I know my latte is here somewhere...

I have the dishwasher running, the washing machine just finished and I am trying to organize the day. I'm waiting for a shipment of 8mm black onyx beads to finish an order today.

Since Valentine's day is on Sunday I am planning on making Alan a new rosary to replace the one he picked up on a trip last fall. It's made of olive wood, from the Holy Land. It was made on a very light gauge wire and simply falls apart. The point with rosaries is that it takes just as long to make a rosary by hand using inferior materials as good materials. It makes no sense to me to put the time in working on a rosary just to have it fall apart because you skimped on the materials. I would rather put good time and care the first time around than have to spend time on repair.
