On The Road Again....

'Bout time I updated, huh? :) Yeah, been a uber-busy 'vacation', but we are back!
It's very hard to consentrate when Mike is sitting beside me doing dead-on impressions of Carl from Slingblade. LMAO! Somebody make him stop!! OMG, I can't work under these conditions!!! Now, he's doing Carl, doing Billy Mays. LMFAO!! Never a dull moment! Oh, I can't breathe from laughing so hard... lololol

Ok, I think he finally stopped. That boy, I tell ya...

We got home the 11th, and stayed home for a few days because his 'brother' was getting married the 15th. That was the best wedding I have ever been to. Short, sweet, to the point. It started late, and still took less than 25 minites. The reception? Oh. My. God. Clearly, alcohol was the main attraction. I suppose the celebration started around 3pm. I wasn't drinking, because I knew I had to drive home later. With or without Mike - his idea.. lol. A few hours into it, he did ask me if liked banana. Which I like raw banana's, but not really things flavored like it. So he held up a wobbly finger, and went to the bar. He came back with a shot, plus the entire bottle. It was banana Shnapps. "Just take a sip" he urged. I lifted my eyebrow as I sniffed it. Smelled pretty good. So I took a sip. Not bad. So I slammed it down. Moments later, as I felt my hair slowly singe from the inside out, he told me it was 99 proof. He smiled & asked if I wanted more. "Um.. no. I'm good.." That was the only alcohol I had that night. I left a few hours later around 9 or 10, as I didn't feel that great all day. The groom brought Mike home around 12:30am. Much earlier than I would have thought. Already in bed by that time, I heard what I thought was a light knock. Then I heard it again. Then a loud *THUD* What the hell!? I jumped up & went to the door. *shakes head* I went & got dressed, then brought him in the rest of the way. After I helped him into bed, I saw his favorite tie was cut in half. Which still upsets me. It wasn't cheap. Found out the next day, the groom actually was wearing it when it got cut off - with a steak knife. I think I left the party just in time. The next day I was at my parents while Mike was at home, recovering. Lucky never left his side. They even went & peed together, then both crawled back into bed. Aww.

I got some claying done at my parents house, mostly the cinnamon dough ornaments right before the NASCAR race came on. I think I made a few snowmen, too. I don't know yet how to add pictures here, but I uploaded everything in my Flickr page. Look for ClayrPlayr. Today, I uploaded things I made for the craft show last weekend, plus a new venture for the truck - air dry clay. This was a test of the Creative Paperclay. Next, I will see how my new Darwi air dry clay works out. There's no paper fibers in it, and I hope it's not as messy to work with. We shall see!

Going through South Dakota right now.. lots of trees & cows. And fence. Don't get me wrong, it's truely gorgeous! I have always been a sight-seer. It's a requirement for being a professional traveler... Til next time, kids...

Quickie

My, how fast the days go by! I can't believe it's Friday already, and I haven't even opened my new clay yet!! I KNOW!! We've been so stinkin' busy at the other place, it's unreal. But a well-over-heaping dump truck load of crap later, it's finally starting to take shape up there. Mother nature didn't exactly help when she showed up the other day, either. "HELLO! GUESS WHO'S HERE??!?" Biotch. But anyhoo's.. As soon as I go vacuum the big truck, I'll be on my merry way to my parents house to finally get some orders done. I may make a cherry cheese cake just for S&G's.

I've had to take Mike's other truck, the land yaught, to my parents house, as I thought the battery was dead because it wouldn't start. Well, it wasn't. Someone siphoned the gas out of it while we were on the road. And it was a full tank, as I filled it up the day before we left last time. I despise this neighborhood. Last year someone went around siphoning gas from vehicles, including the neighbors lawnmower. I hope they choked on it. Now that I'm thoroughly pissed all over agin, me & my cramps are gonna go clean.

Happy Happy, Joy Joy

Well, color me tickled pink! Make that maroon. I hate pink. We are officially on our way... you guessed it.. ~ H O M E ~ YAAAY!! =^D *does happy dance, scaring passing trucks* I'm tempted to get out now, and start running towards Pennsylvania.. lol. My Premo, Paperclay, Darwi clay, beads, new dragon necklace (I named him Turk, because he's turquoise)... these are all goodies awaiting me at my mom & dad's house!!! The S10 keys are already in my hand, and we're still in Maryland. :) I'm so tired, hot & dirty from unloading in Baltimore. Almost passed out it was so freakin' hot. I also blame the heat for almost crushing every bone in Mike's hand. He had ahold of the one deck above & behind the sleeper, and told me to slide it. Okay.. soo... I *may* have slid it the wrong way. Good thing he has good reflexes, because I was just *GONE*. Ooopsie.

Depending on how much signal we have when we get home, I will try to post here when I can. LOTS of orders to work on.. if I can keep my hands out of my goodie box, that is. CLAY, people. Box of clay! Sheesh.. :)

So, this is what it's like..

.. on the *inside* of a blog! Yep, I finally went & did it. Hope you guys are happy!! :) I sure wont be posting every day. Some states haven't crawled out from the stone ages yet & put up cell towers. I'll be learning as I go, here, so bare with me.
