Laura ...with you there...when I leave my phone at home at first I panic...then I relax and enjoy the peace and just say..."oh well...."
I just use mine for quick calls...but my kids use our friends and family plan to make me stuck in traffic entertainment for themselves...LOL. They live in big cities...no rush hour in amarillo.

Great!!! I will tune in to it...I have not been keeping up with her like I did when she was new on the scene...so it will be fun to watch. I would like to hear her sing again and hope they are cutting an album.

This post is two fold. Emily is home and hopefully enjoying her visit. She has already had a call from an old friend asking her to marry him…LOL…she politely declined. Most of her time has been spent with her sketch book and she has come up with a bunch of new ideas. Today at the studio I introduced her to watercolour pencils which she likes. Ed has also introduced her to old black and white movies. I think the appeal for her is that these movies are really simple with no distracting special effects…just great story lines and lovely romance. NOW I want to ask you (if so inclined) to vote for me again as Best Artist in Amarillo. I think the website is still messed up like last year…but I guess enough got through that I won. Frankly I have not managed to even get to the voting and have some calls into the paper, but Katie had no trouble at all. Here is the web link. media.amarillo.com/specials/bestof/register/ You will have to register but if you don’t check any boxes you won’t get any spam from it. When you get into the site go to Best Artist. Vote for Jackie Dodson . studio 100 . Sunset Center …It goes under Best Artist. I said I wasn’t going to do this again but turns out the reception is the night before my HS reunion and it will be at Sunset Center where my gallery is…so might be good for business! You can see my art at www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/g/grannyjjd/I hope to update this site shortly…LOL Thanks in advance and let me know if you have the same trouble I did…sigh…can’t even vote for myself…LOL Jackie

awww Susan...this is beautiful!!!! Could you even SEE the video thru tears?!? I can remember first talking to you so many years ago when we had discussions about letting her grow up and not putting all those bows in her hair...LOL. And I told you how wonderful it gets to be when you have a more adult relationship with your child...and...you didn't think it could get any more wonderful than where you were at the time. SO glad you are where you are now and it is going so well. I think for so many here on UNO watching your Emily blossom from an adorable child into this lovely young woman has been a real inspiration. Kudos not only to Emily ...but to you , too, Susan. Jackie

thanks Brandi...I like this pic...but the girls are right...the slot machine one was better...this is Emily and her mentor Mitch Cohen who has left to go back to school to be a nurse I think she said. He is an artist with a most 'unusal' website...if you dare...google up sacred droppings...but he really was a great teacher...LOL.

Susan...you were probably the SMART one...bet they never check and were just trying not to have so many pics to go thru and maybe make a mistake by putting two of the same person in...we should have probably ALL followed your lead. LOL. I am not even sure that the pic I submitted is in the right format...cuz it was from a cell phone...but good quality.

But...I like the one of her and Mitch...will see if it posts for me.

ok...well...hmmmm...we have now explored just about every cause for Em's wt and inability to lose it and have come up with absolutely nothing!!!!! Yes she does not always eat correctly...but probably 85 % of the time she consumes no more than 1500 calories a day. She still has the problem of CLEANING her plate no matter what we say....furrowed brow if we get on her back. After all she is 29 and we need to respect that. She knows as well as we do what healthy eating is. I don't eat correctly a lot of the time...and I would be really upset if someone reminded me of it ALL the time!!!! Emily ...unlike me....gets lots of exercise. Katie says most days she takes off and walks for up to 90 minutes listening to her iPod...often in excessive heat. She also lives upstairs so has to go up and down a bunch every day. I wont reveal her wt because that is just too personal...but lets just say its over the 2 mark now! and she is only 5ft tall. I just can't imagine she can be comfortable and that is always on my mind...it used to be wishing she could have a day or two without DS so she could experience life on a bit richer level...but now its that she could have a day or two without this wt so she could be more comfortable... I imagine if she lived here at home we could get some of it off of her in time...but it isn't going to happen at Katie's. Em is probably one of these people who needs a liquid diet plan or something extreme to get her into the right metabolic mode to lose. I also worry that at the NDSC she might load a plate and polish it off ...calling even more attention to her weight probs...LOL...now isn't that a silly thing for me to worry about. Her thyroid isnt that low and she takes her meds regularly. Ed just did a blood panel on her and she has an excellent a1c which measures blood sugar levels over a period of time...so not at risk for diabetes at this time. This is why I harp on wt issues all the time here...once it comes...almost impossible to get rid of. She did have some success at Norine's in Houston the year she worked there...but it was the focus of almost every moment with all of them. At Katie's house things are just too frantic. I think Katie is somewhat puzzled as well as to why she keeps gaining but Em is not one to snack so we know its not that. Oh well...Love my lady and glad she is home...think she is having a nice visit so far. Jackie
