Jules,

Thank you for enlightening me to NASA TV. I will show it to Hubs.

I too, have been on a creative streak. It is the most comforting thing I can do when I am worried. God redirects my mind over to the CREATIVE side. Since God is THE CREATOR I guess he is saying "This is what works for me Susie". My front porch looks like a garden gift center, the dinning room table is 'full' of totems and cake plates, my den floor is a glass-globbed mess, the kitchen table is covered with other projects, and the back porch table is full of tools and paints. Oh yeah, my laundry is not done, there are dishes in the sink, the dogs need a bath, my car inspection sticker is expired, I have 2" of grey roots showing, and the fridge is begging me for groceries. So I have to jump up and do some double-time house & shopping stuff. I will try and post pictures of my new items later. I did not get to look at your shutterfly pics yet.

Last night DH yelled, "Look at that!!" and, surprisingly, I did look out the window to see something falling to the earth. Don't know if it landed because there are mountains in the distance, and it was night time. It didn't look like a meteor and I've yet to read any news of what it was, but me & DH think it was space junk. Seemed to have sparky bits shooting from the end. HAHA that sounds a bit rude.

I like all that space stuff, too. I check Lubos Motl's blog site every so often and happened to catch the Mars robot thingy landing... like 10 minutes before it landed so just in time! That was sooooo cool!!! Didn't know about the NASA TV site. Thanks for the link.

Susie, you are welcome. Hopefully you are watching right now becaue they are getting ready to deploy the last of the solar arrays. They are just waiting for sunlight (they go orbital sunrise to sunset every 45 minutes!
Hopefully you were able to get all the mundane housefuntioning things done yesterday! :-) I love to be creative too!

Cait,
You reminded me of an email that someone sent me awhile back about what they think meteors could be. Would you like me to send it to you? It's really funny!

Love, Jules

I know I know y'all are gonna shoot me cause I HAD promised. Well, it will be delayed about a day or two. I've been so busy with other things besides making totems....They are made, but their posts are not painted---AND it rained and got cold last nigth. It's been very windy and cold here all day long. SO, for the chance to make the paint dry correctly I am waiting......
Love, Jules

Okie dokie y'all--I finally got 'er done---well, the totems. I have the flowers done but they still need their backs glued... I found a great spot to photograph each one--and each now has it's designated "stick" to display them in a yard. :-) AH, it feels so good to have them done. When I get them TOTALLY together I will have 13 of them stockpiled. Now, on to fine tuning all my drip system and timers and all connections.....
Go see the totems on my webpage (scroll down past the videos to the 3/26 album and click underneath the pictures posted to see all of them!). Oh in the photos I posted a picture of my "office" where the computer is and our desk. Yep, it's a catch all but we get a lot of work done there! Also is a picture of my workstation for my totems (kitchen counter). Last Saturday my hubby Todd planned a (we never really named it) "Being a Man" night with some older men we know from church for Sean since he just turned 16. I still don't know what all was said since Nathan and I hightailed it out of there so they could have their "guy" time.
Love, Jules
