I got my paintings done(five in the last two weeks!) in the nick of time. Finished the last one at 1:30am for the party that evening...

It was glorious fun. The house was packed and we feasted, things got a little crazy and musical...

Thanks to all my sweet friends who came and brought yummy things, celebrated with me and mah girl, Rebecca, who was as able an assistant hostess as a girl could wish for.

It was a grand party and the afterparty was mellow and lovely, with R and Holly on the couch discussing the mysterious lines of love on their palms...

while I gave Sam a massage.
