| The Culprit! titled "Quietly she waited for her name to be called on the Polka Dot Door" |
|
Last week I wrote this whole blog post about four of the drawings I'm showing at the
Serendipi Tea House and asked my husband to check it over for me, as he often does. The blog post talked about my favourite titled drawing of the show called, "Quietly she waited for her name to be called on the
Polka Dot Door." Witty and cute right? Then I proceeded to talk about a conversation my friend Sue and I had about enduring watching the Polka Dot Door. We'd both watch because the host at the end of the show would hold up a magic mirror and would say the names of the kids watching. They never called our names, two fairly common names of the seventies, Sue and Lysa (I figured if they said Lisa, that would mean me too). Oddly enough I couldn't find a link on YouTube to that part in the show but I did find the theme song, so good enough! Time to have Chris, my editor, have a peek at the post. He takes a quick look and calls me back:
"... um, you know the Polka Dot Door?"
"Ya?"
"They never had a magic mirror."
"Wha? Ya they did."
"No Romper Room did. I just looked it up on YouTube. You've got the wrong show."
in a teeny tiny voice
"Embarrassing!!!"
Especially since I've had my show, with the titles for my
drawings, up for
four weeks now.
Which bring us back to present day. Determined to save this blog post I promptly sat down, this rainy Monday morning, to edit... oh wait, I didn't save the original post! Super!
... and that's how NOT to write a blog post!
