Your little crane-making corner is so lovely. Red's (I just accidentally typed "Ed's") my favourite colour, too - especially in furnishings and decor. (I'm now sitting here singing that old Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song that goes, "There's a worn red chair by the window/That we found at a sale down the way/When some old women said that they needed more room for the winter. People like pulling at the stuffing when they sit down/It helps passing the time/Cut the telephone line and the story's the same...") Love, R xxx

Dear Bec,
Thank you for your sweet note. Please don't think your pain is unimportant just because my pain is different. I think you're VERY brave to go back to school. I think you're VERY brave to get up every day and learn something new. Hang in there...this class will end soon and perhaps your next class will light a new flame of excitement in you. If I don't talk to you before...have a Happy Thanksgiving. P.S. Thank you for your prayers.

Hey Becahh - Whole Foods in Ann Arbor carries Achatz pies. They keep changing where the display is, though, so ask if you go in. Whole Foods is on Washtenaw near 23. Last night the Achatz display was near the breads, but last week it was near dairy, lol... they can't seem to make up their minds!

Your words to Miss M touched me more than you may ever realise. I truly wish we could get that message across to all girls: that they can be assertive and strong and kind and witty without resorting to being critical and sarcastic, and that they deserve never to settle for second best, and that there are far worse things in the world than saggy boobs and flabby bellies and crooked teeth. When I was a teacher, I tried to make sure that both female and male students learned not to judge others on how they look - but most especially in those physical areas which they cannot help and have no control over. Yes, surgery might make us all perfect - temporarily, at least, until we needed the next lot to tweak the inevitable effects of aging and, oh, LIFE. Shine on, sister. (And enjoy your painting...) Love, R xxx

I am trying to only consume 1200-1400 calories a day (I am using a food journal to keep track) and drinking at least 8 cups of water. I am also going to try to walk/run at least 2.5 miles a day (that's twice around my neighborhood) five days a week. I am incorporating stretches for my legs and fanny and some small (like 2-5lb) weight work for my arms. I've asked my hubby to blow back up my exercise ball too, so I can use that.

Glad you asked! The standard pencil is probably the Sanford turquoise coloured pencil. Available in any art store. Pencils range in hardness. From www.dickblick.com "Sanford Turquoise Drawing Pencils
Turquoise Drawing Pencils are for professional art, design, drafting, and rendering on paper or vellum. They feature a smooth-gliding, non-crumbling, durable, opaque graphite core, and a hexagonal wood case with an aluminum cap.
They're available in 17 degrees (of hardness or softness) from 6B (softest) to 9H (hardest)." (HB being the middle) Choice of drawing materials also has to do with the kind of stuff they are drawing. (For example vine charcoal is fun to use-but not good for drawing detailed things) Having a decent sketchbook is also a good idea. Maybe a spiral bound one 8 1/2 x 11 to start out. Move him from notebook paper to a heavier weight sketching paper- the texture of the drawing paper catches the graphite better and is for durable for erasing and really working on a drawing. Also a decent pencil sharpener. KUM makes little metal ones from Germany- they are the best I think- and then he needs a white plastic eraser- like Mars brand. All this stuff is available at any art store or online. Any more q's about drawing- please ask-I'd love to help!

Hi. That sucks. But...Don't quit- it will be so hard to finish if you do. You don't want to be a sub. Subbing is worse than taking classes. Start out as a first year teacher after you graduate- then you can start building up your salary. Being a sub will get you nowhere. Eyes on the prize!!

I've been reading your diary and am adding you to my list of faves. I'm pretty sure I found you in Celidor's list of faves (I miss her!)

|

Yeah, I thionk you should call her on it. Not saying anything is like accepting that it's ok to talk about kids like that. Once I heard someone referring to her toddler-aged daughters as "little bitches". I didn't say anything and still feel I should have. It still offends me. I'd be ready for a fight though- if she is abrasive anyway, saying things like that might be her way of starting arguments.

Thanks for the props! :) But... We women will amaze ourselves by what we can do when we have to. When I flew from Tokyo to Hong Kong to visit T, I nearly lost my intestines for sheer worry of everything that could have happened to me and all that could go wrong.
