Winter Woes

Don't let the title of this post fool you.  I.  Heart. Winter.  I know some of you reading this blog might want to knock your computer to the ground and/or delete me as a "bookmark" after reading this post, but I do.  I heart winter.  Winter elsewhere is miserable right now (and I'm praying for those of you that are getting hit hard with extreme weather), but I still...sorry...heart winter.

It's chilly here.  We actually had to cover plants and turn on the heat last night.  It's snuggly inside.  It's chilly outside.  I heart winter.

I've been wearing my sweater slippers for months now.  They look kinda grimy.  But they are oh-so-cozy.  They keep my feet just a "right kinda" warm.  Even if they make any outfit look like I'm still in my jammies.  That's okay.  You love me anyway.

And who cares?  Maybe I need to look like I'm in my jammies.  Or.  Maybe.  Just maybe.  I'm still IN my jammies.  Who cares?

But back to my point about being mislead.  You, not me.  I know where I stand on winter.  I heart winter. 

But, ohhhhhhh, the germies.  That's my only complaint.  Sickies galore.  My poor babies.  One is still really sick after 5 days of coughing, hacking, sniffing and sneezing.  The other just can't shake that nasty cough.  And my BIG baby?  My sweet, hard-working husband?  Yeah.  He left for work hackin' up a lung.  I have managed to keep it at bay....just a little sniffle and a dry, tickle cough.  I can handle it.  But my babies.  Hence my only winter woe.

So.....

Let me reiterate.  I.  Heart.  Winter.

I will relish this time (as best I can with the germies) because......100 110 120 degrees could be just around the corner.

School already?!

School started for my eldest monkey on Monday.  I thought I was sooooo ready for her to go back, but.....  Well, I miss her during the day!  I knew she drove me nuts while tormenting her younger brother, but I didn't realize how much she was entertaining him!!  He's a little "attention hog" now!  (He also screams when his sister gets out of the car!)  It's funny, yet not.

The good news is the beads are back!  I haven't actually sat at the torch yet (still hot out there, people!), but I've started organizing my stash, getting ready for holiday boutiques and ordering more findings online.  I hope to be FULLY PREPARED by October because that's when the shows start for me.  I'm hoping to be a part of more this year.  First one is October 2nd.  Let me know if you're interested in coming!

I probably won't be having another big sale until later on, but I will be posting specials from time to time.  I'd also like to do a contest.  I need followers, folks!  COME ONE, COME ALL!  You gotta be a "follower" to get the good deals, I'm tellin' ya.

So until I actually have some stuff to show ya, I'll probably be fairly silent....like Sunday Silence..... Do you like those posts?  I hope to keep 'em coming. 

Still trying!

I have all this creative energy! I will be changing to this blog soon. Stay tuned!
