I missed my pottery class, AGAIN!

Yesterday I was to go to my pottery class and I really did intend to go.  My niece is having a bit of a crisis right now and I got tied up talking to her on the phone.  Then my youngest daughter called and wanted to know what was going on with her cousin.  By the time I got off the phone, I was going to be late--but I got in the car and started driving to class anyway.  Halfway there, I realized that I had forgotten to pick up the DVD I needed to return to my friend, Andy, at class.  Oh well, there is always next week.

So I finally got there and was 45 minutes late.  As I got out of the car, I realized that I had also forgotten my towel, apron and tools.  Great!  At that point, I decided that someone was telling me not to go to class.  I got back into my car and went home. 

I really like this class even though I am no good at it.  I want to learn how to do this, so what is the problem?  I really don't know.  I love playing in mud and making mud pies, so that's not it.  I know I am not good at this, but I am learning and that's okay.  I don't know what the deal is.

Next week I will make myself go.  I will have to figure out what my problem is and deal with it.  In the meantime, I will work on my pictures and try to finish one of them.

Missed my pottery class!

I actually missed my class this week.  I didn't forget about it, I simply missed it.  I had so much company from out of town-my neice and my grandsons, that I was just too tired to go.  I feel bad, but I also think I needed the rest. 

I did go to another movie this week and this time I saw "Shutter Island".  I had read the book, so the movie was a little anti-climactic.
Since I already knew the story line, I simply enjoyed the scenes.

Everybody keeps saying how they felt that this movie finally "got it right" in presenting the mentally ill, but I don't agree.  I know that in the '50s there was not much in the way of mental health treatment to be found, but I certainly don't think that patients were sent off to live on an island because of their illness.

My sister said last night that we certainly have been seeing alot of movies lately and I have to say she is right.  We have.  I don't know why, but it seems to be the thing to do right now.
