I posted earlier today,, don't know where the blog went to :(. Made beads today and they are cooking right now. I picked out my colors for tomorrow,, going bead tomorrow again, yah. Did my DVD ..It rocks. My best friend Shira and I are planning our yearly get together, this is of course the second year of the get together :D Our birthdays are about a month apart so we are combining them. I would like to loose 20 lbs before then. I weighted myself today 150 so 20 lbs would be 130, not 105 or even the 115 my drivers license says on it but I could live with it.

It is a walk at home DVD, it has to work out on it a one mile and a two mile program. I think I will be starting out with the one mile today:D. It has hit a new low temp wise here in Chicagoland. -30 below 0 is what they say the low is going to be today. So we work out in the basement. Still reading the first of the Key series by Nora Roberts. Her books are such fun and quick reads too. The cool thing for today is Goddess Stamps.

I will be putting up some pictures in the gallery tonight so check back. Rob is taking Erin to her morning appointment ,, he can be of some help if he is going to be around. I have time to work on some stuff for the show I am going the end of February. I also need to get my taxes started today. Not fun but necessary. Today's cool thing, Flame Pants I don't see a link to how you could buy them , she does have an e-mail address try that out. They are cool, or hot?

PMC class was great I will try to post my treasures here tomorrow. Great news Erin got a job today. YES!!!
posted by Cathie on 5:02 PM
I was up early today,, needed to get some things ready for my last PMC class today. My girlfriend Teri and I are the only ones in the class so it is really nice, semi private lessons. We are making our finished pieces of silver into jewelry today. Teri wanted to put some fused pieces of glass and some lampwork beads on hers,, well so do I for that matter. I was fire polishing some cabs this morning ,they are quick cooling right now :D. She also wanted some clear lampwork beads so I made those last night, need to clean them before I leave. I liked the class a lot but it is cutting into my most productive time of the day. After class Erin and I are heading out to job hunt, she had a stomach virus yesterday, so no job hunting. Cool thing for today is
Thieving Magpie , Jen G from WC first gave this link out. He has the coolest stuff.

Here are the Jadeite Beads, they are just so pretty. Now off to make more bead babies for tomorrow.
posted by Cathie on 4:15 PM
I have the morning to myself also, I am not sure when Brian is coming home. He spent the night at his uncles, they are more like brothers. No I don't have a problem with that. They are going to be drinking and getting stupid so I would prefer that he didn't drive and come home silly. Made the coolest beads yesterday, Jadeite. I think they really look like the real thing. As soon as they are cleaned I will post a picture. Sumping a wine bottle right now using the kiln as a temporary basement heater as I ran out of keosene last night. Lets see if the fuse box can handle the bead kiln and the oxygen generator and the big kiln all together. Making beads today yeah, wow two days in a row. Need to do some stained glass also. Got the new filter for the generator and I am going to try to change it before I make beads ,, such and interesting day. I think I am going to this little book store in my really small down town area this week for my Artists way date. EBay has been down for me lately ,, I am posting my own auctions as a cool this week :D have to plug yourself sometimes. Also the fair is coming up fast,, 166 days until it opens,, I will probably give you a count to opening day a lot here so bare with me. This is a great site about the fair, great pictures and history too. The Tome.

More things we can see if make a difference. I am going to do to the museum in a minute. I was also able to tell another time stealer that I wasn't able to help today. Tomorrow I am have a little party with my friends,, it is really a Solstice or Yule party , about a month late :D but we are all so busy that this is the best time for all of us.

Well I have finally come to accept that I cannot eat chocolate, at all. I don't really love it like some,, It is ok, there a other sweet that I like more. I can't eat it ,, I get an allergic reaction to it. I am taking Nettle so we will see what happens. Putting up some more beads on eBay today. Did get to start the sewing projects yesterday. We have turned the dining room and living room in to big sewing room. If Rob (Erin's not so great boyfriend) comes to pick her up today for her appointment and I don't end up taking her, I am going on my Artist's way date today to the LIZZADRO MUSEUM it is right down the street ,, don't know why I haven't been there before. This is today's cool thing Mary Jane better than Martha
Have a great day

