Let's say that you all know of two guys who are the biggest Disney Dorks on the planet. They're big kids at heart and love nothing better then to take trip after trip to Disneyland or Disneyworld and act like kids for a few days. At their ages, they find the place to be magical and it holds a very special meaning for them. They've even been known to go as far as to wear Mickey Ears, Mickey T-Shirts and collect Disney pins while at the parks.

Let's also say that these two guys want to commit their lives to one another during the 1st weekend in December. No fancy ceremony with friends and family is what they're looking for, but just two people who love each other who want to exchange rings to represent their love and commitment.

They don't want to make a huge fuss about it. The laws prevent them from legally marrying in most states of course, so until all 50 states legalize gay marriage, they would like to do something personal just for the two of them. It's not that they don't like the idea of a commitment ceremony. They think it's a wonderful idea for the right couple. They just aren't that couple. At least not at this time. Who knows how they'll feel down the road.

Knowing what big DD's they are, would you all think that this would be the perfect place to do it? Right in front of the Castle? They say that Christmas in the park is one of the most beautiful and magical times of year. Not only the entire park, but the Castle alone is lit with over 80,000 white and light blue LED lights and at the close of the fireworks and castle lighting ceremony, it actually snows in Southern California. Hundreds of snow machines blow snow into the majority of the park while they play "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" over the speakers.

I know if this were me, I'd have trouble getting through this without being a blubbering mess.

The closer it got to Tuesday, the more depressed I got. I didn't want to go back to work. We were enjoying doing very little for 3 days. Then I realized that I didn't have to go into work today and could work from home since I have to go to a specialist this afternoon at 1pm. Then my mood perked up. I hate the fact that I get a little down on Sunday afternoon, knowing that the weekend is coming to an end and the beignning of the work week starts.

We saw a movie Friday night, spent most of the day Saturday working around the house and taking it easy before heading out for dinner and drinks that night. We hadn't been out drinking in quite a while. Before long, we both were a little bit tipsy, sitting at the bar of the Eagle. Good thing we didn't go out on Sunday. Heard rumors that an older drag queen collapsed on stage and died of a heart attack. The sad thing is that this didn't prevent the bar from completely going back to normal after they carted her dead body away. I heard the back room even got a little frisky. Real classy guys.

Steven spent the rest of the weekend working on tshirt designs (he set up a new website) and posters/logo's for a friend's business. I finished up another portrait which you can see below. She's an ex co-worker and her boyfriend. Isn't he dreamy? Just the cuttest little cub.

The rest of the weekend was spent napping and watching movies. I absolutely loved it. We even took a few hours out of our day yesterday to go visit the In-Laws.

Now I get to work from home. Naked. I wish I could do this every day.

I am peeing myself with excitement about having a 3 day weekend, despite the fact that we're reallly not going to be doing much. This is probably the first time in 10 years that I'm not traveling on this holiday. If I'm not going home to visit family, I was heading to The Ranch or some other city for a mini-vacation.

We didn't plan ahead well enough, so staying at the ranch is impossible. A drag queen (don't get me started) and his sidekick will be staying in Brian's trailer coating the place with sticky hairspray, glitter, makeup and wig hairs, while Brian and his boyfriend stay with friends. I can't wait to see what the trailer looks like after they've completely destroyed it. Luckily, it's not my problem anymore. The cabins fill early on holiday weekends and I refuse to sleep in a tent in the Texas summers, so it left us no other options. So the ranch is out.

We're contemplating heading to Disneyland again (don't judge me!) for either Gay Days or possibly a Christmas trip, so flying somewhere this weekend is out of the question.

So instead, we're going to take it easy, see a few movies, lounge by Steven's parents pool, maybe head to the Bear Beer Bust at The Door and nap in between times. My body won't know how to react to so much relaxation.

Maybe I'll spend some time on Facebook. Yes, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon with all the rest of the 12 year old girls out there and join. But, solely for the purpose of starting an art/fan site for my drawing. Little did I know that almost every single cousin, niece and nephew is on Facebook, not to mention almost every blogger that I know as well. Who knew? Within one day I think I had 50 or more friends. I feel so special. I've heard from family and friends that I haven't spoken to in ages.

