Writing this at 2:40 Iowa time, accompanied with a glass of wine.  Was supposed to fly out today, however the flight was cancelled due to the airplane having mechanical difficulties.  Which in turn, screwed my connecting flight. The next flight out is in 2 days, so will be spending the new years with my inlaws. It's hard to keep a smile on my face, knowing that this wasn't my idea of how I wanted to spend Christmas break.  I took one for the team or the family.   It's 1 degree outside and the roads are icy with snow- feel like I'm trapped in an ice cube tray. With very slow internet and no cellphone coverage. 

But I realized a long time ago it's never about how I feel.....  If I voiced my opinion, I'd be a bitch, so I'll just keep quiet and try to aspire to be a "Stepford Wife."

Last week I made the poor decision to swing by Costco and pick up a few gifts...  While trying to navigate the mammoth sized cart amongst the crowds of people, a person smiled at me and told me "we are just wandering through the aisles".
I laughed, smiled, and thought to myself.  Yes, we are all here searching for something- perhaps happiness disguised in a colossal size marketed box.

The Tragedy- perhaps some of his most emotionally charged work.  

December's been a busy month, I'll have more photo's of my glass coming in January.  

I'm working on three different projects, all at the same time..  The magic is still happening, and the kiln is still firing!

 Been fighting a head cold...  This morning I woke up without a voice..  Although vision is unfaltering.   Hopefully will be back up soon :(
