Ice Cream War and other baubles for today...

Did a presentation for the day job today with a colleague.  Always good to know who your real friends are and he is a real friend, 'nuff said.

My clay work calls to me, but not loud enough for me to act on it.  My craft room is a MESS with a capital T and that means trouble in River City...or some such nonsense.  Still recovering from a nasty virus (aka F-L-U). 

Watched a wonderful doc on Carla Bruni last night.  I love her spirit, although I don't think it is cosmically okay that someone that beautiful is also sooooooooooo wonderful and talented.  I mean really, is that karmically fair?  She must have been reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad in a past life, right?  MEandOW, I know.  Seriously though, what chance do normal mortals have against goddesses like that? Oy. Love her though.  Girl crush.

Wow, posting two days in row, did the world tilt on its axis?

Want to talk about the neighborhood ice cream truck war on the Ponderosa.  On Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun about 4 PM an ice cream truck #1 with, IMO, creepy music circles about 3 times.  Then about 6 PM Ice cream truck #2 with, again IMO, more traditional happier ice cream-y music circles around 3 times.  Just recently at  7PM, ICT#1 wCM circles again; ICT#2wTICM does not come back.  This has gone on for about a year.  But-I'm concerned with the recent, IMO, escalation of the ICT#1 route #2.  Is a full blown war in progress?  Will fudge bombs fly?  To be continued.....

How do I post regularly??

My blog has no direction. Does it need one? Sometimes I think yes and other times I feel that it is my blog to do as I like with, so there. Ha.

Been laid up with the flu for 3 days and am finally on the mend. Woke up with a tiny fever today, but was easily remedied.

Okay, back to the blog. My first commitment should just be consistent posting, right? Right!

I'm off to make some food. More tomorrow.

Valentine's day

It has been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooooooooooooo long since I have posted. I did a bunch of claying as part of loving myself day. Made some bookmarks and covered a candy tin for a friend. I like them all very much if I do say so myself. Took yesterday off from work and it was delicious.

The painter came and finished the gates today. They look fab!!!

The dogs have loved having me home and I have loved being home.

I will post photos of clay soon!!!

Windy Sunday

It is a windy Sunday here in El Paso..............VERY WINDY. The sky is not turquoise today, but the wind chimes are singing. I hang a beautiful wreath that a friend gave me last week and I'm loving the look of it.

It is actually quite warm outside, the wind just makes me anxious. Even the dogs are anxious and they are usually a pretty mellow bunch.

Was going to clay today, but am feeling less than inspired. Prolly just watch TV with the babies.

Want this badge?

I will be hunting!!! Yay....

busy week

What a crazy week: I was told that my almost finished master's will not certify me in administration, sat through a salary board meeting that ended up with a 1% raise as predicted, went to a sweet wedding on Friday for a co-worker. So the week ended happily.

Next week should prove to be VERY busy. More intern stuff!! Getting ready for back to school trainings, so things should be very interesting.

My clay muse is still on vacay, I guess. I have not had one nudge towards creativity even though I have looked at amazing things being done (thank God for i-candy!)

The babies are conked out on the cool tile, my phone is charging and my dryer just stopped. Must do some errands.

Peace to all of you on a beautiful Sunday...................... :o)

Back Home.....

I'm back home, yay!!!!!!!!!!! 5 days in Dallas in unbearable heat, now I know why we in the desert rave about dry heat. I don't think people in Dallas are ever dry in the summer.

I was so happy to see my babies! They were happy (shout out to my dog sitter, Margie) but I think, in their doggy way, happy to see me as well.

I'm hoping to get some clay work done this weekend. Anything to put off doing homework, LOL. Saw some great exhibits in Dallas that were greatly inspiring. Hoping to put that to use.

Well, peace to the world for today.
