Damn, I wish I could play the video, but I am fresh out of broadband for the next five days Sounds like a smash hit!!

He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing.

As my favorite director always says "there are no small parts, only small actors"

Well. . . ....I am still on a high. We went to the opening night of The Drowsy Chaperone at Jack's school, and it was incredible. I sound very like a biased mom, but everyone in the audience was truly blown away. I only wish Soooozle could have been there.... . ....

Jack was fantastic. He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing. He plays the part, in this scene, of one of the cameramen who dances around, lifts up the leading lady, and generally keeps smiling', movin' his feet and singin'.. .. . ..

Looks great!

Gads, have I got a lot to do. .. . . ..

Having a 50th birthday party here this Saturday night for DH. He is MUCH, MUCH older than I. There will be about twenty people, just family and a few close friends. (Um, guess who is flying in tomorrow, 5:42 pm?). . . . ...

.. . ..MIL . .. . .... :noadequateemoticonavailable:

Saturday night is coincidentally the final night of Jack's musical production, which actually works out well because almost everyone who is coming to the party will be heading to the musical afterwards. It'll be one big convoy.. . .. ..

SOosoosooOoO, I have to clean the entire house and the yard in case we are out on the deck, hit groceries and the liquor store... . . ....and the big thing: I decided four days ago to do a painting for DH. I am about half-finished.....it must be dry, matted and framed by Friday night.

So WHAT IN HELL am I doing on here??. . .

Well, forget all that unimportant stuph! Whutz the painting? Let some particulars already. A grand landscape of the deck and yard? A dashing portrait of the thespian in costume? Maybe of portrait of the prime minister or the Qween?

I have tried 3 times to add a comment and it dissappears. Hello! Does anyone hear me?

I was trying to say that I thought Em would paint a tasteful nude self portrait.

Dear gawd.. .. . . ..... . . . ... . .. . . .. perhaps twenty years ago... ..

Man, some 50th birthday present THAT would be!.. . .. ..I can just hear 'im.......

"Gee... . . . .....thanks".. . . . .....

Worse...can you image the kids' reaction?

There would be no reaction. They are accustomed to being completely embarrassed by me. I would expect them to roll their eyes and walk away, saying, "please just don't hang that near MY room!"

Nothing so patriotic nor personal.. . . .. ..I actually thought about taking a pic of it before it was framed and then posting it, but completely forgot, and I had a helluva time getting it into this honkin' frame.....so perhaps I'll take a shot of it as is. There will be major reflective shine-back.. . . . ...

It is a very tight, close view of a pair of legs and feet in old oxfords, white socks and brown trousers. Behind the two legs are two legs of a stool -- it is a seated man - - and between the two (human) legs sits a trumpet, resting on the floor.....suggestive of a New Orleans jazz player taking a break.

'Tis interesting.. .. . . ...strange.. . . ..odd, vaguely surprising coloUrs... .... . . . .I think DH will stare at it like this.. . . ...

Major reflections eh? I get that problem too. I often take my paintings outside on the deck and face them away from the sun to take pics. Wurks best when it's snot raining. My deck is only in the direct sun early in the day, and afternoon has more indirect light. So I can take pitchurs in the afternoon purty gud. Yeah, I can. I can so. So thar!

This is closer to the way I'd be lookin'.. . . . .... .the one on the right, with the mask on. Surrounding me are Kherrighnne, Patteigh, Jyesss and Rah-shyellle....no, wait, not nearly tall enough - - Leeesargh? Gnick?

I managed to put a pic of my painting up on fb, but cannot get in on here because apparently it is too large. I haven't had that problem before. Does anyone know how to change it to a size that fits onto websites? I'm using piknik. . ......

Jeee Eff, are you on facebook? If so, we are not yet friends. . . . .....if not, get on there!

Thanks! I look good in that painting!

I will seek out Gee Eff. He may be on FB hiding with Angela! ( remember her?)

[curlyfries]

Em! I absolutely LOVE your painting! And I can't see anything wrong with the shoe. But I know how you feel. I am highly critical of my calligraphy and always see something that I am not happy with. I have been told that it's not supposed to be perfect, but it's hard to let it be.

My dad is a painter and he once did an abstract containing various musical instruments. The flautist was holding the flute wrong Now THAT'S unforgiveable, seeing as how that is my instrument of choice.

Oh, I just know this is going to be a hug misteak.

When you are ready for it to come down . . . I know people who can take care of that for you . . . Hell, you know people who can take care of that for you. PM Peoter and he can edit out the link (if it is past your editting window).

BTW . . . did not realize this till now (even though it's in yer name, duh!!!), but I was in your neck of the woods for spring break.

Hello my dear psilles,

Just wanted to let you know I'm keeping up with reading the posts. I have the flu again. At least i finally know why I keep getting sick. It's due to the CLL. My doctor was upset that I didn't go in to see her sooner but I don't want antibiotics or prednisone if my body can still fight off the infection. Evidently that's not the case and I have to go in at the first sign of illness. Now the medical bills are rolling in for all of the tests that weren't covered. Luckily Clark still has pretty good medical insurance. He's extremely stressed about getting a job and the layoff is coming soon. Worse case we'll put our house on the market and move to something smaller. There are a few possibilities and they might actually bring me closer to NJ. We don't need a big house. I just hope we can keep Tony at Brown.

Enough about me. Jess, how's school going? Is everyone else doing all right between flooding and natural disasterss? I miss being online daily and miss all of you even more. I just don't have much energy. But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it). It referred to wanting a "personal relationship" with me, left an email address and when I looked at the profile it was male (although the name was female). Thanks to the moderators for doing such a great job - have to admit it creeped me out.

OK, back to rest. Watched the mini series Mildred Pierce yesterday (all 5 hours) and it was awesome. Today I'm going to watch the original.

Lots of and hugs,

Loey

I'm really impressed!!!!! I'm phailing in my art class. Everyone else is so professional and my work looks like a 5 year old could do it. Will continue because it's relaxing and hopefully I'll improve over time.

Hugs,

Hi, Loweee! Great to read you again.......was wondering how everything is with you....take care o' that phloo!

But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it).

He/she targeted me, as well. Thanks, mods!
