I’m good, but not this good

Most of you know that I play the flute, and have for years. Some of you know that I love the original Ninendo Super Mario Brothers game. What would happen if you put the two together?

Working Wednesday #8

I’ve just been having so much fun designing my ring, that I think it would be super fun to be a jewelry designer all the time. Can you imagine a job where you get to play with precious gems and metals all day long?
How do you like these?

Is this one better?

Ring Designing

Last week, Jonathan took me to Biondi to begin the process of designing my ring. It was such an awesome experience. Michelle (the co-owner, with her husband) had me sit down and try on almost every ring in the store. She wanted me to be sure that I knew what I liked. While I was doing that, it was like she was reading my mind. I even think she was a couple of times. She even had me try on rings that I liked outside so that I could see what they looked like in natural light.
I found two that I think I really like. They’re quite different from each other, but both are very unique, and will be even more so when we design the final ring together. Michelle is ordering in some loose stones so that we can choose which one(s) to be put into the final ring.
Our next appointment is this Friday, and I can’t wait! If anyone is looking for any type of jewlery, go to Biondi (in Aurora at Parker and Quincy). I’ve never had a better experience!

Virtual Laser Tag

Last week, Jonathan and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and played virtual laser tag. We got to run through the store with a scan gun and beam things to our wish list. It was great fun! (Even though Jonathan got to do most of the scanning.)
Yesterday we received our first wedding gift! Thanks Steve! Can’t wait to see you here in July.

Last Class

Today is my last class of grad school! Yippee! By 9:00 tonight, I’ll be done with classes. I’m not done with my degree, as I still have a few papers to write over the summer, but no more classes. I was beginning to think this day would never come.
