Today is BC Sandy’s birthday and I hope it brings TONS of fun and joy to you my friend. I Sooo enjoyed our walk and talk duet episode last Friday.

Happy Birthday to you my friend. This decade is GREAT! and so are you. xoxoxoxox

In that episode I featured a birthday song for Sandy. You can hear it again here.

Yesterday

As part of our house beautification, Mark replanted our “Secret Garden” at the top of the stair. (Moi is a plant serial murderess who killed the prior garden with neglect. )
It made me Soooooo depressed to see these pitiful, poor dead plant victims every time I descended from my bedroom down into my day.I begged Mark for mercy and to teach me his wise ways of plant care.

Here is the wonderful result.

Here is the ‘secret garden’ located at the top of our stairs that sweetie Mark just recreated for me . Of note, this tiffany hanging lamp is my miracle lamp. I can’t remember If I told that story, but I will next show. Every time I see this lamp it reminds me to take action and ‘expect the impossible’.

View of our ‘secret garden’ as you turn the stair corner and come up to the second story of our house.

Sooo glad the house cleaning is DONE DONE DONE Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyaaaaayyyy! I know, I know, the house will need cleaning again. Just like you can’t diet down to a certain weight, say “I’m done” and then pop right back to your old eating habits and issues without the weight popping right back up too, the house needs regular upkeep. For today though, “I’m DONE!” I literally can take a day off without turning my house into a mortifying dusty house of horrors again. BUT I am committed to “House Maintenance”.

Good thing we had a clean house too. Mark’s relatives gathered here yesterday prior to going to a family event. I was here part of the time, but had to bow out early for my voice acting class. Most of these relatives I had not ever met, and I was glad first impressions weren’t going to be framed by dust bunnies making it impossible to lay the baby down and junk laying around for kids and elders to trip over. One of the fun events of the day, is that I practiced my voice acting for the kids, and they laughed and felt I did well. I had them help me with my homework, by doing my parts in character and having the kids tell me when my voice was going ‘out of character’. They also enjoyed learning about animation scripts and laughed when I also practiced by watching some “Sponge Bob Square Pants” and imitating every character and sound that came on screen. (for voice placement practice).

Mark’s family went off to their event with Mark. I cleaned up the snacks he’d put out and went off to class.

Voice acting

I had so much fun, and improved a lot. Unfortunately, as I suspected, I can’t put these takes in the show, though I CAN possibly add them to a blog as separate example files. So I might let those of you regular blog readers hear one of my acting adventures in video game and animation in future.

Today

REST DAY, Hallelujah!
