Woke up this morning and looked around... almost all evidence of unwelcome visitor have vanished! He did leave his library book and his medicine... bad things, hope he has some more at home or realizes it and comes for it. Anyway, it's lovely... I'm only cooking for four tonight, and none of them will bitch (most likely) about whatever I decide ( Read more... )

The sun IS shining, and it IS a wonderful day! Abe and Matt just went to fire Bill! I don't know if "fire" is the best word, but today will be the last day he works on the house, which means he's leaving either today or tomorrow. Abe's had it. If you thought I was frustrated, Abe's even worse... there has been lots of swearing, even the ( Read more... )

Will someone bail me out if I smack Bill senseless with my lasagna pan? We're only two weeks into this project and I'm ready to hurt him. Abe keeps telling me, "We're leaving next Wednesday..." but I still have to put up with him until then. Another whole week. And he's not going home this weekend, since we'll be gone for a week. Abe dropped ( Read more... )

I've been a very busy girl over the past couple weeks. I've been throwing a whole lot, trying to get enough stock before we leave for Georgia at the end of the month. I've been throwing at least 12 vessels a day five days a week, but most days, I get 24. I went through 100 pounds of clay in one week and I probably have... let's see... over one ( Read more... )

After a dismal beginning on Saturday, I turned around and sold four items on Sunday at the Winter Market (including one of my most expensive items). I pulled in over $100 at a smallish event with half of my stock looking off... I had a glaze mishap with my last load... the clear glaze was a little too thick and made everything kind of purple. But ( Read more... )

Part of the deal with having my studio in the Prices' garage is that I make dinner for them almost daily. Tonight, I tried something new and exciting as a side dish to go with my salmon and peas, so I figured I'd share the knowledge ( Read more... )

It's just been a bad week. I had everything all typed up, and somehow closed my browser without even touching the mouse... I have no idea how I did it. Anyway, it's been kind of shitty... crappy weather, Abe wasn't feeling well, the dog's been misbehaving, I haven't been sleeping well, my new clay is hard to work with and I've destroyed more ( Read more... )

And that's what I get for being nosy. My Valentine gift was a pajamagram with dog jammies and naughty fortune cookies. I must have been dreaming what I saw in the email. But the jammies are nice... fuzzy, red, and covered with dogs (although Abe said we should return them because there aren't any danes on them ( Read more... )

My boyfriend is acting strange. He's ordered me something for Valentines Day online, but because of nasty, crunchy weather, we did not get mail yesterday. He spent a portion of this morning online making sure he ordered it correctly and has just been plain weird for him. Mail has come today at his parents' house, so logically, we'll get it too, ( Read more... )

Actually, the weather is downright nasty... we've had snow, we've had ice, we've had more snow. Abe couldn't get the door open to let the dog out this morning... he had to go out the front door and jump off the defunct porch. But I have now witnessed something more pathetic than a Great Dane with hiccups and a Great Dane who's so cold he's ( Read more... )
