Ten Points to Ponder (good for a Monday laugh)

Number 10:  Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9:  Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8:  Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny.  If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Number 7:  Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Number 6:  Some people are like a Slinky .. not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5:  Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals, dying of nothing.

Number 4:  All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Number 3:  Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00, and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00?

Number 2:  In the 60's, people smoked weed to make the world weird.  Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

And The Number 1 Thought:  Life is like a jar of Jalapeno peppers; what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.

Art Rage: Another Digital Art Piece

This is another digital piece done on "Watercolor" paper with a "wet brush".  This was interesting to me as I haven't done any real water color painting yet.  It has a completely different look than Acrylic painting.

Art Rage: New Digital Art Pieces


I have started working with a new Digital Application on my iPad called "ArtRage".  It is really great and has lots of painting tools to mimic Oil, Acrylic, different paper types, brush types, dry, wet paint, etc.  So here are some experiments so far.

2010 Year in Review for a Blonde Girl

I'm back friends/followers....hoping to free up some time to start blogging again.  I thought this was cute (as I am a natural blonde but accept assistance from Clariol, Garnier, Loreal, etc.) and it would be a great start for the new year.  Looking at this person's year....it makes mine seem really great. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends.  Enjoy!
