Did I say, "Wheeeeeeeee"???

I think it just changed to, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

My painting class starts back up today... Good times are sure to be had.  I was also supposed to be starting a true beginners class tonight so people who need (and want) a lot more assistance and direction could get the time and attention they deserve. I always feel bad (for any number of reasons) for the true beginners who end up in the regular class. Most end up not coming back. My boss and I felt offering an evening class for true beginners might bring in a different crowd. As of last week, enrollment was ZERO!! I wasn't surprised. Sometimes a class needs to be in the books for a session or three before enough people happen upon it, or before schedules mesh.

As of this morning, I had still not heard whether it was officially canceled, or if through some painting magic, we had the needed minimum of 8. They were supposed to call and let me know. I finally called them, pretty sure the answer must be no... or they would have called!! Right??

WRONG!

I have class tonight. They did not get the minimum, but because they love me, they're going to let it run with 3, and hopefully we can build from there. I have nothing planned... and am I planning? No, it appears I'm writing a blog post.

my clients never understand when I delay their work for a blog post either. people are SO unreasonable.

[Jennifer]

I plan on planning during my first class. :)

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I should plan for the Robotics meeting tonight, also; but I never do.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

ooof. Which reminds me; I better print out the Game Manual....

[blue girl]

Good luck and have fun, Jennifer!!

[Laura]

Oh how fun! (had to tone down my excessive exclimation points so that this will actually post for me but believe me, there were a few more after fun)

I so wish I lived near you. I am a true beginner in every sense of the word and would LOVE to learn. Especially by someone like you- cool, fun and funny!

The only thing about "true beginner" classes is when some jackass who already knows a bit shows up. That happened to me in a crochet class. I think that I was the only one that really knew nothing.

Have fun tonight! :)

((Hugs))
Laura

Could one of you planners plan my next blog post for me?

It's cold and raining, so I don't want to leave the camera out by the bird feeder...

Will you make all the beginners buy berets?

[Laura]

and wear big moustashes?

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I think perhaps the STANDARD class should be wearing the mustaches....with the big nose/black glasses combo.

Yes, the black glasses would make them BAD ART STUDENTS.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

O look. There's a whole NOTHER tradition to bring Laura up to speed on.

Wait till she gets her first Zardoz.

Listen, blogging is VERY IMPORTANT. Which is what I tell myself when I should be cleaning my house, tending to my child or running an errand.

[Kathleen]

I wish I could take your class! maybe we could set up a skype. it could be like interactive Joy of Painting.

have I made this joke before? I feel like I have made this joke before.

[blue girl]

I would do a Skype class!

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

have I made this joke before? I feel like I have made this joke before.

Probably at 3Bulls.

[Jennifer]

I believe we talked about skyping K at Von's party, and then we continued on the blogs... You know, like beating a dead horse, or freezing the fish.

[Brando]

I am shocked--SHOCKED--to find jokes being reused at this establishment. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my nursing tank.

[Substance McGravitas]

Aaaaaand one-two-three everybody move to the canvas to your left!

[Jennifer]

LOL! I have actually done that before! Don't underrate it.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

I think you should do a BYOB painting class.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Surely that surprises EXACTLY NO ONE.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my nursing tank.

Taking cute cat pictures and writing amusingly misspelled captions, as if the cats had written them.

I had a teacher put up a bunch of white Chinese food cartons on a white sheet with white plastic utensils scattered around.

Taught us there was no such thing as white in painting.

[Jennifer]

Yes, I've done white on white... the thing is, this class is geared to people with NO EXPERIENCE, only a desire to learn... and being the first night, that would be a bit much for them in the beginning.

Beside, the people who registered them forgot to hand out the supply list... we had a nice chat last evening instead... :)

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Like I said, if you had done it BYOB it would have been a HUGE success.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

you could have brought some chocolate Skittles and played 3B radio....

[Kathleen]

no pile of white sugar?

[Substance McGravitas]

I hope you saw this terrific dragon.

[Jennifer]

Oh! That's awesome!

[Jennifer]

I'm also wondering how many burnt fingers there were...
