Confessions of a recluse Oompa-Loompa

Ok, first off let it be known that I actually left the house! Yeppers, actually two Friday nights in a row...Holy Commoly, alert the presses!





A small few of you know this about me, but I almost NEVER (seriously never) leave the house. Seriously, going to the doctors is a day out for me. I leave when I have to. Although, I am actively working on changing this dangerous behavior.





Since starting STJ, I work it like a million mile marathon. In other words non stop. So, when I actually left the house last Friday, it was a big deal. I met with a friend Kate to discuss business stuff, girlie stuff and the cake topper I will be making for her wedding cake in May!! We later met up with our hubsters (or soon to be's) and had a hysterical time laughing at my hubster singing some karaoke 1980's hair band song..oh just LOVELY, it was ;) It was truly nice to be among others. Sounds strange but I kinda forgot what this was like.





Ok, so moving on.... I left the house AGAIN tonight when a friend Kath invited me to dinner! I ate something so wonderful that did not come out of some sort of can or frozen container and I am pretty damn sure it had great nutritional value! Again...STJ/Art make the whole having to eat to sustain life a real pain in my azz. Truly I do not understand why I am not a stick/size 0 by now???!!





Might be/Could be the sheer lack of movement of my azz off the desk chair??....fleeting thought however. Ok so we then after dinner met up for drinks with my dearest friend Andy who actually used to be my boss years ago (funny how these things happen). Well, we met at this newer club nearby that had all purple lighting. It was actually very cool to look at.





So here is a corner of the club with the purple lighting....









And here is me in the purple lighting (pic by Kath):

Do I not look like an Oompa-Loompa? And what is up with my lips? You could use them to float barges for crying out loud!! I knew they were "bigger" than most but yikes!





Ok, on a positive note, I am rocking a handmade resin ring from an Etsy seller and a necklace too that is out of view. All in all I had a wonderful time and enjoyed living life a bit vs. watching it go on around me.

Hehee Dani! Yes, there is a real world out there, but I think most of us creative types know what you mean when you say you don't get out often. Hey! We don't live too far apart--come out AGAIN, and let's hop thru NYC :)

I'm with Jacqui--absolutely nothing wrong with those lips! Great to finally connect the face to the awesome personality!

Lips to die for, you silly goose! Move over Angelina... Your picture reminds me of a fortune teller for some odd reason. Maybe the lighting makes me think carnival. Glad you enjoyed your nights out!

snippetgirl said...

I can totally relate to this post. I am in dire need of a fun night out. It sounds like you had a blast...i especially like the sound of the 80s hair band karaoke!
Ha! I know you must be working non stop right now...try to be gentle with yourself and take (more) happy breaks :).

I'm so happy you got out and about, and you look fabulous in your purpleness! :) And I agree with everyone - those lips are money in the bank! Glad you had fun, Dani!

Hey Dani...
I agree with everyone else... that your lips are what women pay $$$ for.

It's so good that you took some time and treated yourself and your friends to fun... I bet they've been wanting to take you out forever!!!

Breathe.....

Thanx bunches everyone for your sweet comments. This being an artist business, is tough stuff at times for me. I sooo appreciate you taking the time to encourage and inspire me in the pursuit of my happiness. HUGZ!

oh, and I will be a lil less self conscience about my lips now since your funny yet comforting comments.

Denise said...

looks like a great place! WOuld love to come along next time!! I can bring my lips too. I need to get out more as well. I am finding the more creative I get the less social I become and im stuck in my art room -- then months go by and I realize I havent seen people. HA!

Coach Z said...

Well I just love your art!! Having had my own business for 11 years, I know how much it can take over... so congrats about getting out. PS: You do not look like an Oompa Loompa to me. They were orange with green hair. You do look purple however...what kind of gum had you been chewing!! Cheers.

It's good to get out once in a while. Since I work at home myself, I know how easy it is to just lock yourself away and not step out into the "real world." But as my grandfather used to always say, it's good to get outside "and blow the stink off!"

Let me tell you wish I had those lips my are small.To scared to have them done big baby. When I put my picture up on the DAG your see what I mean.And everyone is so young I feel old.But you look like you had a good time.
