Do you understand what this means? It's like you're a member of the corps de ballet and all of a sudden they cast you in the lead role...You guys, I'm like, The Black Swan!
I've been on Cloud-9 all the live-long day! Even at my job today at the Department Store where I work in Display, nothing and I mean nothing could get me down! Even knowing that Simon was yucking it up, touring the Stately Homes of England (whilst yours truly was slogging through the hum-drum ennui of making sure all gazillion opera-chairs from our Major Fashion Event this weekend were properly sent back to the rental company), couldn't get me down).

In other news, I made a 'test run' of trying to carve a curlicue finial for my stair railing. I haven't carved anything in years, unless you count the Thanksgiving turkey. My Grandpa once gave me a 'whittling knife' when I was a boy and I totally scared my parents because I developed a certain penchant for carving miniature pagan idols from sticks! (I was really into Easter Island at the time --don't judge me)!
This was just a test-run! I need to glue up some stock to match the thickness of the railing. But I spent only approximately fifteen or twenty minutes with this practice piece of wood and a kitchen paring knife so I think I'm golden. I really think that I can do this! I suppose there is some high-tech tool that I should have used, (but don't own), that would work better. If you guys saw the few, primitive tools I own you would either laugh, or cry!
