hung painting exhibit; possible job

i brought my paintings to the restaurant today, and put them up on the walls. it was really fun. i originally was going to put the chimney paintings in the back room but the chef, rightly recommended putting them in the front where there is such nice light. i put up all the paintings i have done since being in paris, except for the one of tasha, the cat, which i have already delivered. our apartment walls look so barren now. i am waiting to hear from the chef when we can do an opening party. this was a big deal for me. the first time my paintings are exhibited in a public space.

then, with that landmark in my life accomplished, i called the local computer animation studio, to make contact and see about possible jobs. i guess i should mention here that we have decided to stay in paris for another year, if we can. p has good work and i could possibly work at this studio. jj has accepted the idea. our decision seemed to revolve around whether the school was really a terrible idea and would be damaging to poor little jj’s sensitive soul or brain. we have ascertained that she will survive another year. we all love paris. my friend, jane, who i mentioned above, is in education, and assured us that coming back for 11th grade would be fine. coming back for only the last year, 12th grade, wouldn’t be a great idea. so we will put off the decision of whether to have jj graduate from this school or return to boston for the last 2 years of high school. so knowing that we will stay another year, allowed me to entertain the idea of working. our friend, roy, who works for disney told me i should talk to this studio – he has a good friend who is producer there. it is about 3 blocks from our apartment and jj is older and more independant now. i certainly have concerns about how much time i’d be away from her. i don’t want her to be a “latch-key” kid. but the studio IS just 3 blocks away. and then there is maynard, the dog. but he’ll just have to adapt. anyway, i called them and left a message.
