Monday, Monday...

Well that weekend went quick! DH had off on Friday for a gold tourney that got rained out. I felt bad for him. He did get to do some stuff around the house though, like finish painting the ceilings in the kitchen!!! WHOO HOO, it's been a year since the remodel and it's finally DONE! I am so happy.

Saturday night we went out to eat for my BIL's b-day. We went to a place called Villa Barone's, i Downtown Collingswood. OMG it was SO good. I had Filet Mignon w/ crab & a Gorgonzola cream sauce. Came with Mized Julienne veggies & Polenta which was very good. I never had Polenta before.

Sunday we had my parents over for dinner. I made Chicken Francaise from an 'America's Test Kitchen' recipe. I thought it was OK. Everyone else liked it. It was a lot of work for such a simple recipe. I also made Mixed veggie 'Ribbons'. Yello squash, zucchini & Carrot sliced this w/a peeler then cooked a couple of minutes with butter. Well I overcooked them naturally. BLEH.

Today I have to go get the permit for the pool. I HOPE I have eveything I need. Still have to order that stupid sand.

On the jewelry front:

I listed a lot on eBay yesterday. It took me forever. Here's a summary:

Red Rose Earrings:



Pink Rose Earrings:


Bordeaux Dangles (Rare color only in Europe supposedly)

Olivine Dangles on Sale:

I really do like the way the Roses turned out. I can also get them in a pale yellow. I just might have to... I can picture them with Jonquil Swarovski's oooohhhh, ahhhhhh.

I have an idea to somehow list custom color crystal earrings. To match a specific dress, top, etc. They'd be relatively inexpensive, but completely custom. U pick the colors. I'd offer a couple different styles. I have to work on that one.


'tis all for now, there's errands to run, laundry to do, etc. etc. etc *sigh*
