When it rains, it pours... |
That is always how it works out with me. If ever one thing goes wrong, there is always something else that happens just to make it worse. A prime example was when Nathan and I were dating (over 4 years ago). My grandfather (well my grandmother's BIL) passed away, then my mom's recent x boyfriend (they broke up 3 weeks prior because of his addiction to pain medicine) was found dead in his home, then two days later my great grandmother passed away. That was a really tough week for me and I was so glad that Nathan was there with me. Well that was just an example. I am in now way comparing what has gone on with me this week to that.
Nathan has been having a ton of problems with his car overheating this week. We were thinking for a couple of days that we were going to have to go out Sunday to buy a new car (with NO MONEY nonetheless) because he thought the gasket was blown. Turns out it is a cheap fix. So Thursday night I had Renea pick me up for glassblowing class so he and the girls could go get the part and get the book for the car from the library (the book that tells him how to fix it). Well he got into an accident. Everyone is fine, thank God. The car is still drivable. Long story short, he was on his cell phone, trying to switch lines, gotta love call waiting, then he looked up and saw the truck in front of him was stopping. He slammed on the brakes and slide about 20 to 25 feet and ended up hitting the truck and going under it. No damage to the truck thank goodness. We just have to get our car fixed. A scratched up bumper and a bent hood. Drivable, yes. Do I want to drive it like that, no. When I am driving down the road and see a car dented, scratched, crunched or has any clue that it was in some sort of accident I always think that they are bad drivers. I don't want anyone to think that of me. I'm a good driver.
Nathan is overworked and underpaid. He is stressed and mad at himself for getting to an accident. It was a stupid mistake, but I am in now way angry or upset with him. Things happen, life happens, no one is perfect. I would not want him to be bitter toward me if I did anything like that. Now, yes I will give him a hard time about it after it is all said and done, but of course in our loving joking way. ;)
Well done venting about that. On to cooler things!
I finished my first totally awesome piece in open lab tonight! Whoot whoot!

It is a beautiful single flower vase. I am so proud of it! Is is about 5 inches tall. :) It took me about 35 minutes to make. I love everything about it.
Here is another piece I made.
This one only took me 15 minutes to make. It is a shot glass! Yup yup, mommy likes her tequila. lol I still need to cold work the bottom. Basically polish it so it is flat because the bottom is where I broke it off from the rod. I will have to post some pics later on of me glassblowing a piece.
Yeah I know, I'm a cool chic.

Beautiful vase!!! I LOVE that! And I'm glad you decided to give blogging a shot. I think you'll keep up with it, because it is an outlet that no one can challenge. It is not a message board or a conversation - simply an outlet for thoughts, feelings, stories, etc. And when life is a struggle, then at least it's interesting! :)
I LOVE the vase!!! It is beautiful! Great job! And I'm glad you decided to start blogging. It really is a great outlet for stories, feelings, and life. It isn't a message board or a conversation - no arguments or opposition :) And when life is a struggle, at least it leaves you with interesting stories!
That is so cool you know how to do glass blowing!! Is it a college class you are taking? I'm sorry to hear about your car damage but I'm so glad everyone is ok! Cute blog :) :) I hope I keep up with it too, I figure if I set my goal to post once a week I can DO that, if not more :) See you soon!
