art, tulips, nipples

Last Friday we received the exciting news that a piece of Ruby's artwork has been selected for the school district's annual Art Show. She is delighted, as are we, of course. There is a small opening night party to which we've been invited. This event will no doubt be interesting as the Art Show is to occupy the now-vacant J.C. Penney space at the World's Saddest Mall here in our little burg. This mall fascinates me because of it's haunting and half-empty decrepitude. Sadly for me, I will miss this petite soiree because I will be hanging up my photos at OZO coffee house in Boulder. What are the odds that Ruby & I would both be invited to publicly display our works at the exact same time and date??This all takes place on Wednesday. Now I need all of you to keep your fingers crossed that I sell enough prints to cover my costs of this month-long show. That's right, keep them crossed for the entire month of May. Thanks!

Now for the obligatory weekend wrap-up. Saturday was kind of cloudy and cold. I spent it running around picking up prints, shopping for cheap yet attractive frames, and buying groceries. Mr. Man and the girls spent it watching ET & The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Sunday was nicer, sunny and warmer, so we went to Boulder to stroll the Pearl Street mall where we saw scads of lovely tulips:

I also added to my string of failed attempts to photograph the amazing nipples on the mannequins in the Prana store windows. Have you seen them? I swear these mannequins can lactate! Their nipples are huge and firm. Here is my lame photo but, I promise you, I will get a better one. It has become a mission.
