In exactly 10 days, I will be 19 years old.
It would have been a lot cooler to have been born on Halloween rather than around Thanksgiving (last year my birthday was actually ON Thanksgiving), but I'll take whatever holiday I can get.
I bought beads today so I can start making bracelets for people's Christmas presents (or for myself, hmm.)
I also bought a new container for my bangles. I have this three-drawered container I've been keeping my bracelets in, but my bangles outgrew the top drawer, so it fell out and I just kind of left it there. And the box I'd been keeping my beaded necklaces in also became too small for my necklace population (I know I have a problem, shut up :P) so I put the necklaces in the bangle drawer and the bangles in the new container. Now I have room for new ones, and that makes me happy.
Also, I lost weight (although it's probably just the fact that I've been using an old bathroom scale and the scale at Publix {The best grocery chain IN THE WORLD} and have been thinking I'm about five pounds more than I actually am.)
But Andrea has been asking me to make her a bracelet for MONTHS so I finally bought beads for an Andrea-specific bracelet I might make tonight. It's an odd combination: dusty rose pink hearts with antique-looking flowers on them and white shell beads. I can't help it; both seemed like they'd go well with her personality and they'll probably go well with multiple outfits, so we'll see how that turns out. I know shells and antique hearts don't seem like they'll make a harmonious bracelet, but oh well. :)
That's all I have to say today; goodnight.
