Gazpacho

I have never eaten gazpacho. But I know I would like it. Sam the Cooking Guy is making it right now, and me thinks I need to get the recipe! Husband will make it...he loves to cook, you know, and will make anything I want. I told him this looked really good...his response? Well...get me the recipe and make out a list! (He is a list person, too)

Here's the funny part about Husband...and shopping. If you want something...write it down. Because if it's NOT on the list...you don't get it! And you have to be careful. I used to call any kind of dishwashing liquid...Ivory Liquid...I have no idea why. Anyway, I put Ivory Liquid on The List. And he bought it. I always use Dawn...but...I did not write Dawn. I wrote Ivory Liquid...and I got Ivory Liquid. Case closed. I swear...I could write down chocolate covered parmesean cheese sicks and he would look till he found them...and buy them. Hey! I am not complaining. He's the shopper and you DON'T mess with the shopper!

I was too tired to make any jewelry tonight. Hopefully I'll perk up tomorrow. I better get real perky before Saturday. I also need to figure out a table cover. When I was in Wyoming, I pretty much always used deer hides. Most of what I sold was Indian and Western oriented anyway, so I used antlers and literally sticks and branches as display tools. I need a tapestry like cover in a brown or tan color I think. Earthy. Everything available around here is nice...but lots of color. Vivid Southwest style. I like it...but too much or too 'busy' prints overwhelm the jewelry. I might just use a colored sheet. If I went to more shows...I'd invest in something nice...I'm sure I'll find something.

I miss coffee. I haven't had any in 3 weeks. Three loooooooong weeks. It's hard being good. Well, kinda good. No, I haven't cheated. I have seriously thought about it...but I haven't done it. Honest. I guess in some ways, I feel better, but still far from how I should feel. Irritating.

I haven't checked my email yet. I'm sure there is nothing earth shattering. I don't even have to look anything up tonight. No Amazon. No ebay. No Overstock. I should turn this off and close my eyes. Yes...that's a good idea! See you tomorrow!
