Was there any question? YES I AM A DORK!

ROLLING...

I've been wanting roller skates for YEARS! Lately I've been thinking how fun it would be to roll around at the gallery with it's rock hard concrete floors.

My house has ALL tile floors! It took me a solid 3 hours to scrub them last week, when I realized "Hey these floors could be FUN!!!!!!"

So yesterday I bought some roller blades and rolled my pudgy winter belly around all day! With any luck, this will be my spring time exercise regimen.

(I wanted skates, but they are too old school to find easily. Turns out rollerblades are just like ice skating.)

I'm sure in another week there will be pictures of my bruised body :o)

BUSY BEE

ahhhhhhhhhhhhH. I never have enough time!
I have so much I want to do and tell everyone. There is major MAJOR drama at our new art center. I try not to let it effect me, but my mind is pre-occupied with it. I can't really discuss it right now because it's too intense and pretty sticky.

So because of this and the extra meetings, my schedule has been too crammed.

I apologize for not having my new "ORPHAN part 2" sale ready to start on Saturday Feb. 7th. I will honestly work my butt off to get it ready for Sunday morning. I have the pictures taken of all the sale rings, but not the pins.

And the shawl pins are gonna be awesome :o)

Dunkin Donuts

Dunkin Donuts has the most amazing

& delicious donut! I don't know how to spell it, much less say

it...but it's something like the "french coullet".

My waisteline is not happy about the Dunkin Donut western invasion....but I'm thrilled as could be.

Darn Granny Panties

I do alot of embarrassing things...

One of my most recent involved the ever comfortable secret "granny panties". Yes, from time to time I throw them on cuz who's gonna see them ...Right??? wrong!

Innocently roaming the isles of the dollar store, I was just trying to break up my day and get away from the internet for a bit.

It seemed that there was a small swarm of significantly older gentlemen continuously circling around me, but I figured it was my imagination.

After carelessly browsing for an hour or so, I made my purchases and left the store. Naturally my hands were full with bags and my purse and keys.

I noticed a chilly draft in the southern region. YUP, my zipper was down and WIDE WIDE WIDE open. What's worse is that my flowery grannys were exposed AND my hands were full so I couldn't subtly zip (without putting all my bags down on the sidewalk and publically zipping)!!! And as a special treat, I had parked very far away to get a little exercise and I had to walk by the grocery store and bank... and several several people. uggh.

New Year Sale

MY 1,000 sale on ETSY!!!! yipee I'm sooooooooooo excited.

I sincerely apologize for not keeping up with my blog!!!
I've been having an "ORPHAN" sale at www.rubyvegasdesigns.com and it has kept me super busy :o). All my orphan shawl pins were on sale for $5 and $10. I'm just trying to clear up space and be more organized for 2009. Thank you to all my fabulous customers who have helped me out with the sale :o)

February's orphan sale will be rings and other jewelry items I've been "storing" haha. So stay tuned for awesome deals.

Ebay finds!

My Ebay Jackpot!

Way too many "wins" this month!!! Here's a picture of about 1/4 of my purchases... Yes, I feel very guilty. But I still can't wait to start some projects!!!

New Year Resolutions

GOT ONE?
Here's mine (in no particular order):

1. I of course, have the usual "exercise more"...or exercise at all :o)
2. Take half an hour a day to stop clutter of jewelry projects
3. Take 10 minutes a day to speed clean the house
4. cook more
5. Keep in touch with my brother more
6. Serious business plan for RubyVegas

The last one is a doozy because I have so many goals! Sometimes it's so hard to even know where to begin. Maybe this year I will actually make it to SCORE (a program where retired executives volunteer to help with your business).

I feel better seeing this written down :o)
