The Notebook

It was a good day. I was productive - finished beading three necklaces and one pair of ear rings. Got a good head start on another three pair of ear rings as well. Didn't do much knitting or crocheting today though. I'll have to save that for the next two or three days. Janeen and I discovered the bead store in Cumberland Square today. They have a wide selection and most everything was reasonably priced. I was particularly pleased with a strand of pearls that I picked up to make a necklace for my Mother for Christmas. Little by little I am finishing my Christmas present projects. Neener and I beaded and hung out for a good several hours this afternoon. I've missed her. Realized how wrapped up I have been with school and how little time I have spent with my good friends. Perspective changes when you aren't in a serious relationship anymore. Time feels different. Different possibilities, different decision making processes. It was good to take my mind off of school and creatively veg for awhile.
This evening I watched The Notebook. Mom and V have both seen the movie and read the book. I think V started reading his books first and passed them on to Mom. I enjoyed the movie and ended up crying at the finish. Chalk it up to hormones or being tired. It was a good movie, and for all its fairy tale romance was a good reminder of some of the things I am looking for in my potential future life partner and husband. One thing is certian, Nicholas Sparks sure knows how to pull at the heart strings of this woman. That's all for tonight.
