Hockey So far I've got Gabe signed up for the Capital
Thunder Junior A tryouts May 17th in Jewelry I'm doing a show (a fundraiser for Children's
Hospital in Here's my stuff from last week (available,
click on photo for link):
And tomorrow I should be able to show you four
(or more) new ones that I hope to list tonight. Family The Penguins are on at The kids are on Spring break this week. I hope they enjoy it but also get caught up
on chores and whatnot. Well, as usual, the second I open this file my
mind goes blank. Maybe 'cause I'm
anxious to get out of here now and get back to work on Mon's room. Okay, TTYL! Did you check out the March
entries yet? Some fab
offerings. And… later this week I have
some new additions for the Editor's Pick section. Wait until you see those too. Wow! Hockey The NorCal season is over. The kids are already antsy to play more…
somewhere. Gabe did a drop-in at Today's
Great Pictures Ah, the internet…
Listings I have to clear my house of
"things", whether I want to keep these things forever or not. So I'm starting with a big push to sell all
my estate and vintage jewelry… BTW, here's what has sold that I forgot to
show you. Sorry!
If I have time, later, I'll put two new bracelets up for your perusal. ADHD Just read an article about five foods that
should be avoided by people with ADHD.
Truthfully, it seems like these five foods should be avoided by They are: sugar, salt, caffeine, hydrogenated oils, and additives. Youth
Hockey Three final games for my goalies this
weekend. Monica dressed for her PeeWee
team's final game. It turned out to be
the only game they won this season.
And although I understand why the coach kept the other goalie in net
from beginning to end, I don't agree with that decision. I think I just need to bite the bullet and
make a full transition for Monica from the Gabe's Midget 16 game was first thing Sunday
morning after that darn Republican daylight savings time hour loss. He didn't play well. The team lost their final game. He looked tired all day. He played with the Midget 18's in the
afternoon and although he still wasn't playing well, the team managed a
win. It was a good way to end the
season. Everyone met at Chevy's afterward
for the end-of-season get-together. It
was nice. I'm trying to organize and sign the kids up
for goalie camps this spring and summer but it's really hard when they are
still court-ordered to go to their dad's on certain days of the week and I
don't want to commit to $100+ per day for camp if they won't be allowed to
go. Ugh! Misc As if I'm not disgruntled enough by the darn
time change, my work computer goes and skips ahead TWO hours. Talk about freaking me out. Musing After years and years of searching, I think I
may have finally found something I was looking for. It's a philosophy (although some would say
a "religion") that meshes very well with how I feel about
things. It's Taoism. More later. Jewelry
Update I got some photos of the new stuff, but
haven't had a chance to list it yet.
Then yesterday I made a three-strand Tourmaline bracelet that I
love. No photo yet. Don't
Forget! Daylight savings time goes into effect (ugh!)
for some of us this Saturday night.
And also don't forget that some things (cell phones, computers, etc)
set automatically via satellite. Important
Information for Parents I think this is worth being aware of. The Snopes article explaining the truth of the "dust
off" story. Jewelry
Update I finally got some photos of my latest
creations. Some of these are
collaborations with Monica. (As usual,
clicking a photo will take you right to the item for sale.)
Let's hope I can find time to make more things
this weekend. It's so much fun! Just
Stuff Well, other than regular life (getting kids to
school, doing my day job, etc), I actually got some other stuff
accomplished. The kind of things I
hate doing so I put off, usually until it's too late. Ugh! I had a nice long chat with Wells Fargo
Financial, the owners of my house, and we agreed to try to work together to
keep both of us happy. I mailed off the application for Gabe to take his
first year of Juniors prep camp. I mailed off my agreement to do a show. I know, I'm always saying I hate doing
shows, but this one is a fund-raiser for a really great cause and the women
there are generally very nice. Jewelry
Update I hope to at least shoot my new stuff
tonight. Maybe I can use my lunch hour
tomorrow then to list the items. I'm
kind of excited about some of the new things. My gallery page is coming along. But seeing as how I'm so prolific
(*cough*sputter*), it's a rather time-consuming affair. Maybe I'll varnish the pc beads tonight. Then I can start working with them by
tomorrow. Well, that wasn't OVERLY exciting, but at
least it was an update. I'll leave you
with a few of my faves from I can has cheezburger…
Family
News (aka Mostly Hockey) Too many things going on to do more than give
you the highlights. The girls' season
is over. They didn't place well in
Districts but they still seemed to have fun.
I think mostly they all just seem sad that the season is over. We'll have to find stuff to do because
Monica's already going stir-crazy knowing that her season on the Bears will
end this weekend too. Gabe's Midget-16's had an amazing tournament
experience in southern Gabe's also been helping fill in with the
Midget-18's. Mostly (if not all)
losses but they are CLOSE games. This
Sunday Gabe will play his last NorCal game with the 16's in the morning, then
play the last NorCal game with the 18's in the afternoon. Then I believe the 18's are all going out
to dinner afterward and to thank Rob for being such a great coach and
hopefully Darisa who really was awesome to the team all season. Gabe finally got a new ($450… ouch!) chest
protector and Monica gets his old one.
And Mon replaced the stick she broke in I need a sponsor if Monica wants to (and she
does) play U14 next year. I'm also putting the finishing touches on my
presentation of "The Mental Game".
Wonder if anyone will take advantage of my offer. Update
on The Bead Party So far we have: Me Alex Patrice Wendy I need to get the word out s'more. And we need to consider a date. Fun
Stuff Totally cool video of underwater marvels. This is just a fun clip of a golden retriever puppy learning to enjoy snow. Here are two heart-warming videos of reunions. The first is the reunion of a lion with the two men who
raised him as a cub. Here's a webpage with the story. And the second one is a reunion of a lion with the lady found a wounded and
malnourished lion on the verge of dying in the forest. She took him to her
house and nursed him back to health. When the lion recovered, the woman sent
him to his new home, an animal sanctuary.
This video was filmed when the woman went to visit the lion six years
later. And five
ragdoll kittens playing on a cat structure. (Not as heart-warming as lion love but
still entertaining.) Helpful
Stuff for Beaders Here are two links I think some people may
want to bookmark. This one has all kinds of charts and tables on
measurement conversions, etc. And this one has a great glossary and useful charts and
tables. Recent
Creations And now the ego-centric stuff. I made some new stuff but haven't photo'd
it yet. And I made my first polymer
clay beads (actual beads!) but I'm not done with them either. So until I get the new stuff photo'd, I took a
couple of items and put them on the auction block. (Click an item to go to the auction)
And that's life for the moment. All my spare computer time is being used to
process the backlog of SRAJD applications. TTYL! |
