art is fabulous

i am so incredibly excited it's ridiculous. my art show starts this friday and i just finished framing the last piece. amazing what a mat and frame will do. it looks like real art. it's very cool and i just can't get over it. tomorrow night we hang the show and then the public will see. i'll be exposed. i was so scared about that for so long, but now i just feel... ready.

other than that, things are good. i'm doing more hr stuff at work and i'm into it. i actually get my rocks off writing policies and procedures. when did i become that person? i know it's not forever and not what i want to do for the rest of my life, but it's good for now. i like setting up systems... am i the quintessential dork now? probably.

i also decided that grad school, here i come, as of the fall. that's liberating. still have to figure out the financing, but it feels much more do-able than it did at first.

owen now says "truck" whenever Aaron walks in the door, because he is fascinated by the beastly machine that Aar uses for work. so funny to see such a "boy" from such a young age. i still get him wearing rhinestone trimmed red striped jeans, though, so there's still hope for a man who's in touch with his feminine side.
