jianantonicI hate it when I have a good idea, then I don't write it down (or do it immediately) and then I forget it. I had a really good idea last night that had something to do with the type of chain you wear a dogtag on - OOOH I just remembered it. I was going to put the watch face that broke off its keychain on it and wear it around my neck so I could keep time at the bridge tournament. Looking at Jer's pocketwatch in front of me reminded me. And now it's in writing. Phew.
Today I did some experimenting with new jewelry pieces. The thing that sucks about it is that I really like to have thicker pieces, but most gems are sold in 15" strands, and that doesn't allow for a lot of layering. Most everything I ordered on Ebay this week is in a 36" strand, but that's because they're not regular shapes. They're all gemstone chips. Pictures are coming, I promise. I'm feeling very enterprising this weekend. I'm conflicted, though - do I go into town and get more supplies, or do I wait until my beads come? The most logical thing would be to wait, but I'm so excited I just want to get started with some of the things I already have. I'll probably go into town today. I can justify it because I have to take some rented DVDs back, and I have a check that I need to put in the bank.
I keep forgetting I have Monday off, too. I was feeling pretty down on myself, because I only just got out of the shower, and other than screwing around with some jewelry (mostly doing and then undoing things until I can decide for sure what I want to do with my limited supply), I've pretty much washed away my Saturday. I want to go to the pool tonight, but I don't think I will, because I'm having such horrible cramps. I hate this part of being a girl - I can get into a good workout routine, but then it's interrupted by menstruation (going to the gym on the rag is simply not an option for the first couple of days - I'm lucky to be able to sit up) and I have to work myself into the habit all over again. I wish I had a workout buddy here. If Cassidy didn't have her three year old, I'm sure she'd go with me, but most of my other friends are either not close enough to the nut to come regularly or they work during lapswim time, which is when I most want to go. Well, Jer's schedule will be changing soon enough. The problem is, it's too easy to back out of going to the gym with him...it's different when you plan to meet someone there, y'know.
Time to move the laundry to the dryer. Peace.
