You know when you have a song on your mind and you just can't stop singing it. Well this song was my inspiration for the painting "Corazon de Melon". (Click on the picture and you can then hear a clip of it. ) It's actually a Cuban mambo song by Perez Prado. Somewhere in the depths of my memory as a child this song has just come bubbling up. Mambo music is embedded in my soul and being. I can remember having family gatherings during Christmas and my tio Neto (Ernesto) dancing with his wife Carmen to Perez Prado music, (the same way that Elaine danced on Seinfeld.) His fancy moves always cleared the dance floor. I'm really happy I found this ... I think I'm going to download it to my mp3 player. Oh... and maybe even create a E-card with this music for Valentines E-greetings. (Don't you just love, brain farts?)

(Ok... I now this is really silly thing to post on an artist website...but what the heck). In my description I said I would post interesting links. One of my most favorite places to visit is Kathy Murillo's, www.craftychica.com , she is an amazing artist, writer and has such a creative soul. She has a full spectrum of links to browse on her links page. This is one of the funnier ones. Will have to buy my hubbie one of these camisas (shirts). "Real Men Wear Choneez", click on picture to go to their site.

Went on a date this Saturday and laughed so hard I practically pee'd my chones, went to see "meet the fockers" goodness, when Gaylord Focker said... in his drunken stupor..."yo soy tu papa" to his alleged son... was definately one of those classically funny movies. I'm not a big fan of Babs, but she and Dustin Hoffman were great in this movie. I think I really need to get out more often and enjoy dating again. Dating my hubbie of course. With a house full of ninos, work, school, dishes, laundry, etc... seems like there is very little time to enjoy down time. Definately recommend going on dates. In the words of my favorite DIY jailhouse bunny... "it's a good thing". ; )
