Sarah Jane and Freind

Kathleen David | August 30, 2009

Got Sarah Jane done and ready for the convention. I also cut out the rest of the coats and a few other fiddly bits. Ariel is in Ireland starting her program for a week there. Change of plans today so I have a little more time for one of those crazy ideas that we get [...]

Ariel is settled into her Dorm room so back to Puppets.

Kathleen David | August 29, 2009

Here is where we are this morning.

These 5 are finished and ready to be sold.

And this is where I am with the Doctor Who/Torchwood puppets. I need to gray out part of the Master’s beard and his hair will be done. Now I have to make costumes for these.
I am grateful I am this far [...]

Happy Birthday Sean!

Kathleen David | August 28, 2009

Of course your birthday fell upon the day that I drove Ariel up to Sacred Heart University. But I wish you a Happy One and look forward to seeing you down in Atlanta-land. Sean is my cool hip younger brother who has all kinds of talents and abilities. Better known as Doc Whoopee in some [...]

Getting Ariel ready for College

Kathleen David | August 25, 2009

Ariel is off to college this weekend. The decision was made that it would be me to take her up there and get her set up for a variety of reasons including my ability to play serious tetris with all her boxes and things in the truck.
So yesterday we went and got her a few [...]

RTBTCKI The How much Can I cram into this week edition

Kathleen David | August 24, 2009

First a moment of silence for the Mets who lost on an unassisted triple play. . .Ok that’s enough. Just when you think they could not come up with a more interesting way to lose, they do just that.
Peter and I went to a Long Island Ducks game last night. The Ducks won 13 to [...]

Caroline reviews the Lion King and the Little Mermaid on Broadway

Kathleen David | August 23, 2009

This weekend we had one last family vacation in the city together. It kind of fell together rather quickly on Friday. Caroline and I saw The Lion King on Friday while Peter and Ariel saw Hair. Then on Saturday we all saw the Little Mermaid which is closing at the end of the month. [...]

Yeah, I am going to talk about football

Kathleen David | August 21, 2009

Since preseason games are being aired on TV, I thought I would give my thoughts on the three-ring circus that is the NFL.
I swear that the NFL gets more insane every year. A number of years ago, after a series of incidents with pro football players, the NFL created a code of conduct to [...]

Got a lot done yesterday and took Caroline to the pool to play for about an hour [...]
