Shannon - GlassMistress

I wish you all were here. I'd take you to a super boring gallery opening where you can eat iffy h'orderves made by little old ladies and drink horrible cheap wine. Then I'd buy you a real drink somewhere else :-)

Goooood morning FF!

A moment to say hello, and forever to say goodbye. Goodnight FF, FFforever in my heart.

Dear Mods, please give us until 11:59 pm tomorrow. We are still busy proving that we are a family, a community and what social media really should be.

Taxes done, owed money, FF closing ... Its the last of the booze but I'm lit. Part celebration, part commiseration, part grieving. You?

I'm still here, are you still there?

Confession: I have clicked 'like' more times today on FF than any other in my history here.

Hey! Remember that time I made a bead and it flew on Shuttle Endeavor? good times.

Do I owe anyone beads?

Bad news. I owe $401 to the IRS (can you say 'bead sale'?), good news I found an error in last years taxes that might create a tiny refund. I just have to determine if the work would be worth it.

Sniff ... will you sign my yearbook?

Before we close up shop here you should all know that it's Dan the MAN. I screwed up typing his name here early on and it just sorta stuck. Been typing MAN here ever since. For the record he's not Daniel, he's Dana but, shhh, don't tell :-)

Imma try again. #cheersff

With love, #cheersff

Tax program will not allow me to enter my mileage information, when I click the button to add it just scrolls to the top of the page. I spend an hour with support, she gave up and sent me up a tier. I was on hold with them 45 minutes when I was disconnected. I'm now at the 30 minute mark of being on hold as I start the process over.

So ... for the first time ever it seem I may owe taxes (still working on it). I have no deductions and I made too much on bead sales last year. Good and bad I guess.

Gooooooooood Morning FF!

Happy crazy bed head...oh, and happy Easter everyone :-)

I never did figure out how to do a custom background on my profile, it was going to be glass..I know you are shocked.

Dudes! I think I fixed my foot! I can walk barefoot on tile with no pain! I wore shoes today that a week ago I couldn't take ten steps in! My suspicion is that the tiny, hard bit that I got out was a piece of glass that has been in there a long time.

Crazy early torch session tomorrow, then group torch meeting at the studio. Sunday, lengthy torch session and more work on income tax. What's on tap for your weekend?

Happy Friday everyone!

The thing on my foot is turning black, I figure the skin is dying from all the swelling so I went after it tonight and cut some of the skin away, I even managed to lance it slightly and as I thought there's goo in there. I'm wondering if the Doc in the Box would lance it for me or go nuts doing tests.

Aww, look what my honey had waiting for me when I got home:-)

Sales tax for the quarter DONE ... now on to income tax .... ugh!

Received an invite for a first communion ... gift event?

How many of you know MAN's name?

*taps foot* Waiting for the mods to say "April Fools" .....

Lots of vacuuming and a new battery back up and the tower is up and running again ... and the files I need are not on it ...... le'sigh.

Mornin FF,

Off today, WOOT! Laundry and dishwasher are running, show pieces boxed, named, and labeled. Up next, wash Emma, wash me, then off to the studio to deliver my pieces, get the truck washed, go to the warehouse store and stop at Firestone and see if they can replace a tire sensor.
