What Did Beethoven Paint Again?

The other day while watching a reality show I found myself not knowing things that I should know. Things that the average, uneducated waitress from your local Hooters seemed to know right along with every type of beer that was made. I felt a little old, after all I knew the difference between Picasso and Monet when I was a student. I distinctly remember learning about these two in fine arts classes.

I’m pretty sure where I went wrong was becoming a mommy and giving up my love of art completely. Aside from the occasional reference to great painters on a cartoon, I’m done. Or am I? I’ve found the greatest way to revive my love of art and sneak in a vacation at the same time. Park West Art Gallery is home to the largest collection of fine art in the world and offers fine art auctions through the U.S. and Canada.

Their affiliate company, Park West at Sea manages to conduct business aboard a cruise ship. How can you really go wrong with that? I took a look around the site and fell in love with Compositions Pour Le Piano. It’s gorgeous and I would love to wake up to it every morning hanging in my bedroom. Right now there’s a summer sale going on so head on over and browse the gallery!

Dry, Red Eyes?

Just like that stupid Visine commercial says I’ve got them. Let me tell you, Visine AC is not working for me anymore. I’ve also got a fair amount of drainage going on here. My doctor talked me into trying a new medication called XYZAL instead of Zyrtec. It blows. Zyrtec is the good old standby that I should have never doubted. Even though I have a prescription card and get my meds at $7.50 and $15.00 I’m ready to run out and pay $20.00 for OTC Zyrtec right now. It’s either that or die from it!
