I didn't pick up a book once this weekend. Wipe the shocked look off of your faces.
For those of you who don't know me well:
1. This is a very rare occurrence, in fact I am pretty sure there are more blue moons in a year than days that I don't read. Just to reinforce the point, I keep a yearly list of what I have read and I average between 225- 275 books a year. Yes, I know I am a nerd. Did I mention that I didn't read for 2 days in a row?!?!?!
2. I hope you get to know me better, so comment so I can know you then we can be cyberfriends. Yeah!
And to top it off, I haven't even read today since I got a ride into work rather than taking a train. So you might ask...Is it because you don't like The Liars' Club?
Well, I don't love the book and I can obviously put it down. I have read many, many better southern childhood memoirs. But I am not using the 80 page rule and hopefully I can finish this week. It is not the book that is keeping me from reading, it is an evil thing called work, which I better get back to right now.
Oh and just in case you were wondering...
I finished the second relief last week and will be carving the third and final one this week. This is probably a good thing since I have my next 3 or 4 projects already planned. Barbara, when are you going to class with me? :)

That is amazing. Not reading and the pottery.
Did you at least glance at a magazine?
No magazine, it is orginal design. What I did was draw the patterns onto tracing paper. Then I trace it onto the clay using a knitting needle. Next, I redefine some of the lines to fit the shape of the clay and then I use carving tools to carve the design out of the the clay.
Uh, something must be amiss in the universe because last week I READ every day, even to the extent of not watching much TV!!!!
Look out planet, something wicked this way comes........
errr I am idiot. No I didn't even read People this weekend like I do every Saturday.
Take comfort in this, I actually went to the public library, yesterday! It's been so long, that I had to update my info, and I've been at this address for more than 3 years.
It looks like you were productive in other areas.
Wow...i don't even think i can count that high. That's alot of books...I usually get on some topical kick and get 5 books from the library and end up reading a few pages in each. Then i owe $5.

I am sure the library loves you since they are short on funding :)
