Retrench, Recover and Retry

I'm getting to my post today about six hours later than usual because I'm not feeling super right now, but, that too will pass. I took a nap for an hour and feel much better, so it's probably a bit of sleep deprivation coupled with stress. There are probably many of you in the same position, so enough pity party for me :-)

I have been working on my project for the 2010 Beading For A Cure charity auction. I really want this finished before I leave for Bead & Button Show at the end of the month so that I can concentrate on other things when I return from the show. I am doing a multi-strand neckpiece, and two of the strands are quite nice. But the third, that I did on Sunday, I am not happy with. So, after I am done posting here, I'll be ripping it apart and doing something else. I'm not happy with the entire project concept, but it'll actually look really nice and be rather versitile, so things could be worse. I just need to buckle down and finish the darned thing.

And last night my DH took me out for a birthday dinner at California Pizza Kitchen (I highly recommend the Jamaican Jerk pizza - absolutely amazing) and the new Star Trek movie. The movie was fabulous, the dinner was great, and I came home to roses on my kitchen counter. All in all, a really nice day.
