And I am laughing my butt off about using the pads for a pillow top...omg, I have quite a visual image!{sue}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09266404817244565359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-13314253946703381182008-04-30T17:21:00.000-05:002008-04-30T17:21:00.000-05:00trish--well, you can only imagine what fun the hub...trish--well, you can only imagine what fun the hubs had w/ the irony of giving a speech as helen keller. yes, he was totally rude and politically incorrect and hilarious.<BR/>broad--had we had a skirt and a praire shirt we could have done that but alas, we didn't. we stopped at goodwill after work and got a long, black velvet dress w/ long sleeves and white lace trim/pearly buttons. it looks old. it also looks hot (since tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80s). the girl doesn't have to wear it all day but i'm thinking if it's uncomfortably hot for her for a little while that's her punishment for being so vile this morning. i know, i'm mean.<BR/>kristin--HK really is pretty cool. i've learned a lot about her, more than i realized. the girl is using a porcelain doll as a prop (it was anne's gift to her when she 1st came and the 1st word she spelled into HK's hand--doll) and she's going to spell doll in sign language. <BR/>she's practiced once and if she'd drop the english accent (???) it would be good. i don't think alabama-born HK had much of an english accent.creative kerfufflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645362903422740070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14290006.post-44496655781582457492008-04-30T12:52:00.000-05:002008-04-30T12:52:00.000-05:00Do you know any simple signs?

We read one book and she thinks she was awesome. <BR/>Yeah, I'm with you on the sleepover. I find it odd.

That should be easy - she can just stand up there and pretend she's doing sign language.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040054758910563515noreply@blogger.com
