Wistie just called to tell me she is watching “Funny Girl.” I love, love, love that movie. She said Fanny had just sung “People”. So she said I had to sing it. Now, what is a Mom to do? So I sang it. I think I ruined the mood of the movie, because she had …

We are in the final run through. Now it is the nit picky stuff that can never be nit picky enough! Matching the sounds, the music, the names, the feeling, and lets not forget the story! We are so close I can almost feel that dull ache I felt when my children walked away from …

Tonight we had a recording session with Chris and Mike. They practiced 13 songs they have selected for their music CD. It was fun to listen to them sing together again. It has been a long time. Their voices blend beautifully. I don’t know too much about music, but one of the things I loved …

Ciera is having a late night with like 10 other 13-year-old girls. Pizza, root beer, giggles, games, popcorn and then they started a movie. It wasn’t long before I could hear the haunting and beautiful music from “The Phantom of the Opera.” I can only hear bits and pieces upstairs, but the power behind the …

“I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It’s a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you’re relentless…And it is an investment. Sisterhood means …

This week-end my mother-in-law came to town. She asked about the movie and asked if she could see it. It was fun to have someone sincerely interested in the project, but, seriously now, to have my mother-in-law as one of the first critics? I consented to take her to the office and agreed that she …

I work better in partnership. I am even more convinced of that this week. I am pretty fatigued. Actually, I am beyond fatigued. “What do you want for lunch?” Please don’t make me decide even this most simple request. I don’t know. I don’t care. It is not important. Now where is that picture? That …

When I hear kids whining, or a friend complains too much, often my response sounds like, “Does that usually work for you?” It is funny to watch the person realize they have been caught in the game of manipulation. Even two year olds will try to hide their high five smile, but they aren’t good …

I thought it would be fun to get tickets for Celine Dion. Chris really enjoys her voice. I don’t really like watching her sing. Kind of makes me nuts, but I love her voice. She is coming to Arizona in December. I think, perfect. Just in time for his birthday. I go on line and …

We started the day by reading an article in the Arizona Republic about the project. Let’s get some things straight. 1. I was born and raised in Northern California. Not that being from Arizona is bad or wrong. I just wasn’t born and raised here. 2. There was not any special division between the women …