Ok back into morning ritual. Need to blog in the morning or it is just to crazy. Started my Morning pages and it wasn't as hard as I thought to do 3 longhand pages. Hopefully most of the crud will be left there so you don't have to read it here LOL. Well I have my to do list today all ready, thought I was a head of the game by getting things packed for the post office on Sunday ,and then realized it was a holiday Monday.. Oh well they are going out today before my PMC class. After that off to Funky Jave to drop off the art. Mandrels are ready so I hope to make beads today. Need a new filter for the oxygen generator, that would suck if I needed to replace that whole thing. Cool thing Nokomis

Here it is at 11:30 ,I have accepted that I am not a morning person. I do have a morning ritual though,, breakfast with morning paper, then I read my daily books, throw the healing cards, and then throw my morning cards. I am going to be adding to that tomorrow as I have started an online program called "The Artist's Way" on Wet Canvas. You have morning pages to do so that will add to that part of the routine. I then get to the computer , look at the e-mails and read the ones from friends, I am on a couple of groups that flood my inbox ,, I try to read those though out the day during my breaks.. Then I start to work. I have stained glass to finish today and then I hope to make beads. If all goes well I am going to put a set of beads on eBay and maybe even upload some beads and stuff on the web page. Update on the book "Lost", it was quite different from the other two, and all though the book I was hoping that is would be more like the others at the end. Short version, it is set in modern times. And is loosely on the ghost from "A Christmas Carol". I recommend the other two ,, "Mirror Mirror" by the same author is check out right now , I use the library when ever possible. I have the new trilogy by Nora to read and have the "The Artist Way" to read, I think I am set for awhile on reading material. The cool thing for today is Eggs all natural
have a great day.

Today isn't so busy, but I did end up having two things overlap, and I had to pick one. No get together today, but I am doing my online Artist's way group. I have had a busy week ,driving all over the place. I just don't feel like socializing and driving anywhere. The roads are so icy and it is really cold. I don't want to get all dressed up either. I have beads to make and stained glass to do also.. So there you have it. Erin is going to apply for some jobs today, cross your fingers that she gets one and keeps it. I haven't been very good in the eating department. So next week have to get back on the health train. Not so much unhealthy eating but I have just been doing to much of it. LOL. Stress I am sure. Today's cool thing is Yogi Tea a nice cup of what ever you need.
have a great day.

Well Erin and I were out the door with the sun today, more meetings in the city. We did get to have breakfast at a restaurant so that was a good start to the day. After we finished with our running around we made it home about 8:00pm, I am beat. No stained glass finished all though I did get to foil in the van while I was waiting for her. No beads today either, still have that set to take pictures of and put on eBay.. I am getting up early tomorrow and I am getting the business card holders finished. Then the beads I hope. Tonight we are going to watch a movie and have a glass of wine. Today's cool thing is HummusI am a vegetarian but I know a lot of not veggies who really love this stuff. Didn't get a chance to read "Look" today but from what I got last night this book is different from the others. It seems to have Jack the Ripper, Peter Pan and A Christmas Carol somehow together in the book.

Up again pretty early here. I have such a busy day today. Have to get my hair cut and colored, whose grays keep popping up. Then to the bank. I am taking a PMC class today also. After that I am taking my daughter Erin to an appointment. Then this evening I have a massage with Dianne, she is the best. I don't go as often as I should but I try to go atleast once every couple of months. Hopefully I will get to finish the business card holders tonight. I haven't been able to get to the torch lately but I do have a set of bead that I need to get a picture of and put on Ebay. Still reading "Lost" and I am not anymore clear on who side it is on, stay tuned. Today's cool thing is Odwalla this stuff tastes so good and is great for you.

Good Morning I am up earlier than usual because I have a lot of running around to do today. It is 30 degrees today in Chicagoland, not to bad for this time of year. Going to mail out beads and did my sale tax forms for uncle sam last night . I am glad to be done with take now all I have to get ready is the deductions for April 15th. I will be sharing in this blog things that I like or that I am reading from time to time. Hope that somebody finds somthing they might like by reading this. Todays is Teeccino, is is a caffeine-free herbal coffee. Since I haven't been able to handle caffeine for a while now, this is perfect. You brew it just like you do coffee but it is made with grains. Check it out www.teeccino.com. My favorite author is Nora Roberts, but I have been reading Gregory Maguire's books. They are storys that we all know from a different view point. Wicked is the story of OZ from the wicked witch of the west veiw and Confessions is Cinderella from the ugly stepsister veiw. Right now I am reading Lost which is a Christmas Carol but I am not into it far enough to know whos point of veiw's it is. I will keep you posted lol.
Have a great day
