A Quick Hello. . .

Another weekend is upon us, and boy, am I glad of that. Although I enjoy my medical transcription work, with all the extra hours I'm putting in, I find I need the weekends more than ever to recover. Amazingly enough, I actually managed to melt glass today. Five beads in the kiln as I type this, and more to come tomorrow. With any luck, there should be a new set of beads up on eBay either Monday or Tuesday. I'm pretty sure I'll manage to finish the set, but I'm just hoping the weather picks up - it's been raining all day here, and there's no way I can take decent photos until that clears. I can't really complain about the rain - we desperately need it - but it's not the best weather for photography. Oh well, perhaps it'll pick up by Monday, fingers crossed.

It will be only 2 weeks tomorrow until Russ & I go away to Howqua. I know I've mentioned it numerous times, but I am so looking forward to the break. I can't remember being so desperate for a break as I am at the moment. The best part of the place we're staying it is that it's totally secluded - no phones, no neighbours, no mobile phone coverage - NOTHING (which, I have to add, gives Russ the greatest pleasure. His fear was that I would take the laptop and work the whole time. Lucky for him that's impossible - because, sadly, I admit he's probably right). It's like a little slice of heaven on earth. Russ & I will be spending the first 3 days doing nothing but lounging around the house, catching up on our reading, and spending time in the hot tub. When our friends, Yvonne & Farid, arrive on the Thursday for the last 2 nights, we'll be well rested and ready for some serious fun! It should be fabulous!

And on that note, I'll say TTFN. Make sure to drop by again in the next few days to see the new set of beads. If you're a pink lover, then I think you'll like them!

I'll just leave you with one of my favourite videos. I'm not an SNL fan (or a Will Ferrell fan for that matter), but this skit has always made me chuckle. I always loved "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult, but this puts a totally new spin on it. We definitely need more cowbell! LOL
