Sno Cone of Luv

For those of you who have been pregnant, it's okay to hate me when I write the next part. So I had yet another appointment yesterday and all is well. The specs: BP low as always, weight down two pounds which puts me back in the negatives overall, 2-3 cm dialated and 60% effaced. I know some of you don't need the #'s details, but there are enough of you who ask me that it's just easier to put it up.

As for questions about the painting in Bootsy's room: Yes it is "On Iowa." The top staff is my part, or well a bastardized version combining the three different versions I played because that's what I ended up playing last year. The bottom staff is Brandon's part straight. So we get a little treble and a little bass clef action going on. In order to do the music, we taped the horizontal lines (thank you Brandon) and painted those. Then the crazy math person in me measured the room and divided it up equally so each measure was the same length and taped off the measure lines. Next, I did have a stencil for the music note head. I went around the room just drawing the circles on with a pencil in the right spot so I wouldn't have to think when painting them. Everything else (filling the holes, note lines, accents, sharps, flats, dynamics, and other markings are all free hand.

The mural itself was free hand as well. When we went to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame a few years back, we saw a stamp set that had those pictures. We bought it and I just used the image from the set to see what the instruments looked like and drew them up there. Again, overall I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
