Lost!

Oh Dear Friend. It's official. My phone is lost.

Again.

I'm not sure exactly what happened. I had it in my hand Thursday morning when my alarm went off. When I sat down at work 40 minutes later to call my dad, it was gone.

I have searched high and low. I have scrambled into/on top of/over/behind all things in my house. I have dug through garbage. I have broken down and moved fish tanks. It is gone. Forever. Into the abyss.

This is why I can't have nice things.


Anyway, I'm going to go get a new one today. Luckily it was insured so it's not nearly as big a deal as it could be. But it is still inconvenient.

The cockroach that was trying to kill me last week has officially died. He's been entombed inside an upside down mason jar on the living room floor (secured with a rock, naturally). Today, since I am sure he is officially dead, he will be removed and disposed of with little fanfare.

Saturday I hung out with my dad. We de-rusted things through the magic of electrolysis. We cut metal stuff up using aviation snips. We cut wood. We made framed shadow boxes. We painted things. We loitered around the hardware store planning new projects. It was awesome.

We also solidified our plans for my trilobite jam collage/mosaic box (very exciting!!). So Sat. the 25th we will get together and get the box part built and attached to the frame I've sourced. Then the next several weeks will be spent carefully sealing/gluing the fossils into it. I am so psyched about this I could just pee! It's going to be so awesome.

Today I have a variety of projects planned. I'm not sure yet exactly which ones will get accomplished. I am also going to TRY to get my hair cut today, though I don't know that I'll have time once I get the phone business settled, so it may have to wait until tomorrow. All in all though, it's shaping up to be a pretty awesome day.

I hope things are well with you, or at least some shade of almost-well. I miss your face, as always. I also bought the book journal yesterday! Our adventure begins!! *happy dance*

We are so cool. For the record.

Lots of love.
