OYKW has gone to MickeyD’s to get double cheeseburgers cause he decided life as we know it would end if he didn’t have a double cheeseburger and well, since he’s goin’ anyways, I might as well get one too, right? 😃 Anywho, tis chill time until chikin fryin’ time. ---

Yep, **FCM** , going on 2 hours at this show and no sales. Oh well, at least It’s keeping me busy and off the streets. I got good news while I was here though. I actually got accepted for the local trendy show that I applied to awhile back! 🙂 ---

And with that wardrobe malfunction you’ve got going on (The ‘Bombs Away!’ made me snortle) you’re all set to be ‘on the streets’ anyway, so you’re good to go no matter what! /flees Thank for the crossed appendages, everybody; it’ll work out one way or another. I already feel 20 times better than I have in almost a year, just having SOME kind of plan of action that I can take. Yeah, being a homebody is nice, and I love it, don’t get me wrong 😃 But remembering that I’m not dependant on this particular state for employment lightens a big load. Also I dreamt that I won 50K off a slot machine. 😛 So obviously I’m still wishful thinking a little bit. 😉 ---

You just reminded me. I dreamed I was taking a class in an underwater cave. And when the sharks came in, they didn’t scare me, but they creeped me out. ---

Where did the time go? When I went downstairs, I set **FCD** ’s shop clock (10:33) then went into my studio. I just quit, and it’s nearly 2!! Yoiks!! :eek: No wonder I’m tired and achy from sitting on that stool! But I waxed the bases of all of my pots (to keep glaze off them) then glazed 6 and mostly glazed a 7th (waiting for the underglaze to dry so I can put clear glaze over my art work.) I’ve got 6 penguin spoon holders to do, one big fat penguin (he’s gonna be a Santa Penguin) and 5 or 6 assorted pieces left to go. And as soon as my tape dispenser dries, I’ll glaze it, too. Then I’ll have a kilnload. yay! I’s hongree, too. Not a lot in the fridge, either. I suppose I could have cheese-n-crackers. But thanks to a certain **bear** , I want a cheeseburger! Not from McD’s tho - ick. p ---

Late Blurf. I’ve been dozy and unproductive all day, and haven’t done any of the things I was supposed to be doing. It’s now about 2 hours away from the earliest acceptable bedtime, and I still haven’t really woken up. I did fill in a stupid online job application/psychology test, which had ludicrous questions like ‘do you prefer pop or semi-classical music?’, and ‘would you prefer to live in a deep forest or a busy suburb?’, among the laughable obvious ‘do you get very angry at people for no reason?’ type questions. Apparently I’m not suitable for their job, and I’m not very suprised. I’ve just signed up to do a craft stall with a few friends in a week or so, **Sticky** , hopefully both you and I do better than the last one I did, where I only made the cost of the stall back 'cos I a won a gift voucher in the raffle. But, I just wanted to ask- do you have any spoon rings? ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > what is a spoon ring? Is it a ring made our of a spoon or a ring for a spoon? **Apes** it’s a ring for your spoon kinda like a napkin ring, 'cept you put your spoon in the ring after you use it. The ring is usually engraved with one’s name so one knows that is one’s spoon the next time one needs to use one’s spoon. Chikin is fried, rice is cookin’ and adult beverage in hand. Gotta get back to bein’ a good host. Just wanted to report in. ---

Yes, it’s a ring made out of a spoon handle. 🙂 They’re my best seller. Even today, I sold 2 rings and one or two other things. Never did make that last $7. 😃 ---
