Me at Judy's Seder- 2006 Me at Judy's Seder- 2006
Ok, I'm tired and also feeling some effects from the wine... that's all I say.

I'm working on an icon from this.  Robin (the lady who took the picture), kept saying that I looked so cute.  The book I have in my hands was Hebrew for non-Jews (I forget the exact title).

That is a very cute picture...that could become my favorite photo of you. :)

Man, and I'm not even sure I look good in it.

Well I do. So there. I win.

Then how come I don't win when I say similar stuff to you? :P

Cause I'm an obstinant little git with a thick skull. And because I know a gorgeous woman when I see one.

And again- how come I don't win when I say similar stuff to you?

My eyesite isn't bad. Neither is my judgement.

Because I'm a perpetual loser and it's nice when I win (if only in my own mind....)?

Biting my tongue because I know you could conceivably kick my ass. Or get someone else to do it.

Ah-Hem...

It coulda had some sort of interesting caption in it, like "how come I can't read these squiggly characters?" but....

You look great in that pic! 3/4 shots flatter us all! There should be a law or something.
D'oh! I forgot to give you one of the wallet pics we have of Charlie on Tuesday! Oof!

Nice expression!
What are you wearing around your neck? Looks interesting.....

It's a necklace that I've had for years...

It's a long quartz crystal that has a copper cage twisted around it. I think I have the process figured out, but I've not made one.

Take a circle of copper, cut 4 long strips up around the center (keep it solid and connected ) and some smaller strips in between. Take the long points and twist each one and bend them up to enclose the crystal. From one of the cut out parts of the circle make a T with really long and thin arms at the top and wind the arms around the top of the crystal/copper to keep the cage together and the wider base points up to act as the anchor for the cord. Take the smaller points, twist each, and bend them down. Twist and curl the various points up and down to make it look nice.
