it's happening

have you seen the manifest pictures? they're wonderful. i was so pleased to be up on stilts, and while there was still some bad moments of balance, in general it was a delightful experience. hugo and ch and d were all there, looking up at me with their cameras, and i felt so surounded by the love of my peoples. even christopher had to look up to me. it reminded me so much of the parade at the michigan womyn's music festival, when i was on stilts and my friends could be picked out of the crowds with their cameras pointed up at me.

saturday was work at the flowershop, 200 single red roses to wrap up, while ch had 40 centerpieces to make. happy mother's day. it was going really slowly, but then d showed up and she really turned ch and i into a factory and we made great progress until she had to go to her square dance class. while i worked on bags (i have NINE right now! so overwhelming!) she made dinner- i had my arugula to use. and i am not a big fan of arugula. what to do with it? ch suggested pizza, and that's what d made. it was so delicious! i may need to go eat leftovers right now, from thinking about it. i should finish this entry first.
after dinner d and i couldn't focus on bags, so we watched an movie. i made lots of progress on sunday. sunday morning d and i went to the chicago diner for mother's day brunch. even if her son was with his dad, i thought someone should take her for mother's day brunch. so we filled up on vegan delights, then she had to pick up jr and i started working on bags.

we entertained jr with alf dvds- it was pretty funny. was greatful to my dad for burning them for me. d made meatless loaf and sunchokes, and defrosted corn from the farm. she used morningstar farm crumbles, and it was excellent meatless loaf- all the good things of the real stuff and none of the bad things. i was very greatful. i called the costume designer for the movie, and she came over at 2 today. so i had the morning to sleep in. YEAH! it's been awhile, it feels like. she brought barrels and bags of wing fabric, so i have lots of wings to create in the next day or two. i should get my podcasts caught up on, listening to npr and handsewing sequins on to wings. i also need to make a supply list and re-read the script. i better get busy!
