We used to have a thing we said in our department when I worked at the Enginerding company… when everything is important, nothing is important. I feel that way right now – everything that’s on my list is something super important and shit needs to get done… so I think …
Remember me talking about my fitness tracker throwdown earlier this year? Remember how I mentioned, when I got my first Leaf, that it wouldn’t sync with my phone no matter what? That I tried all of their fixes, nothing fixed it, and eventually they sent me a new one. Well. …
For those playing along at home, here’s the current state of the union. Over the last couple of days I’ve transferred all my photos taken from 1999-2018 to my laptop (poor thing is very, very full now). I don’t need them all, but thought it was easier to transfer everything …
Lately I’ve been trying to make better choices, healthier choices (y’all know that, I’ve blogged about that before). Someone on one of the Word of Mouth boards for my town started a walking group (but it’s an early AM thing and I don’t want to give up watching Farscape with …
I talked about my new planner here, and mentioned it here, but realized I never really got back into talking about it after I’d used it for a while. So here we go… an update on how I’m using the Rituals for Living Dreambook & Planner. First off, it fits …
I got so much done yesterday it’s almost ridiculous. I packed up preorders. I packed up soap club. I uploaded all of my work social media for the week. I went through my website and added two categories, reworked the front page of HaldeCraft, and went through a few pages …
No, really. Last week kind of flew by. The torts are absolutely loving their new home, and I still haven’t even made it as awesome as I have plans for. And they’re so happy with the plants I put in there for them (spider plants, aloe, and a few other …
I can somewhat understand how people think they have missing time; I mean, I’m sure it’s not aliens, it’s just being busy… but still. Where does the time go? I am pretty sure I did not nap my week away, but I can’t speak for this guy. Mostly all he …
Seriously, where’s my day? I left it here on my desk this morning next to my purse, and I think someone came in and stole it. I swear I was just eating breakfast about ten minutes ago, and now I’m ready for a nap to get enough energy to eat …
Some days it’s even not raining, and I can write a blog post! I know I’ve been knocking on our internet (or lack of it) lately when really I should be grateful that we have internet out here in the sticks at all… but when your job is online, and …
… does anyone know any lyrics of that song other than those?! We’ve been getting some good soakers lately. Good for the garden, good for the aquifer, good for helping to put out wildfires. I saw on the Clay County Emergency Services page yesterday that they were working on four …
Who was I talking about the Oz books with? Most people I mention the Oz books to only know about the first book, maybe the second one. There are actually… fourteen. I had a set when I was a child (mysteriously disappeared by The StepMonster (TM)) and managed to find …
The phone battery case did not work out after all; I got it, charged it, it told me it was charged, I asked it to charge my phone, and it told me it didn’t have a charge. I plugged it back in, it told me it had a charge. I …
I was in our driveway yesterday, heading to the post office, when something caught my eye. Something just didn’t look right…. You know how you see something all the time and somehow some time it just looks different and you can’t put your finger on it….? It took me a …
I started this post on … I don’t know… Monday? And keep getting sidetracked. Clay and texture is in the other room, whispering to me. It’s pretty tough to take a picture of your phone, so instead of showing off my new battery case (looks just like a regular case, …
Saturday, what a day, rocking all week with you! Whooaaa-whoaaa- no, really, whoa. Nobody needs that earworm this early in the morning. I’ve had a couple of really good productive days in the studio this week. Yes, I get things done every day, but somehow computer work or getting along …
We’ve reached that part of summer that’s full of rain… and boy howdy do we need it. Remember just a week or two ago when I was saying that all our grass was brown and dead? Green and lush, now, yo! Normally it means an afternoon thunderstorm, and we’ve had …
I spent most of yesterday shirking work and being social (shhhh, don’t tell my boss). I started off meeting a long-time online friend for lunch – we’ve only met in person once before, when she stayed at my house to take the bar exam – and yet online, we’ve known …
First thing this morning, I said “write a blog post! Start the week off right!” but then I remembered I needed to upload social media for the day, so I did that first. Then I was like, “I’ll write a blog post right after I shower!” only then I was …
Today is Uncle Joe’s birthday (we celebrated last night). Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday. And then Tuesday is That Poor Man’s mom’s birthday. Hooray, June! For Christmas last year I got some fun napkins for Aunt Gay and Uncle Joe, because they have parties all the time. I love that …
I have… four pairs of socks on the needles right now. And yet I’m contemplating buying more needles, so I can start on another new pair of socks. Maybe dial the startitus back a bit, eh? But then that does kind of describe most things I do. I am really, …
I went to see Rocketman with a friend yesterday, and y’all, it was amazing. I mean, the movie itself was beautiful and uplifting and magical… but the experience of going to the movie wasn’t bad, either, and how often can you say that?! I know I’m years behind the rest …
The heat is melting my brain, y’all. And I was writing a post about how hot it was, and what I’ve been doing the last few days, and then the power went off — between the house AC, the studio AC, me firing the kiln, and then Cetty and Joe …
A million years ago, when I was in theater school, the last play I did was Sartre’s “No Exit”. (I played Inès , if you’re curious and have some knowledge of the play.) There’s a famous, if often misunderstood, line from that play that I love to this day… “Hell …
