One of Those Great Days...

Despite getting hailed on while waiting to pick Isabel up from school it has been a great day.

First, all of the notes I have been taking on my mini-experiment in Clay's lab finally found their way into an official lab notebook today. My official lab notebook. It has my name on it. Probably it shouldn't really matter, but somehow it makes my little experiment feel a bit more professional like something my actually come of my scribblings and observations. Who knows, maybe I'll stumble onto something brilliant! The world is full of possibilities when there a blank lab notebook involved...I'm sure of it.

Second, I came home from picking Isabel up to find an amazon box leaning against my door. Who knew happiness came in a box sometimes? I ordered some books last week and they are finally here at last. Hooray! I love having a book waiting for me and I'm so excited to dig into Pandemonium as soon as I finish what I'm currently reading.

*Sarah don't go spoiling anything for me!

Third, last night at the rock shop I picked up a couple of pieces from a guy in the club who works for a mining company. He travels all over the world collecting all sorts of beautiful rocks and minerals. Here's what I got.

This is Rainforest Jaspar from Australia. Isn't it awesome? I was drawn to the mellow green color as well as the cool translucent spots in it. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it, but it will be fun trying to decide.

I also fell instantly in love with this rock. It's called Mookite and it also hails from Australia. I'm not a gold jewelry kind of person, but I can just imagine how beautiful this stone would be wrapped in gold. Honestly, I've never worn gold and have no intentions of starting now, but we'll see. I many have to make an exception unless I can up with some other way to wear this beautiful stone.

Next, I'm making Earth Day cookies with my little girl. 

What a great day!
