the big 4-0

Lordy, lordy, look who's 40!?!?
I didn't think that I would make it to the 40 mark in my life. Honestly I didn't. Not with all the health issues that run; or better yet, wobble in my family (heart disease, diabetes, etc). I am truly amazed that I made it. I feel like shouting from the top of our roof in downtown Bakersfield; HEY YOU FUCKERS!!! I MADE IT!!!!. But, I doubt that I would have the guts to do that. Never mind, I'd most likely will get my ass tossed in jail for speaking my mind.

I had a nice day. Took the my step-sons CB and DJ out to Los Tacos where, we scarfed down burritos. Amazon (that's my best friend), Ray came over to take Damon to pick me up my birthday cake from Costco. Never mind the pamphlet that he had inserted in with the flowers for a casket (hardy-har-har). Then came the drinks! Some kind of fruity drink with peaches and strawberry in it with Gin. Eh; his face (Damon) got numb after consuming 3 glasses (I won't mention that I dumped a quarter of Gin in his drink when I got refills). **NOTE; KIDS HAD NON GIN DRINKS**

After hearing all the horror stories from others here that I work with up at BC, I decided to forgo my tattoo and get....



Eh. I don't think so!!! I've tried piercing my nipple once I couldn't bare the thought of going through that again. Shesh!

I'll stick with the fake tattoos for the time being. :o)

Going to a concert!!!

For those of you out there (family and friends) who think they know me really well; let's just see HOW well you know me...

What is my ALL time FAVORITE music group?




*silence*

ABBA! And who is coming to Bakersfield?

Adbacadabra!!!!!

I've waited for YEARS to see them perform live and now, it's my chance go see em at the Kern County Fair. And it gets better cause.... the concert is FREE!!!!
I'll be getting out my platform shoes and satin jumpsuit out for the event. I can't wait to be a Dancing Queen for the nite.

Old students

One of my former photo students sent me an email, telling me of her stay down in Panama. I'm envyous to the extreme that she's staying the whole month down there. BIG congrats to her btw; on getting her BFA in Photography from San Jose State. DezdiMona-Fine Art Photography

turning japanesse, I really think so

Soooo in love with the Asian culture that my step-sons and I are trying to learn Chinese. Holy shit. Talk abt one hard language to learn. Best way to describe it is, that you talk with the tip of your tongue touching the back of your bottom teeth when you try to pronounce a word. So while DJ and I learn the language, CB is going to try his hand at making dishes from Japan, China, Vietnam and Korea. This should be an interesting experience all around.
