The tax man says the kilns can keep kickin’ … YAY!! I’ll be learning some new business concepts (COGS = cost of goods sold vs. inventory, raw materials and supplies), but I love learning … As long as I get to keep playing in glass! It’s a good thing too, since I have another shipment …
The to-do list has shrunken to an acceptable level … this means my kilns have been running! YAY!! I have a large blank cooling in the production kiln and bottles slumping in the coffin, as I type. Oh, I like this MUCH better! The new color combinations and finished-product ideas are flowing (haha) like crazy …
It’s Thursday … it was a beautiful day temperature-wise. I didn’t even mind all the mud. I’ve finished my ‘DARN SANE’ call for the week. I’ve had multiple visitors over the last few days (Yorkie pups). I have a houseful of adorable, fun, healthy puppies. I got to see my daughter’s basketball game (who knew …
I’ve gotten a few pendants and badge reels pulled together … just quick projects. And I continue to re-photo some ‘older’ pieces – as I realize now just how horrible the lighting was in some of my initial listings … It keeps me busy and close to Olivia – who is going …
I got too much sleep yesterday … Being a 3rd shifter part of the time means I’m supposed to have a 3-4 hour ‘nap’ on Mondays, so I can ‘turn around’ for the week, and try to sleep at night. SOMEONE let me sleep for 8.5 hours yesterday … which means I’ll be up for …
So … I’ve been dragging my feet. I hate it when I procrastinate, but … DARN. Sometimes being grown up and responsible just BITES. Ooh – that’s funny. I’m not talking about anything serious, like the 86 yearly competency tests waiting for me at work, or ‘working’ the tax papers or even checking on the …
Saturday’s craft show was good. And I learned so much that day … now, it’s time to figure out the best way to move forward. We did well – not great, but good. My ‘hope’ had been to sell so much, that I essentially cleared off my dining room table, making room for the next …
Got through another weekend – or as I like to announce to my coworkers on Monday morning, as I leave the ER achy, tired and drained of most of my compassion … one weekend closer to retirement. Which is funny to me, as that particular tunnel (retirement) is so long, I see no light or …
Let me start with this … I’m sorry about the last rant … I really believe if I wanted to blog about public awareness, I’d … um, make a blog for that. But there are times when cruelty and lack of human decency hit me right at the knees … and other times it’s just a really big …
Well, actually I have TWO … the cold virus (BUG), as some lovely child felt compelled to sneeze into my face at work this weekend … But – what I’m talking about is I’ve reacquired the web design/developing bug … About 5 yrs ago, I got it, and taught myself enough to develop and run …
