I had *lunch* today!
For the first time in a long time… without having to make huge plans, have someone cover for me, leave a note on the door that was out of place… I had LUNCH with my husband today, a work day… a sit-down… leisure… LUNCH at a restaurant!
It’s the small things….
I’ve been doing some layouts for our announcements (hitched, moving, etc) for family and friends on postcards… and I’m putting the series of postcards into an envelope with rounded edges and tying them with bows. That little package goes into a vellum envelope that I have been hand-addressing. Ummmm… it’s been a week and I’ve done 20. Twenty. They have taken around 30 minutes each to do. V was funny… “You don’t have to put our last names on the envelope, it will save you at least 10 minutes”. Ha. My wrist hurts. If only I was ambidextrous, I could get more done. Trivia… both of my parents are left handed and I’m right. Someone told me that makes me a genius… for. some. reason.
Oh, once… I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled (have I told you this story? Yawn if I have) and the dentist/surgeon guy, who happened to look like Larry from Three’s Company and his assistant looked like Crissy, but anywho… I was at the Regal Beagle… and they put up my x-rays… “Larry” called all his colleagues over… “Look! She has *the* hole!”
Ummmm…. well…. turns out, I have some nerve hole in my jaw that went extinct with Neanderthal, but *I* still have it! Apparently, the little hole wasn’t being used for anything, but it was there… for some reason. So, I refer to myself as the missing link from time-to-time. So, the genius theory… nice try ;)
Oh, and my surgery was bookended by Phil Collins… went out to him, came to to him… and like a Pavlovian dog, I change the channel if Phil comes on the radio, or my teeth start aching. (That wasn’t funny).
So, back to my layouts… here’s a sampling…. sans some of the words….
There are 4 postcards total…. all color front and back. I love the color scheme. The envelopes have a matching hand-colored frame embellished thing going on. I’ll take pics of the finished envelopes when they are done in 2010. They sure are perty. For those of you who want to know where I get my postcards printed… I use Got Print in Burbank/Sun Valley, please tell them I sent you :)
I think once I’m settled I will make myself available to do layouts, if you need such a thing :) I *love* doing this stuff!!
Phew… time for bed… no more talk of teeth and anthropology (which was one of my favorite classes! Very interesting!)
P.S… The store is open on Friday from 11-7 and saturday from 10-6… last chance to come see what we’ve got :)

Congratulations on enjoying Your Lunch Date ! midweek mid-work day ! AWESOME !
Love the postcards and hearing about the envie thing makes me curious - they sound delicious. YES the color scheme is WONDERFUL.
I was trying to remember the name of that place…the printer.
Thank You!
I called the shop today…boo hoo to hear “We Are Permanently Closed…”. Weird. But Good. I keep saying that to myself.
Cracking up over Your Missing Link Story and want to thank you for giving me new fodder to tease you with. (And oh I WILLL be using that one !)
Phil Collins is NOT funny. I turn the channel too.
Will see you tomorrow. Picking up MY STUFF ! Saying good bye to the shop. WAh.
Love, S
ps - YOU “ARE” A GENIUS.

Leaving my info here as well to hear about the yard sale (yipeeee!!).
I was also wondering if the print place in Burbank is where you
had your cards printed too? I’d love a recommendation if it is not..
So looking forward to seeing you before you, sniff, move.
