Dinner was my beloved carnitas burrito from Chipotle. I am fat and happy. And, as I said before, one of the world's leading mural artists.

Revel in the fulfillment of having a husband with such skillz.
I must get back to work. Robbi is tired of staring longingly at the wall, waiting for the greatness.
