On Friday I went and saw a small show that a family friend opened for. He was good, but the headliner was better, and hot. And married. That didn't stop me from elbowing a few people out of the way to talk to him afterwards and let him know how much I enjoyed creepily watching him from the corner while picturing the two of us naked together.
If that wasn't forward enough, I bought 2 CDs that will probably stay in the cellophane for the next couple of years. I was going to get just one, but then I saw one with an elephant on the front and couldn't resist.
Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to pick Laura and Jacob up for a grand zoo adventure. What an absolutely GORGEOUS day to be outside at the zoo.
Laura forgot her booster stool.
Babies. OMG SO CUTE.
Can't handle it.
Baby got tired and passed out under mom to rest.
It was really great seeing Jacob since it had been a long time since I had seen him, and he was especially a great sport when he took a ton of pictures for me and even posed to take art kid pictures by a painted mural against his will.
We eventually made our way over to the orangutans and they were out running around eating fruit the the zookeepers had set out for them. Right outside of the exhibit there were Christmas ornaments on display that the orangutans had painted themselves, so naturally I had to buy one. It even came with a picture of the artist - so cute! The proceeds went to orangutan preservation.
I know. I'm really mature.
Bonus picture. You're welcome.
It was so wonderful spending the day outdoors. I met up with Justin later that night and had some drinks with friends of his, then came home and stayed up until 5 am working on another art piece.
Sunday I went to Texas Art Supply and went absolutely out of control, as usual there. I got a ton of new canvases, sharpies, paints, handmade paper, etc. Then it was back to A&J's to take some pictures for their Christmas card, which was fun because their model dog, Luke was in all of them and just loves posing for pictures. For instance, take a look at this glamour shot:
His level of cuteness is pretty much off the charts, and makes me excited for the day that I will have Margot. Yes, Margot will be the name of my dog, and I'll have you know that she and Luke are going to be in LOVE.
Afterwards I stopped by the rents, went to dinner with 5 other gals from work, then came home and realized that the entire weekend was already over. What an awesome couple of days that I really needed.
