I should post a pic, huh. He is 9 months old now, and so tall…still a little small for this doggie on the playground, but Dad helped him stay on. =)

I haven’t been writing at lunesse.com Livejournal makes it so easy…but I WANT this site to live and be interesting. I want to pull everything in here, flickr, etc. I need to work on that. My pal Halsted knows so much about getting everything in one place….maybe I will go stalk her site and see more of how she does it,and try to integrate here.

It’s a rainy Friday. Derek had fun at playgroup, and is now napping. When he wakes we will go to get some Copper River Salmon. It’s very $$$ but I get it once a season to support wild caught salmon vs. farmed. Today is the day. I like the rain, it was so hot last week, even though we escaped most of it by being at the coast. I don’t know what the weather is for this holiday weekend, but we will have fun no matter what. Saturday will be our first trip this season to the local farmer’s market, which is open again, YAY! I told DLJ we can do whatever he wants for Memorial Day, since it is more of a day off for him, than me. =)

I hope to get some studio time, but that’s about it. I want to start making winestoppers and I just need some time to mess around and see what I can do.

I’m down in the family room, which is finally, all the way finished. Carpet, walls, all of it. DLJ even hid the wires behind the baseboard he installed. We got a big baby gate type guard and it is blocking off the tv.entertainment console and the two shelves of CDs and DVDs from the little guy. As the days get warmer we will hang out down here more. Well, gotta go to the loo, and do so before he wakes so….potty calls for me! Didn’t you want to know that? I knew  you did.

:p

Spring is here.

Derek is 7 months plus and just about ready to crawl. He is army crawling and getting all of his legs up in the air while trying to move forward on his hands and toes.

We went on a two hour walk today to enjoy the warmer weather. He had a good time, I think, we went with 3 other Moms. Tomorrow is play date day. We went swimming today too, so it was quite busy!

I have a glass show at the end of the month at the Convention Center, so I am in the home stretch for that. Of course, I have so little studio time these days, but I should have enough inventory.

DLJ is watching the kung fu channel. It makes me want sake…bad. We have some but it’s late. =)

Sorry about that.

It’s so busy with Derek and life, it’s hard to find time to sit and write. When I have  spare moments there are always things I should be doing, or I just want to sit and do nothing, or nap!

I am so happy Spring is coming. The hyacinths are starting to push out of the ground, and the plum trees are just about to bloom. Plum and cherry blooms are one of my favorite things about Spring here.

I have a dentist appointment on Saturday; it can’t come soon enough.

I still have 3 baby teeth, you see. And I was told many years ago they might make it to my 30’s. I think one of them is finally failing, it hurts a lot. They were never meant to last so long, pretty impressive if you ask me, the little guys.

Since it hurts I am guessing the enamel is wearing and a cavity has set in. The real bummer is, once it goes, there is no permanent to replace it, so I will need a false tooth. Ah well. It’s hard to not feel like a failure but geeze, BABY TEETH. I should feel proud they made it this long.

I’m getting geared up for the Glass Expo at the Convention Center, it was a fun time last year and I am looking forward to doing it again, even though getting inventory is a lot harder with a little Derek running around. I think this year will be the hardest, as he cannot entertain himself at all…and needs to nurse every few hours. I don’t mind it, just makes glass work hard, but it is temporary.
