At least the rest of my day passed in relative peace. Tonight MT and I actually went out on a date. I can't recall the last time we did that on a Friday night. Usually we're both too spent from the week's on-goings to muster up the energy to go out. But tonight we had dinner at a little Mexican place and then went to the theater to see Slum Dog Millionaire. It was a really really GREAT film. And I'm not just saying that because it also just got nominated for heaps of awards either.

Now I know that I said Gran Torino was great, but truly, this movie was really one of a kind. It spoke of tragedy and sadness, desperation and hard times, but it also sang of the beauty of love and never ending hope. I must admit I'm a bit of a sucker for movies that can really rope you in emotionally, and this one certainly fits the bill.
So now I'm back home and happily listening to Bella take her dinner. Bella doesn't like to eat alone, which took me awhile to figure out. She used to lean up against my chair while I was working away on some new pieces and poke her cold wet nose into my leg until I got up and took her downstairs. Only then would she sit by her food bowl and look at me, wondering if I was going to leave her alone. Well, after going through this routine a few times I finally figured out that she didn't want to dine alone - I'm sure she was utterly tired of trying to train me at that point. So now she has a permanent food bowl both upstairs and downstairs, so she can eat her leisure while I'm working.
Oh! Before I forget, a word on my vacation. It's not really and truly a vacation, just a bit of much needed time to handle some things in my non-jewelry world life (which is starting to get smaller and smaller). I absolutely love making jewelry and creating new pieces, but it seems that I've neglected a few other areas that need to be attended to this coming week. So I will not be shipping orders out until after the 29th when I've a bit more time. Thank you so much for your patience... Believe me when I say I'd much rather be enjoying the happiness of making new jewelry for you lovelies, but a guilty conscience is really not very conducive for creativity. At least not for me anyway.
But I'll do my best to post here or there during the next week and check in with you all.
I hope you all have a delightful weekend!
Sweet Dreams,
C
