Artificial Ears

Well, that was interesting. Just got home from an interview for an assistant manager job for a jewelry store in the mall. I'd be piercing ears if I got the job. They have artificial ears to practise on. Somewhere out there is a company that sells fake ears

Quantum Tea

Finally I have a name for my web site that I am entirely happy with. Quantum Tea. I get through a lot of tea, and, while there is a book called "The Quantum Rose," (the site's former name), there is nothing else called Quantum Tea. Now

House hunting with powertools

Tiring day. At 9am we were in a Ford minivan heading out to look at our first house with Janis, our real estate agent. It was a gorgeous brick house in a great location, hardwood floors, dry basement, great kitchen, two bedrooms instead of three, but lots of space. It

Birthday!

Paul gave me a turquoise Photon II light from Think Geek, and I love it! He tripled the memory on my laptop, upgraded one of my most often used pieces of software and gave me a really cool t-shirt that says "No, I will not fix your computer."

Stage Fright

I'm going to see a woman about a bracelet at 2.30 pm, and I'm nervous. This could be my first real jewellery sale, and she might have an address I could send my CV/resume to for her brother-in-law's company. Scary. I have

Lawsuit

Apparently Hubby has been in a class action lawsuit and never even knew it. We got a check from Chase Manhattan for a whopping 86 cents. It must have cost them more than that to print and mail it. We still don't know what the lawsuit was actually

Cooking

The Leaning Tower of Laundry has been reduced to a smallish pile of rubble, and there is fresh, handmade bread rising in the kitchen. Parcels arrived from Fiona and my parents, it's pouring with rain outside, and tonight is the Alpha course celebration dinner. Dana Engleman is cooking
