Lots to do this weekend,
'cause even though I enjoyed my trip to
I've got four pages (!!!) of new
jewelry items listed here.
Plans for this weekend include:
Getting a start on the backyard (will explain
more later)
Torching ('bout time!)
Getting a few orders out (when am I not doing
that?)
Taking the kids to
Getting my new listings up, which include that
very un-Laura like necklace
Hasta la vista, Baby!
BTW, got anything to say to me… click on the GUESTBOOK!
Don't really have much to say, but I do want to
do a quickie update.
Went to
Then went on to Mom's house and had an equally
nice visit. On Sunday we saw a performance of the Lipizzaner stallions before heading back
to the Bay Area.
Needless to say, I'm uber
behind on EVERYTHING now. Sigh...
Have a crapload of
email to get through.
Have SRAJD stuff to
take care of.
Have 3 necklaces and 2 bracelets to list.
Have 3 bracelets to put clasps on, photo, and
list.
Have orders to get out.
Have house-cleaning to do.
Saw an email update/newsletter from MaryAnn Williams (who I like a lot more than my
inattention would seem). Wow, what a glass artist (and very nice person!). Would love to stay in touch with her.
Trying to get over my
anger at myself for forgetting to send a piece of jewelry into Kim's "Debi auctions". I just... well, I guess feeling like a
flake is a sore spot for me 'cause I know I try very, very hard and I know I
still let people down.
Decided, this morning, I really really really want one of two
presses. Zoozii's Kalera trio or Zoozii's
Puffed Pillow trio. Luckily, I can't decide yet which one to go for. I
say "luckily" because I really can't afford a press now. Doesn't make me want one any less. Ha ha
ha!
Also, need to make a final decision about the
newsletter.
Well, that's enough of an update for now... see,
I don't even have time to get rid of my last entry... that will have to wait...
Hm... it's very easy (too
easy) to let one day's tasks slide into the next day... and if you do that too
many times in a row, you just end up looking like a flake. But in your mind
you're saying, "What's the difference, today or tomorrow? I mean, will
Sigh...
So here I am, writing after a long absence. I
apologize for the silence.
The last two weeks kinda
went like this: One week of going crazy with no time to myself,
and one week of recovering and doing some things I wanted to do.
The first week was the kids
in hockey camp in
The driving was about 5 hours a day because it was
a
So when that ended, I was behind on everything.
I spent the next few days (five) hanging with
the kids and Mike, making glass beads, making jewelry, playing tennis, going to
the arcade, walking Bear, and... UGH... taking care of another kitten?!?!?!
Oh, first, the Sunday before hockey camp, we
finally celebrated Gabe's birthday by going to Great
America (Mon, Gabe, Stephanie, and me).
Now, about that kitten. Hmph!
No good deed goes unpunished. We were helping out some homeless people by
paying them to do some yardwork for us. So after we
pay them today, what does the main guy do? Gives me a 5-week
old stray.
It only weighs about a pound and a half so we
have to put another half pound on it before the SPCA will take it.
Oh, while we're on kitty pictures... here's Mr. Relaxo guarding my glass stash...
Oh and here is the FABULOUS tool-holder Gabe
made for me in woodshop...
The rest of the beads/jewelry that were listed
here can now be found in my LAMPWORKING BLOG...
