What Color is Your Heart?

Christmas Eve I didn’t get out of work until after 6:00. Other years the management let us out early, but this year we hung in there until the bitter end of the day. I felt sorry for the clean-up shift that came on after we were done; I imagine most of them were not out…
Long time, no write. Indeed, long time no write, no read, no internet involvement worth speaking of. The result is something between a hiatus and a lifestyle change. Iâve wasted way too much time just trying to decide what an appropriate analogy would be to me posting this. Is it like surfacing for air after…
My first entry of 2011 and I’m already bitching. Life as we know it continues. Things that I got for Christmas that I might be able to regift: ●4 Gorham âFestive Hollyâ votives ●Lenox âJust Jinglesâ tree ornament (which I note with amusement has âAmerican by Designâ printed on the box but âMade in Chinaâ…
Another nine spam deleted. The sense of satisfaction in blasting that stuff to kingdom come is brief, but significant. What is it about this AtMail account that attracts the spam-meisters? I use it for nothing except notifies and corresponding with other diarists. I have three other accounts I use, and none of them get this…
Actually, our cats did. Left, my two, Right, the Prof’s two. Don’t tell them. I don’t think cats have a sense of humor about this sort of thing.
It’s half-heartedly snowing outside again. The sky is silver, the air is so cold it cuts at the back of your nose like a knife, and the lighting is too bright for a day with no sun. The snow isn’t coming down in proper flakes, but instead in little shards and slivers, like tiny little…
Perhaps you’ve shared some of the magic by showing the unicorn to us? Lovely piece.

PS I liked the font you were experimenting with. I find microscopic punctuation a bit frustrating, too.
How nice that the shop keeper had a horn added for you! Either he really wanted to make a sale or he was a really nice guy.
Maybe you could wear it for a holiday picture and then have the picture around to remind you of the unicorn on a daily basis without having to wear it everyday.
that was a really nice thing for the shop owner to do. it’s a really pretty piece. thanks for the Gumby & Pali take a test visual. i’m sure the other students got a kick out that too.
Very cool story, lovely pin.
i know what you mean though about "collecting"…. i once had a few Opus penguin things because i loved Bloom County. Suddenly everyone assumed i was into penguins in general and you would not believe some of the things i ended up with, lol!
The peek into your heart overwhelms =*)
Your cherished unicorn has beautiful detail and the goodwill of the jeweler.
btw, where you ever 15?
;p
The thoughtfulness of the shopkeeper must have been captured in the piece.

I agree with Lilith. Great entry. I can barely remember being 15.
I laughed so hard when I read that people thought you collected unicorns!
I once had an aunt tell people that I collected music boxes simply because she thought that I needed to start collecting something. I think I got 6 or 7 music boxes that year and was completly confused as to why. Then its impossible not not get trapped because you don’t want to tell people that you don’t like thier gift, but you also don’t want them to keep buying you useless clutter.
Were not where!
Though where you were would have done too.
It’s wonderful that you’ve kept and treasured it for so long. I have little to remind me of good times from those years, and I would like once in a while something tangible to remind me of the girl that I was then.
If you ever do pass it on, be sure you find somebody worthy. 🙂
I wish I remembered being 15.
Your unicorn is beautiful and I can see he is very special, as he just exudes character 🙂
Treasures are special, so take care of him.
I am glad you survived 15!! I remember 15 very well, and it is a hard period in many peoples life.
Hugs
