I barely got out of the apartment on time this morning. I got so used to leaving on my own schedule that I forget to look at the clock and tend to dally a little in the mornings. When we got to the office, Elsa bought me coffee. She’s so sweet! I had bought her coffee the other day, to welcome her back to the office, and she reciprocated this morning.
I was very busy all day long. I’m working on a big file job – sorting resumes from 1999 through 2007. Everything prior to 2006 gets shredded. 2006 and 2007 are being boxed up (by me) and sent to storage. 2008 stays in the files. It’s a huge job, but I love this sort of thing.
I also worked on projects for a few other girls, along with my regular responsibilities So, the day flew by quickly. I spoke to Eric at lunchtime, and then again when I got home. Then, I took a nap because I knew Marlene was coming with her boyfriend and wouldn’t get to San Diego until about 9:30pm.
I woke up at 8:00pm, cleaned up the apartment and got ready for their arrival. She was right on time at 9:30pm. She LOVED the tissue box, which she had previously only seen on my blog. She also bought the mirrored tray with the jewelry mosaic border, and two of my small bejeweled mirrors that stand on a table.
She and her boyfriend both flipped from the yoga mirror and tray and the butterfly mirror. They were so impressed with how I had customized the pieces for her daughter and just couldn’t get over it. I was pleased with how they came out, and was so glad they were, too.
We had a great time talking and getting to know each other. She’s really a great girl and I enjoy her company. Her boyfriend is very sweet and he is very patient with her, because I’m sure he’s not interested in jewelry mosaics, but he drives her almost two hours each way just to see me and pick up her merchandise!
They left a little after 11:00pm and then I watched GHOST WHISPERER, which was so sad that I cried through the entire episode.
Tomorrow I am working on my place cards for the Greenberg Soiree. I’m very excited. It’s something I’m crafting myself, but it’s small enough that I can make one for everyone and take it to New York without worrying about it breaking, or taking up a lot of room!
I also have to go food shopping, pick up clothes I had altered at the dressmaker, and do a lot of laundry. I am going to start packing, too – at least figuring out what I’m going to take!
I’m so excited about my trip and can’t believe that in one week I’ll be on a plane flying to New York!
