Its DVR day...
Sorry for taking so long to get this posted, its been kinda non-stop here since DVR man came and went..Nancy stopped by w/ her son Ben to pick up beads, then I had to water my sad plants so they didn't die, then I had to go to the dealership and sign some papers (ooo..ooo...)and now I'm finally home and its quiet until I leave for class tonight..Brian and I are truly passing each other today - he's in San Antone and when he gets home, I'll be gone..i bet we see each other about 30 min today at most...heh...
So...the Bead Fairy left a rather unusual bead that i've dubbed the "Teddy Bear" bead because of its slight resemblence to an outline of a teddy bear..Inspired by, but not copied from Janice Peacock's beads she uses as her clasps for her Sprout bracelet (actually the teddy bear bead was something I did to help the edges of the bead when the wings were too big, I just clipped them, but they look like I copied Janice when I wasn't trying to, but you know how the whole 'copying controversy' can get wacky - just wanted to clear this up - I didn't copy her bead on purpose!)...I like these as a bracelet or necklace on their own and I have ideas to do them in neutrals like my English Tweed series- cocoa, grey, black, etc...very chi-chi-chic indeed...
I dunno if anyone is interested in these beads, if so, email me and lemme know...i haven't set a price cause they are kinda time intensive and I dunno what you're willing to pay for them...So "Let's Make a Deal"...rock on my Bead Sistas...
Yes, its true, I'm finally coming into the 'age of technology'...no longer am I using the telegraph to send messages, no longer is the Pony Express arriving at my home with deliveries, no longer do I have to crank up the Model T to motor into town and buy my flour sacks and sarsparilla...Yes folks, i'm getting 'TiVo' capability this morning and I'm tickled...now lets see if I'll actually USE it...hmmmm..
We went tire kicking last night, checking out the new Hybrid-style cars..there are no Prius' in Austin of course - they have a huge waiting list...so we hit the nearby Honda dealership and tried out a Civic Hybrid...VERY nice...its not flashy, but it fits our 3 needs - its INexpensive, it seats 4 people and it gets SUPER gas mileage (650 miles to one tank!)...They have a dozen or so coming in over the next month, so we're gonna put our names on 'the list' and see if we can snag a white one...Our truck has nearly 100K miles on it, and with Brian having to go to San Antone once a week, I don't want the thing to fall apart...Over the next couple of years there will be a LOT more hybrids coming out, so keep an eye out...a $2000 tax break from the IRS for buying this car is pretty nice too...
I need to poke in the kiln and see what the bead fairy left for me and if its even useful...back soon...

Use TiVo? Absolutely! It's awesome! We can pause live TV to go put the kids to bed, come back & start it up again! Record a show while one of our many Baby Einsteins are playing... record one show while watching a previously recorded show.... It's awesome! That's when I like to play with beads & make jewelry... veg out with a movie or some recorded show on with beads & a glass of wine after everyone has gone to bed! AH- relaxation at it's purest!
