My friends Laura had been telling me about this place she goes and paints at. You all paint the same picture, with instruction. I always thought her pictures looked great, and she looked like she had so much fun. So, last Thursday (on a school night...can you believe it???) Laura, Shari, and I decided to make it a night out. We had so much fun! While I'm not planning on quitting my day job or opening a gallery anytime soon, I think I did pretty good for my first time. It was so relaxing, and it was fun to do something outside of the school with friends. I can't wait until we do it again!

The rest of our "class". One lady was pretty toasted by the end. A little too much wine, I think. See the girl in the middle. I know her from somewhere, I just can't place her. It's actually driving me crazy.

Our instructor fella. He's a middle school teacher...somewhere. I can't remember. He started by telling us the story "The Dot". (There's the mystery girl again...where do I know her from?!?)

Laura and her work of art

Me and my painting...it is now proudly displayed on my bedroom wall. There was a candle thing on the wall I didn't really like, so the painting took its place. And it conveniently matches the chairs in our bedroom. Ed said he loved it. I offered to hang it in Tyler's room, but he insisted that he was saving that space for a Falcons "thing" he had "somewhere."
