Last night, I woke up to an earthquake???  I couldn’t believe it.  My bed was shaking, and I just knew that Nick was playing a joke on me… except no one was there!  I immediately jumped out of bed to see what was going on.  Everyone was up, wondering the same thing.  We all thought it felt like an earthquake, but we weren’t sure, since we were in Indiana!  After turning on the news, they were questioning the same thing.  Sure enough, they later confirmed that there had been a 5.2-magnitude earthquake!  It would have been nothing in California, but in Indiana, now that’s something to talk about!

Update:  We just had an after shock!!!  This is wild!  I couldn’t believe that there was an earthquake in Indiana, let alone an after shock!  Indiana is nuts… when I was here in January, there was a huge flood, and the National Guard came to evacuate me!  What other wild weather will mother nature bring???

Attention Ladies, it’s finally happened!!!  What an exciting day!!!  I have been hoping for Nick to design a women’s line since we first started BlumLux.  I’ve been dropping hints, even sketching out my wish list, but Nick has continued to just create men’s pieces. 

He definitely surprised me today… by unveiling the first women’s necklace!  Let me tell you, it is awesome!  I CAN’T wait to be wearing it!!!  Finally!!!  We get calls and emails every day for women’s pieces with the BlumLux look… this is going to make JCK so exciting!  Look for the pieces to be on the website in June!

I’m officially going crazy!  I have Sprint wireless service, and I have been patiently waiting for them to come out with their version of the Blackberry Curve.  I continue to stay with Sprint because I’m happy with their service, and basically, I don’t want to take the time and money to switch.  However, I don’t understand why it takes Sprint soooo long to come out with new phones!  Especially as I watch Nick get the latest and greatest phone every few months… he has AT&T.

Every few weeks, I’ll check the Sprint website for the Curve.  It hasn’t been that big of a deal until a forum on crackberry.com posted that the Curve will be available to Sprint customers on April 17.  I have seriously been counting down the days for the last two weeks as if it were Christmas!  Now, it’s finally the big day, and the date has apparently been pushed back!  Ugh!  So, now I’ve become this crazy person checking the blogs every hour with ppl’s comments on the latest gossip!  Figure it out Sprint!

I still can’t believe it!!!  I watched the finale of NBC’s The Biggest Loser last night in amazement!  Ali Vincent was named the winner, but above all, she looks amazing!!!  It’s nuts!  She lost 120 pounds in 4.5 months!!!  I didn’t even think that was possible.  Talk about motivation!  Congrats Ali!!!

The brace is gone!!!  I am so pumped!  This is the first time in four months that I haven’t had a cast or a brace on my arm!  I still have to have physical therapy twice a week to regain motion, but it’s so exciting to be able to wear normal shirts again… and of course jewelry!

While I was in Louisville, for my almost weekly visit to the Louisville Arm and Hand, I met up with my college buddy Diane.  We had lunch downtown at Makers Mark Tavern on Fourth Street.  I would not recommend it.  The atmosphere was fun, and the service was very good.  However, the food was nothing special… and there was no one there!  I guess that should have been a red flag!  Maybe it would be better at night.

Michael Johns gone???  I’m so upset!  The voters got it wrong!  I don’t know if I’ll even watch the rest of the season!  I like the other contestants, but Michael was by far my favorite.  I thought for sure that he was going to win!  I hope he’ll end up like Chris Daughtry and make it on his own without Idol.  I don’t get it… he has a great voice, style, and of course he looks good too!  …and for once, I didn’t agree with Simon…  I liked his song choice!
