You will not believe this.

No, you won?t. I?m typing it down in order to believe it myself. (I?m typing with a rather halting pace due to the third glass of pinot grigio I just pounded to try and take the edge off my excitement?no, white wine after September doesn?t work for me much like some people can?t handle white shoes after Labor Day, but it was all we had open?thanks Ms. Daffodilly? and I wasn?t really in the mood to crack open a bottle just for a glass, or two, or three?obviously, my analytical prowess is not in fine form this evening).

Although I SHOULD. I totally SHOULD crack open a bottle of my favorite red.

Because, oh my. You know what? I?m posting buzzed, aren?t I? I am. When was the last time I did that? We can?t even remember, can we? Certainly it was in my long ago youth?long long LONG ago forgotten youth wasted on brooding literature, existential poetry and hey?wait, thank god for The Clash and The Talking Heads--- I think they redeem my misspent youth. So. Wait. What was I saying?

Ha. I totally typed ?swaying?! HA. I am posting buzzed. Love it.

(Funny thing is yesterday = craptastic. This morning? I was yelling at myself. Yelling epithets AT. MYSELF. In the mirror. Honestly?are you sure you want to be reading this? Any of this? I?m thinking you should be questioning your choice of blog reading matter?very carefully).

Anyway?I had a point.

Yes. So I went down to Boston today?stopped at my sister?s (so good). Had lunch with Tara (so lovely). Then went to SMFA to pick up my artwork from the sale.

Now that it?s over, I suppose I can divulge where I was taking one of my art classes this past semester: SMFA. Anyway, they have this annual December Sale that is the largest public art sale in New England,

you know, allegedly.

Basically, as a student, you are allowed to submit up to six pieces, which I did. Then, when the sale is over, you go pick up what didn?t sell, which in my case would?ve been six pieces.

Except when I got to the table I was told I had nothing to pick up.

All. Six. Sold.

Which makes me a ?medici artist.?*

I sold all six pieces. Every piece I put in sold.

(Can you see how I?m still trying to get my mind around this basic concept as it?s been hours now since I was informed of the situation and still, the loop, it perambulates).

Hence, the giddy, giddy girl. Hence, the need for a bit of a celebration.

Hence, okay?I will dispense with the hence.

But I just had to share because I?m not sure, but this could possibly be one of the best days of my whole life.

*Medici Artists are those artists who sold more than $1200 worth of work at the December Sale. They are given a one-year complimentary membership at the Cobalt level to the Medici Group. Additionally, Medici Artists are given the opportunity to submit more than the standard maximum number of works at the December Sale.

P.S. EMAIL ME YOUR SNAIL MAIL address (please don't put it in the comments) if you would like a New Year's card from me and the brombies. Yes. I am making cards, people. Making and mailing! It's a brand new day!

got 2 cents?
