Welcome to the internet

The funniest thing has happened to me this week. I am still learning alot with this computer. I have come along way in the last few years but still learning every day. Awhile ago I signed up on face book. But it was one of those things I really couldn't figure out. I have had a myspace forever and whenever I want to make changes or update pictures I have to have my daughter do it for me. Any way, before my illness I worked with a group of people I got very very close to. We were all good friends which is sometimes the only way you can work under some circumstances. Any way we all drifted our own way's one friend went to Florida, another is still working at the store, more found other employment in town, any way, one by one we have found each other on facebook. Yeah! even if we can't see each other in person we can catch up and stay in touch through this mighty little machine. Staying in contact with people you become close to can be such a rare thing so I am so very blessed to have this happen. Just wanted to share that little moment of excitment.

Happy Saturday Night

I am trying to talk myself into being sleepy so I can go to bed. Work tomorrow morning. Do you know how long it has been since I had a Bed-time? HeHe.

Any way I actually managed to accomplish alot of things over my two day's off, got alot of Avon books out of the house, went up to the tattoo shop with my daughter to pull files that I need at home and got these two pieces of jewelry finished and listed in my shops. Of course the one worry I have had is once I started the new job was would I be biting off more than I could chew? I don't know yet , it is way to early in the game but I am hoping not. To be so productive and do so many things even if it is just listing a new item a week and getting 1 new Avon customer a week will make me so happy. I have needed to feel like I had something to contribute and it is finally happening. Please don't wake me up:)

More Saratoga Park Tour

Well it is still raining out so can't follow through on today's plans once again so I thought I would you show you another part of the Congress Park. This is close to my heart. My dad is a past-commander of the American Legion and our whole family was involved in the legion and auxillary. In the Park is a beautiful war memorial built right on a little duck pond. The sidewalk leading up to the memorial is built of bricks, each with the name of a passed veteran of all the military branches. These pictures below are just enough to show you what a beautiful spot this is and at the end of our Flag day parade each year a service is conducted at this memorial. Thanks for looking at another part of my life that means so much to me.

The Memorial Pavillion

The Brick Path

Looking towards tomorrow.

Hey everyone. Today was my third day at my new job. Tomorrow I have the day off and my oh my do I need it. I forgot what it was like to get up and go to work everyday even if it is only 4 hours. Any way, I really like my job. There is alot to learn, very fast paced and so many different kinds of sandwhiches and salads to learn. What is cool though, we have the entire menu up over the deli area where I make the food and each item has it's name then the entire list of ingrediants so I just find the right name, follow along with the different items and check the slip if they want something left out or different. So it is just a matter of getting calm and focused one item at a time until they start to stay in my head. The routine is pretty easy to learn. During the lunch time it is really fast paced one order after another but once it slows down you know automatically to start refilling all the bowls before the supper rush starts. Lots of little things to learn as far as the different foods on some of these sandwhiches, I have never touched an Avocado in my life, I have learned how to slice and dice and put it into a salad. Learned how to put hummus in a wrap, another food I have no experiance with. Just so many little things. But it is just a matter of time, right now it is tough because it seems like so much to learn but I don't think it will take long and once it becomes familiar I will get quicker.
Of course I have had to take 2 tylenol before work and 2 more as soon as I get home but that is to be expected. My legs and feet are killing me and here again it just will take time until my body is used to it again. But very happy to have tomorrow and Saturday off to rest, work on my jewelry, list some things in my shops and get Avon books out. On Sunday back in with a little more confidence.
All in all I really think I like it and have a good time with it.

Share your opinion please

I have a wonderful, lovely repeat customer who has been very loyal to me for several years. I have just recently received a request from her looking for a little gift that she gives to about 20 some people each year that she works with. I thought about bookmarks but she thinks she has already done that. Bracelets are hard because do you have a 6", 7" or an 8" wrist? Necklaces? everyone's taste is so individual and different. I told her I was just starting to experiment with keychains and she liked the basic idea. Last night I made these 4 different ones. Let me tell you a bit about each.
#1. I would love these but with alot more dangles. this was just to thin with the six strands but I can see it being quite presentable with 10 to 12.

#2. I like this just the way it is. I love fringe, I love mixing different shades of a color.

#3. I think this one would be very adaptable for either a woman or man depending on the color choices and stone choices around the cab.

#4. This was the only thing I could come up with strictly masculine. I can picture it in say Black with silver stripes running through it. Maybe a bit wider.

So what I need is opinions. Which one draws your eye? What do you think would be saleable? Truly looking for a number of opinions and that will give me an average of which one is best liked. Thank you!!
