Ankimo, meet Bucky

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

Ankimo is post surgery. They are talking about keeping her one more day, till Saturday. :/ She had three teeth taken out, one her lower canine, now she will have an overhang fang like Bucky in Get Fuzzy. I'm not keen on them keeping her two days, the teeth removal was an extra $90 with [...]

I dropped Ankimo off at the vet today with the usual mournful cries. My heart just aches every time I do this. But it's for her health, right? It's the dentist today. She's had stinky breath for awhile, and he noted when she was in sick that her teeth really needed a cleaning. So she's [...]

Blessed

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

I'm living a blessed life right now. Most of my worries are ones that I make for myself, not something thrust upon me. A lot of friends are having hard times, some are low on money, some have been in and out of hospitals and pain for weeks, their entire future uncertain. Some are lonely. [...]

Sunrise

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

Headed into work with my "Sunrise" single on repeat…poetically as the sun rose. It's one of those great days, those Duran record release days. "Astronaut" is here! I always get the warm fuzzies every few years when this happens, and always hope it's not the last one. MMM. First album with all original five members [...]

my double-vinyl copy of Duran Duran's Astronaut showed up Friday, along with the CD single. The CD version should be enroute. I couldn't resist the vinyl! I am weak!

bubbly experiment

Monday, October 11th, 2004

This one was part of a "newbie" challenge in a glass forum I am on, to just see how to mess with glass. It's badly shaped, I tried to even it out but the bubbles started to pop on the surface, so I had to leave it. Which is ok, this type of bead is [...]

Older bead

Monday, October 11th, 2004

This is an oldie but goodie from the first lampworking I did at Bullseye. I just love this one. All the frustrations of gloppy glass and soot marks were worth it to have made this. I will never lose it, my first "good bead." In my opinion anyway! <img src="http://www.juiceglass.com/images/beads/seawaveswc.jpg"> Sea Waves

First leaves

Sunday, October 10th, 2004

Not bad. Overall the things I made weren't so pretty this weekend. It's all learning though. I might be trying to go too fast, but I'm not sure. I tried to make my first flowers, but I only put two on the bead. Tried to balance the sides without but maybe I overbalanced. Hm. Stuff [...]

apples!

Saturday, October 9th, 2004

I need to write lots about today and friends and the Apple and Pear Festival at the Portland Nursery, but we need to go get pizza dough to make homemade pizza…well, almost, if the dough is raw. I make some beads but today was not an "on" day, I need to learn to stop letting [...]

Friday!

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Ok, so a piece of chocolate cake at 8 am wasn't such a good idea. Hello, heartburn! I am glad to see the rain. Now I won't have to water this weekend, but it is time to mulch and start thinking about protecting the roses in containers. Next spring I want to plant them all [...]
