so today at work, i was talking about my previous career - i used to be a technical director for the evening news here in providence….. actually i did pretty much all of the behind the scenes tech stuff, from Chryon to floor to audio.  but i ended up as technical director before i chucked it all (for a TON of reasons, including marrying the director <hi hon!>) anyway, i’m a geek now, working in a cubicle farm, surrounded by geeks, and really loving it.  back to the original thought, i was talking about what i used to do, and wanted to show a pic of the switcher i used to run.  didn’t have one online, so i came home to put up this one (by the way, this is CLARENCE, he got the job after i left! and clarence and i don’t look ANYTHING like each other, in case you wonder about that…..)

I’m a geek. My family will tell you, you don’t even have to ask - they’d volunteer the information. Case in point- today I went to the whole foods that will be opening on Wednesday for a free tour of the new store. Yep, a grocery store tour. Now, add to that the fact that pretty much every day of the week I go to whole foods for lunch because there’s one right near work. So I already know what stuff they carry in the store. The tour was great - this new store will actually have MORE stuff — like a mini coffee roasting station, and homemade pasta bar….. AND I came home with a bag full of cool stuff:

bleh. a day of frustrations. when i got up this morning, i was raring to make beads. last night, i organized all my glass– great fun as i had a big box of new glass to include. there’s one color “seashell,” that i just can’t wait to try out.

anyway, when i connected my propane tank and turned it on, i heard hissing and immediately smelled gas. i tried reseating the regulator, but it still leaked. so now i have to pick up a new regulator tomorrow…. no beads today for me!

my second frustration is centered around the little shoppe i want to create on my site. for some reason, the module isn’t uploading pictures correctly. so now i have to geek out and figure that out…. not exactly a relaxing sunday.

maybe after i buy the regulator tomorrow, after work, i can try out “seashell” for a little bit….. i can only hope.

It’s done. Got everything set up and ready to go. I promised Starr&Liam that I would post a pic of “the present,” so I’ve got to take it and put it in here.

Created the About Beadmaking page - love the UI here - easy easy easy. Now, what will you find interesting?
