No market today but guess who was bolt awake at 3:00 a.m. and drinking coffee by 3:30? My pal Lynn came by to work on a necklace using the turquoise I'd given her for a birthday present back in January. That inspired me to get stop watching Lie to Me (lovelovelove Tim Roth, whoo hoo) and do something productive. Not to mention right around when Lynn pulled up, I got one of those annoying popup messages asking if I was aware that in the past 48 hours someone using this computer scarfed up 75% of my monthly bandwidth allotment. Uh, ye-ahhh, that would be me. I just signed up for Netflix. I think this is gonna be a huge mistake.
In between lashings of homemade soup, hummus and blue corn tortilla chips and apple strudel with cheddar cheese, I messed around stringing and restringing the two necklaces I started the other day.
"Does this look okay?"
"Nnnnn... needs something here."
"What about this?"
"Nnnnn... what about changing that?"
And so it went for hours.
Raw amethyst focal, amethyst rondelles, high-cut citrine, melon-cut crystal rondelles, 100-year-old Venetian glass seed beads, pewter findings, 21" long, $79:
Kingman turquoise, amethyst rounds and rondelles, pewter and silver-plated findings, glass seed beads, 21" in length, $45:

Are you on a satellite dish? I can't understand why you would be limited to so little bandwidth.
Because I only had the "Lite" service? -- 20 gb per month. Watch one movie and 15 or so hour-long TV episodes in three days, download a couple of gigs worth of job files, watch all kinds of other crap online every day, and it eats up the monthly allowance like crazy. I have a computer, no television. Haven't for over 40 years. I've upgraded my internet to 80 gb/month and I'll see how that works out.
