I've now gotten three auditions for GEE - none of them quite get it, but I had a devil of a time picking the three pages - it's hard to know what to give them - so I gave them the meeting with her future husband from part one, and then the final scene of the book on the bus. The last one isn't right for this but I'm going to ask her to read the Adriana sides. The middle audition was the best of the three and that gal is very experienced. But she has the same problem as one of my actors in LA Now and Then - the New Jersey "s" - so every "street" is "shtreet."

Guess I'll go pick up yesterday's package. Not sure what to do about food - don't want to make anything here, that much I know.

While I was arranging her cage, she got out. She wants to play with Annabelle, and Annabelle is quite delighted with her. Thatch seemed to be afraid of her and he's gone into hiding.

I am glad she and Annabelle are getting along well.

Vibes Thatch adjusts and also begins playing with her.

Stella is very cute.

Been trying to clean a little house. Not easy with a bird who wants to play instead.

Stella and I played a few rounds of Thatch's ball game, but when I picked her up to put her back into her cage, he hissed and spat at me. She and Annabelle seem to be fairly friendly, and she keeps trying to touch Annabelle. Annabelle sat on top of the cage and watched her for a bit, but I'm not going to Stella roam free until I know Thatch is comfortable. He's been hiding under my bed since she confronted him, and he's refusing to acknowledge any of my usual calls to him. Usually, when I say "Thatch, want to lie down with Daddy?" he's immediately on the bed next to me. When I call "Thatch, you want some dinner?" he's right there. Not today.

I would have been surprised if he had jumped on the bed next to you.

Around noon, just as Keith finished grouting our bathroom Craig called, perfect timing. We had a nice long chat. Then we went for a long walk along the river and over to the market for a few ingredients Keith needed to make our dinner.

The weather has been perfect today making for an extra lovely Mother's Day.

Back from picking up packages and getting McDonald's for the quick and easy meal.

Listening to musique de Jean-Michel Damase. I love this guy and wish there were more out by him. Lots of stuff on YouTube that I've been grabbing.

I have never met anyone who is able to say that name without doing their Stanley Kowakski impression

Well my SIL's parents and sister all sent their meals back ( as they have everytime we've ever dined out with them)

My SIL sat next to me then proceeded to cough out a lung or two, as usual

My mother complained about the noise level in the unsurprisingly full restaurant and her inability to hear anything

My SIL's sister and father got into an argument over whether a YouTube video if a ghost walking through a cannon was real

M SIL tried to convince me that Shakespeare was just a front for a Danish musicians daughter who really wrote all the plays

So things pretty much as expected

He always does. He's quite smart and he recognizes a lot of English words. He's more like a puppy with me than a cat.

Exactly! My neighbor Judy suggested it. I had been thinking of Megs, but she is more a Stella, and certainly not a Vince Noir. I can't wait for our court photographer ChasSmith to photograph her.

Thatch did come out of hiding around 8:00, then vanished again. I hope he'll crawl in bed with me later. He usually sleeps with me every night. He's my little guardian angel.

My filet mignon was perfect...as were my green beans almondine and my mashed taters

Also unusually for me I ordered dessert...what they called a chocolate souflette....it was a chocolate lave cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup and I ate every crumb

I almost didn't adopt her. I filled out the application, and then said I'd pass. Then I got all neurotic and thought, if I leave here, I'll always regret not following through. She was so cute, and a much better choice for the apartment and A&T than a puppy.
