Happy Birthday To Me

Happy Birthday To Me!

I've been incredibly busy lately with work -- art and non-profit -- and a number of other things. However, I did have a really great birthday party a week ago that my best friends Amy and Carolyn threw for me (Thank You both!!!). It was a combo b-day party and mini-preview of my home installation (still several months to go before it's finished). It was a really lovely night spent with close friends, most of whom have been in my life for ten or more years now!!













Michael made me this for my birthday -- I LOVE it! We have an ongoing joke about McDonalds.
We also have an ongoing joke that I'm a reincarnation of one of Mao's wives.
