Surrealism - Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!

Today is the last day of my art appreciation class..hence, this means a final exam. Tomorrow, we do our project presentations..and again, I don't want to feel like a showoff just because my project was done in oil. I know I was raised in the arts (painting, sculpture, music), but it still doesn't feel very good to have people glaring at you because you actually know how to do the technique.

Friday night, Larry, Mary Ann, and I drove down to Hammond to see Dr. Leventhal in The Wizard of Oz. Mind you, Doc was in the pit. What a great and magical show! The Southeastern Louisiana University Musical Theatre/Opera Program did a really great job. The Munchkins (kids on stage) were adorable. The Cowardly Lion was a big hit. I couldn't tell that Scarecrow had any bones. There was a Hocus Pocus reference in there when the 3 witches were chatting. One takes off on a broom, the other revs up her vacuum cleaner and flies. Also instead of melting the witch, this director decided to shrink her. So the full grown witch is pushed into the cauldron, a little witch comes out, and then a puppet is left. Hahaha!

Mark and I have been seeing each other pretty frequently. He is one HANDSOME guy! We are enjoying our times of being around each other, and especially playing Frisbee in the summer sun. I am so gonna get that boy a honey-baked ham for Christmas. :)

Doc is leaving for Europe today with her husband. I do hope she has a great time. I've also printed out some frame-worthy pics for her on photo quality paper. Will put those in her office in a bit. Carillon rehearses all day on Saturday, repolishes and packs the bells on Sunday, and then we leave Monday morn via Continental jet. I know we have like a 5 hour layover in NYC, which is kind of insane. Maybe if it's close enough, Young can come and visit? Wishful thinking on my part maybe, but I really do miss my Young. Scotland here I come! (After having lived in the UK for a year and not been there in 2 years, I cannot wait to set foot again in my homeland. My family is from the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.)

Now, I need to go get ready for this final and other various morning activities. Tara for now!
