Procrastination Junction, what's your function?

Trying. To write. A Maid of Honor Speech for my cousin's wedding. ACK! Hard to focus, so instead, I'm putting things in inventory, feeding tomatoes to Arrow and otherwise just stalling. Sigh. Hard to be witty, genuine, heartfelt and sentimental all in one speech!

So in the next few weeks, I should be getting a website together for the memorial jewelry I've been making. I'm really pleased about that, because I have never experienced anything like making these pieces. It means so much to be asked to create one, and it helps to keep Gonzo's spirit alive. I was happy with how Meg's ultimately turned out, though of course, neglected to get a picture of the back. I am working on one now for a sweet little kitty. I've been handing postcards and business cards out to every pet-business I can think of in the area. Here is what the postcards look like...(thanks SO MUCH to Jackie Rice of CNY Glass for designing them for me! She's amazing. And I got them through gotprint.com. They did a quick and wonderfully professional job.

I'm definitely starting to forget things about Gonzo, and getting memories blended with Arrow. I have a hard time remembering Gonzo's gait, the feel of his coat, his expressions, his bark, even the way he looked at me. It's such a weird process. It still catches me off guard sometimes-the realization that he is gone. It's nice that Carlton and Colby live with me again. I miss watching Colby and Gonzo play, though I'm starting to forget what that looked like too.

Arrow is a sweet pup, and I'm trying not to expect him to be just like Gonzo. He has his own personality and his own cute mannerisms. He's a lot taller, a lot thinner, and a lot less devoted to me. Would run away for the smallest squirrel or chipmunk. But we're still working on manners and obedience.

I suppose I should get back to this speech. Don't have much time to finish it!
