I’ve mentioned my friend Lunesse and her cool business Juiceglass out here before – she creates artisan glass beads and beautiful jewelry. Right now, she has this gorgeous set of beads up for auction on JustBeads.com:
Isn’t that cool? I totally dig the big, juicy heart pendant at the center of this set of swirly, spacey beads. I could totally see this on a silver chain or a silk cord. I hope somebody snaps these babies up and turns them into a killer Valentine’s Day gift. Heck, if I had the cash, I’d bid on them myself. (After all, a girl’s gotta get her own VD swag when there’s no one around to do it for her!!)
A box of Godiva lasts just a short time, folks. Art is forever.
This has been a public service announcement from the Committee to Remind You to Get Your Girlfriend/Spouse/Sister/Mom/Yourself Something Cool This Year.

I know tomorrow most of my friends will be: 1)stuck in an airport security line, getting some “bad touch” from the freaks at TSA; 2) trapped in an ungodly jam on I-95, I-80, or I-shoulda-stayed-home; or 3) fighting with some angry suburbanite over the last good Butterball at Safeway. So, I figured I’d send out Thanksgiving wishes to you all now, before you head over the river and through the woods.
And who can say it better than Tom Hand Turkey, sharing the thoughts of so many of his brethren this holiday week:
Yeah, I’m a classy girl. And what fine work I can do with MS Paint, huh? The Sasquatch commented on his deformed feet. I just like to think of him as a very special digitally-rendered hand turkey in need of orthopedic shoes. No wonder he’s so cranky. (The turkey, that is. Not the Sasquatch.) By the way — that’s a free-drawn hand. No actual human hand was traced for that turkey. I mean, yeah, I’m certainly no delicate flower, but I swear I don’t have mutant “man hands” that look like this bird. I just have really shaky mouse skills.
Honest.
Jerry: She had man hands!Elaine: Man hands?
Jerry: The hands of a man!
But, seriously, I hope each and every one of you has a lovely Thanksgiving, no matter where you are! I am thankful for your friendship, your readership, and your continued support through my very strange life. May your holiday be peaceful, joyful, and filled with tryptophan and tasty carbs!
With every good wish for Turkey Day,
Merujo
