The Princess and the Frog
This is so cute, and reminded me of The Princess and the Frog fairy tale . . . there are three bright, colorful pictures, magical and fun, that could be purchased together in a threesome, or individually, because each one, would lighten up any wall, especially, in some little princess of yours, bedroom!
I Have Only Had Four "C's" In My Entire School Career
This picture reminds me of my first "C" grade, I had ever had, that was both, funny and tragic to me. I had a communications class, as a sophomore at Bountiful High School, Bountiful, Utah, and we had to give a speech, long before, I became adept, at public speaking, now, I can speak to thousands and not blink an eye, nor prepare, and going into court, was like, where is my audience? Court was a step down for me, having spoken to full states public employees, or governor's conferences, statewide accountants, and being the keynote speaker, for 1300 kids, interested in a profession in the medical field. So, to give, those of you, who fall into the category of, having the most common fear, of all, public speaking, are not alone, this little story, brought to my mind, the catacombs of my memory, and dusted off the cobwebs, reminding me of my very humble roots, as a public speaker. So, I was given a speech assignment, and as I pondered on what to give a speech on, my baby sister, Tiffany's, bean bag, frog, was laying on the floor in front of me, and that reminded me of a story, I had read her, The Princess and the Frog, and I decided, since, I believe, it was close to Valentine's Day, that a romantic story, of finding true love, that I too, have longed for, my whole fucking life, but, not a swearing person at that time, decided this would be fun, and a change from, some of the boring topics the teacher had been disgusting, like, the Mei Lye, Massacre that took place during the Vietnam War. Needless to say, the teacher was not amused, nor entertained by my props, and antics.
The roots of the clown, where starting to show, as early as this class. I started tell the story of the beautiful princess, searching for true love, and her knight in shining armor, and how she wandered into the forest, and sat by a small pond, and while I sat, acting out the story, as if it were a play, reminding you this was a speech class, not a theater class . . . but, I secretly, tied, the bean bag, frog to my ankle, and as I was leaving the pond and the sitting position, as in the story, the frog, attached to my ankle, appears, and shows up, just right, for the frog, wearing a crown, to yell to the princess, before she leaves, to come kiss him, and he will turn into a prince. The class, busted up into hysteria, laughing, pounding the desk, and cracking up, over, seeing this rather dead, looking toy, although green and in the shape of a frog, tied to my ankle under my, stylish, long, empire or granny dress, that day. And as I denied, that a frog, could be a prince, nor my true love, playing to the audience and taking, editorial license, in amping up the dialogue, between the princess, me, and the frog, the class, nearly lost control, with me, also, getting out of control, trying not to laugh, during my very romantic, interlude with the frog. As I was enjoying the attention, the joking and fun atmosphere, I glanced over at my very, no, nonsense speech teacher, probably thinking I was making a mockery of her class, and noticed, that she was not laughing at all! LOL! So, I wrapped it up and concluded, turning the frog into a prince, with just one little kiss! Just one kiss, and you'll be mine, a one track mind . . . rock lyrics!
A cruel and shocking act . . . giving me a "C!" when everyone, enjoyed my speech so much! I was not laughing when I got my grade! LOL! Funny now, but, depressing then. That was not my final grade, just one of several speeches, but I got serious really fast . . . later went on to debate, not taking it a whole lot more serious, but, being more selective on my subject matter! Crazy ass, even back then! LOL! The thing that makes it even more funny, and I was just reminded, and remembered, my teacher's name, I believe, although, I tried to block it from my mind, after that grade, but, I have another negative connotation with her name, NOW . . . Ms. Buttars! Kay Burningham Brown Buttars! Scream, then, my friend, now, a total emissary, or enemy! Forged, and got credit, with others, have to have multiples to confuse and protect, the bitches from discovery and prosecution, all under my name, but with 6 brains, coming out of my head! Very interesting Watson! For the intellectually curious, I got a "C" as a junior in Chemistry, and also, a "C" as a freshman, in a premed Physiology calls at Utah State University, and luck to get that . . . Shelley is the biologist, I am into the HUMANITIES! I also, got a "C" in a communications class, for a similar reason, not, doing what the professor told me, and I was straight "A" by now, but I was told that I was to present an oral rendition of an annotated version of a poem, and again, being the housewife, going through college, and close to a Christmas, I decided to present, for this children's literature class, my great-grandmother's poem, called, Old Santa Claus! I was pissed that, 10 years or so, later, I made the same mistake, and this time, I was much more into being the perfect student, Honored Humanities, Outstanding English Major! SCREAMMMM, but I ended up getting an "A" out of the class, as I did in all classes at that point in my college career.
These 3 paintings . . . not really created with paint, but every artist, has their signature, she would not let me reveal, her secret, for making these fun pictures, but, that is something for you to ponder on, but, they look a bit, crazy right now, because, they are leaning in the window, behind glass, of the office at the Poverello, but if you can, be part of her solution, make an offer, and she won't refuse.
If You Have a Money Problem, and You Have Money . . . You No Longer Have a Problem!
Clinton, The Gay Guy Who Had His Book Banned, Is Going to Be On a National Gay News Program and Interviewed. While Gays, Now Have the Right to Marry Whom They Love, That Doesn't Mean that People, Understand, Accept, Or Still Don't Discriminate Against These PEOPLE!
I ought to finish, a blog off, that was originally, going to teach people about there rights, found, mainly in the United States Constitution, and the 14th amendment, is the biggie for discrimination, can't deny, due process and equal protection, due to age, race, religion, sex or gender, disability, and I am going to add, weight! Just this morning in the Missoulian, there was an article, coming out of Governor Bullock's Office, extending, anti-discrimination to include, again, gender, pregnancy, and something else, and every day, in the classified, somewhere, there is an anti-discrimination, text box and reminder to people, landlords and employers, that they can't discriminate against people!
Anyway, several web addresses for more information, on Clinton, and his book, plus the news program he will be speaking at, I will post, if I can. I just want to say, in closing, and ending on a very, evolved, just with this one man, Clinton, out of all the people, in the Poverello, staff included, Clinton, is probably my very favorite person . . . didn't start that way . . . and exposure is everything, and I would say, half the Pov. residents feel the same way, he is a kick, into civil rights, smart, fun, entertaining, cute and always happy, and some trucker dude, called him, Twinkle Toes, this morning . . . he rolls with what God and life have dealt him, and he is cool as hell!
