Michael convinced me to go to the dentist to have a chipped tooth repaired. I ended up with an excruciating root canal. I am in so much pain right now, my head is pounding… I wanted to mention that I didn’t wear jewelry to the dentist. I am  convinced the dentist would try to “up-sell” me on some fancy dental work if she thought I could afford it. So, here I am, the pain medicine is not working and I am dizzy with pain.

I have always felt that jewelry should be appropriate to the event. Business dress: pearls, gold, diamonds, Rolex watch. Casual: Big diamonds, colored stones, Tiffany gold Atlas watch.  Evening: BIG diamonds, no watch…I have a few pieces that I wear all the time, but I enjoy wearing different earrings and bracelets.

If you see a Discovery Store, try to stop in and look at the jewelry. Sometimes you will find an interesting piece of jewelry that some kind person has donated to a good cause. I like the idea of contributing while buying something wonderful. The ladies who work there are usually very sweet and happy to share their knowledge of  vintage jewelry.

Time for pain medication…Oh, one more thought…I was told years ago, if you wear emeralds to sleep, you will have vivid dreams. I have such vivid dreams anyway, I never really noticed a difference. I would love to hear any thoughts on stones and their interesting properties.
