Once upon a few days ago (aka last week), it was nice enough outside that I could stand outside without my jacket and find irony in the winter themed window displays. That didn't last too long. February remembered it's a winter month and blasted back in full force with snow, wind, and ice. And though my car looked badass encased in ice and our driveway was hella fun frozen over, this shitty ass weather has put a damper on some of the social activities. No free pancakes. And... and.. oh wait. I don't have any social activities to attend. I'm poor and unemployed. Be that as it may, I've been keeping myself busy during these treacherous days. I guess I haven't been extremely inspired musically lately but I did feel a burst of artistic inspirato.
Beginning of March, my grandmother who is currently staying with my aunt in Texas is going to be coming back to her good ol' home state of NJ and shacking up with her favorite people. My mother and I went over to her house on Sunday to pick up a few things and consider what furniture would be moved into our house. In looking, my mom stumbled upon a box full of photos and the baby books of my mother and her siblings. My grandmother is incredibly organized to an obsessive level and she had every single school photo in each book from birth to 11th grade. When I came upon my mom in her kindergarten photo, I fells in love! What an adorable child! It kind of bugged me out a little because when I look at it, it looks like the imagery I get when I imagine what my own child would look like. Is that weird? Does anyone else imagine what their children will look like? Well, seriously, I felt like I had seen this child a million times in my mind! Kind of surreal. It's my mama! Well, I took it home because I wanted to scan it to keep it then I got inspired to draw it as a gift for my grandmother. A little "welcome to our crazy ass house" gift. I'm a little uncomfortable showing my art. I'm not exactly pleased with the end result. It could be better. But I'm posting it anyway because this gives me an excuse to show this super cute picture of my mom in Kindergarten! I wish my mom had been this organized with our school photos! Then I could post pictures of me in school and we could all laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh...
