Strange Large Breasted Women

By the way; in the above picture, who do you think, dear reader, is who?

Happy 9-month birthday, baby Oops!

Our little diva baby is 9 months old today! Nine months ago I went into labor listening to the Poulenc Clarinet and Piano Sonata at SFSU's School of Music and Dance Graduation Ceremony. If a diva is to have a baby, then she must push to Poulenc!

Diva Parenting

On Friday, at the Deeter House for Wayward Sopranos, Evie the Viking was my charge. The day started well when I insisted upon a healthy snack of cottage cheese and limited intake of Valentine's Day candy. As the day progressed, however, I became more and more unhinged. The above picture illustrates what occurred next. Is this the act of a Diva? I hope so.

Proactive Decisions (a joint post).

Today, Prozac Pamina and I decided that a good way to avoid crazy insane freakouts would be to establish a proactive dialogue about our current fixation that is driving us crazy.  So far, Day One has been a success.

Example:
Prozac Pamina: I am freaking out because I feel like I have man boobs.
Cuckoo Coloratura: Let's talk about this, Prozac Pamina.  Why do you think you have man boobs?
Prozac Pamina: Well, because I have boobs and so do some men.
Cuckoo Coloratura: Are you a man?
Prozac Pamina: No I don't think I am a man.
Cuckoo Coloratura: Well we can find a proactive way to resolve your inner conflict by determining your sexual orientation and then you'll know for sure.
(Prozac Pamina stalks off toward bathroom...Prozac Pamina returns)
Prozac Pamina: I have determined I am a woman.
Cuckoo Coloratura: Good step forward PP.  See how well our proactive and rational dialogue averted obsessive anxiety about man boobs?
Prozac Pamina: Yes, I think this could applicable to lots of daily situations, including but not limited to: obsessive thoughts about losing one's teeth, drinking too much wine, or generally sucking (but not on things).



Now it is back to the task at hand (which we are currently avoiding, no dialogue for that yet): writing our music theory papers.


That is, Dear Readers, your thought of the day from Cuckoo Coloratura and Prozac Pamina.  In the meantime, try your hand at your own proactive inner (or outer) dialogue.

Introduction


So, now we've started a blog. And as anyone who knows me might expect, I'm freaking out over doing it right. My two comrades have posted not once but twice. Do I have anything to add? I don't know yet. I'll think about that. Probably while I drink some wine. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this...

Yes, that is Timothy Dalton as Edward Rochester.

Peace.
