Saturday August 8

It's finally Saturday. And so much cooler. Looks like it rained a little bit overnight.

We don't plan on going anywhere this weekend. Just working around the house. I think we are rearranging every room. So its the bigger upstairs bedroom first on our list. The closet will be for Michael's clothes. Plans are to put his desk and desktop computer in there and maybe a work table. At least we do not have to paint that room. It is 2 colors of green and we have loved that room since the first time we saw this house.

Movie for this weekend is Inkheart. Dinner plans are Smothered Pork Chops, baked red potatoes, fresh cooked green beans (more from Joyce's garden - yum) and peach tea.

I have jewelry orders to make and deliver, birthday present to mail and other odds and ends of a never ending to do list to complete.

Hope everyone has a joyful weekend.

2009 Day One Hundred Ninety Six

It was a pretty good day at work. Sold some earrings. Talked to Michelle, the gal who owns the art studio. There might be an avenue there to sell some jewelry.

Joyce is taking some flyers to her friends tonight. Thank you Joyce.

After work I stopped by my friend's Melissa's house and left my card for her to call me. I called Barb and she is down in Portland at her daughter's recovering from laser surgery to remove a tumor that was behind her eye.

Tonight we are going to Rancho Chico to celebrate Chris' birthday. Should be fun! Ole!

Hope everyone has a nice evening too.

2009 Day One Hundred Ninety Five

Much cooler today, but look out, its supposed to heat up again. I have everything almost ready for the trunk show for next Saturday.

Now its just create as much as possible before Saturday.

We went for a long drive today. It was nice to get out and about for the day. I made us a nice steak dinner when we got home. True Blood was good tonight, but I think the next episode will be better.

Tomorrow morning I have to get up and going early. I have a physical therapy for my shoulder/arm appointment at 7:00. My boss will be gone all week. There is rumor that we will have 8 large groups to add for the coming month.

Hope everyone has a good week.

2009 Day One Hundred Ninety Four

Here I am again apologizing for not keeping up my blog. There is so much going on. Work has been busy, so no time there to update.

The trunk show is next Saturday. I finalized the deal yesterday. Its funny, I chose a place just knowing she would agree to do it at a reasonable price and I am estatic about it. I am doing the fliers this morning. Still need the following: white tablecloth, 2 hand held mirrors, receipt book and fish bowl. I am very excited.

The little heat wave going through here is miserable, but, bearable. Our grandson has been here. The weekend before last it was the arcade and last weekend it was cosmic bowling. Lots of fun.

M bought me the computer version game Deal or No Deal. Won the $1,000,000 already. Wish it was for real.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It sure is flying by fast. July is 1/2 over already.

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 trunk 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.

2009 Day One Hundred Eighty Three

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.

2009 Day One Hundred Eighty Two

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.

2009 Day One Hundred Seventy Six

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.

2009 Day One Hundred Sixty Seven

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.
