Pottery-by-me!

to relieve a little stress, Meg and i went to Pottery-by-me and painted, well, pottery! i haven't been there since i was little, so i was as giddy as a little girl.

Meg painted a set of square coasters while i painted a butter dish to match a set of salt and pepper shakers i had purchased a while back. we won't be able to bring it home til next week, but i thought you'd like to take a look and see.

we came home and played scrabble (i haven't played this in forever!) where she completely crushed me in all three games. is "Zil" really a word? before she left, we took a quiz to see how white we were...yes, i said it, a quiz to see how white we were. J and i ordered a bunch of books from Amazon and Stuff White People Like was one of them. if you're not familiar with it, SWPL originated as a blog that listed things that white people like, duh! the list has gone as high as #107 on the website, but #150 in the book. after taking the test, somehow i was the most "white" out of Meg and J. i came in at 53%, while J and Meg rounded out the quiz with 48 and 44%. how did that happen? i'm not really sure. i'll read further on into it another time, but in the mean time, i shall go and read Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins; the first book to be read from Lacey's book club. (ok, we are nerds)i'm a bit of a slow reader, mostly because i feel like i have better things to do (like crafting), than picking up a book in the middle of the day and reading it, so i just read before bed (usually about a couple of pages and sleep overcomes me) or read while i'm at work. so i need this head start, cause Lacey is a marathon reader...what a bookworm! (i kid!)

and speaking of crafting, i better get my butt in gear. my list is getting longer everyday i'm not crafting. now that the show is finally behind me, i can start working on the giveaway prizes, the robot for the swap, and things to sell at Downtown Live! it's hard to craft when it's been so nice outside and i get distracted. i need to train myself to be better. i'll work harder next week, haha.
