i heart my pink iPod.

so today has been one of those weird weather days.  the mini and i were running around in the park (well, she was running, i was limping along behind her because i threw my back out this morning) and the clouds were spooooky awesome.  we took pictures because we couldn't believe the weird formations!  totally unreal.  then the skies opened up and we splashed our way home.

true to form, as she does whenever there is inclement weather, the mini takes monster naps.  which gave me a chance to enjoy my new refurbished pink iPod (thank you, ebay!) and a return to my jewelry making roots - beading!  my niece requested a blue beaded necklace for her birthday and i sat at the dining room table to work.  i seriously had forgotten how therapeutic stringing can be.  and i used a stunning swarovski heart as the focal piece.  (i am not posting a picture just in case she is creeping my blog, LOL)  there is nothing like a rainy day, listening to retro depeche mode, txting my peeps from my BlackBerry, and beading.  now if those painkillers would just kick in, and someone else would make dinner, everything would be perfect.
