Can’t Stop It …
I know … I KNOW!!! I’m supposed to be cooking for TWO! I KNOW THIS ~ but, it can’t be stopped! I started with what I hoped would be a yummy, roasted cauliflower recipe (Pinterest strikes again!) … No offense, but it was just about mush, ready to be mashed cauliflower. Who does that? I’d make …
There be some Red-Neckedness up in here …
Yep, it’s that time of year … DH is doing some housing-upkeep projects! Gotta love him for it, but Jeesh! He’s power-washing decks WHILE refinishing the kitchen/den floors. This means I have a grill and patio set in my driveway and kitchen furniture in my garage … Red-neck BBQ, anyone? Since we can’t have any …
But HE Started It!
OH!!! It is SOO DH’s fault … He sent a de-funk Craig’s List item that promised a new storage rack/work station in my COE-90 designated work area. HE emailed the no-good listing to me. Now I WANT one! Shelves for my frits, upright storage for my glass, a place to tuck much-needed tools, AND a …
I had a post …
All ready to go, heavy on the WWU, but … I’ll talk about what’s going on in my studio instead: Spoon rests, owls and renovating … Oh my! I’m wrapping up my spoon rests! 12 down and 13 more to go! But here’s a pic of the first 7, done and now ready for in-depth …
L.A.M. –
Life After Maggie … is tougher than I was prepared for. I didn’t realize I’d be grieving this much. And it hits me at strange times throughout the day/night. But, I haven’t cried today, so I feel like I’m advancing through the stages. Maybe I’ll even sleep a bit tonight … [Oops – there I …
Slowing down …
Yeah, sure … Umm, kinda WWU: The full moon did not disappoint this weekend. It was flippin’ craziness everywhere (And, I don’t mean [non-PC] behavioral medicine craziness. I mean full-moon nuttiness all the way around!): Arguments with law enforcement; bizarre complaints; insane volume in our ‘lil country club ER; combined with crazy computer issues. But …
Wish me luck …
Time to take a deep breath and hit the week running … In between the demands of daily driver’s ed for the twins, our puppy nursery (9 days old today), our canine ante-partum nursery (Mama Zonie is due this week), photography, shipping glass packages (love that), and working “Mom’s Diner” – I’ve got the DARN …
It’s all coming together …
I love this frame of mind … I wish I could bottle it! Positive energy, lots of creativity and productivity … Life is good! DH performed emergent, life-saving ‘surgery’ on Dear Old Grinder. She’s back! And with a new 1 inch coarse grit bit – we’re moving through glass like a hot knife through butter! …
The list(s) …
The first round of our dichroic pendants and badge reels is in the production kiln for fire-polishing. I am hopeful we’ll have some new finished pieces by the end of this week! The large blue blank is slumping in the coffin, along with a couple of wine bottles that needed texturing and the blue/yellow spoon rest. The studio …
Viruses, Goblins, and Full Moons … oh my!
So, I’m making some progress – finally feel like my head is no longer sharing space with the virus tumor (Yes – it was a tumor, liquefying my brain – or so I whined to my co-workers on Sunday). Anyway – the head is mine again – so the insomnia returns. It’s ok … I’ll …
