So I've been busy with the beads







I'm sitting here with my spinning wheel 5 feet away and a pound of some luscious creamy merino 4 feet away posting pictures of my late night frolic with beads and wire. Something must be wrong. It's ok... I'll run out of pictures before my insomnia runs out, Plenty of time to spin. Congress is pulling an all-nighter. With my sleep patterns I might be too. I am told it's a woman over 40 thing. So are mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes. However most women go nutso about chocolate. I have done the opposite. I turned against sweets, I dislike chocolate and would rather have a salad with that miso vinegrette dressing than cake, pie, or pudding. I probably wouldn't turn down Tiramisu but would get part way through and wish I had a salad. The diet thing is going OK -thanks for asking. I am bouncing between minus 40 and 50 pounds lost. I have a short term goal. If I lose 70 more pounds I'm going to Disneyland!!! I miss going there. I haven't been able to fit on a ride in some time. It's also the "only 100 more pounds to lose" mark. It's past than 50% milestone. And damn it! I wanna ride the Indiana Jones ride over and over and over again. With the new Indy movie in production they might spiff it up a little. I have fond memories of that ride. I think we were there for opening day. It was back in the day when I did Archaeology. My better half still does. We went with a bunch of other Archaeologist, it was a hoot! One season we worked up in Orange County on a freeway project and we went to Disneyland a lot. Did I say a lot. I mean a lot. It was a fun summer. I might even splurge on a Monte Cristo sandwich from the Blue Bayou. Good times!

Well I posted three more of my crafty art projects. I think I can spin now... or go to bed. Naw..
