garage gypsy: thoughts

Mental Clash.

Do you ever have moments like this? Well, it was one of those days where there are page long to-do lists floating around, constant ideas flickering around in the noggin, emails pulling you in multiple directions, and the thought of there never being enough hours in the day to accomplish it all. It's amazing to think that there are actually 16 hours in a day if you get 8 hours of sleep because it never feels that way. I'm one of those people that needs at least 7 hours of sleep to function properly - that or no sleep at all and just lots of coffee. I'm notorious for pulling those whammy days. Anyway, I hope everyone's having a fabulous week! It's been a long week for me, but a really fun one thus far. Monday and Tuesday I worked on a commercial in the costume department. I would love to have day of dress up in the costume house, I'd be playing in all of the wild colored clothing from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. And yesterday, I caught an early morning flight to my home town, just outside Chicago for my little brother's high school graduation. It's not exactly a vacation, but I guess it's nice to get away.. So let the party planning begin..

Because of you.

Hello friends. I decided today should be reader appreciation day :) I don't think I have yet made this clear, but YOU are the reward to the time and effort I put into having a blog. Granted, I do get some personal satisfaction of accomplishment and pride when I post, but nothing makes me happier than the comments left and shared by my peers. I want nothing more at times than to have developed a brilliant and beautiful collection of jewelry, but without you, without someone to appreciate it, it would mean nothing. This is my cause, I want to make an effect. I think that we are all capable of something great because we all possess a unique talent. I want to use mine to make the world a more aesthetically beautiful place, to inspire those around me, and those far, far away as well. Even though we're all still learning and developing, we can still make an impact.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for being a friend (distant or close), for reading, for sharing your thoughts, your opinions, your ideas with me and with others. You can make a difference, too, help me grow! Tell your friends - verbally, through twitter, facebook, your blog, linkedin, lookbook, tumblr, what have you (that list could go on for quite some time now)! I really appreciate, and if I can return the favor let me know, comment or send me and email. If we help each other out, I think we can really make things happen. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!! Fill it with cooking, friends, music, bike rides, exploration, and art. &I challenge you to get creative :)
