good news/bad news
The good news: Yesterday I received a call from the Queen Lord Goddess of Awesomeness (leader of all things administrative and keeper-tracker of kids) at Ruby's school to tell me that someone had dropped out of the full-day kindergarten class for next year, so Lyra is in. Glory Hallelujah! Although we had been looking forward to pocketing the money we've been paying to her preschool every month, we will now gladly hand it over to the St. Vrain Valley School District just to have 6.5 hours of child-free time 5 days a week. Yes, Colorado has the weird half-day kinder system where, if you want your 5 year old to go full-day, you have to pay for it. In Boulder it is even stranger because there is a lottery to get into full-day. Here it is just first come, first served.
The bad news: Mr. Man and I decided that I would take the girls to Ruby's School District art opening and he would meet us there. I would leave from there to go to Boulder to hang my stuff at OZO. But guess what I did not know? Ozo closes at 6pm. I arrived there at 6:15pm to find the place locked up tight. So I will attempt to hang my photos today in between Lyra's drop-off time and Ruby's pick-up time. And guess what else? It's fucking snowing right now. Well, actually it is a snow/rain mix, but still. If only I had been able to do it yesterday, when it was 80 degrees and sunny. Now I have to schlep all these framed prints around in this "wintery mix" to borrow a meteorology-geek phrase.
Wait, hold the phone. I just looked outside and it is just snowing. No rain, only snow. ALOT. Fuck. And it is sticking, too. Happy May Day, ya'll! And tonight Ruby's school has a musical program which involves her twirling a ribbon around on stage while some other first-graders sing. There is an "Ocean" theme. She wants to wear her swimsuit. It all seemed so possible yesterday.
Moving on. Here are some photos from last night art show.
Ruby's Sunflowers
Above and below are some pieces which caught my eye at the show. These are from some local middle & high school students.
This collage is amazing! It is life-sized!
Wish me luck for getting my pieces safely onto the walls of OZO today.
current weather conditions. Gah!

I can't believe that snow! I went out at lunch today and it was a sauna here. If we could mix my weather and yours, shake them up in a martini shaker and pour, do you think we'd each end up with a perfect cocktail of a day?
I like Ruby's sunflowers, but her American Gothic is still my fav.
lisa, you can do it you can do it you can do it!
