Tonight Derek and I have a special event I signed up for a few months ago, a Mom-Son dinner dance at the local Park/Rec center. Dancing, food, cookies…and we are supposed to dress up. Tomorrow Derek’s preschool has a Spiral Walk…a winter event where the kids walk a spiral on evergreen boughs and light a [...]
I’m about to skip town to France. Or Zimbabwe. Anywhere. The last few days have been hard. I know, first-world hard, but hard. Derek is recovering, but out of 6 times getting physically ill, only one was in the toilet. Draw your own conclusions from that one on what I have been doing lately. Our [...]
It’s another rainy Sunday here in Oregon. But we will probably put up the holiday lights anyway. Last night we went out to dinner at New Seasons, a local schmancy grocery store, and Derek saw his first holiday lights of the year. He was VERY excited, and kept saying “Who else in this neighborhood has [...]
We are slowly getting ready to put Derek in a regular-sized bed. He has been happy in his crib, which has had the side rail off now for months, but he is getting towards the end of his time just plain fitting in it. We haven’t been in a hurry since this bed works fine, [...]
I feel like I should be doing something. I just had a 1.5+ hour interview on my glass work for a paper, and I suppose I should go do the shopping, I have a few grocery items to get. I updated some web stuff, did some Dolby work….there has to be something…something….. Ooo. Pack up [...]
And it is raining, still. I know it usually stops by the time we have our annual party, which is the Saturday on or closest after the summer solstice…but it sure is grey a lot, here, still. The garden loves it, however, and I am not one to complain about free water for my plants. [...]
A lot of my life is plans right now. I just finished the yearly really big glass show I do, and it went quite well. Almost as well as last year, within $100 worth in terms of sales. In this still sluggish economy, I’m totally down with doing just as well as the year before. [...]
I forgot. I have to go out to the studio and prep for a demo at the Museum of Contemporary Craft tomorrow. And I need to bring my camera so I can take a photo of my work on exhibit before the show gets taken down in a week or so. I haven’t played in [...]
Today I went to an Open House at my friend and massage therapist’s new office. It is SO wonderful. I wish it had been where I was going when I was seeing her regularly a couple years ago. Gorgeous, soothing rooms, wonderful waiting area and couches back in the back of the business that are [...]
My stomach hurts. I need to nap. So this is shorter than I wanted. I got my first set of needles today for knitting, that are my own. I am going to try to make Derek a simple scarf for my first project. But I have to remember how to cast on, I may try [...]
