I've been thinking about setting one of these things up for awhile now.
Hmmm, now where to start.....
So I'm an artist living in Yucaipa, CA. I have a Hubby, Michael Carrillo, a two year old son, and am 7 and a half months pregnant with another boy. This is the last time I plan on being pregnant in my life. I'm trying to enjoy it, but it's getting to that point where I'm looking forward to having my body back to myself. Michael and I got in a good shag last night, and it's just a really weird thing to feel your unborn baby moving around during the action. I took this picture today in the studio.




Tyring to get things painted for upcoming shows, but it's really getting difficult, with being tired and chasing a two year old around. I've been painting during Dyl's naptimes and at night after he goes to bed. I'm in a group show right now at the Alcove in GA. and I also have a four person show opening this weekend at DVA Gallery.

Some new paintings



I've been feeling lately that my artwork has become a bit stagnant, not progressing. I guess it's because I havent' really had enough hours in the day to devote to it. And I suppose it's going to be a long while before I get that kind of time on my hands again. :)
So Dyl celebrated his second birthday last weekend. We had the party at a local park because we didnt' want to see our house destroyed by the plethora of children. Here's Dylan and his homegirl Shannon Daisy Soto. Atta boy Bub, the chicks dig a hot set of wheels.
So it's about time for me to wrap up this first post. I'm getting hungry, and it's not a pretty sight these days when hunger calls. Hopefully I can be diligent enough to post here regularly. I enjoy seeing everyone else's blogs, and getting a little sneak peek at their day to day lives.

Hey Shaunna, welcome to the wonderful world of blogging (okay, maybe it's not so wonderful sometimes)! Some advice:

Watch what you say in here... eventually you're whole family will be reading this believe it or not. My grandparents read mine, and god knows who else. That said, be yourself. If you want to tell everyone you had a "good shag" then by all means go for it! Hehe. Just keep in mind that anyone can find this.

Also, there's an option in the comment control panel to check all your comments before they're published. I'd recommend this unless you want tons of spam penis pill and Viagra ads. One time I checked my comments and overnight I had like 20 ads that said "Add 3 inchees to your P3NIS size".

Welcome to blogging!

Cool, thanks everyone for the comments & suggestions. Jeff, I think I figured out how to set the comment approval thing. That's a good tip. Lots to learn about this thing!

Hiya Shaunna, I've seen you in the Internet land before, but one of these days it'd be cool to actually meet you!

That "Sailor Sue" pic is freakin' great! "Stagnant" is NOT how I'd describe it!

And Jeff Soto's right...your whole family's gonna end up reading your blog. When I found out that my mom started reading mine, I just about died. Ha!
