Jun. 7th, 2009 03:29 pmSpent yesterday traipsing around central Texas and painting pottery. It was supposed to be a feast gear class, but I've never been a huge fan of ceramic feast gear (for breakage reasons) and it's also very modern looking forms and painting to me, so I wouldn't use this particular stuff anyway. Mostly I just did it for an afternoon of inexpensive entertainment. Unfortunately Jason and I are a bit slow with the painting so we had to take our stuff home to finish it. I'll let you know when/if it ever gets done. On the bright side, it was a wonderful afternoon spent with a bunch of really lovely people, so I quite enjoyed myself. And I'm sure the plates and goblets will look nice somewhere in the house. Or who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself and use them.
Today I got up at a reasonable time and tackled the last of the lawn furniture. Table and chair oiled, and chaise assembled and oiled. Let it sit for a few hours before wiping off the excess and asking Jason to move it all to the backyard. And by the time he'd moved the last piece I realized my error... he'd just finished mowing the lawn and all sorts of clippings were getting blown around and stuck to it. So I asked my very understanding husband to drag it all back into the garage to dry. It will probably take longer to dry there, but it won't have all kinds of grass stuck to it forever, so I'll have to accept that. I'm especially excited about the chaise. All the fantasies I had in Edmonton of lounging in the sun are coming back in full force and I can't wait for it to be dry. Funny enough, I bought this stuff ages ago, even before we'd planned on moving and I never even got the chaise out of the box there because I had no where to put it if it was assembled. I knew I'd have a home for it eventually :)
Other than that I have accomplished surprisingly little today. Unloaded the dishwasher and reorganized one of the cabinets that was just a "throw stuff in there" when unpacking with the movers and that's about it. Lots of stuff I could get done today, just having a hard time finding any motivation.
Have to go work the door for the roller derby game tonight. Not sure why I volunteered for that one, but now I'm committed. Don't think I'll stay to watch the game when my shift is up, just not that interested today.
