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 …
Countdown …
Work in the studio continues, with the understanding that I will not come anywhere close to touching the projects I wanted to try/complete. That’s ok … I’ll still make myself nutty for this up-coming show, but maybe not ‘top-shelf nutty’… (???) Here’s what I have to show-off today: a quick-but-cute donut necklace; my 11×14 canvas …
Cabin Fever?
We have so many great things going on right now, and yet: We have puppies (and they’re so stinkin’ cute)! And a houseful of mood swings/raging hormones – thanks to twin teenagers … I’m finally growing skin/healing! Yay!!! And, it’s tax season … I’ve made some new bracelets, learned new patterns! And, …
Frustration …
with surgeons and teenage girls had me excessively busy with my hands this week – as I tried to keep my mouth quiet! Special thanks to my dad, who let me vent about the surgeon. If you’re not going to listen to your patient, why bother talking to them in the first place?!? … ‘Nough said! …
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’d say Happy Turkey Day … but we had ham. Was my youngest daughter a little bummed? Maybe … But – since she didn’t move her lazy-butt off the couch all doggone day … I’m not impressed by her vote. And, while I embrace our house-full-of-hormones with sarcasm, I am thankful for my family … …
I feel like I’m in ‘Time-Out’ …
In trying to grant the twins (quietly supervised) alone time with their teen-age friends, giving them full access to the house and pool – I’m stuck in my office, feeling like I’m in a time-out (can’t be in the studio, and my pool is over-run with loud, laughing teen-agers, and no ‘adult refreshments’ either!!) … [Heavy …
The calm before the storm …
So, the kids are officially on summer vacation. They’ve ALREADY started talk about things we should do, buy and partake in to ensure they’re properly entertained this Summer … Oy Vay! This started right after I asked them to remove the 80 pounds of back-packs and school papers from my counters, couches and stairs. At …
“Date Night”
The twins have reached another milestone … at least in our school district. Today marks the 8th grade field trip – to Cedar Point. This is a pretty old tradition (DH and I both went when we were in 8th grade … umm, CENTURIES ago!) But it always makes me nervous, the thought of my …
Internalizing – It’s what ER nurses do … ?!?
At least it’s what THIS one is doing … While I don’t hold a 4 year degree specific to psychology, I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going on … I’m currently experiencing a full-fledged acne break-out – like some 13 year old kid – AND … I’ve been to the chiropractor twice this week to deal …
When it rains …
What was initially pretty amusing to me is now causing all sorts of grief … DH’s jury duty! A simple case that should have been resolved within one day (if not half a day) is now dragging out. Forget my studio – we have final vet appointments, airline flights and new parent visits to attend …
