This lamp shade was a cream color a couple hours ago. Thanks to Baller Art Ware, now it is the color I wanted.
One painting project down, one more to go.
For the last seven weeks I’ve been a Mentor for the Young Story Tellers Foundation. I knew I would love this program and it has made Tuesdays the best day of the week for me.
The kids we have been mentoring at El Rincon Elementary school have their Big Show next Tuesday and I can’t wait! Everyone is welcome to come.
TATTOO FOOTAGE: Look guys! It’s REAL!
Thanks Sara for showing the internet it’s not an awesome ball point pen drawing.
Jillian is so brave and the tattoo looks amazing.
132 DONORS, $3,815 IN DONATIONS, 2 HOURS WITH THE NEEDLE: The tattoo is finally here! Natalie, the contest winner, paid homage to our home state, the place that holds everything I love, MICHIGAN! Personally, I love this tattoo. As the artist, the incredibly talented and nice Derrek Everette of Broken Art Tattoo in Silver Lake said, “Look in the mirror and tell me you don’t feel bad ass.”
THANK YOU: to everyone who donated and reblogged and spread the word <3
Gorgeous.

I was so bummed that he played mostly new songs, but he more than made up for it by playing “No Children” as his second encore. I flipped out.
So the oranges in our back yard are splitting in half while on the tree and then rotting before they fall to the ground. I just looked it up and apparently they’re stressed :(

I was going to post this on my Big Body tumblr (since it is food related) but since I don’t have many followers yet, here it is:
Buy cake from this bakery so they don’t go out of business!
Remember high school when you were on a sports team and winning the county or state championship (or coming close) was the best thing that could happen? I was on the swim team and for the four years I was on it, we came close to beating Greenwich’s team but never took the FCIAC title.
Darien finally did it after 11 years. I wish I was there for that moment, even though I know no one on the team at this point. It still would have been really exciting.

Contest ends TONIGHT at 9:00 pm PST. My friend Elizabeth is coming over to draw the name with me, pretty exciting stuff! Also, my friend Tony’s tattoo artist from St. Louis is going to be in town next week to do work on him, so hopefully I can go with him next Monday to get it done. YIKES. Starting to hope someone NICE wins : )
What are you going to spend $10 on? Something stupid that’s what. Don’t be stupid. Donate to Jillian instead. If you do, you are automatically smart. Congratulations on being an intellectual. You may now feel superior to lesser non-donating people.
DONATE! So I can witness your name being pulled from the hat, and because it is a really great cause.
