This took me 5 hours. I was in the garage for 6, but took an hour off to speak with my best friend in San Fran. I get to see her in one week, and we are mucho excited. Shopping, margaritas, tide pools, etc. That's why I must kick ass on this mosaic as much as possible before I leave town.
Glass, as I'm sure everyone is aware, is dangerous. For me, I am always slicing my fingers when pressing the glass in to the grinder. I know there are these weird thumb and finger protectors I can buy online, but I worry that I won't be able to feel the glass. That is really important since I take off glass in teeny increments to get it to fit where I want. However, my fingers are so cut up, that I might want to try them out, since typing is really painful right now.
Since I knew today would be a marathon session, I chose to listen to my "favorite" songs on random. Yes, I star the songs on my iPod just for this reason. My favorite playlist plays only 5-starred songs. This is what I listened to, in order played, with the one hour I was on the phone with Frijole not included.

That was some good listening for all that back-breaking work. I will sleep long and hard tonight. Tomorrow The Boy and I will visit some places looking at hardwood floor options. Probably go get some lunch, then back to slicing up various parts of my hands. I'm really enjoying this palm cut on my left hand right now.
