my life is crazy/awesome and here is some catchup

In mild chronological order...

I bought a present for Juliet. I dont think her boyfriend likes it very much. Maybe he is intimidated, not sure. This 2 foot plastic gorilla now resides on top of our television.



















Juliet and I went hiking in New Hampshire near Lake Winnepau-sakidontknow-howtospell. Pretty awesome hike with great views at the top.

I played a little recorder at the summit to call to the birds and other nature residents. They said HI back.



























I got some new pottery back out of the kiln - 4 mugs made out of black clay, with my FAVORITE glaze combo (you may recognize this from a set of four slightly-squared bowls a few months ago.)






These mugs are some of my favorite pieces yet. The handles were a bit of a creative departure for me, but I actually am pretty satisfied there.






















I played in a golf tournament at work.
It's a good thing I took that Golf PE class in college (literally, I took it because I thought it might be useful in business.) I was in no way a super star, but at least I didnt 100% humiliate myself. Just around 98%.

On a side note, I'm pretty sure I carried the fashion baton for my team... agreed? agreed.





I became an accordian master.

well, no, I just played Juliet's accordian most ridiculously for about 4 minutes and she thought it was fun to take photos. But we did play a bunch of duets (her on accoridan, me on tambourine) and they were amazing, I am SO excited for our first performance in a couple weeks.





And now.... I'm off to Seattle for my half marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 days with Holly and her family, then 3 days with Manish in Spokane. Wish me luck/not breaking a leg!!
