Something to watch...

I love to watch this show, the last couple seasons were good, and it was nice to see people overcome the odds against them and get healthy and in shape.

I just hope they didn't ruin the show by making people act and make more drama, the tv executives do that and end up ruining a show, the preveiws looked like someone was being a little to drama-ish and causing problems, seemed a little fake...but we will see...So stay tuned!

Hey, I am not done Yet!

With Summer, that is!! Got up this morning and it was 73* What?? Charlie opened up all the doors and windows and I almost got a chill. Oh Pooh! I should get at least 30 more days of hot hot hot!!

Here is a picture of my dream car, they are so cute, and I love being a geek!

Funny Man!

We finally got to see John Pinette live, he was at the House of Blues last night. We have loved his comedy for a long time, he was hilarious, I miss his chinese buffet bit but I guess that ran it's course, I loved his killer whale impressions last night, if you get the chance go see him!!

Here is some of his stuff I found on youtube.....

Wowzy!

Ok .... How dang sweet is this ring??? And I made it!!! Well, with lots of help from my mentor Colleen ;-)

Must admit the whole right side left side thingy was a fluke, I had some of my squiggles fall off and in the process of fixing had more fall off so I figured heck with squiggles, I would polish up the right side and see what happens...well, I love it! It is polished and refined on one side and rough with reckless abandon on the other side.....wheeeeee!!!! I can go elegant or I can go casual, I will let my ring decide!! hee-hee!!!

On another note, I have 13 EBAY auctions up so go check out my ebay store the link is on the right side of my blog.

Vegas Info!

Hi,

Some of you traveling to Las Vegas tend to collect jars and jars of loose change to try your luck on the slot machines, well, unless you are going downtown to the old casinos, don't bring your change to the newer casinos. (and since I have not been downtown in awhile not sure if you can still take change there).

Deb saves up her change all year for when she visits, she had a big baggie full, we went over to sunset station casino, and although I knew the machines no longer take change, I thought you could still go to the cashier and they could turn it into bills. Nope! We were turned away and told we could go to a coinstar machine (usually in supermarkets) or nevada state bank to cash it in.

Knowing the coinstar machines take a nice little chunk for themselves, I took deb to the nevada state bank on nellis and tropicana, they have a machine in there that is free to turn your coins into bills, they take no cut! So you dump your change in and take the ticket to a teller and you walk out with greenback!

Deb Visit's!

Debbie arrived for her annual visit Friday. I dropped Charlie at the airport and picked her up. Charlie was headed to california to go ocean fishing with joe flores on his ocean boat. Debbie and I have been keeping busy all weekend scrapbooking, eating at the olive garden, gambling, and we got pedicures too!! Same things we do every year! The hot water heater is broke down so we have to hang out here monday to get that fixed. She heads home tuesday and will be off to Hawaii in october!

Classes!!

Whew, I have been slacking off on posting my class projects...I did the silver art clay watch band..I still need to add beads to it to finish the band but the art clay part is what we made in class, everyone did a spectacular job on them!! I love mine and can't wait to find the right beads for it!! The small beaded bracelets are peyote stitch in the round shape, too cool! Love that I made red white and blue! The wire cuff was today's class, Colleen's sister Denise taught it, wire is not for the weak, it was tough class but worth it as my cuff is one of a kind and fits only my wrist!! Nice stuff!! I am excited about Septembers classes, some great stuff coming up, but I still have 2 more classes next week and open bead day to finish up some projects, so stay tuned...other then that it is work work work and jump in the pool when we get home!
