As I look outside, seeing the snow blowing sideways across our yard … Brrrr! I’d much rather stay in the studio today – but my other (real) job beckons … I do hope folks stay inside tonight! I continue with my successes, failures and experiments in the studio … Here’s an update: I ran the coffin …
WWU: Lots of feast to famine this weekend. Sunday night started as SRO in my little ER – I don’t think I stopped running (ok, ‘walking briskly’) until 1130-12mn … infant IV’s, conscious sedation for dislocations, cellulitis requiring admission, kidney stones, arrhythmias – along with all the other standards – flu, strep throat, ‘is it …
Finally have the kiln running on a regular basis … oh how I love this! In between quick projects, I am working on more complex pieces. And – I have a Valentine’s Day idea or two I’d better get working on… Meanwhile – I am still researching all things embossing … Need to get DH …
before closing out the 2011 year … On Thursday, while coming home from promised clothes shopping – my daughter and I discovered a ‘present’ at the end of our driveway. Some stellar member of our community decided to dump 40+ old tires. Not in one of the ditches or low areas, swamps or back ‘forty’ …
Wow … I’ve just come across the nuttiest marketing ploy … In my eagerness to find supplies for embossing glass and metal, I’ve been searching all things related to stamping/scrap-booking. I stumbled on a word (“ZENTANGLE”), which is associated with all sorts of DVD’s, books, computer programs, pen supplies, etc. So, I flipped to YouTube …
And all through the house, not a creature was stirring – except for me … WWU – It was unexpectedly busy in my stand-alone ER over Christmas weekend. I really thought more folks would be staying home … NOPE. We had a bit of everything: behavioral medicine complaints, intoxicants, lacerations, food poisoning, the never-ending FLU …
So … I am officially ready for this holiday season … with almost 2 hours to spare, no less! Yep – everything is made/bought/wrapped/swept/cleaned/spit-shined … WHEW! I have a little food prep to deal with tomorrow – but I went with a simple menu, so … Welcome, Christmas 2011 – I am ready for you! …
WWU – Sunday was busy for my new little ER … and I had three (no really, count them –T.H.R.E.E.) patients transferred for hospital admission! Sure made the weekend go by quickly … as will this one coming up, I’m sure: Lots of holiday gatherings by day and work at night … Come on insomnia …
I’ve been working hard this week … shipping packages daily, cranking out personalized ornament orders (both of which I love), getting the computers talking to each other (networked – so I can access pictures/info in the new studio), loading drivers and photo-editing programs, cooking … WHEW! And – I still have some Christmas shopping to …
While the lunar status doesn’t quite mean what it did at the hospital ER, you can still tell when the moon is full … bizarre and unusual people were out in full force this weekend. Had a great family night – in the new studio, munching on popcorn and cream puffs (kids’ choices). We were …
