My birthday weekend was a blast!! Friday night Ricky G took me out for a romantic dinner at this little french restaurant. It was delicious from the wine, to the yummy apps – all the way to our creme brulee desert with a candle on top! :) I hope that wish comes true.

The Monster Drawing Rally was fun and inspiring. Man I’ve got to start creating more raw art!!! Paint, draw, create! I’m behind this computer working on projects so much – my list of personal creative things to accomplish always gets pushed down the list.

It was great to see the artist’s create LIVE. We missed Jee, but ran into a couple other aquaintences. I chatted with Sirron Norris, who’s work I’m a big fan of. I almost bought one of his, but they were selling really fast. It was good to talk to him, though & hear what he’s workin on now. The best was watching him work. Seeing him start with a pencil sketch, and then go over it with just a ball point pen and making it look great. His characters are so cute. If you live in San Francisco, you’ll probably recognize some of his murals down in the mission or in Jay’s Cheesesteaks. It’s really fun work with surreal twist.

The rest of the night was fun, and we left Rebecca’s by about midnight to get a good night’s sleep to prepare for our big party night Saturday night. I’ll post about that soon – and with photos! but for now I just have to show you the most exciting thing that just got delivered to my door:

wooohoooo!!! Apple was offering free engraving, and I just couldn’t resist :) A big thanks to my sweet Momma for getting this for me for my bday! They just sold their house, so she got iPod’s for me and my little sis. yay! I can’t wait to start playing around and loading music onto it! You know this thing will hold practically my entire collection of music? 700 CDs! whoa!

Ok, I’ve got a busy day, so I’ll write/post more later, but just had to report that I had a TERRIFIC birthday weekend!!! :) I’m 29!
