Fingers Crossed!

Headaches galore, crying spells and nauseous.

Keep your fingers crossed that this is NOT the flu!

Tissues and Fireworks

So this birthday/NYE/New Year's Day weekend extravaganza was waylaid by 3 sets of colds and sinus infections.  The man, the kiddo and I all had sniffles, coughs, fevers and other interesting symptoms.

We played a lot of Skyrim and watched all the movies we had in our arsenal.

I worked on leather cuffs and began my first handbag.  It's slow goings but looking good so far.

Now, I'm back to work at my regular 9-5 (Actually, it's more like 6:30-2:30) and I can't wait to get home to level the new Worgen Rogue I created last night.

You WoWers will know what I'm talking about.

Happy 2013!

Little Things

I drive 41 miles, one way, to work.  I suffer from road rage.  Except, I'm not a screaming, pull-my-hair-out kind of rager.

I'm like a CEO of the freeway.

Someone is in the passing lane driving 10 mph under the speed limit?  I kindly come up behind them and say, "I don't understand what you are doing.  Move your ass."  If that does not deter them, I turn my lights on and scoot into the shoulder, just a smidge, as to show them they have a headlight on their tail.  If they continue along the same pattern, I will switch lanes, get next to them and just look.  That's it.  Just looking at someone like they have the IQ of a sedimentary rock does much more mental damage then flipping them off and yelling obscenities.

Happy Thursday morning.

I was making my way around etsy and found two artisans from Israel who specialize in Bridal Boleros and I just fell in love with their work.

Take a look!

Absolutely stunning!

Shipwrecked Charms goes live!

Just like Santa, I have been in my workshop working my chubby tail off!

I am excited to say that I now have an etsy store:

Shipwrecked Charms :: Jewelry Shop

Check it out!

So, you know how some folks bowl on the weekends?  Others might work in their yards and plant flowers...

This is what I do:
