Well, as promised, a picture of the ‘ugly’ crystal that I picked up at the gem and mineral show the other weekend. Comes from CT here, W. Stafford to be exact. Quartz covered with some sort of other mineral. Picked up a whole flat (flat box) of ‘em from the digger himself. (To sell in the shop.) Didn’t get to talk much, place was busy and we didn’t have much time since we had to run back to open the store, but another piece clearly has some dusting of pyrite. I like this one though, have it right next t me as I write here. Lol, that one point on the top looks like a turtle head to me, Gamera that is. Cool, one of my fav Heroes of youth.

Beyond that, no concert for E tonight. LOL it’s next week thank goodness, which means if I push, I might actually get to find out where it’s going down and post it on the event’s page of the site.

Other then that, put in another counter offer on the house we like today via email. Oh man, they have got to hate us, the sellers to the realtor agency, but what the hell? It’s our life and money here and whether they want to say aloud the truth they all know about the economy and how property values are going to take a nosedive, its still true. Not our problem, and if not this place, then another. Just taking it slow a day at a time and no rush. We can deal with what we have to...though an owner of another ‘new age’ shop who has to move but wants to stay in town came by to see our building to possibly buy. Well, only if the price is right, otherwise, we may just fix the old place here soup to nuts and rent it out. If nothing else, we’ve got options galore.

Okay, time to sit back and digest my steak dinner. Lots of whole, roasted garlic cloves were tossed into the pan and YUM!

Cheers,

Melissa

The top part of that crystal does look like a turtle's head. Kewl! You sound a lot more relaxed and more positive than you have in previous posts, my friend; I'm really glad for that. You and E. certainly have had your share (and then some) of struggle, that's for sure.

Please take care of yourself, dear lady.

Thanks Holly, I'm trying to focus on the good stuff more...ha.

Melissa

Well, my friend, I can understand why that might be challenging to do, now. I figured it out this morning, actually, when I nearly took my poor hubby's head off for no reason: Mercury is in Retrograde, again. *sigh*

It's not hopeless, though. We all just have to try harder to see and stay focused on the positive things. Have a good Sunday, sweet lady, and please take care of yourself.

Morning, Melissa -

It's a special Manic Monday, today, if you feel like coming by.

Good morning, Melissa. I hope you're feeling okay today. Got some cute stuff up at the Tree for Hump Day, if you're feeling up to visiting.

Morning, Melissa. Just dropping by to wish you a pleasant Easter weekend.

LOVE crystals. I have way too many tumbled ones myself. Partial to Goldstone (especially the dark purple one)... because it's shimmery. LOL.

Morning, Melissa. Just dropping by to see how things are going and to wish you a great day and a great week, too.

Happy to you, Melissa. I hope you're doing well, and that you'll be back soon... You're missed around here, my friend.

Hi Melissa,
I craved rocks and dirt once when I was pregnant. Middle of frozen winter and couldn't get to the, prefer steak and garlic now too.
