2009 Day One Hundred Eighty Five

The jewelry business is getting busy. I met with a girl yesterday who is getting married and she wants me to create the bridesmaid's jewlery. I finished that last night when I got home. I am working on putting the truck show together. Found the place and another person. I would like to find one more person, but, if not, that's okay. Need to finish up the display for the dog necklaces for The Yuppy Puppy.

The heat wave has lifted and we can enjoy a few days in the 70's. Nice.

I am looking for two jewlery or fabric designers to do a trunk show with. I'm thinking of putting an ad on Craigs List. Maybe just an ad on the board of Rings and Things.

Life now is content. I'm sure something will come along to mess it up.

Sometimes I miss the ocean. I never thought I would live so far from it.

It was a nice 3 day weekend. I had a great day on Friday going to Bead Stampede with Joyce and Irene. Saturday was hot and quiet. Yesterday we took Jacob to the arcade and then had a bbq with the family.

Thunderstorm blew in overnight to cool us off. Nice.
Hope everyone has a great week.

2009 Day One Hundred Seventy Eight

Last work day of the week! Going out with the girls after work to the River Inn so we can sit outside by the river. It will be in the 80's which is hot for us, so, it will be nice.

Looking forward to the 3 day weekend. I hope everyone has a nice time.

2009 Day One Hundred Seventy Seven

Up early. Need to make an early start on the day. Gas the car, coffee and to work early to catch up on what was not done by leaving early yesterday. Two more days. Sugar was a little high this morning, maybe Raw was not the best choice. I vow to make better choices from now on.

Paid 3 bills: New lawn guy, old lawn fertilizing company and the pest control spray guy. I keep asking myself, why did we buy a house? Seems the upkeep keeps rising. Almost had M talked into selling and renting again. But no he's content to stay where we are for the next 5 years.

Going to the post office and fruitstand at lunch. At least that is the plan. I will try and post a little later.

I've been away, but, now I am back. I wish I had tales of adventure and excitement, but, no...life has been going along normal as ever.

I've been enjoying summer. The garden is growing and we will have lots of tomatoes once it warms up enough to turn them red. I'm still making jewelry. This weekend is the Bead Stampede in Couer d'Alene. They hold it twice a year. The one held in Spokane is in October.

Work is busy. I thought I could update my blog at work, but, everytime I tried something would come up and off in the direction I would fly.

****
So again today I thought I would have time at work to finish this post, but...too busy. Plus I only work a 1/2 a day.

Before the doctor appointments M took me to a new restaurant Raw. Hawaiian cusine. I thought it would be nicer inside, but, the server was wonderful and the food was fab. I chose the 3 item lunch platter. The 3 items I chose were teriyaki hibachi charred short ribs, lemon chicken and tempura shrimp served with ginger slaw and white sticky rice. All for 8.99.

Its finally the weekend. Time to enjoy. We went for Thai food yesterday at lunch. It was cool and rainy so we did not get to sit outside as planned. But the restaurant was gorgeous, filled with exotic statuary and a buddah waterwall I just fell in love with. We did have a booth by the windows that overlooked the river. It was just 4 of us and we had alot of fun as always.

Today is dog grooming day and a few errands. So most of the day can be spent working on jewelry and house chores. Finshed the book, Lovely Bones, so I now start a new book Nine Lives by Dan Baum.

Blame the lack of posts on watching episodes of True Blood, making jewelry every waking minute of the day or just because it is almost summer. Or maybe because my life is so simply normal boring that there isn't too much exciting things to blog about.

I could tell you there are 4 tomatoes on our plants, but, no jalapenos, yet. Work is going great. I will not be attending the staff picnic on Thursday, due to the BBQ'd catered food is loaded with sugar. But Thursday evening we are going to the television studio to be part of an audience of a program about healthcare. Ted, our vice president, will be part of the panel. We all picked out our shirts for the August Lake Coeur d'Alene cruise. My shirt will be a light pink. Friday is our department monthly outing. This month we have chosen Bangkok Thai. They have outdoor seating on the river.

I have removed the music radio from my blog. I have discovered Pandora internet radio and that is what I listen to at work now. I would love to add a background wallpaper to my blog, but, looks like I would need to load everything again if I do that.

I'm so glad it is Friday, as always do, and cannot wait to scoot out of work at 4:00.

Working on my business this weekend. I must make the display and product for the dog charm necklaces to drop off at The Yuppy Puppy. Lots to do for the new website like pictures and designing the brochure. Plus we are painting and moving the office and using that room for my new studio.

Hope everyone enjoys there weekend. I would love to know what you are up to.

It was rainy and cold yesterday and I dressed for summer. Figures. Looks like a much nicer day today.

Linda and Maureen were on a vacation day yesterday. Made the office quiet. I had enough work to keep me busy.

The past few nights we have been watching the first season of True Blood. It is so good and we are so hooked. Tonight is episode 4. Lots of good stuff on tv lately. I have started recording the new season of Food Network Star.

Have a great Tuesday.
