fake husband

so really, there truly is this man named max who i am going to marry next friday. really. he does exist. it is just that i cant get him to remember things, like writing on this here blog. which frankly, continues to make this a one woman show. which is just fine with me.

life has sped up considerably since school ended. lots of work to do before next friday. BECAUSE I AM GETTING MARRIED NEXT FRIDAY. oi vey. totally nervous about everything. but i did manage to get the flowers, finally. did you people know that mini-gerbs existed? too cute. and i will be having them. in many shades of pink. who knew that i would be having such a girlie wedding? and for those of you who know me, you know how i react to presents. nowadays i find myself screaming at least once a day. it is pretty great.

and the sklar/brown household would like to welcome michigans very own ry-boy mcclure to the fray. he is mystic ave's newest and youngest resident. unless you count the bunny, that is. it is one full house. minus uncle jesse.

ciao until next time, or until maxilla gets it together,

whew

ok, i am not dead, but i certainly feel like it!
today is my final review for studio. the big one, as we like to call it. i cant remember the last time i was awake for this long. since 8 am, wednesday morning. oof. however, i got some kick ass drawing done, a little watercolor and one mean design concept statement written. perhaps i can snow them once again?
here is hoping i actually stay awake for my presentation. i can almost see it now....

reviewer: so ms. sklar, i think you might need to re-think your entire design. it has soooo many flaws, blah blah....
me: um..o...k....zzzzzz
r: ms. sklar? um, is she actually.....ms. sklar?

yes, that is how it could take place. more later!

and if you havent noticed we are now adding max to the fray. i will force him to post soon.

smooches

full circle

well, i am back. i have been back since monday evening, but i have had nary a moment to update this ol' blog here. let me just say, until may 22, my writing on this little space in the internet may be a bit sporadic.
whew. what a week. not only am i on the edge of all sanity in terms of school and family, but i have a wedding to make fabulous! and fabulous it is going to be. i am so excited, i can hardly contain myself. everyone is getting their assigments. it is all coming together. i am talking lemon cucumber water people. we may be poor, but it is going to be one classy wedding. i cant wait to hear the music, see the decor my mother has planned. OH MY GOD! i am officially getting married in one month.
i also wanted to report on one of the cutest 12 year old kid type people i have ever met. she is a student of mine. and evidently practices so much in the house, her parents want to have voice lessons twice a week. she hates the war and gets in verbal fights with kids at school because they "only believe that their stupid parents tell them to" and she is continuously frustrated with people her age who dont seem to care about what is happening in the world. she has a voice like an 18 year old. she listens to every word i say. she is excited by opera. this girl is totally awesome. who knew i could actually love this job. today i had to teach four lessons and at the end of the lesson i was totally shocked that a half hour was up. i have never felt this way about a job.
