Quite a week
Melody | Friday, 28 March, 2008 at 6:40 AM 
Mornin' ya'll! It's Friday, I'm about to go to the office and then we'll all take a little two-day break. Then things are gonna' get really interesting when, next week, the culmination of months of planning come together in an array of events that promise to be truly memorable.
And as much as it's consumed me lately, and the lives of my colleagues, this doesn't really affect me in the greater scheme of things, that much. Odd. It'll all happen, and it'll be behind us and life will go on. What does affect me are the jewelry designs I worked on yesterday, and that I'm taking them to High Point on Saturday and will leave them in the capable hands of someone I trust will sell some of for me!
Beyond that, what also affects me is that we have a puppy in the house (who may actually come to live here,) and I'd forgotten what high-maintenance puppies can be. For the housemates who might read this, I'm not complaining. There's very little more wonderful than a puppy. This one is no different. She's just doing her job when she does all those high-maintenance things puppies do. I'd just forgotten. All I'm saying.
The other thing I'll tell you in this fragmented, quick, thrown-together hello of a substandard blog entry, is that I got a most adorable voice mail messaage yesterday. The main caller was one specific munchkin. In the background I heard my sister's voice prompting:
Her: Say hello Melody!
Him: He-ooo Memee!
Her: I love you, Melody!
Him: Mmmmmm mmme uhhh MeMEEEE!
Her: Say, we were missing you Melody.
Him: Geeessuuumme memeee dumooooha bu.
Her: Say bye bye Melody!
Him: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Her: Okay, you don't have to say it then.
And apparently somebody took the phone away from somebody else 'cause there was much screeching before the phone went dead.
HOW I love that baby...

That puppy is a little cutie-pie! What a face. What's her name? Where does she come from? Your animal-loving friends want all the details. Give the puppy smooches from me!
The puppy is cute!
I too can say, "How I love that baby!"
He is learning not to hang up on me. Joy said that he wants to play and keep us near-by on the phone. I love to hear him say Nooooooo!!! He doesn't even want to give me a kiss over the phone. He associates that with bye. He will ask for Don: "Pa pa, pa pa, pa pa". I will tell him that he is at work and that seems to satisfy him.
Yes, we love that baby.
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Mom
How cute is he! I just love that baby too. the puppy is too cute also, what face.
Hello Melody,
I went yesterday to the Between the Lines, Innovation in Art, Architecture, and Design" is a free symposium to be held on the campus March 27-29. It's kinda interesting. You know I'm just getting interested in design and certainly need to make my powerpoints better.
Here are two webs I think you would enjoy:
Smashing Magazine
On my Desk- Maybe we will see yours soon.
Have you checked out Presentation Zen yet or Garr Reynolds.
I've not hear back from GTCC to see if they want me to faciliate. Ummmmm..
Cheers,
Lisa
P.S. Have you got your taxes done yet? Me of course not it's not ADD time.
I just showed this post to the baby in question. He said "Swing! Swing! Swing!" And I had to disappont him witht he news that it is raining and we can't go swing. :( He's looking forward to seeing oyu today, though!

All my children have paws (I read that on a bracelet somewhere) so you know that adorable puppy brought out the aaaawwws. The curly-topped one is adorable too! You are very lucky! :)
Let's see. First the puppy: her name is up in the air. There's rules about naming puppies in this house. First, it has to be a 2 syllable name. Second, the name can't end with a "y" sound (that's for cats, not dogs.) What else? Oh, I don't know...it's just taking some time. Among the most recent contendors: "Lola," "Abby" (against the rules, but somebody really likes that one, "Harper," and so many more I can hardly remember. She doesn't 100% live here yet, because the private foster agency that's placing her in a home doesn't place puppies until they're "fixed," and that'll happen soon enough - but apparently she can come visit for long visits before she's officially a member of the family? Emma The Dog seems to enjoy her company, and that's the biggest factor in the interest in having a new puppy - so Emma can have a new friend.
Re the baby: well, actually there's nothing more to say, 'cept yea, he's very adorable, thanks, and very well loved. I just posted a LOOOONG entry about His Highness a few minutes ago, so anybody interested can just read on (and on and on.)
Lisa, thanks for sharing the links. Good luck with your projects!
Cheers all!
