Due to extreme peer pressure, which I am of course immune to, however this time I decided to indulge it, I have signed up for NaBloPoMo. This means I am going to make a valiant attempt to post one blog post a day for an entire month. True it is not as arduous a task [...]
Surfing around the web the other night, looking for I don’t know what, I ran across a blog post about a rather novel holiday, Discardia, whose main purpose is declutterng of the home and mind. Since this is something we’ve been working on for a while the concept really spoke to me.
Discardia is celebrated by getting rid of [...]
I still can’t throw pots. Ok, well I suppose if I picked one up and pitched it across the room I could, but actually forming one on a wheel, fughedaboutit.
Given my throwing difficulties I’ve decided to change tacks and focus on slab building instead. One thing I find appealing about pottery is the ability to add [...]
I am testing a crossposting plug in that should update my Xanga blog when my personal blog is updated. So did it work?

Once we got the call letting us [...]

Some of the more exciting events included KD finishing school for the semester, Jc’s parents visiting, and my pulling off the biggest surprise of my life.

Did I mention I don’t like the low profile tires on my car? Really they are the only aspect of the car I don’t care for and could do without. While they do seem to add to the overall handling ability of the car, making it a bit sharper, they also lack any cushioning making [...]
And no I’m not talking about a super sale.
While driving to pick KD up from school we lost a tire. Driving down Dominion Blvd a car was stopped for no apparent reason in the middle of the road so everyone was passing them somewhat on the shoulder to get by. After slowing down tring to [...]
