PMS Trail Mix, Polymer Clay, and an Oven Crankier Than I

PMS Trail Mix = semi-sweet CHOCOLATE chips and walnut halves and more CHOCOLATE chips.
Polymer Clay = semi-relaxing and semi-frustrating depending on your hormonal status at the given moment.
Cranky Oven = dynamite = problem solved = don't mess with me on my WEEK! Foo'!

Okay, there are some technicalities with my title. One, it should be MS Trail Mix, there's nothing pre-menstrual about it.

Two, the oven really isn't cranky, just toxic. I scrubbed that sucker three times to try and scrape off the caked on cleaner that sat there for a week because we thought our major appliance bit the big one after not working for nine days. Go figure. Yeah, so I'd say the oven is just fine for Sculpey projects...maybe not so bueno for food projects...yet. With all the clay baking I've been doing, I'd say all the chemicals should burn off by the time I'm done. Whoot. Oh, I guess I didn't really blow it up either even though I was sorely tempted and the explosion in my mind would have put the Fourth of July to shame. An imagination is a terrible thing to waste...

So, here I be with my laptop as my snuggling companion and a half finished dragon staring empathetically in my direction. Hmm, I'm going to give myslef more credit. My dragonling is about 80-90% done. I simply have to figure out how I'm going to manage the webbing of the wings. Cloth or clay? And how in Hades do I plan on carrying out the mechanics of that little trick? I hate being stuck. Bing! Idea! TLS!!! (Translucent Liquid Sculpey) It's about time I've actually tried to use it for something...It'll definitely be interesting. In the long run, I foresee triumph, in the short run, I predict creative expletives and explosive tempertantrums... Such is creativity.

Huh, I should probably write something witty and funny...

Nah.
