I just learned that you cannot write a new entry...and edit another one at the same time...because you'll lose your newly written entry. See, I knew there would be a learning curve involved...
It's 7:52am on Saturday morning, and I woke up a little bit ago... and noticed that my little flower was about to fall off the main page... so I swooped in (like superwoman...well, technically she doesn't swoop, but you get the idea) and started at my administration page.
need tea. yes, need some tea. hold on... back in a minute.
ok, the kettle is on the stove...i'm sure it will heat quickly - am still getting acquainted with the gas stove...never used one before coming to this new house... so far i've burned brownies, undercooked a cake, and am still trying to figure out the stove top.
Now tea is made...in a hand-thrown mug...by me - it's fun to use them... i took a pottery class all year last year... it was such a blessing, somethign i've wanted to do for so long... loved my teacher, the other students were so interesting and encouraging... loved my monday night routine - leave work ASAP (as soon as possible), change into dust/clay friendly clothes, grab a bite to eat or bring it with... and start wedging the clay... then throw it on the wheel... then there's the possibility of adding handles or other designs... carving... and then there's trimming the piece... and two kiln firings... and glazings... you know? i really miss it. unfortunately, this isnt' the time for me to go back... i'd end up spending too much time in the studio, and i know this... so i won't let myself sign up. i have other priorities at the moment... but one day i will go back. i may even purchase my own wheel and kiln... and even though i enjoyed being 'alone' in class and doing my own thing, it was a social time too... perhaps it wouldn't have the same impact on me, alone in my garage with my wheel and kiln. maybe i needed it at that time... needed the clay, the teacher, the fellow classmates... are you all familiar with the american television show CHEERS, about a bar in Boston? there's a character on it named Norm... every time he entered the bar, the crowd would shout his name "Norm!" and he'd greet everyone on his way to getting a long-awaited beer... that's how i felt at the pottery studio - people said my name, and were seemly glad to see me. Felt good. Needed it. Need it now... but it's not the right time. It's probably time for me to move on and find a new Cheers bar... oh, I think tomorrow I'll sign up for membership class at the church i've been attending on/off for the past few years.. perhaps that will help fill a need... i'm all about filling my needs right now - they're not too much, i don't think... to be heard, hugged, and hello-ed (the 3 H's)
:)
on that note, my tea is just the right temperature to take long sips, so I must bid you farewell until the next time my little flower starts drifting off the main page... hope you have a good afternoon or evening - my morning is off to a good start...
