From the Courthouse

Okay, so it's been seven very busy weeks since my last blog post - just not enough hours in the day. I've heard that April-May-June can be really crazy for parents and that's definitely the case here.

Anyway, today I find myself sitting downtown at the courthouse, waiting to find out if I'll be seated as a juror. And guess what? It's like a one-day vacation. I am able to do work because they have a great business center. But if I wanted, I could go play video games upstairs...go to the cafe...or even watch Avatar, which they are showing in the big-flat-screen "theater" at the moment. I had no idea jury service could be so productive or fun.

So to backtrack just a bit...

I spent a fabulous week out west with my mom and baby brother, visiting Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Grand Canyon...

I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my two sweet peas...

And we celebrated Sam's pre-K graduation...

Now that school is out for a bit we are swimming every day, trying to get some fun summertime in before they go back, and generally just having a great time together. They are more fun by the day.

Not quite sure when I'll have a new set of beads for eBay, and I'm considering closing my Etsy shop so I can focus more on my site and eBay...too many irons in too many fires, obviously! We'll see. I've been working on a lot of custom orders and thinking about changes I want to make to "the business." It's all exciting!
