Walked over to the Farmer's Market after work...

Walked over to the Farmer's Market after work to see mom and Cade (and Keith!). Stayed until it was over and helped them pack up. On the way back across the street to work me and Cade scavenged some road candy. We both have full pockets! 😃 (There was a parade for Oxford's homecoming, so there was candy in the streets.) All in all, it was a good night. Kind of nice to not be home making stuff or doing chores for once. 🙂

Also, Happy Birthday, Mom! ❤🙂

I have been Pinterest-ing like a mofo.

I have been Pinterest-ing like a mofo.  I think I have to walk away from the computer now.  Literally, my arm hurts.  LOL

So for those of you who didn't know (and I'm betting that's most of you because I haven't really announced it before now), Polish All the Things is getting a make-over.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the meme, but more people like my jewelry than I ever thought would, so I started feeling like maybe this is getting more serious than I thought, and maybe I should have a more original look.  I do so love it when people recognize the meme and say "Oh, I'm a fan of Hyperbole and a Half, too!"  I think that's great and it's always nice to meet someone who GETS that, but I'm not really trying to freeload off of her recognition.  Plus, there are like, ZERO high-res meme photos, so that's not so great for business cards and banners and the like.  LOL

So, I've got an amazing new logo that I will upload soon.  That thing was a group effort.  LOL  There was one element I knew I wanted, then Shaun threw in an idea I could NOT pass up, and then my graphic design guy put it together in a magical sort of way.  I can't wait to show it to you.  If you are just too curious, check out the new profile pic on my Polish All The Things page for a little preview.  😃

Anyway, I guess that doesn't have much to do with Pinterest except that in lieu of all of this making-over stuff, I thought I should get out there more socially.  SO, I just updated a brand new Pinterest COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY, as well as added some stuff to my Etsy.  I also have a new Twitter, AND I will be working on Instagram, but not tonight.  I got new jewelry parts in, so it's time to play with that instead.

If you need to follow me any of those places, check my Polish page.  My URL's and all that jazz are over there.  ❤

It's really nice outside right now.

It's really nice outside right now.  Feels very Fall.  There's a chill in the air and it's windy.  Or maybe that's just death.  I hope it's not death.

I just heard a squeaking outside so went to investigate.  I'm afraid someone took one of my little outdoor rat buddies.  🙁

Had some super cheesy pizza last night.

Had some super cheesy pizza last night.  That was a bad idea.  It made me sick as hell.  Blegh.

Finally ok to head to work.  Woo.

I uploaded some of my better photos of the newer stuff on my nail page, Polish All the Things.  Go check it out.  And like my page if you haven't.  I will have my new stuffs at the Chili Cookoff this weekend.  🙂

Not my best photos, but...

Not my best photos, but I don't feel like cropping the individual shots and uploading right now.  It's a housework day and I gotta get some stuff done before I lose my motivation.

So excited that I was finally able to set some of my water marbled stones.  😃

The pink and black ring on the left... that one might be mine.  I don't know why I like it so much.  I'm not usually a pink person, but that one just makes me happy.

I haven't been talking to the Internet much.

I haven't been talking to the Internet much.  Still working my butt off getting ready for OxfordFest.

My large order of jewelry findings FINALLY shipped, so I will have that next week.  All of the stone painting I have been doing will finally pay off.  😃  Maybe all of you people who picked water marbled stones will finally get your jewelry.  🙂  I am pretty excited.

I am also excited that I don't have to wake up super early on Saturday.  I really came to enjoy doing the markets with my mom and brother, but I am NOT a morning person.  It was usually easier for me to not sleep at all than to get up that early.  Blegh.

We are doing the Chili Cookoff on Cheaha the 27th.  That sounds like a lot of fun.  I bet most of my friends will be at PetFest, but that's ok.  I thought about trying to do PetFest, but I decided against it.  I (purposefully) don't foster much these days, so I think I would feel out of place.  It's hard to go around the rescue crowd of people and not feel inspired to help.  But it's really not in my best interest right now.  I've got a full house.  Not that I would look the other way if I saw a creature in need, but you know. I am not gonna go and look for one.

Well, I think it's time I got in bed.  My sleeping schedule has been wayyy off... I'm not usually one to have trouble sleeping, but these days, I have a hard time falling asleep.  Then I sleep for 4 stinking short little hours, wake up and that's it.  Yuck.  I actually feel drowsy right now, so I think I am gonna take advantage of that.  Goodnight, people of the Internet.  ❤

I am having a good day.

I am having a good day. So excited I could barf. 😃
