Thursday is usually my day off - I don't usually join in on any memes on Thursday and when I post without a meme, I usually don't get any comments, which depresses me : ) I did, however, have a few things I wanted to say today.
No. 1 - I had my first weigh in at Weight Watchers last night and lost 4.4 pounds - had I removed my Crocs, it may have been 4.5 but, hey, they're part of me.
No. 2 - Hootin' Anni is in the third week of her new meme and it's really a great one - makes you think! Unfortunately, I am still at a loss for an idea after these three weeks. Perhaps I've lost the ability to think? Perhaps my taste is toward music with lyrics that wouldn't be acceptable? Whatever. Why don't you hop on over there and see what you can come up with - it's really a good one!
No. 3 - Am still very very happy with Chrome vs. Internet Explorer. I have only found two things that don't make me happy, as compared to the many many things on IE. First, some sites won't show their full content in Chrome. Second, if you like to highlight portions of articles or whatever and print just the highlighted section, you can't in Chrome. Or I should say I can't - maybe I'm doing something wrong. I truly believe that they will fix these problems, or maybe they're not even problems - after all Chrome is streamlined to go very fast and maybe these are extras that fall by the wayside. Anyway, I'm still happy with it! My frustration level has gone way down.
And now, just so you won't miss seeing some pictures, here are a few of some of the guitars that Victor makes by hand, from blocks of wood.
This one has the head covered in a thin sheet of some blue shell - forget the name:
This one has an armadillo he hand carved - his company is called Blind Armadillo:
And this one I just particularly like the wood - and you should feel it - smoother than satin. I know, the cliche is smoother than silk, but I happen to feel satin is smoother than silk:
That's all folks. Have a happy day. Peace. B : )
Signs, signs, everywhere signs....this sign is not actually a directional sign, but it does mark my husband taking a good direction in his life. Victor is half Italian and half Irish, and has an artist's temperament, so to say he's a little quick on the anger trigger is quite an understatement. However, a couple of months ago when he was working on the guitars he makes, from scratch, by hand, he did something wrong and ruined two of them. This was not good of course, but not the end of the world, so I had to show him that, being the good wife that I am : ) I suggested he take the oval base off our armadillo, make his sunglasses fit better, and make him and the two ruined guitars into a sign that I can use when taking photos for his blog and website. And here it is:
This sign represents a time of triumph - over loss, over anger, and blah blah blah. I am VERY proud of him.

Peace. B : )
