RTBTCKI Busy Friday before the Weekend Edition
Posted By Kathleen David on October 7, 2011
First I want to THANK YOU ALL!!!! Shana’s project is funded! Thank you for all your social networking help getting the word out there and, of course, the money that was pledged. This is a wonderful thing and you have done a great service to a couple of really great kids.
Quite a bit to do before the end of the day. Ariel is coming home for the weekend so there are things that need to be done to get ready for her. The project that ate my brain is in full swing but about to be paused for New York Comic Con which starts a week from today.
Caroline joined a bowling league this week and next week two other afterschool activities start up so she is going to have a busy fall. It is nice that she has these other things to do.
We went to the mall yesterday to pick up our copy of Lion King and went by the Apple store. There was a very nice shrine to Steve Jobs. There were notes from people and some flowers and candles. Most of the notes were something to the effect of thank you to Mr. Jobs for how he changed our lives.
Today is pretty much mapped out. Tomorrow is too. Sunday seems a little more flexible. Monday is Columbus Day so the girls have off from school.
Also the turn signals are out on the truck so we are taking it to our auto guy. I am figuring it is a fuse since both sides just went out. I tried to replace it but no luck however the fuses there are over 20 years old at this point. So we are down to one vehicle until it is solved.
This morning Fig hid inside a bag and ambushed Millie who has one incredible vertical leap when scared. Fig then went back into the bag and did the same thing to Vanillie who wandered by next. Stalin is having none of it. He is on a cushion off to the side watching the shenanigans of the other three. Currently Fig is on my shoulder right now watching me type this.
I am thinking about making a Dragon and a Tiger or Lion to show at NYCC. These will both be dolls with a little steampunk thrown in the mix.
There are some things that I have to think about. Not all the news that comes through the door is good news and now I need to figure out how to deal with what is coming through the door. But that’s life. You take the good with the bad. And when you find yourself knocked down, you pick yourself up and dust yourself off and figure out what is next. It took me a long time to learn that. I think that and everyone is not going to be your friend were two of the hardest life lessons I had to learn.
Project Runway is confusing me this year. One episode I like it and the next I am really not into it. Also some of the judging and producer decisions have been just screwy.
I am grateful for good news.
