I just finished a basic beading class.  This is more a refresher course than anything.  It was fun and I met some new people.  I also learned some new stuff.  I now know how to earrings better and quicker.  Now all I have to do is practice, practice, practice.  I guess practice does make perfect.

I got up yesterday not knowing what I was going to do.  I called a friend, Deborah, to see what she was doing and find out about her new job.  Turns out we went to Christiansburg together and went shopping.  It was a little retail therapy for us girls.  Both of us needed time away from our husband and children.  We went to Michael's, the schoolhouse, Joann's, pet smart, and goodwill.

I had a fabulous time.  I got me a fish at Pet Smart.  We named him Christian for our trip to Christiansburg.  He pouted and laid on the bottom of the container.  For a brief minute, we thought we had killed him when we got back to my parked car.  I don't know how we could have but it was a thought.  I have to go to Walmart today to get some fish food cause I left it in her car.  I hope he isnot too hungry.

Deborah got a bearded dragon.  He was so cute from what I could see of him.  While we were in Pet Smart, she bought 60 crickets for him to eat.  Now, I want to know if it really was 60 crickets.   They were jumping all over the place and were all different sizes.  They cost 12 cent a piece.   They lived on the way home.

I read on facebook this morning that Deborah was trying to put the crickets in another container so they could live longer and some how they got loose.  She said she was chasing crickets all over the place.  I said to let the dragon eat them.  I almost died laughing with the picture in my mind on her chasing crickets.  What in the world did she do?  Hold the bag open and tell them to move over?  Heehee hee hee.  I am still laughing.  How do you transfer crickets to another container.  I am going to recommend that she take the container with her next time and have the man put them in it there.  The sales person did not seem to have any trouble.  I guess he showed them who was the boss from the get go and they knew who they were dealing with.  I am still laughing.  I gotta see this.  Sorry Deborah, but it is funny.

I am still working on my cookbook and trying to come up with menus and recipes.  I especially am working on the freezer meals.  I am excited to do it.  Just need to get more time.  I have collected alot of recipes and ideas.  Maybe when the house gets warm, I can sit down and work on it.  It should help with my grocery bills as well.  I will be buying only what I need.  I also want to organize my cabinets so I know what I do have.  Job in progress.  Just glad that I feel like doing it.  If you know me, you know this is a big change for the better.
