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!

Mary and Angelika

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:

A pirate's "charmed" life for me...

Not only do I pick my nose and sing the wrong lyrics to songs, but I'm a very vocal person when it comes to other people's driving abilities.

My friends are so lucky.

As this is my first blog post, I thought I would tell you a little something about myself.  I live in Texas and I have an affinity for Pit Bulls.  I'm always down for misbehaving and I make jewelry in my spare time.  I am a nerdyish gamer and hang out at Renaissance Festivals with my main squeeze and all of our buddies.  I love to throw parties and I am an avid Green Bay Packers fan.

Since this is my blog, I will be posting random jewelry photos.  Why?  Because I can.

And now, a shameless plug for my facebook site:  www.facebook.com/shipwreckedcharms
