At least I haven't forgotten how to write the longest run on sentence EVER.

I sat down to respond to a couple of comments this morning and one of those little boxes under the post caught my attention and after I clicked it I accidentally found myself hopping around reading random older posts on this blog written by someone I would totally be friends with because her ability to think her thoughts made even my toes smile and then I remembered "Wait a minute...this is my blog and that someone is me" and if I could figure out the mechanics of it I would kiss myself right on the mouth because how awesome is it to randomly realize that you like the goo that composes your person?

Know what I don't like as much? The color black.  The color white.  The color combination of black and white.  My torch bench is boring my socks back on.

I'm not mad at the clear though.  It's the cleanest 5 pound batch of clear I've ever seen,

and if I hadn't had  to use it up encasing all this black and white 

I would totally have rolled around on it naked.

Maybe.

I have just shy of 400 beads to make to finish the order on which 

the icy cold ice put me 6 days behind.

Which means I've made over 500 beads in the last 2.5 days.

Which means 

WHERE DID I PUT MY QUEEN OF BEADASSERY CROWN?

I'm shipping this order Thursday

and then I'm going to make the most

outrageously colored

something or other

for no good reason at all.

And then I'm going to have a giveaway

and make one of you create something with it.

Because I like the goo that composes your person, too.

PS.  If you subscribe via email and have gotten old posts sent to your inbox, please join me in kicking blogger in the shin.  Also?  Disregard them.  Your guess is as good as mine.

If this doesn't make you at least chair dance, run away from this blog immediately.

(or come over and frolick around the room with me.)

(We'll call it dancing and laugh with abandon!)

(Because Happy rocks, y'all)

And later I want you all to come over for a creative play day!

500 down

900 to go.

I'm not sure if an eyeball can actually hurt,

except mine totally do.

Not complaining at all~

Just sayin'.

So I took them shopping last night

because Color!

Immediate gratification.

~~

My once reliable source no longer carries them,

so if you have a wholesale supplier for quality 4mm gemstones

please meet in the back alley.

Or you know, share it with everyone in the comments.

Let's keep putting the we in awesome.

Because Yay team!

~~

Mostly because mama also needs some ocean...

I'm in the middle of a custom order for black and white.  And black and white.  And then more black and white.  Which means mama needed to play with color for a minute, y'all.

I'm kind of over the rainbow about this combo~

There are a few new silver glass goodies also~

I've listed a few orphan grab bags too.
Yay!

You'll find them in my Etsy Shop.

30 Words ~ Yes to this.

Some days you will get ice cream.

Some days you won't.

That's just how it is here.

Being a person is hard sometimes.

You're awake.  

You're awesome.

Live like it.

(Yes, I know.  It isn't a photo.  I'll go stand in the corner for a minute.)

If you'd like to read the rest of this week's 30 words on Thursday musings you will find them HERE.

30 Words ~ Not your ordinary ray of sun.

Dear Canada and the US Northern Hemisphere,

Thanks for the hug. Now please take your toys and go home.

Signed,

We don't want to play with you anymore this year.

~~.

Of course it could just be me.

After all you did murder my dead plant

And my new phone

And my buttbone.

I am still no good at following rules....

Keepin' It Real...interesting.

I was all barefoot in the sand last weekend

just a minute south of where I'm sitting right now.

Remember?

And today mother nature is all like 

"Oh really?  Let me see about getting you some winter, sisterfriend."

I went outside this morning with my new phone

to take some beautiful pictures of the beautiful ice

dangling from the trees and house and power lines,

but my brain forgot to tell my eyes to look down, too.

Stupid brain.

And that is why you just looked at a picture of icy concrete,

which is what that is in case you were wondering.

It is also why you are about to look at my shiny new phone

which I've had for less than 3 weeks.

I'm not going to show you a picture of my strawberry bruised behind though.

You're welcome.
