Sigh

I'm reading about everyone getting ready for the MediaWest con and feeling jealous. This will be the first MW I've missed since 1996. That's ten straight years of attendance. Not a bad run. And at least my vids are going if I can't. (The fabulous m. butterfly kindly offered to do my volunteer time for the vid show, so I'm sending my last two vids, one Pros, one Life on Mars.)

At least I've got a fabulous reason for not going.
Looking after Rosalind is taking all my time. She may look innocent here, but she's a definite handful. In the cutest way possible.



In the meantime, to everyone on the flist who's on their way, have a great time. And attend a panel/watch a vid show/go out for dinner with fans/hang out in the HIS lobby/buy a bucketload of zines for me, would ya.

Oh, my gosh, she's the most adorable little girl ever!

We think so. Though admittedly we're biased. *g*

Oh she is SO cute!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, she certainly is. ;-)

Every picture I see of her she looks more gorgeous. You have truly been blessed with a beautiful rose...even if she comes with the occasional thorn. My best to all three of you!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
She is one beautiful little girl. And the thorns are pretty minor in the greater scheme of things. Thanks!

She's about a million different kinds of adorable - I love the bedhead!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
The photo is pre-haircut, but she still gets crazy bedhead.

We'll miss you but you have a very adorable reason for missing :-)

She's so cute!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'll miss all y'all. But yeah, my reason is pretty adorable. :)

[identity profile] gwyn-r.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my gosh, I have been wondering how things were going. She's lovely, and you must both be so happy to have found her.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Things are going pretty well, if exhausting. We're definitely happy. We don't think we could have gotten a more perfect child for our family. (She's totally a thinking baby.)

[identity profile] aerye.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, she is so sweet!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't she though?

Congratulations!

[identity profile] lilithilien.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
She is adorable!! I'm so glad that you were able to bring her home!

I had no idea you'd done a LOM vid. Very excited to see that; I just signed up for a pword on your site.

Re: Congratulations!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to let me know what you think of the LoM vid. (I didn't realize it was one of your shows.)

[identity profile] agt-spooky.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
We'll miss you so much, Pauline! We'll clap extra loud when we see your vids so you can hear us in Canada. :-)

And you're right, you've got an adorable reason for not being able to go. :-)

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, you guys are the best. I'm really sad that I'm not going to be there this year. (Cross your fingers that I can make ZCon.)

[identity profile] st-crispins.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
We'll certainly miss you but maybe you can bring her next year.

Sending virtual hugs your way.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming her Canadian passport comes through by then (it could take anywhere from 3 to 18 months for her Canadian citizenship to come through) I should be able to bring her next year.

You'll have to say hi to everyone at the UNCLE party for me. Not to mention at the Ponderosa. (I can't believe I'll miss the Ponderosa get together. Sigh.)

She has the sweetest little face!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
She certainly does. (When it's not covered in rice cereal, anyway. *g*)

another picture mum?

She is so lovely. Thank you for sharing.

I'm trying to keep this journal mostly fannish, but there are more pics of Rosalind over at http://baolin.livejournal.com

What a Doll!

We'll miss you at the con. You have the best possible reason for not being there. :D

(Thanks for sending the vids. I can't wait to see them.)

Re: What a Doll!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll miss being there, but I know I'll be back. Hope you enjoy the vids.

[identity profile] partners4life.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
We are going to miss you this year, hon. But next year we will get to meet Rosalind. I am looking forward to that!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Try not to have too much fun without me. *g*

And yeah, if her citizenship comes through in time, Rosalind should be there next year.

[identity profile] caffyolay.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I know I've said it before but Rosalind is one beautiful little girl. She's going to be a stunner when she grows up. And yes, they do take *all* your time to look after. We have our 7 month old grandson two days a week and on those days we're knackered come the end of the day.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been reading your posts about your grandson and recognizing a lot of what he's doing. (Blowing bubbles in food? Check.) And yeah, they're exhausting. And rewarding.

[identity profile] sunray45.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
It looks as if that little lady is getting very used to having her photo taken - that is a lovely pose. :) and she really is beautiful.

I'm sure you will get lots of feedback from the others at the con.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)

Well, she's getting quite squirmy, so most pictures of her at the moment are either her looking down at a toy or wriggling out of the frame. She's still cute as a button, though.

[identity profile] msmoat.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
She's definitely worth it. *g*

I'm not going either...but then I don't have your track record. And...I'm in England just at the moment, so I can hardly complain. *g*

Give Rosalind a hug and a kiss--there will be other Media Wests for you!

[identity profile] nakeisha.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
She really is so gorgeous. And this is another wonderful terribly, terribly, 'proper' pose. She's is certainly photogenic.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
When we can get her to stay still or look at the camera, she's photogenic. These days, those are two very difficult things to manage.

Thanks!

[identity profile] gilda-elise.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
She's adorable! I can easily see how, when it came to making a choice, she won, hands down. :-)

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, no contest. Though I'll be going back to attending cons as soon as I can.

[identity profile] madmogs.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
She looks such a little sweetie!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
She certainly is. *g*

[identity profile] probodie.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my, she is soooo gorgeous isnt she? Beautiful child. You are so lucky :-))

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
We definitely feel lucky. Especially since tempermentally she seems to fit in our family so well.

OY!!!! I'm plotzing!!!!

Schmooie! I'm plotzing! She's the most gorgeous little girl ever! And I can't wait to spend lots more time with her and her Mommy!!!
Hugs, as ever, of love and support!!!
