the biggest disappointment that I have about talk like a pirate day this year is that I will be celebrating my grandmother-in-law-to-be's 90th birthday, and she probably wouldn't appreciate being called a lily livered swabbie.

how about a dusty ol' wench?

Probably not, no. I think she'd be more confused than irritated. "Talk like a pirate? Why's that?"

yesterday, I inadvertently started pulling up the gross vinyl tile that covers the pretty linoleum floor-- the one installed (most likely) when the house was built, in a time when solid oak and understated coving were not uncommon. when a brick exterior was more than a facade.

oh, yes, I like this house.

my poor boy came home to his house torn to shit and...

My experience is that stuff like that always takes twice as long as expected and costs twice as much as budgeted. This is why I've given up on projects like this. It makes me want to throw myself on something sharp. frown But I think you're onto something with the idea of finishing what you start. I know I'm guilty of beginning new stuff before the original project is done.

Hang in there! Eyes on the prize!

sometimes, days have the potential to be fucking terrible. menstruate through clothing. lock yourself out of the car. forget to eat until 2pm. get a phone call from your hysterical and senile grandmother.

sometimes those days don't live up to that potential.

and you spend a long evening over sushi with sister and mom. you spend the afternoon with wonderful friends. you have a conversation...

we ordered invitations. wow.

and my aunts are planning a shower. wow.

and I have a nasty head cold. no wow for that one.

and, just because having zero dollars is no fun at all, I must continue to whore myself out:
I am selling wine bottle chillers for $25.

click = ♥

(those ones are already sold, but it will give you an idea...

I quoted my Aunt Mary Jo $300, and her response, via email, was Okay thanks but guess not ! I wrote an email up explaining WHY I would charge that amount, and received the advice that she would not understand a word of it.

so. okay.

okay.

yesterday's front-page above-the-fold story, complete with 4"x6" picture: She says he was already married! oh, I'm sorry. in...

Dear Aunt Mary Jo,

No, I cannot just "whip up" the piece you are asking for.

clay (wet) costs about 50 a pound. it shrinks 12% in firing and loses a respective amount of water. glazes are between 50 to $1 per ounce. underglaze pencils are ridiculously expensive, generally running around $10 per pencil-- and it lasts about a third as long as a regular...

this thought makes me feel evil. I'm scared to think it, even more scared to type it and post it.

I'm starting to think that everything so good in my life is meant to counteract this silly body of mine. my life is so good in pretty much every way. I even made a graph about it one time.

the other day I was trying...
