Have I mentioned? …

I LOVE MY STUDIO!!!  I told DH ‘I’ll see you on Saturday’ … and I was only half-joking! My plotter has arrived, she’s installed and after 5 days of confusion, electronic and software grief … she’s up and running.  I LOVE IT!!!  I have days upon days of learning  to do/knowledge/experience to acquire – but …

I’m going to have a GREAT WEEK!

Had a great time at the wedding.  Gorgeous folks, lots of friends, good times! (and us …) My ongoing subpoena saga – the case has been delayed again!  Woohoo!  New summons will be issued … which means the county boys get to track me down again!   But, it also means I don’t have to be …

Stolen studio time …

What a week!  But, I don’t have to work tomorrow (friend’s wedding) – AND I was able to carve out some studio time (it’s what insomniacs do) … so, a good week!  [Throw in an unexpected visit to my grandparents, two ‘fast food’ meals – YUM!!!, and home made Nacho’s – loaded, of course!] I’m …

The never ending subpoena –

is now set for next week (!) … Sooo – I was available to attend the DARN SANE meeting!  By the time I got home, I was completely bummed and disliking people.  Needing a fix – I spent the afternoon playing with puppies, in the sunshine and beautiful fall colors:     And Mighty Zeus was …

But I love it … grumble, grumble

Not having a fun week.  Too busy.  I didn’t get my chores done in time to go to a work outing tonight (- ER folks know how to have some fun too, darnit!).  AND – I’m missing my studio! [Lower lip sticking out, feet stomping] But – my week is full of puppies, family time …

Oops – I’m doing it again …

I apparently can’t help it and I don’t THINK there’s a med for it …  I’m scoping out a new hobby and chomping at the bit!  Since DH has put a temporary kibosh on the ‘L’ addition to the studio (so – no room for a potter’s wheel yet!) … I’ve found something interesting that’ll …

Let there be … DRAMA!

Oh My Lordy!  People, particularly 20-somethings will never cease to AMAZE me …  Their oral-diarrhea is outmatched only by the size of their egos, and this sense of ‘you owe me’/entitlement is baffling! With that said – I choose to move on from the drama, and play in my studio.  I tried a new technique …

Huh … maybe

Here’s my glass clay experiment.  Not sure what happened with the red hat, but Santa is solid … kinda neat.  Might just need to play with clay again …    Also played with ‘faux dichroic’ … not the instant success I strive for, but definitely worth playing with again …      The babies (neo mastiff …

One down, four to go …

WWU:  Got through another large-moon, holiday weekend … thank goodness!  AND – I’m not needed for the first week of my 5 WEEK subpoena!  SWEET!  So later today marks day one of the twins’ first day of High School!  Just 4 more years of this  … THANK GOODNESS! So thrilled to NOT have to report …

On a roll – and then …

I was on a roll, feeling good(!) – UNTIL … But first, the good: I got through the weekend(!), while taking care of some difficult, NEEDY patients  and families … (‘nuf said!)  I was able to get to sleep early Monday morning, allowing for some quality evening time – family (two-legged), romp (four-legged), and the …
