!
Stuff and nonsense! Personally I think she’s an even cooler chick for wanting to get into Halloween and NOT go with the herd and be something different, but Mom wanted to see Chloe in something more … princessey. Blah!
Mom made the comment a couple of times about girls dressing up as Princesses for the Disney Halloween party and Chloe out to do it, too. I don’t think my Mom’s given into the idea that our family does things a tad bit different.
But I did compromise and we had a pre=halloween princess session. Chloe did love getting all dressed up in her princess splendor.
Gotta admit, the kid cleans up right purrtty like.
Fox went as a Vampire. This kid is the cutest, rough and tumble fella there is.
I had so much fun getting him ready. He wasn’t really into all this clothing and stuff, but when I let me check himself out in the mirror, he was having a blast! Then he found out you get candy and he was in heaven!!!!
Me and the ghouls.
I wore these bitchin’ false eyelashes…I’d never worn falsies before. These lashes had these rhinestones atop of the lashline. Hard to wear, but MAN! Did they sparkle!
Barry sure got a lot of odd stares when he opened the door to give kids candy!
Molly in her pumpkin finery!
Molly just wants to get onto the candy phase.
