Do ya think?
My first pottery pieces
The rusty key
My very first buckle ~ she's now living in Berkeley California
Early stages of "the new buckle"
Hmmm perhaps a cab in the center?
The backIt's 2:00am and I'm in a sound sleep after the three week run of the phone ringing all night long for my T-man to go and repair power lines in the middle of the night in the rain and snow. I'm so tired... my mind isn't resting, even though I'm sleeping there's action going on in the background of my mind. Last night I was desperately needing rest so THAT is what I attempted.... a solid night of sleep with no anticipated phone calls from the utility company.
This did not happen!!!! I was abruptly waken by the phone at 2 o'clock this morning, I turned and asked my sweets if he was on call and the tone in his voice.... A deep growl "NOOOOO"! We let the answering machine take the call, in the distance I heard a tiny voice, they sounded distraught. I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen to play the message back expecting something horrible had happened to a loved one.
OMG!!!!! It was a drunk 10-11 year old boy calling the wrong number, continually apologizing that he was drunk and mumbling words to who ever he thought he was talking to. He went on and on and was definately out of control. I swear he was barely out of diapers. Where were his parents, and on a school night? I went back to bed and wondered how this child was, is he going to be okay? His parents need to know but where are they?
I never went back to sleep, I pondered that message the rest of the night and hearing that little voice over and over. So, my much needed rest is gone. I'm sooooo tired and have a HUGE day, lots and lots of orders to get out and the belt buckle I've been wanting to finish but can't seem to find the time to do so.
Pleasantries..........that's what's on the menu today, all pleasantries! I bought an old rusty key for my friend who loves rusty things so I'm wrapping it up and sending it to her as well as a cup for my other friend who loves pottery as well. I made several cups a couple of years ago in Pottery class, that's yet another passion ... pottery. When I finally make time I'm throwing some clay and selling it on my other Etsy shop "the fire lilly".

I'm not sure what's worse, the phone waking you during the night or the fact that it was a call that would keep your brain going when you should be sleeping. Here's wishing warmer weather your way soon so you can both get some rest (then you could just unplug the phone)!
Hi Mellisa!
This is true, uplug the phone! I just worried about that little boy. I pondered calling the police and giving them the phone number so they can follow up and check on him. That young and drinking is unheard of... I think!
