The Vixter is in the ensemble for for her high school production Thoroughly Modern Millie she had to supply her own costumes (and she needed 3 differnt ones) fortunately I had in my possession 2 actual 1920's dresses that belonged to my sister-in-laws grandmother that fit the Vixter perfectly but the 3rd had to be a flapper outfit

We visted a local Good Will and found a red dress with the correct hem length and boxy shape and bought yards of 4" red fringe and (since I do not possess a working sewing machine, nor do I now how to use one) I handstiched the fringe to the hem and the neckline which took several hours)

Thursday she brough he costume in for approval and was told it was beautiful but that only Millie was allowed to wear red in that scene so she needed new one... apparently several of the girls had come with red outfits so I do not think the that the director had made that condition plain ... if it had been only Vixter who had missed it would have blamed her for not paying attention

SO Thursday night we visted the Good Will and found another dress and then went searching for fringe and searched and searched and searched

Friday morning I started calling fabric stores in the 15 mile radius and FINALLY found one that had several yards of 4" black fringe so afterwork I zipped over and purchased and which I was stiching to the dress yesterday from 10 PM until 3 AM this morning since she needed it for the dress rehearsal today at 9 AM

So I was up at 3 AM when the waters began to invade... so that was actually a good thing as I was able to "dam" the problem areas with our "basement towels" and start the dehumidfier and move items from harm's way.. so - so far so good!

Oh, DR Vixmom, I'm sorry about your basement!

vixmom · « **Reply #213 on:** March 08, 2008, 07:22:33 PM »

Actually we are doing allright ... we do get leakage problems in heavy rains but bwing able to dam areas and move stuff ina timely fashion was a stroke of good luck that avodied any loss of stuff....

(we need a good purge here as well)

DR vixmom, it seems to me the person in charge of the vixter's production should have been more on top of notifying the parents on what was needed for costumes, I'm sorry you've had needless work and errands.

I've lost my tv remote! Ihave no idea where the fat hell I tossed it this afternoon. I've been looking for an hour now, and I'm certain it's in an obvious place. If it were my cell phone I could dial the number and listen for the ring, but I'm stymied. Oy!

This was/is a crazy weekend for Vixter... rehearsal for 4 hours after school yesterday and she was also particpating in The 30 Hour Famine http://www.30hourfamine.org/ with her Church youth group

They stopped eating at noon yesterday and didn't eat until after 4 PM today

After rehearsal I picked her up and she went to area businesses to collect donations for the Famine unbtilthe rains began
thenm home to shower and change and then to the church for an all night LockIn

then I picked her up and dropped her for rehearsal .. while I went and helped unload THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES from the delivery truck into the GS Leaders' car

Do you have a recliner? I lost mine last week and it turned out to have fallen down inside the recliner when I leaned back....

Or did you check to see if you accidenlty bagged it during thelast round of cleaning?

After rehearsal and I collected Victer and we went to the local supermarket where we joined other kids from her youth group and to ask for donations of food and $$

One of the dad's and a few of the teeange boys stood at one entrance to the market while I had the Vixter and 2 other younger girls at our entrance

I guess hungry little girls staning in the rain are more pitiful than hungry tall teenage boys because the girls collected a full supermarket cart full of canned goods and $153 to the boys 1/2 cast and $72

After several hours of begging we packed up and deposited kids cans and $ tot he church for counting, sorting and feeding and I went to the GS Leaders house and picked up the cookies!!!

They are all in the back of the car still. Hopefully the rain will stop tomorrow and I can unload them all and get them shipped out to everyone

after church, sunday school and the basketball playoff game that is

The GS were selling cookies in front of Starbucks this morning. It was so cold that people took pity on them and they sold a lot of cookies!

Actually it was a blessing in disguise because otherwise I would have been asleep and not able to catch the basement waters in time

Tomorrow night: WHEN WEATHER CHANGED HISTORY at 9pm est on the Weather Channel covers the 1927 Great Flood. I saw some of this show when it was dubbing and it looked really well-done, if you like watching natural disasters.

Vixmom----don't watch! You're already having your own Great Flood! (Or maybe it's just a Pretty Good Flood.)

BASEMENT VIBES TO THE FAMILY OF VIXMOM! I went through this earlier in the week, though more than likely NOT on your scale. . .at least my basement no longer has that acrid musty smell. . . .

First Michael Parks then Michael Burns! Has there ever been so much peek-a-boo male nudity on HHW in a single day? ? ?

Tonight, for the first time in almost thirty years I got to watch the original theatrical version of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. It is the only version that has ever made me cry; and it did it to me again tonight.
