I suddenly have all this confidence in myself and in my art that I've never had before.
It's empowering.
I'm going to Peru to teach art in the street and public schools for a couple of weeks in June. It's my birthday present to myself. I'm teaming up with another artist (who happens to be a great friend of mine) to sell enough of our art to send us on this trip to bring art to some kids who otherwise wouldn't have exposure to it.
I'll probably come home with 8 adopted brown babies. I love brown babies. Thank god I found a brown boyfriend up here in the great white North! I feel like I'm the luckiest girl alive. Can you imagine? A house full of these:

OH MY GOD! They're unbearably adorable. I want 10 of them. As long as I don't have to birth them all. One or two? Fine. After that they just walk right out of your uterus. I don't know nothin bout birthin no babies.

You can email me at littlepidge@gmail.com if you're interested in any of the pieces, or you can commission one! It's not too expensive, I've just got to talk to my best friend so she can tell me how to price it. I clearly priced these ones myself since she's at work. All the proceeds will go directly to my trip fund. Anything extra will be donated directly to the New Hope Volunteer Organization.
I've never been so excited in my whole life. Peru has been on my To Do list for a very long time, so for it to actually be feasible is an incredible feeling. I might need a sedative. Or someone to pinch me. Or someone to administer a sedative and then pinch me frequently to make sure I'm still alive. I don't exactly know how a sedative would effect me. I have strange reactions to any sort of medication.
I have also decided to quit smoking when I book my ticket. Cuzco is at 11,000 feet. It's not exactly easy to breathe, even if you're a non-smoker. This is gonna be life changing. I can feel it in my bones.
