Frog and Goat

On our walk back from Su Casa (our favorite lunch destination), I found a shiny heads-up dime on the sidewalk. I swooped on it and proclaimed that I was the luckiest girl in the world. I then had to tell the story of finding mucho dinero once when I was a kid. I can’t remember now if it was a $10 or a $20 but I couldn’t have been more than 8 when I found it. It seemed like a lot at the time and, honestly, if I came across one of those bills now I’d feel like little miss big britches.

My parents are on a cruise…The Majesty of the Seas. They embarked yesterday and disembark on Thursday morning. They are in Nassau today and I know this because my mother is sending emails from the cruise ship. I knew she’d turn into a techhead sooner or later.

If you checked out my first attempt at a Flash movie, I know you got a big laugh. I’m working on a “real” movie for Thanksgiving Day. I spent some time yesterday working on the art part of the movie (drawing all the different pieces of the story) and will now figure out how to animate with keyframes and other tricks. While the book I’m using has severe editing issues, it is actually helping me understand how to use Flash and I’m pretty pleased with the way the art part turned out yesterday.

I know we’re a little more than a week away, but stay tuned for a big improvement over my first attempt–which was really ridiculous .

I’m selling stuff on ebay–my seller name is einge68. Stop everything and see what’s hot! Ok, some of those books I have no idea how I got them and some of them I’ve never read. I’ve got about 30 more that I need to put out there–the ones out there now are the lamest out of the pile.

I know, I’m shameless.
