stupid busy over here, so good!
lot’s going down in the Jones Camp — good times.
here is a quick list:

1. music - involved in a couple (four) projects. a couple of them are in a “wait phase”, can’t wait to share them with you. a real eye-opener these will be.
two projects of my own going down at the moment, a lot of developing in the works. i know that makes no sense. really enjoying it though, have some new ideas and new people i’m working with.

2. tried some new strings - ick. may write about them later, but i don’t like to bash products so most likely not. i’ll just hint and say that i don’t like coated strings, even ones that say they don’t feel like they’re coated. they just can’t compare. i’ll stick to my favs, which are Dean Markley Alchemy for acoustic. electric strings… meh, not really partial but i like DR a whole lot.

3. outside - i am a hardcore outdoor girl so i have been taking advantage of the nice weather as much as possible. the gardens are blooming and i have more work to do in them as we are expanding some more this year. the iris are about ready to bloom, as are the rhodies.
it is aaaalmost topless Jeep weather, and i can’t wait to get out camping. just picked up some new Keen hikers and i heart them A LOT. yes, i bought the men’s. even with my slender lady feet they are not too wide at all. they’re waterproof too, which is really good because i’m in and around rivers often.

4. some of you know that recently i almost lost one of my kitties. we have three cats; a tiger female (Zorya) and two black boys (Osiris and Merlin). Merlin was hit by a car six weeks ago and almost lost his life. thanks to his vet who has amazing orthopedic skills, he was put back together. it’s been a long recovery for Merlin but he’s almost done! today he had the pin removed from his femur that was holding his leg in place.
amazing… and crazy! he had to celebrate his one year birthday in a dog crate, of all places, but he’s none worse for the wear. he has already been tearing around, though after today’s surgery i think he’ll take it easy for a few days to recover.

5. and … tried the new mint Indiana Jones themed M&Ms… hmm. weird. i am not sure why mint was chosen for these special M&Ms… they are strange. and crunchy. kind of like a cross between an altoid, a junior mint, and a rice crispy. oddly addicting, but they make your mouth and tummy feel strange.
(pushes bowl of mint M&Ms away)

6. watched “The Mist” with my incredibly fantastic buddies over the weekend … hahaha! fantastic ending.
i love it when horror movies end horribly. the pharmacy scene was awesome.
i won’t say anything about the ending, in case you haven’t seen it, but… yeah. real nice.

cheers.
