Friday Randomness

This makes me happy.  Lots of packages to be delivered to my customers and TWO packages coming next week to me.  Woot!

I am moving more quickly through the rest of the egg orders and this makes me happy and excited. Both to get to people on the wait list, but also because I am getting closer to sitting down at the torch without an agenda. And getting to the point where I can designate one or two nights a week to working with metals and/or making jewelry again.

I saw these guys up in a bucket truck when I ran to the welding shop for more stainless steel rods to cut into mandrels.  It made me so very thankful that all of the strike duty training I went through a year and a half ago in Dallas was never put to the test and I didn't have to get out in a bucket truck or climb telephone poles!

Sometimes I think my Little Horse looks as big as a wolf all sprawled out on the floor.  I love that I can see his speckled, freckled skin, even if it is because I gave him a shoddy haircut.  And need to finish it because his haunches have grown so long that now I have to shave his rear end.  Trust me, you don't want details.

I saved a chipmunk from Henry this morning.  The poor thing was most humiliated as Henry carried him around the backyard upside down by his TAIL.  I opened my office window to yell at him to drop the chipmunk and then took off running through the house and then the backyard to make him release the frightened creature.  As I was running, I thought I should have grabbed my camera to take pics because Henry really did not want to drop the poor guy.  But I was more concerned about freeing the chipmunk from the impending torture Henry would have delivered in his attempt to play (because Henry is not a hunter and does not kill the creatures, he just bats and bites in play as they try to run away and then tails or feet are hurt and then there are tears). 

You haven't met Jezebelle yet.  She is a hard one to photograph because she is ALWAYS moving.  So the pics are ALWAYS blurry.  Jezzie is the biggest sweetheart ever.  Last night I brought Little Horse into her room (she's quarantined until Sunday when she can be released in the house) and she just purred and purred and headbutted him the whole time.  He just sniffed her and then ignored her after he laid down next to me.  I can see Jezzie walking on top of him and then curling up for a warm nap!  And no, she isn't winking at me.  Jezzie only has one eye.  The other was removed after the vet's office (where someone left her!) was unable to treat her eye infection through meds.

Tomorrow I am going white water rafting with my friend Tabitha and four husbands from my street.  Get the feeling the majority of the wives are content with less adventure and more of having their feet on the ground? :)  It is going to be such a FUN day and I can NOT wait!  This is the first time in about ten years that I have gone white water rafting.  I used to go once or twice a year in my late teens and early twenties.  I have missed it.  

Check out this bracelet that Lorelei made with my eggs!

So what's on your weekend agenda?  Resting?  Adventure?  Productivity?  I wanna hear!

Oh, and don't forget about my BOGO 1/2 sale going on in my jewelry shop through the end of the month! :D
