I Hate Waiting

So I waited for the tax return. And it finally came last Friday - at least part of it - who knows when, or if, NYS will ever issue any money ever again for anything. So I pushed the button to order our new family camera and a whole buncha lotta beads.
Really. A LOT of beads.
I think my sweet Beorn Beorning was a bit nonplussed when he discovered just how very many beads I've ordered.
Really, though. It is May and I have exercised a great deal of restraint in the bead buying area since December and have put a really huge chunk - most months almost 100% - of my business income from late November on into household expenses.
And really - how exciting are pink and aqua daisies when I could be making pink and aqua and orange and red and purple and blue and yellow and . . .
You get the picture.
So Monday morning, the UPS man plops a package on the porch.
No way! That was too fast! Is it beads???
No. Just a pile of Purple Potatoes. Which are pretty. And more nutritious than the normal garden variety. And they have iridescent skin (for real - when washed they sparkle in a very subdued 1970's metal flake sorta way.) And Maxx will eat them. And they make the Awesomest mashed potatoes - all purpley blue through and through. And they will grow wonderfully in our garden this year.
But they ain't beads and I hate waiting.
(We get our Purple Potatos from the Maine Potato Lady. She's really cool. These are Purple Majesty
I'll post photos of beads next week.)
