Oh, I'm here...but I wanna be outside..
Its just too pretty to stay inside, but I"m up here in the dark cavernous studio getting work done...I've got a nice set of lentils ready to go, but I have more to do...I saw two bright yellow gold finches on the feeder already, but not the Bunting...I managed to get a ton of pics of him yesterday afternoon, but they aren't all that great, as I was in my studio shooting thru a window w/ a screen on it...still, I've got lots of pics to post (clogs, birds, beads, etc.) just prob not today...I've got tons to do and not enough time to do it..what else is new...I like having wide open days where I can just work and don't have to worry about emails, shipping, errands, phone calls, and all the other stuff that takes me away from making beads...
I'm still finalizing our tax info...they filed an extention for us and we're almost done, just have to finalize some details about the new size of the studio and prices on some purchases...I've got to line up a storage facility so we can store our lawn equipment, since we have no garage and i'm paranoid that this stuff will grow legs and walk outta the backyard...not that we live in a bad part of town, we don't...but there are punk kids everywhere, no matter where you live...even at our house in Austin our fence was tagged twice with graffiti - and this was considered a 'good' part of Austin where stuff like that wasn't supposed to happen...it just learns ya that it happens everywhere, unless you live in a gated community or are in the Batcave, but then it probably happens there too...We walked home from dinner last night and our neighbor had the moo cow on her leash and was letting her eat by the side of the road...she got spooked as we came near her (slowly) cause I think she thought we were there to 'heard' her or wrangler her...she started trotting off pretty briskly and the dude had to scramble after her...we stopped and she settled and we walked around her and she was ok with that...such a cool moo cow...
I won't have beads tomorrow because I have to take Brian to the foot doctor to have his toe operated on (again)...he had the nail cut out about 6 months ago in an out-patient kinda thing, but its grown back and now looks terrible...hopefully this more invasive surgery will knock out the nail so it won't grow into his toe...his other foot seems fine...I had ingrown toenails all thru high school while in Drill TEam...being cooped up in tights and shoes and putting pressure on them was murder..now I can wear sandals and it keeps everything good...I know what he's going thru...So, tomorrow is out, and I doubt I'll get anything made, so it might be a few days before you see something from me...I'll letcha know, tho...I will prob work today and see what I can get accomplished..its all up in my head, i just need to get it onto the mandrel...
