We have Big Girl Bed!

We took Ros to the store where I'd scoped out the bed, and Ros is getting the bed of my childhood dreams: a four poster, complete with canopy. (This was Not My Fault. Ros loved it, and so did the Sweetie.)

Also, I Hate My Own Voice!

I've just spent the last two hours narrating a fifteen minute online tutorial over and over again until I eliminated all the technical glitches and all my screw ups. My voice is too high, a bit torn up (from too much teaching over the years, no doubt), and wayyyy too sibilant. Those S's, man, they could pierce someone's eardrum.

At least the recording is complete. Now I just have to edit the fucker and make it look pretty for my portfolio.

But, wow, I wish I had a broadcast quality voice.

The bed of your childhood dreams was the bed of mine. I desperately wanted a four poster with canopy. My mother all but laughed in my face.

Oooh, score on the bed! She'll be able to play lots of imaginary games with that too. *g*

One of my mates growing up lived in a Tudor house that had been built by one of her ancestors. She slept in the four poster bed that had actually been built inside her room. You wouldn't have been able to remove it without taking it to pieces. We made so many forts out of that thing and used it as a stage as her mother still hung curtains on it so Stephanie would be warm enough in the winter.

I'm sure your voice isn't as bad as you think it is. Hardly anyone likes the sound of their own voice as when we hear it taped with concentrate far more on how we're saying things rather than what is being said as we would do if we were listening to a stranger.

I had a canopy bed as a teenager. Loved it. It wasn't a huge one, tho. Hubs and I have a massive four-poster now, but no canopy. (The ceiling fan would chop it to pieces. *grins*)

*nods* I hate my voice too -- it has absolutely no bottom notes when recorded. I had a woman who has been my optician for years phone me and ask to speak to my mother. I'm 47. *sighs*

Hee I LOVE those beds - you can get them for pets now (the mind boggles, to be honest but...)!! Bet she looks so cute in it :D

Oh, cool bed. Go Ros!

Everybody hates their voice! LOL! Mine sounds like grating cheese when I hear it on my answering machine.
