Oh happy day.

I'm not sure what's better in life, than getting surprise packages from your FAVORITE ARTIST, of one of your FAVORITE PAINTINGS. Look what brightened up my whole day yesterday!

And just in case you can't read the words, here is a better look. This is going to be matted, framed and hung right next to the front door. I love this whole idea. And I think everyone should have a Worry Bucket at their door.

I always love her words as much as her paintings. And if you want another perfect example, she happens to have one right here today. I relate so much to her self portrait. I'm going to buy a print, and put it next to the mirror in my bathroom. 

I think this is a good start to a great weekend. It's beautiful today. The windows are open. Dina's putting laundry away. YES, you read it right. You'd have thought that I was bungee jumping for the courage I had to muster up. But three weeks ago, I got the nerve to ask her (again)...and she's been doing it ever since. Folding, and putting away little pieces of my sanity every week. Like rows of Prozac hanging in my closet.

Although, there's not much of it since I threw out all my clothes the other day. I think Spring got into me, and I decided that if I didn't LOVE it, I was pitching it. I've been in the same outfit ever since. Thought it would be good motivation to lose weight if I didn't buy anything new. So I did do the eliptical machine with DD yesterday, and highly recommend gossiping while exercising. It makes the time fly, and it's free therapy.

For more happy starts into the weekend: My friend Tracy (from California, who I haven't seen in maybe ten years...hi tracy!) sent me this link. I know you've probably seen it, but it's worth watching again. It always makes me cry in a good way. And then when you're done crying, you can go here for a laugh. My mom sent me that one this morning too. "I love Jesus, but I like to drink". She's my kind of girl.

Have a great weekend peeps! And if you're coming to the Hot Mama shoot tomorrow, get ready for a FUN DAY!! Can't wait! :)
