Vintage Beauty


After my Granny passed away in 2005, I was able to choose a couple of pieces of her jewelry.
I really loved this ring, but only wore it a few times on my pinky since it didn't fit on any other finger. It didn't really look right on that finger, so I didn't wear it often.
Since losing the weight, my wedding set and right hand band I have are too big. I've had a couple of close calls in wearing them recently where they have slipped off my finger without me noticing. Thankfully, I noticed it was gone shortly after and recovered it. (It had come off my finger when I was taking off my gloves in lab at school. It was with my gloves in the trash can. Scary.)
I remembered this ring, and absolutely love it.
My Granny was always proud of me, but I know she would be extremely proud of me now and love the fact that her ring looks so good on my finger!
And it's vintage!

Easter Silliness

Dan said (jokingly) that we should do this.
We held him to it.
It was his idea, you know.
He gets all the credit!

Bullets!

*Fine Arts is two weeks away! Oh my! It's crunch time, but it's coming together...so exciting!

*Kristen's wedding is three weeks away! YIPPEEEE!!!! I am so ready to see all my peeps!!!

*Finals are right smack in between.....(wohmp, wohmp, wohmp...Debbie Downer...I won't think about that right now.)

*Dan had an MRI on his hand after the wreck, and it wasn't broken after all! YAY! It was severely bruised inside and swollen. He has just in the last week been able to use it regularly, although limited. It is still swollen and glass is still working it's way out.

*It's amazing how you become more sensitive to crazy drivers on the road after you've been in an accident. It's a wonder how some people managed to get a license.

*I've officially lost a whole person. I've made it to 120 pounds of weight loss! Only 55 more pounds to go until my goal is reached!

*My niece is old enough to go to prom. Exciting time for her, but the fact I can't overlook is that..........I'm old.

*On that note, we are planning our 20 year class reunion. Geesh....hahaha. It's been fun getting in touch with a lot of my "old" friends, and I'm looking forward to seeing them all again!

*Easter is this weekend! I can't wait to celebrate the resurrection of my Savior with my church family! Afterward, we are meeting at my aunt and uncle's house to have a lunch celebration with our family that lives locally.

So.......there is a lot going on, and I love it! God is so good!

This is the coolest stuff!

It's a nail polish called Shatter by OPI.
You do a base coat of any bright color and let it dry.

Then brush the Shatter polish over it. When it dries, it crackles.
That's too cool!
It's probably been out forever and I'm just now catching on.
Oh, well! ;)
