Good News #1: The show looks great! The open house was yesterday, and while nothing has sold yet, they've had lots of interest and the gallery people paid me some really nice compliments. If I can sell just one of the big paintings, I'll have broke even - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's somebody out there not too scared of the bad economy to spend some on a lovely piece of art!Good News #2: As some of you know I had surgery on my finger last week. Sadly it was on my right hand which really bites (you can see me holding it awkwardly in the picture) - I'm really sick of trying to use a fork with my uncoordinated left hand, and I haven't been able to do my hair in a week. Usually in that time I do it at least once or twice. They cut open my finger, went inside the bone and scraped out an enchondroma. I'm kind of an idiot cause I didn't think it was a big deal and thought I'd be back to normal in like 2 days, but lo and behold, my right hand is kind of important and scraping things out of bones is stinkin' painful!! It has hurt like the dickens, whatever that means, keeping me up to watch reruns at 3 AM and moan and groan lots, BUT this falls in the good news category because the nurse called with the results today and it's all good. No malignancy! Just blessed benignness! So yea! But it is hurting quite a bit to type - but the rest of the good news was that the doctor told me I wasn't allowed to wash dishes or change diapers for like a week! Now that's my kind of doctor's note!

I had been waiting to bug you. I figured that no news was good news. I am sorry that it has been so painful when you told me bone scraping I thought that sounded like it would hurt . . . a lot. Love you and call you later this week and check on you.
This is GREAT news is the art work!!! Congrats on getting it all up and hearing good feedback! Let's get some sold!
And, I hope your hand gets better fast! I can't function with a hang nail.
Glad that everything is working out so well - love that you find the silver lining in those clouds!

Congratulations on the show! I am glad to hear the finger is at least a little better. Healing is hard work!
Your finger sounds painful! I'm glad it was benign. Congrats on your art show!
I'm happy about the finger. As soon as it is fully recovered will you be posting funny things that your children do? How about this: if I promise to comment more will you promise to post more?
Yikes about your finger! That's some crazy stuff...but I'm glad everything is ok...and I want to hear an update about the art show...Shaun talks to Cooper all the time but fails to really tell me much of anything that's going on! Hope all is well!
