So, Happy birthday to birthday twin

marlatiara!

Things have been ok. Some good things have happened lately, which vastly outweigh the bad ones.

I will have medical insurance again come January! W00T! I have not been covered since 1994.
Job interview (part time, integration of current website content into new design) today at 4:30!
I'm leaving in two days for a weekend away from it all!
Got a surprise email from a family in Colorado who are adopting the child in Mongolia that my cafe is sponsoring, and want to make us part of her life! How cool is that?!
I won a guessing contest and will be getting a gift certificate to Amazon.com for $25 (I think)!

...so, it's not all bad after all. Thankfully.

So busy busy busy! Getting ready for Egil's, dealing with Symantec outsourcing their customer support division (better known as, firing everyone but recommending that they work for the outsourcing company -- a lot of people plan on finding new work), becoming a sponsor to a 10 month old Mongolian girl named Uchral (which means "fate" (roughly) in Mongolian).

I have been working on my new Mongolian headdress. I based it on a pattern from my Mongol Jewelry book by Martha Boyer. I'm using the truckload of seed beads that appear to actually be coral, along with a present I got last year for Solstice -- a beaded band decorated with coral (real or not, I don't know, but it sure looks real), turquoise and cowrie shells. So far I'm pleased at the integration between the pre-decorated and what I'm decorating. Looks good!

Mercury is retrograde. Whee. :P
