Yeah, we homeschooled for a long time. Kids turned out alright.

Sharing this because I know this experience this family had. Good article.

These are so good. Wait a few days and they will be even better. So good...

Continuing my Japan-centric year

Just watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi. So good.
Speaking in tongues good.
Fuck me good.
Really good. http://www.magpictures.com/jirodreamsofsushi/

Dog Shopping

Reminded me of years working with dogs in an animal shelter in a medium size city on the other side of the country.

Volunteers do a lot of good work, all over the country. My friend saw this sweetie Terrier. Yep, cute.
I do not have a dog life. So cannot consider getting a dog.

So many cute ones!

Pick me!

Cat testing. Dog OK - cats yeow!

Hug testing ♥

Walk testing. All good!

Smile for the camera testing ; )

Good work. Adopt a dog if you need a dog.

Hello again!

Back again. It has been almost a year! Good grief.
My main goal is to find a new job.
Not much has been accomplished in the apartment.
Fairies did come and put an IKEA Tarva together, that's something.

Break the job down into small bits.

Fairy wisdom.

Woodland Fairy says "Just kick it."

Leverage.

Getting things done.

The thing did get done. IKEA Tarva.

Now I want another one to put next to it.

Got a shelf with posts for the towels hung up in the boring bathroom, snaked electricity out onto the balcony,

put up a pole going across to hang curtains or whatever, grew green beans and tomatoes and cucumbers,

made (1) single kinda lousy painting, hung up 2 chalkboards, and bought a new red pot to replace the one I left behind in Rhode Island.

So a few things got done, barely a dent. It is very slow and discouraging. 

I have been thinking about Tiger dreams.

Even when tigers are stuck in the zoo, they still have dreams.

Fierce tiger dreams.

Working on my neglected blog and some classes.

Big changes.
Getting ready to start teaching, so jewelry should have it's own page over here.(I think)

I have spent a number of hours trying to figure out the best way to get out class information,
with a few photos and all the facts.
fret. fret. fret.

The mice should have their own page, too. (I think)

Marcus punched in Great Balls of  Fire while Tilly thought about all the songs she'd heard on car radios.
At Johnny Rocket's in Valencia, California

I explored some newsletter templates, but all of them seemed to take me off to another site and make more work, even though some of them looked more elegant and cool than I look here.
fret. fret. fret.

I have finished most of the sample pieces for the classes.

I am not worried about the actual days of teaching, that is fun for me.  I am worried about presenting
the classes clearly, so the people who want to sign up know what to expect.
fret. fret. fret.
