Happy Meme - Day 6

[cat_77]

1. Post about something that made you happy today.
2. Repeat for eight days.
3. Tag eight people to do the same. Plus whomever wants to play too :)

In a day filled with headaches, hyperactive children, and bills, it's hard to come up with happy thoughts.

Let's see... How about the fact that, while paying bills, I discovered my "bonus" from work has been posted? Boss had not been sure if it would hit this week or with the next check. Not much, but better than nothing, especially when she "accidentally" showed me some people got nothing.

Oh, and I'm looking into something called an "Unsecured Personal Line of Credit" via The Company that Owns My Soul to help pay off a credit card. Apparently we get decent deals as employees of The Company. Helluva lot better deals than what this particular card (not from The Company) offers.

Oh, and I found a new place online with pretty shiny sparkly thingies of the Pagan variety. www.goddessgift.net. Very tempting, both for myself and gifts to others.

*sighs at the jewelry* I SO want to learn metal smithing. One of these days... one of these days...

I was lucky enough to be able to do some casting (just silver and nickle-silver) back in high school. You can get some beautiful results with the lost wax method we used, but need far more equipment than most people have available at home.

Kind of curious to see if those little soldering guns sold at craft stores can work as well as the blow torches we used - probably need smaller pieces, but might be easier to control that way. No idea where I would get the metal from though.

Things you make always have so much more meaning than things you buy - and always have a story to go along with them. :)
