A good thing I didn't plan to go to the 'Breakfast with Santa' down the street at the Resort hotel with R&L and the kids. Rich snored so badly last night I had to get up and sit in the lazy boy. Even with his mask it was hopeless... the mask leaked and sounded like a trumpet. It wasn't his fault and this doesn't happen all the time, but last night was awful. So, I didn't get up this AM till 9:30AM....not bad considering I went to sleep at 3:30AM.
I've started. I actually brought down a few decorations from the attic. I washed all the Christmas dishes and crystal, and I am getting ready.
Lissa and Brooke treated me to a wonderful performance of the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes' Christmas show today at the Norfolk Scope arena. The Rockettes are delightful to see. Brooke was impressed and said it the best show she's ever seen ...and she's been on this earth a little more than 7 years so she knows a good show when she sees one. ;-)
The DVD version has a nice opening presentation, but YouTube doesn't upload DVDs. This version does have all the sound and content. SKC, I hope you can view it. BTW, I read in the Pensacola News Journal online that Patrick Madden is retiring from SHH ...looking forward to discussing same with you...another lay person and a woman (yay) at the helm...hmmm. If you watch the whole video (less than 5 minutes long)...be sure to note the credits and see that the studio still has the logo carrying the name of the famous J Wellington Cat.
Determination kept gnawing at me, and I finally made a movie. Well it sure is primitive alright, but it's a movie. I used the MAC iMovie application and taught myself mostly thru trial and error. I combined some basketball video of Brooke...she's the little girl in white with medium to long hair....the only one wearing pink shoes.....she's her own person that's for sure, and she was just 6 years old during these games.
Last night I called Brooke to tell her I was getting calls from the North Pole. Apparently the elves are trying to get ideas for gifts. In particular they wanted to know what small item she would like that would fit in her stocking. I asked her if she was still into 'Webikins' and she immediately replied "I love Webikins and Littlest Pet Shop".
Got to the eye doc for an eye exam so I could get more contacts. They wouldn't re order them when I called the other day because it was more than a year since my last exam. I've had other eye exams, but not for contacts since '07. I'm tellin' ya they have more ways to make money. I was there on time for my 2:45PM and didn't get seen till 3:45PM. I was afraid I wouldn't get back home in time to meet Rich so we could go over to Norfolk to see the kids in their costumes.
Never heard back from the 'Product Specialist' at Apple. Not a good sign. Guess I'll have to call tomorrow.
It was good to be back in the studio. For one reason or another Lindsay (teacher) and I couldn't meet for a class over the past few weeks..
Pretty day today. Didn't do much. Had a nice long telephone chat with my God-child niece Rosemarie. I think we covered the waterfront so to speak.
