I missed my 7th Day of Happy yesterday! It just kind of got away from me.

As I was packing my jewelry boxes yesterday, I was going through my jewelry. Packing my jewelry boxes is no small task, I have 5 of them. Picking through each piece and remembering the story behind it, whether sad or happy, was nice. Not to mention the lovely newer acquisitions from elegantdreams made me happy.

-There is the hematite crescent moon necklace that a lovely customer at the art store was wearing one day. I told her I liked it, and she gave it to me right there, even though she had just bought it at a trade show.

-The black seed pearl necklace that was made just for me by another customer at the art store. I need to restring it, because it is getting weak, but it is still one of my favorites.

-The red and black necklace and red rhinestone bracelet that was given to me on Valentines day by an exboyfriend. It was unexpected, and I hadn't realized how good at gift giving he was.

-My collar, made with love by ohno_jonathan_o. I don't wear it much anymore, but I need to.

-My grandfathers security guard badge. I don't know why I have it, but it is in his jewelry box, and I like to look at it often.

Then there are the boxes themselves.
-My grandfather's box. It simple and clean and masculine.
-My upright cherry wood box that mom got me 10 years ago or so. It's not really me anymore, but I still love it.
-My little box that was a gift from my friend in Gallup. I need to call her, because she now has a son 1 day younger than mine, and I have missed her!
-The beautiful silver plated box that my mom got me 2 years ago. It has a raised woodrose design.
-And last but not least, the one I bought from ~n~. It is an upright with a mirrored door that has an etched rose. We all know how I feel about roses.

Sorry, rambling is over now...

Um, today will be hard to come up with a happy...

Ah, I got the bathroom reorganized and have discovered that I apparently collect the little tubes of conditioner that come with hair dye. I've got, like, 6 of them. Do they reproduce when I am not looking? I also went through all of my makeup and threw out old stuff. I don't do that nearly often enough. It is a good thing. Organizing things, no matter how trivial, makes me happy.

Blue hair dye will have to come tomorrow. I ran out of steam to get it done today. I am getting the bleaching part out of the way tonight, though.


{EDIT} Ok. I just washed out the bleach and I have the most fan-fucking-tastic blond/light pink stripe thing going on. I think there is a possibility that I will keep it like this for a couple of days, it is just that AWESOME!!!

We went and looked at more houses in Rio Rancho today. I really liked the last house, but we'll see.

My happy for today is the delicious lunch at a restaurant in Bernalillo called La Casita. YUMMMM. I got the combo enchilada plate with 1 beef, 1 chicken, and 1 cheese. My cheese enchiladas are better, and the chicken was good but not slap yo mama good, but the beef were excellent. The beans were good (I have a hard time finding places that make beans I like), and the rice was good.
The sopas were tasty and had just the right amount of that yeasty taste. The red chile was the perfect heat and the salsa was also just right. Yep. Yum!

I got a rename token for an early Mother's Day prezzie. I am now pandora_blue. So happy!!!


Thank you rubye_tuesday !!!
