    thanks. yeah i feel bad for my dad, although my mom was apparently acting like a grade A beyotch when my sis went by before coming to the theater. my mom acted out when my sis had her reception too...she can't stand not being the center of attention and was just determined to make it all about her. for the past few days she was going on about how she was coming down with something and might not go (even though she felt fine to go shopping sunday lol).

    while i'm a little disappointed they couldn't be there last night, i'm understanding about my dad, but my mom's a whole other story. i'm a little pissed off at her. it's like the one time i ask for support.....ah well, whatever, i'm just glad that the people who do care about me made it!
  • last night went well! despite the fact my parents weren't able to be there i had a good turn out, and it came in waves so it wasn't like there were a ton of people and then they all left lol lots of friends, my boss and her daughter, students from the lab came out too. it really touched me to see everybody there.

    one of my friends is dating someone on the city council, he made an announcement about my exhibition at the council meeting! :eek: he also took a pic of me next to my centerpiece print so he could put in the city newsletter

    overall it was a great experience, i was so anxious and worried too about the weather deterring folks - it was pouring all afternoon but thankfully the rain stopped like at 5:30 and held off the rest of the night! had a late dinner with friends afterwards.

    OMG i feel SOOOOOOO relieved...whew! i'll share pics when i get them from my sis :)




    AWESOME!!!
    can't wait to see pics!
    hope you get some sales...and some BUZZ!
    glad it went sooo well!
    :D

    and sorry about the folks. :(
    dad for his sad news, and mom for apparently being unsupportive. parents can be very funky aat times, just like anyone else i guess. :p
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    yeah my mom was definitely acting out, probably a blessing in disguise she wasn't there, i was in no mood to deal with anybody being pissy....besides me :D haha
