Post-n-Run

Wow. I haven't posted since April 7th. I still have nothing much to say, so here is one of my favorite paintings.

Sometimes, I just don't get it

Art, like many things, is in the eye of the beholder. I went to Meijer Gardens this weekend to see the Butterflies are Blooming. There was also an exhibit by Jonathan Borofsky. Well, I just don't get it. I understand what he's trying to say, but it just doesn't move me.

Cult, Coven, Guild, Gathering

I would say when we get together at our monthly meeting it's all about the glass, but I'd be lying. It's really all about the food. The glass is a close second, but it comes in second nonetheless.

We had nearly 20 people at my house yesterday! I had a blast, and I am grateful to have so many friends in the glass world.

Bring it on!

I love birthdays. Let's face it, everything is better with cake. :) 39 was a little crazy, so let's see what 40 brings!

Fabulous

"The most important thing, darling, is to live a fabulous life. As long as it is fabulous, I don't care how long it is."
-- Freddie Mercury

Sold!

My friend Vonna bought my Lava Goddess today. This bead is one of my favorites, and I am thrilled she is going to a wonderful person and jewelry designer!

Ahhhh, maturity

So tonight was our first soccer game. We had our asses handed to us on a platter. 12-1. Seriously.

But I had FUN.

Now years ago, I would have been enraged at both my performance and that of my teammates (who are also coworkers). It wouldn't have mattered that many of them have never played before, or if they have, it has been a few years for them. But tonight, I saw that they tried hard, and that I tried hard. I pulled something in my ass, both hip sockets are grinding like rusty metal, and I am so exhausted I have the shakes.

But I had FUN.

Maturity. Who knew?

(Of course, make no mistake - next week I plan on making the other team cry for their mommies. :) )

ooooo, shiny!

Yes, the atrociously bad grammar kills me (in a bad way), but this is still funny! (Don't think any less of me, Suzanne!)

Hot, Hot, Hot

When the woman who makes the food says it is hot, hot, hot - believe her. My eyeballs are sweating.

Escape Fantasies, Then and Now

Throughout my life, I've often have escape fantasies. Sometimes gerneral (anywhere but here), sometimes very specific (Spain). The practical, logical part of my brain knows that problems will follow no matter where I go, but it was always fun to think of where else I could be.

My escape fantasy now simply involves building a new house so I can build my glass studio exactly how I want it. :)

Inner Demons

As my measly posts here have indicated, I have been flat-out addicted to FaceBook lately. I've never been a fan of dwelling in the past. High school - you could never, ever pay me enough money to go back. And my twirling years, those memories are all locked away tight, only popping up occasionally in scary dreams. But now that I'm on FB, I've hooked up with HS peeps and even peeps from my twirling years. No, I am not saying any of my friends on FB caused me any pain or misery in my previous lives. They just represent previous incarnations of me that I was happy to leave in the distant past. This has put me in a contemplative mood. Does time heal all wounds? Was all my misery only in my head? Am I *gasp* mature?

I raise my glass to you, Inner Demons. !Salud!

Time flies...

Wow, time flies when you sign up for Facebook. I really do hav eplans to make beads and start bloggin about them again. Really.

Facebook

And now I've joined Facebook. Suzanne, I was going to friend you, but there are a few people with your name and I couldn't figure it out...

Saving original thought

I've started another blog: http://savingoriginalthought.blogspot.com/. This is just going to be a place to post all the quotes I've been collecting over the years. I currently have 2 notebooks full of quotes.

Do you Twitter?

I signed up for Twitter yesterday. It is rather interesting. I am oneearedpig.
