Big tease, microcephalic … and faith!

As I sit in the office, nursing a cup of coffee – trying to wake up and tap into my smiling, happy, civil side (come on caffeine!) … DH is giving me a run down on the weather predictions for the next 7 days. Michigan and I have a love/hate relationship this time of year …

If anyone had told me …

I would spend 8 (almost 9) DAYS away from internet, email and smart phones – I would never have believed it … But – that’s exactly what I did. We just came back from paradise (our tropical retreat) and while we had an unexpected delay in Georgia trying to make our way back home … …

Still rollin’ …

WWU: Busy weekend! Sick folk, crabby folk, whiney folk … Wow! Sure glad it’s over … With it’s limited resources, my little stand alone ER has unique challenges when it’s that busy! Flipping back to ‘glass artist’ role – I’m still enjoying my successes (for the moment, anyway) … A couple more fun spoon rests: …

Relaxed, playing–and on a roll …

A great couple of evenings with my kids (both the two and four-legged kind), my kilns and my studio has me rolling into the weekend feeling great! I have pictures: Romp time with the pooches … DH caught a quick pic, calling me the ‘dog whisperer’. The last remaining (Neo) pups are moving on …

Wednesdays … WTH?!?

A much better Wednesday than last week (!), but still with some tension and stress (darn teenagers anyway) … For now, I’ve locked myself in the studio, armed with a cup of Café Mocha – to get some de-stressing/me time. Starting with photography: Here’s a shot of my last coffin run pre-firing: And my pendant …

It must be winter …

(WWU) Got through another weekend … busy Saturday, but nothing critical (lots of cold and flu complaints). My weird sleep habits had me up and wide awake at 7am this morning …WTH??? Such an unnatural hour for me. I’ll pay for it later I’m sure … But in the meantime, I’m watching the skies unload …

Disillusioned, disappointed and depressed …

Had another first for my ‘lil rural county yesterday – 3 SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) cases in less than 24 hours. WTH?!? I believe I covered every service provided to ‘adults’ by our agency (… if I didn’t – I don’t even want to think about what scenario I missed)! So bummed at the …

Ahhh– I like …

Tonight marks the first time I’ve been in the studio for a week. The upside – we had a great, all-be-it just a tad late Christmas with my dad, my house is CLEAN, and I have the next 3 days for nothing but studio time! Oh, I like that! Made some mugs for the family: …

Productive … but not with glass

Darn it! But – I did just pay the bills. “The house is ours for another 30 days, honey” – I yelled out to DH, as I do every month. And, I saw my primary care physician today … I get to enjoy reduced premiums for another year. Plus – I’ve lost a couple of …

Postponed …

Christmas (with my dad) has been pushed back – his household has ‘the crud’ (URI). And while I love him very much, I would prefer he keep that to himself (and my uncle is immuno-compromised due to transplant). So … another week of playing in the studio! WWU – Steady but not painfully so. Lots …
