The naked tree... in more ways than one!
Sunday afternoon found me in Lancaster County at Frog Hollow Evergreens... where my lovely friend, Maryanne, of Torchsong Studio, lives, makes soap, makes beads, and grows beautiful Christmas trees. It was great to see the inside of her workshop, and she helped me find just the right tree.
Unfortunately, since I'm still trying to get depositions out the door that are a little crusty, I really could only get the tree into it's stand and find it a place in the corner. The kids have been driving me crazy to decorate it, but I just can't do it yet.
So Samantha decided to take matters into her own hands....and decorated the tree herself.......
WITH NAKED BARBIES!!!!!!!!
"O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree.... You're full of naked Barbies! La la - la la , la la - la la, la la- la la, la la-la la"
I guess you could also caption this one, "And last year at Barbie's Christmas party, things got a little out of hand, and that's why we are staying home this year."
And Keith did a nice job putting up a little touch of Christmas. We've had just a dusting of snow...and it seems like winter is suddenly upon us.

Just.....tooooo.....much......pro....cras....ti....nation.....
Okay...I got distracted again and wandered off to la-la land... where I found this:
Touch My Belly
An art project blog... this goofy looking guy pleads with total strangers to touch his belly and let him take a picture of it. He looks positively bored in every picture, and most of them seem to be taken at parties, but his sarcasm and humor really pull the pictures together. Check it out if you have some spare time.

Help! I suffer from DFS!!
Today I self-diagnosed myself with a serious condition called DFS.
DFS is a condition that, if left untreated, can result in.....
well, it can result in many more moments of me almost laughing out loud in the middle of a deposition. This is serious because the court reporter is supposed to draw very little attention to themselves...so a sudden outburst during testimony can really create an upset.
A DFS flare up can occur suddenly without warning and disappear just as quickly. When the afflicted realizes they have had an episode of DFS, the next physiological response is a sudden chuckle reflex that has to be quickly surpressed so as not to interrupt the deposition.
Sadly, I have not found any documentation of just how to treat or cure DFS.
So what is DFS? It stands for Drunken Finger Syndrome.
I found evidence of a DFS flare up in the current transcript I am working on. The phrase was supposed to be, "Portal to portal." To my dismay, a DFS episode caused me to write, "Portal to Fart al" See, it was someone's idea of a cruel joke to design steno theory such that the keys "T" and "P" are next to each other, and to make the "F" sound, you press down the T and P simultaneously. The other misfortune is that your left thumb is used for your two vowels A and O. So at times you may wish to write the words "part", "port", "fort", but your fingers get drunk and include the T or stroke "A" instead of "O"... making TPART, which is "Fart".
On the up side... the laughter you supress during a depo can be made up for at home in the editing process by cracking up when you find it again... that is... hopefully you find it again before it gets sent to the attorneys!!!!! he he he he

Happy Saturday!
Well, I survived the two expedite jobs and got them out within my goals! Now I'm trying to catch up the jobs that had to sit here and get crustier.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel... the glow of my torch...which sits here and stares at me...quietly begging me to please come and light it. I have new frit that I bought at BeadFest...untouched.... I have a cool new Zoozii press that I got from Maryanne in a trade.... untouched.... I have glass for a Round Robin project I need to make into beads... untouched... and I have some nice pinks and a few other lovely colors that I want to turn into lovely samples...untouched.....
Seven jobs remain on my 86 Board... all saying the same thing, "NO BEADS FOR YOU!"
Can you believe it's DECEMBER???????????????
