I'm having a good week

And I haven't even blogged about it! Mom and Dad came to visit, and we did a million fun things- shopping at Ikea, eating Ethiopian, Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, looking for bathroom lights for the parents house, not going to work, visiting Fallngwater- what a hoot! As a result, I have a new light in my living room and a fridge full of doggie bags. Hooray! I also got to show off my new wood-fired ceramics, which mostly turned out really cool. I'll work on getting some pictures of this up, they have a very organic look which is different from what I've done in the past.

I didn't get pictures from Fallingwater, hopefully Mom and Dad will post some.

Everything is fine now, but a consequence of cleaning up and looking at all these new ceramics, I managed to chip a piece of glass into my eye on Saturday, a few hours before Dad got to town. It wasn't very painful, but it never did feel right until we went to the Optometrist on Wednesday and Dad held my hand (and head) while the doc used his deadly sharp tweezers to yank the glass shard off the front of my eye. And yes, I could see that. Thank god Dad was there, or I much more likely would have had a long procedure to remove the tweezers from my face. Eyeball is fine now- but don't forget to wear safety goggles!

It is also really nice to have the folks around for normal things like sharing meals and hanging out, makes me excited about going home for Christmas!
