*Six months* later.... in shiny things
Why on earth do I wait so long between entries??!!?? I don’t know!! I miss it, I often vow I’ll start anew and write regularly.... then I vanish for, oh, six months. I see I made four entries in ...
What it takes to get me to write an entry..... in shiny things
Is severe boredom, apparently. We’re currently experiencing our annual biggest downtime phase at work, which is nice, but it’s also booooring. And I even have something I need to be working on – ...
Good job with that writing streak! in shiny things
So much for getting back into the habit of writing- a habit which I really haven’t been in since the OD days, but I keep hoping. And honestly, I am afraid the only reason I’m making an entry now ...
the marriage survey in survey time
Trying to keep up my writing semi-streak; can’t be bothered with figuring out how to post any Charleston pictures via Flickr which seems to have lost the html link option; so what could be bette...
The "Looking Back on 2015" survey in survey time
I did this one last year about this time, so think I’ll do it again. Always good to have a review of the year. And always good to get the new year off to a writing start. What did you do in 2015...
Christmas Escape Time in shiny things
In keeping with my Always Avoid All Possible Social Interaction mindset, I am happy that we are (yet again) escaping to Charleston for Christmas. This is our newish tradition- Baker B was insisti...
Clearly I am on a roll in shiny things
Another couple of entries and I’ll have written more in the last week than I did the entire previous year. Well, slight exaggeration, but still I’m pleased that I didn’t write one entry and then ...
In which Baker B is dragged into this century in shiny things
Well, he wasn’t dragged as much as poked and prodded into it. Yesterday we went to Verizon and I got a new iphone (a 6; happily the cheapest one was what I wanted) and he got my old 5C. Which is ...
apologizing in advance if I break Prosebox in shiny things
Two entries?? In the same week??!!?? I haven’t made two entries in the same month since…well, since April, actually. I guess I won’t be doing that fun “first sentence from each month of the past ...
and now.... three and a half MORE months pass by!!! in shiny things
I have no idea how that’s even possible, but I am making several determined attempts in several assorted areas of my life to Improve My Lazy Annoying Self, and doing more writing is one of them. ...
It's only been three months, no big deal.... in shiny things
And what’s suddenly pushing me to actually make an entry?? A long long overdue entry in my very very neglected Prosebox? Which I really do miss, despite totally ignoring it for, like, EVER?? Beca...
After months of work-overload, suddenly it’s…quiet. Really quiet. May graduates are either done and gone, or they still have shortages that they are currently ignoring so they aren’t bombarding m...
Advanced Boredom Currents in shiny things
Apparently someone broke Banner, and all of our Vital Operating Systems are down. And have been down all day, and are not expected to return anytime soon. Which means… I can not do one single thi...
making the jewelry public in shiny things
I can’t figure out how this is showing up - if at all – but I just make a book public that I’d had on private: https://www.prosebox.net/book/14524/ I’ve recently been stricken with Jewelry Madnes...
catch-up, with all the stuff I did in jewelry class in jewelry
Naturally I’ve lapsed in keeping track of my jewelry-makings. My class is over, but I plan to take the advanced class in the fall. You get to design your own projects for the advanced class!!! We...
That home survey that's going around (or was, ages ago) in survey time
Want to write, need to write, not inspired to write. What’s the answer to that?? Well, a survey, obviously. I’ve seen bunches I like lately but oddly I don’t usually do them immediately. I wait a...
RIP, Simon in shiny things
First of all, my dad’s colonoscopy went well. He is fine and does not appear to be traumatized by the lack of willingness by the five adults around him to stir up a bowl of jello so he’d have som...
Things I am finding annoying tonight. in shiny things
Ok, I am going to do a “real” entry soon, since I am really trying to get back into the writing habit… but I want to whine. I am annoyed by many many things tonight, and I want to whine, and whin...
Happy Friday Survey in survey time
Wow, two entries in a week- shocker! I stole this fun survey from Krud. He’d trimmed it down and no doubt I’ll trim it even further since it’s about a zillion questions long. You’re welcome. How...
*two months later.....* in shiny things
That’s kind of sad. But I have been ridiculously busy at work, after that little bit of downtime way back in January. All the August and December applications came in and we’ve been working like ...
more earrings and a necklace in jewelry
Today we were off for Adverse Weather (it’s been between 0 and about five below all day, with windchills up to FIFTY BELOW) and I took advantage of it to make more stuff. I ordered some beads and...
We started these in the ASU Beginning Jewelry class. It was towards the end and I was still struggling with my rings, and feeling like the Special Needs Child of the group- so I didn’t finish min...
Then I did bracelets! I really really love the spirals- they are easy to do and I love the way they look. Kim gave me a pair of earrings YEARS ago that are just two sets of spirals and they are o...
First ring efforts in jewelry
The silver ring was from my Beginning Jewelry class at ASU - first thing we did was a copper wire wrapped ring which of course I’ve already managed to lose. Could not have gone far- I put it on t...
la la la la la .... nothing to see here... in shiny things
I was going to finish the 2014 survey that I started ages ago … but you know, I’m just not in the mood. What I am in the mood for is a break from work. I’ve stayed busy for so long that I hardly...
