Yay for Beads!

My sister-in-law and I went to a fabulous Bead Show in Pasadena this past weekend. It has about 200 vendors with all kinds of goodies for jewelry-making and various other crafts. Beads are crack. I found some fabulous little lampwork beads to use in a necklace and some bracelets. Just when I get over the "buzz" I get from a dose of bead-buying, I crash and have to find some other trinket to add to my repertoire of ideas. Just when I think I'm going to be able to walk away, I spot a dazzling bunch of semiprecious crack--I mean, beads. The question isn't really if I should walk away, but how much should I walk away WITH?

Are these things related??

So the Elves didn't show up...something about a union contract. I got my projects done anyway (phewww!)

I'm already behind on blog posting because I was waiting to see if I could think of some cool, hip, humorous, and/or deep subject matter. I was hoping to avoid the ever-popular "resolutions list" that is ubiquitous this time of year. Not only are they OVER-abundant thy tend to be REdundant, too. Weight goals...budgeting goals...quit smoking...stop putting thumbtacks on Dave-the-coworker's chair.... Go on--you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sure you could easily add to this list. But naturally, I waited too long for the writing fairy to zap me, and now I'm struggling for a timely topic. Maybe I should write something to do with procrastination...no, I'll wait on that.
