holytoastrThe weather was freakishly nice this morning. The sun was out and the temperature was in the mid-70s. I took advantage of it to run some errands.
First I stopped at the post office to mail a wedding planning book to amanda. I splurged and got the priority shipping. :P Five cents extra!
After that I bought halloween decorations. I have a theory that maybe we don't get trick or treaters is because they don't know we are here. So now there is garland and skeletons hanging from the door. It is festive and goes well with the strange blood stains that appeared outside our door this week.
The nice weather didn't last long though. By the time I had to go to pottery, it was pouring. I could barely see the road. I'm glad I got there safe!
Pottery has become increasingly frustrating for me. First, katie's yarn bowl cracked again. I told myself that was ok though because I had two extras on the shelf to trim. (It has gotten to the point where I just keep making yarn bowls, expecting them to crack before I get to the end.)
The first one, I cut a hole through the bottom. The second one was not leather hard yet, so I couldn't trim it.
I made another one today that will hopefully be leather hard next week. One of these is going to make it to the end.
Bizarrely, while the yarn bowl and another bowl I made 3 weeks ago were still as wet as when I made them, a third bowl I made that day was bone dry. Which made it VERY hard to trim.
I got it trimmed in the end, but I wasn't able to add the embellishments I wanted to try.
In addition to yet another yarn bowl, I also threw an extra regular bowl. Let's see what they end up doing next week.
I think I might re-take beginner's pottery 2. I feel like I need a refresher because I've been having so much trouble lately. It might help if I had a teacher reinforcing the basics for me and pointing out what I've been doing wrong lately.
After pottery, it was still pouring. I had wanted to go to the used book store, but decided it wasn't worth marching over there in this weather.
As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, it stopped raining.
As soon as I pulled into the apartment parking lot, it started to pour again. I just can't win.
I have spent the rest of the evening doing laundry and watching card captor sakura. I finally finished the second season! Now I'm onto the third. Eriol is very suave. Yue is very pretty, but has a terrible personality. He needs to lighten up.
I need to go to bed soon because tomorrow I am having an adventure with allicia again. We're going to eastern market!