For those who haven't hopped on a plane already or who are at Southern Decadence trying to out dodge a hurricane, what is everyone's Holiday plans?

Whatever it is, make sure it's a safe and fun weekend.

I'm already seeing some work come in for portraits. I completed one yesterday for a friend, which prompted two more commissions from them. I also am currently working on drawing for an ex co-worker of mine of her and her husband for his birthday. There's a guy here at work who's commissioned me as well. He's even gone as far as to give me photographs, but he's not followed through with the money. I don't mean to be an asshole, but I've been burned too many times in the past by spending hours on a portrait only to have the person not pay. Just covering my ass is all.

The site is basically done, but I'm sure I'll be tweaking it constantly. The link is now permanently on the left hand column right above Steven's tshirt site. The site is ready with pricing and how to contact and pay for work.

I'm more concerned with adding a substantial body of portrait work to the site.

I would love to be able to be my own boss some day and tell the corporate world to kiss my hairy butt. Unfortunately, insurance is a necessity still. Who knows that the future holds though. I'm just enjoying being able to spend time on my drawing and continue to sharpen my skills. You get a tad bit rusty after a few months of doing nothing. It also starts to inspire me to do other work for myself.

My creative juices seem to be squirting all over the place.

It's like an artistic circle jerk.

Friends of Steven's were completely disctriminated against this weekend at a local gourmet Mexican restaurant in a very gay friendly area of town. Please go to Steven's blog and read what happened.

Want to make a call to complain about their practice of discriminating against Gays?

We all know that I have what I call a few "quirks". Sniffing my food before I eat it. Touching my phone and wallet pockets to make sure my stuff is there, probably 8 times from the house to the car. Not eating any meat on a bone. Then there's my fear of birds, horses and anything reptilian. There's a host of others, but you get the idea.

Have I mentioned my "quirk" about people who can do things with their feet? I have the ability to only wiggle my toes probably a quarter of an inch. It grosses me out to see people wiggle theirs all over the place, spead them wide open, etc. But the worst is when people use them like hands and pick things up off the floor or worse yet, reach over and pinch you with them! The last one will send me into a fit.

I live with a monkey. Steven has to resist the urge to not do these last two in front of me. I'd have to walk out of the room if he did. A couple of nights ago while sleeping, he reaches over and pinches my leg with his toes without even knowing it! I had trouble going back to sleep after that.

Speaking of nightmares, I also have a fear of clowns. So does Steven. Check out one of his latest shirts. Not only is it creepy, but it has some political undertones.

A few portrait orders have come rolling in. I think I'm sitting with a total of 5 people now to complete. Who knows. Once the word continues to get out, I could be spending most of my evenings drawing rather then sitting my ass in front of the TV getting fat.

Like getting fat for me would ever happen. Although I went in this morning to have blood drawn for an upcoming check up and I weighed in at a whopping 177 pounds! That's pretty good since I had to fast since 8pm last night. Not even a cup of coffee with cream, since that can seriously screw up my cholesterol/trygliceride levels. What the fuck? Either I've finally put on some decent pounds or I have a tumor the size of Texas in my stomach. Anything is possible, but I'm hoping for the former. I think that's the most I've ever weighed in my entire life. I know, I know. Most people spend their entire lives trying to lose weight and I've spent my entire life trying to put weight on. Yes, yes....I would take your fat cells and inject them into my ass if I could. Unfortunately, that procedure hasn't been perfected.

I'm not sure why gaining weighit has weighed heavily on my mind lately. I go in spurts when it comes to obsessing about it. Next week I could be down to 165 for no reason at all and I will have not changed my eating habits.

When you're a person who generally only eats to survive, it makes things difficult. I'm just not a foodie like many people. I like and crave certain things once in a while, but I don't live to eat. I eat to live. I enjoy the act of going to a restaurant more then I do the food.

Everyone can stop making the "smallest violin in the world" gesture now.
