Thanks for this one, Karen. I’ve read that unakite has pink veins, but never really saw it till now.

KarenDe-Challenge Chick says:

The Challenge Chick rundown:
First name: KarenDe (like SandraDee from the movie Greece)
Currently living in central PA, but planning my escape back to my home state of Montana
Teaching my last semester (Composition) at Penn State – and about to embark on ????? Hopefully selling jewelry will be part of it! My first jewelry party for Pandahlia is now officially scheduled for May 2 – I have to actually price and let go of my beauties
And I have to admit that you have all met my two significant others in picks: Purr Girl (Dahlia) and Pandora. The’re both adoptees from the no-kill animal shelter where I volunteer each weekend.
So that’s me: An animal loving, book and bead addict, about-to-be-ex-teacher who can’t wait to get back to Big Sky Country!

Thanks so much for sharing Karen!!!.
College English – I’m impressed. Personally, I prefer my students to be smaller than me!

NO, she just seems to suddenly leave every night!!!

I didn’t even notice your spelling – that’s how tired I am. Today was the first day back to school after Easter. so hard to go back.

On Apr 16, 2009 at 11:14 pm #
KarenDe-Challenge Chick says:

I live just outside State College, in Lemont. (Fewer noisy/drunk college students to contend with.) And I only leave when I have to tear myself away from all of you to grade papers But never fear, my dreams are always full of fresh picks!
On Apr 16, 2009 at 11:15 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:

I bet, Gem!! I worked from 10:00 to 7:00 today. Even though I have a fun job, it still gets tiring! lol…. By the way, D. Veeser, is originally from New Orleans, married, with two adult kids!!!
On Apr 16, 2009 at 11:17 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:

I like a 2 day week!!!!

Unfortunately, I do remember the 60′s. I feel really old now that some of my students have grandparents my age. And I’m now teaching the children of my former students.

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:

Gem Chick, thanks for your list, now I can update mine! I notice a lot of teachers on the list and I couldn’t help but notice that Funny Chick owns a bead shop (or works in one?) No wonder you come up with so many great picks! If you want, you can add my occupation as a cook in a personal care home in Moose Jaw. I was formerly a Deli manager in a privately owned grocery store up until about a year ago, but it was time to move on to something else besides dealing with the public.
On Apr 16, 2009 at 11:22 pm #
Anita QoG Funny Chick says:

That does’nt help!!! (Watching your ex-students grow up) When we started the bead shop it was supposed to be 2 days a week! But, we run the whole store, so we have to set up all the artist classes & do the advertising, arrange everything, & meetings & meetings!!! There are 4 of us all together!!!
On Apr 16, 2009 at 11:23 pm #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:

Done – Belly Chick – I see you have now embraced my “creapy cheat sheet” lol

I really must get to bed. I’m on easter time. FYI – I’m out on eastern Long Island in NY.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:

I can’t imagine all the work it takes to keep a shop going. with inventory, classes, etc. I don’t think I’d want a shop, but if I’m still at this in a few years, I’ll need a venue for selling my designs.
