the new year

having lots of fun since new year's eve and beyond. and of course, before that! went to damon and suzy's for the ringing in of the new year. and made rich drive me over to erik's after that. 2am. so, I was a little freaked out when I got my glass of champagne, took a sip and proceeded to spray it all over everyone in my close proximity. I didn't understand. days later, erik pointed out to me that if I drink bubbly stuff and start shaking my head, it will explode. ok. good. I didn't think I was that out of control! sure, I drank a bit of champagne that evening and I didn't drink enough water through the night. I did have fun and len was so sweet and sober to give leigh and myself a ride home at 4.
january 2 was my mom and dad's 50th anniversary! wow. there were some times I didn't think it would last. but they did. and they are quite happy now. probably because my dad can barely hear, so he can just ignore her sometimes. maybe.
worked hard doing hair for two days. and then today I went to the alameda flea market to buy some supplies for my upcoming trunk show. it had been raining for some of the last markets, and I haven't been in, oh, maybe 10 years. it was ok. a lot of untangling of chain. was it really worth it? we'll see. maybe there was some inspiration picked up along the way. there usually is.
