it's the weekend and i've accomplished nothing

so i've been incredibly lucky to see a spike in business, and i have a gallery event that i need to make tons of things for, aaand i have another possible opportunity to sell in an e-boutique, so i told myself on friday that i was going to lock myself inside today, turn off the phone, and create until my hands were blistered...and then maybe create some more. as anyone who knows me can tell you, when i'm feeling swamped, i do my best procrastinating. today i procrastinated like a champ and got a total of almost nothing done! instead of churning out new items like a machine, i met up with chris' family, then had a nice long chit chat with auntie amy, then came home and wasted hours doing nothing. and i have to say, i thoroughly enjoyed it! our family meet-up started at the cemetery where we all saw the new grave marker for chris' grandpa, then we went to ruby tuesday for lunch. what does one wear to a cemetery and lunch? i took pictures for you...

i really hadn't planned what i'd wear, and because i wasn't paying attention to the clock this morning, i had a total of 20 minutes to straighten the really curly parts of my hair, brush my fangs, clean my face, get dressed, and feed flojo. so this is what i came up with. i sort of think it looks like i was channeling my inner equestrian, only i didn't realize i had an inner equestrian as i haven't ridden a horse since elementary school. anyway, it worked and it was comfy. dress - converse, jeans - can't remember the brand but i got them from tj maxx, boots - vintage, ring - remade vintage, bangles - dinosaur toes.

i feel really strange taking and posting pictures of myself, but i feel even more weirded out when i get chris to take pictures of me. i get a serious case of the giggles, and as hard as i try, i can't keep a straight face. so for your viewing pleasure - the shame is on me - here are today's outtakes...

friday i got my good ol' grandma to ride to work with me. my job is mainly me riding around in the car going to meet clients and get advertising information. it's not too glamorous, and it gets really lonely; that's why it's always a treat to have someone ride with me! we talked so much that i'd forgotten even driving to some of the places, and she came along with me to get some new stones. here's just a little hint: citrine.

i hope you've had a good weekend so far, and i hope you have a happy halloween!
