Rambling On

This time of year is not only my favorite time of year because it’s the Christmas season, but it’s also my favorite time of year because this is when I see the most sales for my jewelry. So for the past month or so I have been busy making tons of jewelry to sell at Christmas craft fairs. There is no better feeling than to be able to deliver an order to a customer and see how pleased they are with their purchase. I think making sure to ensure my order fulfillment to all my customers has enabled me to have repeat customers as well. So this year I will be headed out to all the craft shows to try to sell all my inventory. Wish me luck!

I guess living in Eastern Canada I shouldn’t be so surprised that we are getting some seriously cold weather, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve got to like it. Yesterday it was so cold here that I actually had to wear a black turtle neck under my uniform at work. And this morning it took over 10 minutes for the windows on my car to defrost. I guess it could be worse, we could be having some serious snow fall like we have had in previous years. So if I had to chose between the cold or the snow, I guess I’ll take what we are having.

I honestly can’t tell you how pleased I am with the weather these days. Last year at this time we were up to our backsides in snow. So far this year we only had to little snowfalls that didn’t amount to anything. And the temperatures are so mild, that you really don’t even need to wear a winter coat. This type of weather is perfect for my acne problems and I haven’t had to purchase any acne treatments yet this fall. When the colder weather hits, for some reason so does my acne problems. But this year, so far so good. I really wish this type of weather would continue all winter. I know it won’t so I will enjoy this weather while we still have it.

About a month ago I went to my family doctor and he was seriously displeased with me. I had lost a ton of weight and at that time only weighed 88 lbs. Well, that’s not healthy. He even asked me if I was taking any kind of fat burners to get this weight off. Of course I answered no and told him I was just losing the weight. So he informed me that if I lost any more he was going to put me in the hospital to build me up. Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve gained 2 lbs. Yes, that doesn’t sound like a lot of weight. But when you weigh as little as I do, 2 lbs is a milestone. Hopefully I will be able to keep up this trend and not have to be admitted to hospital.

Yeah. I know it’s only Friday, but the weekend is creeping up on us. So what are your plans for the weekend?

I have a busy, busy weekend ahead of me. On Saturday and Sunday I have to work for a few hours. After work I will be searching for a new car. I also have to help my daughter with two huge reports that are due next week and I also have to find a reliable and cheap flash drive. So, I won’t have a whole lot of time during the weekend to get in here and post. So if I don’t make it back in, then I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Last week a friend of mine asked if I would create her a one of a kind necklace, earring and bracelet set. Of course I said yes and tried to get on it as quickly as possible. The only problem with this, was the fact that I haven’t made any jewelry for awhile so I was really unsure as to wear all my supplies were. Well, I found them. Completely by accident mind you. While looking for them I upset one of my totes. I had loose diamonds rolling all over the floor. What a mess! So instead of creating jewelry, I spent two days cleaning up one heck of a mess. But the mess is clean. So later on today I will start creating.
