Well, what has been happening since NOVEMBER???

My eldest son has joined the Air Force, but not gone to boot-camp yet.

Eldest daughter is in trouble with the school system again for not getting my grandson to school on time.

Youngest son got legal visitation with his daughter and finally got a decent job.

Younger daughter is in love and as usual with my children, there is DRAMA.

I have discovered what I hope to be a really cool business venture. Actually two, but I've only take the financial leap on one so far.  It sort of relates to the business I wanted to open for myself--but couldn't get the finances.  Maybe this will lead to my dream coming true...

Anyway--I want those of you who are MOMS to know about this forum at CafeMom where I found this business.  One of the reasons I got into it is that I found a group of Moms who have a really cool and generous way of helping people get going in the business.

It's a business opportunity that is different than anything you have ever
seen before.

Yes--I am alive!

Hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving and I am sorry that I haven't gotten around to commenting personally on all your sites.  I have been struggling to balance work and life--as usual.  Fibromyalgia gives me hell when work becomes intense.   It is about to get worse as work is going to get more intense until the New Year.

Also, I got really intense with MySpace for a while.  I must admit, I have found it to be a great place to reconnect with family and old friends.  I am going to try to come around more--but won't make any promises.  Just know that I appreciate you all, even when you may think I am ignoring you.


God bless,
Maria

It's always something.....

My eldest daughter accidentally caught her apartment on fire Sunday night.  A lot of her stuff was ruined and she can't live there anymore.  She is waiting on another apartment to be available.  She really does have the worst luck, which my son and I were ironically discussing earlier in the day on Sunday.  At least she got the kids out and they are all okay.  Will the drama ever end?

For anyone interested, I have a MySpace now.  I really enjoy it.  The address is www.myspace.com/mtmdunnsblog

AWESOME NEWS!!!!


**** JOHNNY DEPP'S PRODUCTION COMPANY & GK FILMS PLAN TO DEVELOP NEW DARK SHADOWS MOVIE FOR WARNER BROTHERS

Daily Variety will publish the following article in tomorrow's (July 27) edition:


Depp lights up 'Dark Shadows'
Graham King to produce Warner feature
By Michael Fleming

Johnny Depp is getting in touch with his inner vampire.

Warner Bros. is teaming with Depp's Infinitum-Nihil and Graham King's GK Films to develop a feature based on the '60s daytime supernatural sudser "Dark Shadows."

Depp has said in interviews that he has always been obsessed with "Dark Shadows" and had, as a child, wanted to be Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series. The role was originated by Jonathan Frid.

A rights deal just closed with the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created the soap that aired weekdays on ABC, from 1966 to 1971. Depp and King will produce with David Kennedy, who ran Dan Curtis Prods. until Curtis died last year of a brain tumor. Infinitum-Nihil's Christi Dembrowski served as the point person on the deal.

Over 1,225 episodes, "Dark Shadows" was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies. The show has a continuing rabid fan base that populates Dark Shadows Festival conventions.

Numerous TV revivals of the series and pic adaptations have been attempted over the years but none with as high-wattage a star as Depp.

Depp, who is coming off "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and who just wrapped the Tim Burton-directed "Sweeney Todd," is next expected to star in "Shantaram," a Mira Nair-directed adaptation of the Gregory David Roberts novel that Depp, King and Plan B are producing for Warner Bros. Depp, King and WB are also mobilizing to make a film about the life of Alexander Litvinenko, with Depp poised to play the former KGB agent, who was fatally poisoned.

New grandbaby was born July 12.  We had to sneak to get these pictures I am posting.  The other grandparents are trying to keep this baby to themselves.  Needless to say...we will not allow that to happen, but it will take time.
