Oh my God, these hammering techniques are so cool! I guess my neighbor is going to hate me from now on, but the things you can do with a hammer and a sturdy metal base are amazing!
Today in a hardware Lowe's store, I got my 15 minutes of fame.
I was explaining, so passionately, to my very dear friend, how wonderful this life would become after a proper metal base purchase. I did not notice, though, that it was freaking out a couple of men shopping for their home or garden needs.
Only later, I realized that I was passionately waving by a hammer, being fully dressed up, with hair and nails done, and speaking with a bold Russian accent.
So… I feel a strong need to assure y’all that there is nothing to worry about. Not all Russians are like that. Some are MUCH worse :)
At the checkout, I got an even sweeter surprise. A woman who assisted me with the purchase complimented on my necklace. Instead of dropping the eyes down and mumbling “Oh, thanx… I made it…” with cheeks flaming, I suddenly felt brave enough to offer my business card. And everything would be as fine as it possibly could, if she did not read the phrase “Two’s Ruse”. Puzzling, I know.
“But that’s the THING!! This name has several meanings! It’s the play on words!” - I was about to blurt out.
But it was not the right time and place to go on about it…

Ahh.. tomorrow is Sunday. Isn't it marvellous? ;)
