As you may be able to tell it has been quite awhile since my last post. Mostly due to the fact that we are a retail business and the holidays bring a level of chaos that just does not allow for sitting and blogging at my convenience. There was not a weekend in December that we (and I mean we, the husband, the kid, the whole crew) were not at the studio working and glazing and helping customers create their fantastic holiday gifts. Mike is our lifesaver spending every one of his weekends helping out in the kiln room. Courtney learned to glaze this year and did a great job on the little ornaments and whatnot. And the rest of us spent the month running around trying not to look like chickens with our heads cut off. We had a great season and are enjoying the relative calmness now. It's just enough time to breathe for a minute because then we gear up for Valentine's Day and before we know it Easter and Spring Break. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's just enjoy today!
And today we are planning a vacation. Courtney and I are getting ready to take off on a road trip. (Poor Mike has to work, but someone's gotta do it!) We leave late this week for California to spend some time with Yai Yai and our friends in the LA area. Sunshine and warmth, here we come! We will out of necessity have our cold weather clothes on as we drive away but we will be shedding layers the farther south we get. Sandals and t-shirts are in the suitcase. This reminds me that I should get a pedicure. These toes haven't seen sunshine in months!
I'm looking forward to time with the kiddo in the car, and to time with the three of us for many many days together. And really looking forward to the mental break and the anticipated return when I am relaxed and ready to begin the tax season at my other "job". It's going to be a great spring!
