Let's try that again...

As you know, I am building props for the theatre. The TONY AWARD winning theatre, here in Atlanta. I am not typing out it's name because I believe that there are those that have google alerts on it, so they'd be notified if I were to write about it. Just remember what it's called form last Christmas, 'kay? It's not a big deal, except, I don't exactly know the rules on posting props for the upcoming shows.

This is a stove that I cleaned (I scrubbed the muck like nobody's business!!) and then painted. Mr. Busypants with the big wig saw it and said that it was magically delicious!!

And this is a table that I built from scratch! Well, I didn't turn the legs. They came pre-turned. But I did cut the skirting and made a bead line and put the whole thing together including the top which I planed biscuit joined. And then I finished it to look like this:

Which is a lovely Jacobean stain with exaggerated distressing, so that it is visible from the audience. Two men have to stand on my table and one will also die on it. He's getting buckshot to the chest. I'm making the blood, too!! As well as collard greens, cornbread, lima beans and pigsfeet!! I'm also making the "superprop." The origami boat--the one made from the bill of sale when the character was sold as a slave.

Who, besides Fancycwabs, knows which play it is? Come on. Any guesses? If you want, I can list more props and see if you can get it. It'll be fun!

We're also working on another play by the came author. I'm making the superprop for that one, too.

I was going to post, but I can't insert photos. I have photos to insert. What's the problem. I'll try again later, because I know that you are jumping up and down in anticipation.

I've been nudged.

I've been really busy, sorry, I've been out of sorts. But enough about me. How are you? I'll go have a look around.

I was browsing around and came across this little gem. Of course, I thought of our dear friend, Fanghopper.

Sorry...

I've been having fun here:

http://acrosstheuniverse.forumotion.com/index.htm

For anyone who may enjoy discussion of music, films, art, literature, etc. These are some happy wankers.

Here's where I tell you it's my birthday and expect birthday wishes.

2008-05-16T11:41:55Z

A friend donated a flock of chicks in my name for Heifer International. Isn't that cool? I didn't know that you could donate chickens. I thought it was only goats and cows.

My girls are having the morning arguement.

I need to run around and make sure the money spent on my birthday presents doesn't cause checks to bounce that went to pay bills. WOO!

I have a lovely new drivers license. Wanna see my picture?

Don't I look excited to be renewing my license? YAY!! It only took 5 minutes!! Too bad that gas prices are too high to afford to drive anywhere.

I just saw a coyote with my bare eyes! I sure did!

I was walking the doggie and it crossed the street a little ways in front of us (is that good luck or bad luck?) from between Puppy's house and what Tim and I refer to as the crack house, although, it's cleaned up now and the 12 children that lived there before have long since moved away. The coyote disappeared into the woods. It was skinny. And I believe it was a girl (I didn't see it's little thing hanging down...see previous entry "Funny Story?").

Good thing my kitties don't fancy outdoors, except for the occasional outing for grass to thow up inside.

Guess who is going to go see Kids In The Hall when they hit Altanta?

Funny story?

Yesterday, my older daughter got a postcard from a friend who'd been to the beach in Florida. The post card was of doggies wearing sunglasses and sunhats. My daughters are very, very aware of the gender of animals. "It's a boy, because you can see his thing hanging down." So, both my girls were discussing the dogs on the postcard, this one looks like Jessie only, it's a boy, etc. There's this pug on the card.

"It's a girl, she's had puppies."
"How can you tell?"
"She has those things."
"What things?"
The little one points, "those things to nurse the puppies."
"Oh, they're called nipples."

giggle, giggle, giggle...

"I thought they were called 'thingamaJUGS.'"

huh?

I had to locate my highschool diploma and fax it over to the HR department for the props job that I think I already have. ??? Do you know where your highschool diploma is?
