Pandora Heirloom bracelet

I started a Pandora bracelet with the gift money from my birthday.  I figured the charms would be a nice, easy, little thing that I could refer people to when they ask for gift ideas.  In the process, we would also be building an heirloom, something I can pass down to M.  But what I can foresee happening is this becoming an obsession, and I will have it full of charms before a gift-giving event comes up ion the calendar!

I started off with a Pandora silver bracelet with lobster clasp, and two clips.

I wanted to add a pearl dangly charm in the middle, but because of a promotion, I ended up with a pink jeweled spacer as well.

Next I wanted to add a retired swirly charm, which I was able to find still at the original price, and again because there was a promotion running, I had to buy a second one, so I selected the cupcake.

fingers and toes

My toes are a lovely golden green, and match my shoes and my army green button-up shirt-dress perfectly! Borghese Euro Green, the one and only bottled I ever purchased from this drugstore brand.  I didn’t use a top coat because I was hoping to find a gold shatter polish today (I was unsuccessful) to apply on top.

My fingers are a free-handed funky French manicure, with soft pink (Essie Limo-scene) and grey-green (Essie Sew Psyched) with a Seche Vite topcoat.

Warning, Contains Tiger Blood!

Yesterday was my first day back at work.  I walked in to find my desk, chair, and phone all wrapped up, with warning signed posted on it.

Packing inventory

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been throwing clothes into my
pink suitcase, in preparation for our Florida vacation.

Today I took inventory.
4 pairs black shorts
3 black dresses
5 black tops
2 pairs black pants
1 grey top
1 black & white top
1 white top

At least co-ordinating should be easy!

And yes, I am well aware that it will be like +30C there.

Bacon, makes everything better.

Snowmen

I saw some guys building snowmen one day.  The next evening, I took a picture of their finished work.  The one on the left has boobs, the one of the left has abs.  I think the one in the middle has a pig’s nose. They also have Batman in the window.

 

Good Fortune for the day

 

Now is the time to set your sights high and go for it.

TRON Legacy

Last night, in preparation to watch TRON Legacy, I re-watched the original TRON film.  It seemed so much cooler when I saw it 25 years ago!  It’s a movie that didn’t age well, looking silly compared to film magic of today.  But TRON Legacy was awesome!  Yes, Sam (as Calvin pointed out) had lines that consisted of at most 5-word sentences, but he was sooo nice to look at, and the black and white and glow-suit imagery was visually exciting and very appealing, and the Daft Punk OST was fun, energizing, and fitting.  And I was super excited to see that Sam was riding my dream motorbike, a Ducati Sport Classic!

I didn’t get to see it in 3D, due to technical difficulties.   I will have to take the girls later in the week.  They were disappointed to hear I was going to the movie without them.  I didn’t think they would be interested in it, but they have been watching the previews on the Disney Channel, so that’s how they knew about it.  I think the tech talk will have them a little lost and confused, but there the story is easy enough to follow without understanding all of it.
