My New Best Friend

This wheel of string and I have become great friends the past few weeks. I use it all the time to make my necklaces. I think the metal string I bought but have yet to use is kinda jealous.

Wonder if I should start sleeping with one eye open?

Black Amber

This was the easiest and hardest necklace I've done so far. It's just a simple amber pendant that used to belong to my mother. Putting it on the string was the easy part. Sticking over 300 tiny seed beads took forever. At one point there were plenty of beads down my shirt shirt and in my bra. My hands got a little slippery. Meh, it happens.

A Dinner Rarity

In the entire time that I've known CraigiePoo she has never cooked fried chicken. She's always been against it on the grounds that she doesn't like to fry food and the smell gets all over the house. I guess I finally wore her down. We had homemade fried chicken for dinner tonight.

The Invasion Begins

You probably can't tell from this photo (I was pulling out of the parking lot when I shot it), but this bird is huge. There were a couple more on the other side of my car just hanging out. These things creep me out.

Old School, Fool!

So one of my friends from high school dared me to post a picture of this cassette if I could actually find it. I used to play this damn cassette all the time. I'm about ready to shell out some money to actually get it on CD so I can put it on my Mp3 player. I wanted to play it this weekend, but realized I don't have a cassette player except in my car.

Amethyst Bracelet

My goal, one day real soon, is to make a bracelet that I can actually wear. Once again, I made the bracelet too big. It's not as big as the other previous bracelet, but it stills feel a little to big to wear out of the house. I just know I would constantly be checking my wrist to make sure it was still there.

Amethyst Necklace

I've spent so much time in the arts and crafts stores this past month that I should start investing in the companies. I went to a new bead store yesterday in Berkeley and almost lost my mind. So many beads, so much poorness. I could hardly control myself.

I made this necklace for the one, the only CraigiePoo. It's got amethyst, hematite, and a bunch of glass seed beads in purple, silver, black, and white color. The woman loves her purple.

Back in 2005 I graduated from massage school. It was an awesome experience that lasted over the course of a year.

Twine Bitches!

Pulled out before its time

CraigiePoo is growing vegetables on our balcony. I'm not sure why, but this carrot was pulled out of the soil too early. I think it's edible. Kinda scary looking. I'm sure there's a fetus joke running around my brain, but that's going too far even for me.

Beginner Goddess Bracelet-Oya

My second bracelet in my beginner Orisha bracelet trilogy. This is representational of Oya. She has been really calling me heavily the past few months. I've found it quite frustrating that I can't find a lot of information about her. She's almost like the forgotten Orisha. The information I do find on her is sometimes conflicting. Some say her colors are white and red, others say brown and red, or maroon, wine, etc. I've chosen to use red and brown with a little tiny bit of purple for this necklace.

Beginner Goddess Necklace-Yemaya

This is another necklace I've created. It's the first of three I'm planning to make. The main reason I started to explore jewelry making was because I couldn't find the right necklace. It's a long story that I'll go into one day soon.

I've been reading a lot lately about the Yoruba Orisha's. This necklace is my first attempt at making neck ware that is representational of the Yemaya-the orisha who rules the sea.

Let's Get Physical, Physical. I wanna get Physical

So last month I went to the doctor for my annual physical. I was surprised to learn that I wasn't the weight that I had thought I was. I had actually lost some weight since the last time I had gone to the doctor, early in 2009. I went back to the doctor for a follow up appointment last. Somehow in a month, I managed to gain 6lbs!!!

CraigiePoo found the weights, pulled them out of the closet and brought them into the living room. Now it's just a matter of actually picking them up and use them.

I woke craving watermelon. I was hoping I wouldn't have to leave the house today since it's technically a holiday, but the craving wouldn't cease.

Mama's Got a Brand New Toy!

I have, for years, wanted to learn to the guitar. I tried about 10 years ago to learn, enrolled in a class at the community college, and quickly dropped out. The class had damn near 40 people! I need a little bit more one on one than the class allowed. CraigiePoo and I went to the flea market today and I found this beauty. CraigiePoo talked the merchant down from $35 to $30. Add that to the cost of new strings and a tuner, if it doesn't work out this time I've only spent $50.

I'm not quite sure what I should call her. I'm thinking either Blue Bella or Blue Betty. I can't decided. Maybe Bella Bluetone or Betty Blue. I don't know. What y'all think?

The Oscar Grant/Johannes Mehserle trial is wrapping up this week and a verdict is expected to come down real soon. Many in my great city of Oakland are anticipating violence in the even that a "not guilty" verdict comes down and Mehserle goes free.

Monkey Business

On our first date, CraigiePoo and I went to an independent children's boutique store. They sold a bunch of kiddie items: clothes, books, etc. They also sold these little magnet, bendable animals. Apparently this wasn't the first time that CraigiePoo had been in the store. She was just adding to her collection.

I married her anyway.

Peachy Goodness

My mother used to make Peaches and Dumplings. It's basically peach cobbler, but with dumplings. Anyway, I got the craving for some last week and I mentioned it to CraigiePoo. In addition to making peaches and dumplings, we poured a little of the peach mixture on our pancakes. Delicious. What else can I say?

Chickabob

The Mrs. cooked up some chicken kabobs for dinner today. As usual they were delicious. There were pineapples, mushrooms, onions (not a fan), and of course chicken. It was a delicious, lite, and healthy meal.

Homemade Burgers

CraigiePoo pulled out the George Foreman grill this evening and whipped us up some delicious homemade burgers. She brushed some special barbecue sauce on the burgers while they were on the grill. Deliciousness increased 10 times over.

I'm spoiled.

New Spice Rack

This is courtesy of my aunt as a wedding gift. It took almost a year to get. It was originally delivered to our old address and left on the front steps. The unsecured front steps. As far as we know, some hoodrat has got the original spice rack and is filling it up with their reefer and dope.

I said reefer. Haha!

Aren't reefer and dope the same thing? I don't know. That "Just Say No" got to me and I've never touched either.

Why would you need cotton swabs this long?

Cake drizzled with strawberry sauce and side of vanilla ice cream
