Things are starting to happen...

Busy, Busy, Busy...

Due to some issues with manpower, we will have to postpone {tay'-cho}'s opening until May. We are looking at the 2nd -3rd weekend. We will have some exciting work and artists for our opening. As the time gets closer, I will feature each artist on this blog.

FINALLY...it appears that my work from PR will actually be sent to me. I just hope that when they arrive, they are intact and not damaged. I don't care about the frames as I can replace those, I am just concerned for my actual work. I do believe that once I receive these, I should no longer have to have any connection with my ex. We have no children together so we can both just be free to move on. Me with my new marriage and gallery and him with his child girlfriend. It still makes me sick to my stomach that I was so right about my so called marriage. I wonder how he feels to be out in public with her and have her mistaken for his daughter. I am still trying to figure out how I could have stayed with someone for so long who was so twisted. Anyway, this is done and over and I am fortunate that I no longer have such a person in my life.

I also will be getting my bird back. YAY!!! I have missed him terribly. He is an 11 yr old mini macaw named Meecie. I bought him a huge cage and I will have to drive down to Miami in Apr. to pick him up. This also means I will have to see the ex, as he is bringing him over. Not looking forward to that. But it is a means to an end. The only other thing pending is resolving my partnership in my gallery in PR. and then I can truly be free of my past life there. No more ties!

Our New Gallery

Progress is being made on the gallery and we have finally set an opening date. Apr 9, 2011 from 7-10 pm. There will be food, wine and great music. The side street will be closed for the party. Still working on getting the artwork here. Another promise of my work being shipped has been made. Will see if that comes to fruition. I have been busy filling out paperwork for licenses and permits, overseeing work in the gallery, searching for hanging systems and lighting and trying to complete several pieces of work I have in various stages of completion. This month is definitely going to be interesting and exciting.

Trying to get my work...

Along with leaving my old unhappy life in Puerto Rico, I left all my life's work. Thinking they would be in good hands and once I got set up here I would be able to get them back. NOT TRUE!!! My poor paintings are being held captive and I am unable to get them back. All I seem to get is a bunch of empty promises that they will be sent next week...well next week is 5 months already. My fault for ever believing that the promises of a man who I mistakenly thought would actually respect me and my work enough to send them to me. My fault for believing that 16 years with someone actually mattered. My fault for closing my eyes to see that once he was secure enough to know I wouldn't take his pension and retirement, that he could then call off all agreements and prior arrangements. Now my work is probably sitting outside somewhere collection dust, mold and lizard poop. Guess it is kind of fitting as that was what our marriage was like for the last 6 years of it. Dusty, moldy and full of shit!

Then again...what else should I expect from a man who when I caught him fucking a 25 yr old and I confronted him, told me I was crazy and imagining things, or when I told him I wanted to leave him and move on to try to find happiness, asked me if I needed to see a therapist, or when I have proof he is currently screwing a 30 yr old, someone younger than his youngest daughter, who also btw, happens to look like his youngest daughter, he continues to deny it.
