So, here’s the scoop on what has happened so far this weekend.

The good news is, I’m healthy as a horse. The fibrous masses have not changed since two years ago, except there’s one new tiny one in the left boob. The doctor said that there’s a good chance it will remain benign, but that I should still check it out in 6 months to make sure.

To celebrate, my mom and I went shopping! It had been a long time since she and I did girly shopping together, and it was a lot of fun. I bought myself a pair of jeans, some frilly underwear (which I’m sure my hubby will enjoy, hehe), and a white tank top w/built in bra. I needed one because I have a really cute shirt that’s just a bit too sheer. Now, i can wear it without having to worry about anything extra showing. LOL. My mom also bought me a jacket that was just gorgeous. Thankfully, it was very cheap, too: only 10 bucks.

After we got back to my mother’s house, turns out my nephew had come over to spend some time with his dad. My brother was at my parent’s house, obviously. The night was pretty normal after that. We had pizza for dinner, cartoons were watched, I did my weekly features on deviantart.com, etc etc…

As for today, my mom and I dropped off my brother and his son at the train station so they could head on up to West Palm Beach and spend time with my cousin and her kids. Afterwards, we went to some stores trying to find a nice and cheap pair of sneakers for me. Now, this is a want, not a need, so I refuse to pay too much for something I just want to have. I’m trying to find a simple pair of black sneakers with no big logos or designs on them that still look young and fashionable for around 10-15 bucks. Apparently, this is much too high of a demand, because all the nice and simple black sneakers are either 30 bucks or look like orthopedic therapy shoes. UGH. I ended just buying a really cute black blouse and a black tanktop to wear underneath it: together, they cost me less than 10 bucks. LOL. I’m such a frickin’ penny pincher. hahaha.

Right now, I’m waiting for my friend Chris to come pick me up so we can go bowling. I’m planning on taking my D-SLR since I’m sure I’ll get some awesome shots. Hehe.

Well, I’m off to get a snack and watch some more Casino Royale on tv. CIAO!

So I was contacted by Random House Australia, and they’re going to be printing Amelia Atwater-Rhodes’ “The Shapeshifters” in Australia/New Zealand. They want to use my work “Dirige” for their covers as well! Hooray!! I’m so happy and excited.

I called the art gallery/business I visited last week, and it seems they still haven’t filled the position. So, here’s to hoping they call me up! *crosses fingers* I’m still looking around at other potential jobs, since I don’t want to hang all my hopes on just one location.

On Sunday, I went down to Miami to spend some time with my parents and my best friend Chris. Sunday night we went to the movies to see ‘Shutter Island’. It was pretty intense. It’s the kind of movie that you need a really strong stomach to watch. I don’t mean in the sense of gore or bloodshed, but some of the subject matter is just… wow… like a punch in the face. I thought it was really great, though. The story was definitely unique and gripping. Now, I’m even more interested in buying the novel it was based on to see what might have been edited in the film.

Right now, the hubby is over at our friend’s house helping her out, since she is very pregnant and has a busted ankle. I would have gone with him, but I just wanted to enjoy being home today. I’ll be going over there tomorrow.

Anyway, I must continue my commission work. Ciao!

So here I am, on the choo-choo train heading down to Miami… and I really REALLY wish I wasn’t. But, we must all go through trials and tribulations in this life. I am really hoping and praying that the server situation is resolved, so that I don’t have to go back to Miami ANYMORE!! *sigh*

We got the TV in the mail today and it is pretty damn amazing. Audi tested out the game graphics by playing a demo of Bioshock (which is a fucking kickass game, btw) and tested the movie graphics with The Ninth Gate, Gladiator, and The Fifth Element. Hehe.

Speaking of The Fifth Element, i need to start putting my costume together. Audi got into a big argument with me over the color of Leeloo’s hair. It’s orange, and he kept saying it’s red. But after he watched the scene with Leeloo on the outside of the building, I pointed out, “Look! It’s fucking orange!” LOL

Anyway, it’s a real pain in the ass typing blogs on this WordPress iPhone app after a while, so I’ll end this entry here.

Ciao.

My God, I have been BUSY lately. I apologize for not sitting down and writing a blog (as if anyone is likely to comment on this anyway), but I have been moving and shaking from the 25th to the 27th. Here’s the (somewhat) quick rundown.
