D-day - in a good way

Today I was meeting up with the some of the D's individually. When we meet in a group it's a good time, but often we don't get a lot of catching up done.

My first D date was at Mimi's Cafe. She insisted on picking up the tab and just told me to remember that for when I become rich and famous and she needs a meal. Will do! ;)

Then it was on to visit Mommy D and baby as baby was able to come home Saturday! Upon walking up the driveway I immediately heard and saw their black lab flipping out at the approaching visitor.

I used to puppy sit for their dog and although he may still act like a puppy he is not puppy sized - clearing 100 lbs!

Once things calmed down a bit Mommy D brought baby down for me to hold again. She showed me his tiny fingers and toes and told of more facial expressions and what they mean. But soon it was time for her and her husband to get baby ready for a doc visit. I followed them to the nursery and hung out in the door way as they both started to change baby's diaper.

I was just about to say - Has he gotten you yet? When Mommy D quickly moved her hand to block a stream and her husband's eyes looked my way.

I didn't feel anything - I said, as I looked down at my clothes.

Her husband was sure it went that way.

I looked again and sure enough. My skirt now had a glistening to it. Mommy D said she had looked at that seconds before and thought - Oh! I never noticed sequins on there before.

They were her baby's sequins! ;)

Got cleaned up and met another D for supper at Camille's Sidewalk Cafe. We had plenty of good girl talk!

On my way to South for filming in the Catacombs! The place was "dressed" now with plenty of props and lighting. Only one problem - the longer cable the camera (You can see the camera sitting on the trunk in the left pic) required to reach down the long hallway was frayed on the side that would connect to the monitor so there would be no outside view.

The producer (pictured on his throne - jokingly of course) told the director - You're going to have to trust your camera person. He did. But it was hard.

The makeup trick I learned from this evening is that cocoa and glycerin mixed together can look like elephant manure on a person when applied in a convincing manner mixed with grass. Mmmmm....

Since we'd been off a few days I felt a tad out of it. Not sure how others felt. Time got away from us again - here's hoping we got some good shots!
