hmmm...it is over a year since I posted here...interesting. I think I post too many places, so why here too? I see in the last post we had gone to the Milwaukie show. Dad did that one on his own this year, I can't remember now why I didn't go. I think I had to be somewhere else. He did two shows in a row on his own..toooo much.
We are now getting ready for Ft. Worth, having skipped the Little Rock show because I had sinus surgery this past Wednesday (again!!) and he would have had to do that one on his own too.
Surgery went ok..no big thing. Only in the hospital 3 hours...still can't taste, but hopefully that will change after my insides heal and the swelling goes down.

Waiting for Dad to come back with a skid of spray...now we have to come up with money to by the brown paint..yikes! another 3,500.00. But that should take us for two years, as should the spray.

OK, tired..going to quit..see you in a few months or years!

Not so good a day

It is Wednesday and I we are leaving for Milwaukee tonight for a ceramic show. I think we are pretty well prepared, but I cut my foot a week ago and it is giving me fits, so I can't help much with loading. Not fun for Dad.
And this morning I got up for work and William had not come home. I am very worried about him. He left yesterday afternoon for work in a very bad condition. He was very concerned about his relationship with one of his co-workers and printed out a letter to give to her as he is not so good at confrontation.
So...I don't know if he ever made it to work, what happened if he did and why didn't he come home? I will worry every minute until I know he is safe. I haven't told Dad yet...it will just put him in a tailspin and he is already in a very fragile place.
I'll be glad when this show is over and any luck at all we bring in enough cash to cover expenses for next month and then some. We need to order glass and caps and right now we can't do that.

OK, I better at least look like I am working until noon when I go home....

lets try this again!

I just got the joyful news from a long time friend and former co-worker that they are pregnant! They have tried unsuccessfully in the past and have gone the adopton route fraught with dissapointments. I am SO happy for them!

Work has been interesting. We are experiencing quite a bit of turnover, especially in the DC office. And adding one more in OKC, losing Kristen and hopefully replace her. I think I will be taking over SS and dropping some of the others AND moving out of the front into Kristens old office...

I kept Arts axe handle...:) I think he would be pleased.

Dad is doing oK...not as wonderful as I would like, but he is trying SO hard and it makes me so proud of him. He does not want to go with me to my conference in DC, but is contemplating spending some days with Jchon and Dawn and maybe get some computer work done as well as some taxes...we'll see.

I wouldn't worry so much, but Christie will be back east a well, so he will out here on his own and that is scary for me, if not for him!

See? I post sometimes....

For Pete's sake! Now I remember!!!

I haven't posted in months...I couldn't remember how to post a new blog! :) But I figured since it has been a year since I wrote anything I should as least say hello!

It is midnight and we have had a huge busy weekend, cleaning the yard, going to Denton for Daniels first birthday...but I have to get up for work in the morning, so this will be short for now!

But reading over the old posts, not much has changed! Little stuff is new, but for the most part I am doing what I have been doing. But for now, life is good...nothing to complain about that is of any importance in the long haul!

I'll try to catch up here more since I have figured out how to do it...assuming I can remember!

another blogger!

EJI has a blogspot now! Not sure how I get to his, but I'll try.

Yesterday, Daniel Allen was welcomed into the world by Jchon and Dawn! 8.6 lbs, 21.5 in.!

The rest of the week will be spend getting ready for next weekend at Dallas. SOOOOO much to do and SOOOOOO little time. It makes me dizzy thinking about it. And work..I am so behind at work! At least 50 cases sitting on my desk ready to be worked...

I found out today I have a fellow blogger on blogspot besides Sarah Stuck! My dear daughter-in-law Dawn! It would be nice if we all kept up on our day to day lives.

Today though was another good day for me. A young girl from North Carolina got her passport in time to go on a mission trip today because we bulldogged it through the Chicago passport office. It was a close call..it didn't get picked up by fedex until late this after noon, but she will have it in hand prior to 4 am Saturday! THESE are the things that make my job so awesome...

Tonight I was still pouring acryilics. I have about 12 gallons more to go, but somewhere on long the line I have to stop and do the kimple order ..about 2400 botttles! We have almost signed the lease for our traditionary studio! I am pretty excited...I hope we can pull it off!

A Spot of Paradise
Wow, I am looking at this blog for the first time in a year! Can you believe the changes! This March I am working in a different Congressional office, Frank has had VNS surgery (last August), we purchased Fashenhues in October and a new house in March! Yikes, what year!

Tonight I was bottling acrylics as we are low on several colors. Starting tomorrow (hopefully) I need to start bottling stains for a large order for Kimple. They want it before we leave for the Dayton Show on the 10th of this month. I am taking 5 days off for that show and one day for the Dallas show two weeks later. That should be it for awhile. But it is going to be a wild two weeks.

We are also looking seriously at opening a store front and becoming the new wave of the future at "traditionary" studio. Whew! a challenge to say the least.

OK..have to write myself some emails to remind myself of many things for tomorrow. I will try and write me more often!
