<p>Not fun: getting that splinter in my foot removed today. It's been there for 2 months or something, and while I can't see it, it's a pea size lump in the center of the ball of my foot. This is bad timing with GCM half this weekend, but it was the only first-of-the-day appmt the podiatrist had for a while.</p>

<p><strong>QOD: </strong> Regardless of the travel you've done so far in your life, if you only had one more trip in you to do, where would you go and why?</p>

<p>Doc shaved a divit out of my foot but couldn't find the splinter. So it's either in there deeper, or it was a keratoma. He said sometimes when you get a puncture would like a splinter, the skin around the puncturing item gets pushed inside, if that makes sense, and it gets hard. Which is what he thinks this is. He put a bit of acid on it to dissolve whatever hard skin might be left. So now it stings. pfftht.</p>

<p>Jack is whining at me so I need to get him out before I go to work.</p>

<p><br>
Here's a dog poop story for Lena:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last night when I got home I took the boys out so they could do their thing. Since our back yard isn't fenced, we walk (with them on leashes) down the street. A number of cars were driving down the street on their way home from work. A few houses down from ours Jack squats in the tree lawn and lays a pile. I had a bag ready to pick it up, but Jack starts kicking and LAUNCHES the turds out into the middle of the street. Seriously, it was like straight out of a movie. Jack standing there kicking with his back legs, really digging in with his toes and kicking hard and looking all proud of himself, and me, watching the turds flying (their arc was as tall as me) out into the street, right in front of a car.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The car ran the turds over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We 3 stood there for a minute. The boys looking at me and me looking at the turds smeared on the street, debating. I decided I wasn't going to try to pick (wipe?) them up and we walked back home.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info the other night. I think that's a bit more than she wants to spend though. And I think she would do better with a traditional keyboard.</p>

<p>I keep picturing turds flying through the air in slow motion.</p>
<p>Fun:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Front row - 4 bunnies glazed white with pink noses and black eyes. I'll fire them tomorrow.</p>
<p>Middle row - a set of frogs (the ridges in the back are to catch the blue/green glaze I'm going to use), and a set of sheep. These will be bisque fired tomorrow.</p>
<p>Back row - another set of bunnies (I'll bisq them tomorow) and a set of turtles (bisq fired, I'll glaze them Saturday) </p>
<p> </p>
<p><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/82850/width/1000/height/800/flags/" target="_blank"><img alt="e-SaltAndPeppers.jpg" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="16694" data-type="61" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/content/type/61/id/16694/width/504/height/360" style="; width: 504px; height: 360px"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're small projects that don't make much of a mess, so I've been pinching them out in the living room (on the floor with a lap desk over my legs) while hanging out with Dh. He just shakes his head at me while I work on them, because they make me giggle while working on them.</p>
