Hum Drum

Just popping in for a bit of a drive by update. Things around here are as dull as can be!! Yesterday, rather then make beads like I told you, I went and took a nap for a few hours. So I have no beady pics for you. Instead I took a quick shot of the mug I made with my sister at Color Me Mine early last month. I had totally forgot to share the photo with you... oops.

The mug turned out cute. I use it to hold beads and things on my sideboard table in the dining room. I usually have my laptop on the dining table so when I do updates of beads, they are right here and it is just a convient place to put them. It matches this great photo collage my Mom gave me a while ago. Each photo is of one of the kids inside a bright slide at the park. The photo of Andrew on the left is my favorite.

It is nearly time to pick up Lauren from preschool. I did work on test beads this afternoon for a new color combo I have playing in my head. The bead ideas I am thinking of my my ArtJewelry article aren't working the way I want them to, so depending on how these test beads turn out... it may be back to the drawing board with the design. I'll share pics tomorrow of how they turned out.

Tomorrow is my birthday!! I am going to lunch with my half birthday buddy Lindsey to a place called Aja Noodle!! I have never been before, but I love noodles so it should be excellent. Other then that there are no birthday plans. Ron will be at school until at least 8pm so we probably won't even have cake :( I am being a bit of a pouty brat this year. I want a little birthday attention from him and the kids and I am just not getting any. Maybe by some weird turn of events, I will wake up in the morning to breakfast in bed... a big chocolate cake... and loads of presents. Hey, a brithday girl can dream can't she?
