I took a month off from blogging. Most of my time was split between Kelly, GTA:San Andreas, and writing proposals. But I have more time now, so I'll try to be good about posting, especially so I don't have to hear Kelly nagging me about it. :)

Kelly and I went down to Tucson on Saturday to visit Beth and the Gem and Mineral Show. It was pretty awesome, and we found some great deals! I bought some sphalerite and pyrrhotite and a ruby for myself. Kelly and I shared on a cool emerald. I bought Kelly some blue chalcedony, a purple tourmaline, and a mystery valentine's day gift, and she bought me a huge amazonite with little schorls on top. Beth gave me some apophyllite, and her dad gave me a huge shark's tooth. It was a blast.

Where do you fit in the heirarchy?

I survived another wave of holidays unscathed. It was pretty laid back, though. I made a couple pies for the first time in my life. Apple-blackberry and peach-raspberry. Everybody said they were delicous. I'm actually thinking of making some more vegetarian lasagna. That's really good too. I don't really like cooking, but I enjoy making something that takes more time and skill so that I feel like I've accomplished something great when I'm done.
