Cozy non-pants.  Best invention ever.

These bad boys are making my day right now!  😃

I cannot even tell you all how great my kid smells right now.

I cannot even tell you all how great my kid smells right now. His shower gel / lotion /deodorant combo is perfect. It's all random shit, but it works. I wish you could just smell him.

Look. Booka has the farts tonight. Boo has some serious farts. But Shadow is making this room smell GREAT. 😳

Yay for having time to do things! 😃

I did the rays of holo with a stamping plate, but you could easily do this with tape.  I really need to bust out the tape and see what I can come up with.  It's been a while!

Notice my sad little thumb is cropped out.  He might not make it into the next few photos.  I filed all of my nails down a bit so he wouldn't feel too shitty, but he's seriously pitiful anyway.  LMAO

Have you hugged your trees lately?

Have you hugged your trees lately?

I haven't.  I don't think I've hugged them all year.  🙁

I will fix that tomorrow.  😃

I've been feeling kind of "blegh" the last couple of days.

I've been feeling kind of "blegh" the last couple of days.  I think it's PMS, but it could be anything.  I spent days eating chocolate cake with ice cream and dark chocolate sauce on it.  I don't normally eat THAT MUCH junk food, but I just wanted it, so I ate it.  Oh well.  No regrets.  It was delicious!

My sleeping schedule has been all messed up, too.  That ALWAYS happens to us over the holidays.  Anytime I don't have somewhere to be, me, the kid, and Shaun all end up hanging out all night and going to bed at like, 6 or 7 in the morning.  I mean, as the (clearly) responsible adult that I am you'd think I would know better and not do that, but honestly, it is pure freedom and I treasure my time with no schedules or places to be - especially after having so much to do this past year.

Oddly enough, I am REALLY missing school and looking forward to going back.  As much as I treasure my free time I am so anxious to make progress towards my future that it is really hard to sit here and do nothing.  I know I need the rest; I just super suck at relaxing.  It is a skill that I need to perfect.  LOL

Anyway.  That was my week.  Late nights.  Binge-sleeping.  Lots of junk food.  I've already laid off the sweets, so I guess I'm trying to get right now. Wish me luck.  I work tomorrow, but I'm off the rest of the week, so I have no idea how that will go.  Maybe I'll behave.  We'll see.

I guess everyone hates my favorite winter jacket...

I guess everyone hates my favorite winter jacket because I got THREE new ones over the holiday.  No complaints, but HINT TAKEN.  Doesn't mean I'm not gonna still wear it, though.  😛

[My favorite coat is the one I have to tape shut. Has holes in it from puppies. Stained. I love that damn thing.]

I feel pretty accomplished.

I feel pretty accomplished.  Despite the fact that I am exhausted (woo, holidays!), I finished a necklace for one of my best friends.  Might not seem like much, but I made the stone in August of 2014... so it's been over a year that I've been "working on it."  LOL

One of the major hold-ups was the chain - metal bothers her skin, so I had to do something different from my usual for her.  I ended up grabbing several colors of these rubber cord things and she picked the purple / gray one.  I had gray, a blue / gray, and also black, but not surprisingly, she chose the more odd color.  This stone does include a purple / pink shimmery polish in it, but it doesn't show in every light.  The cording is also weird because the purple in it doesn't always show.  I got a few pics in different lighting to try to show that.

All in all I think it kind of oddly works together.  I probably would have put it on the gray or black if it was my choice, but I'm boring and Laurel is not, so that's ok.  As long as she likes it I'm totally happy, too.  😃

So that's one down - I have one more to go!  I'm hoping to finish Emily's in the next few days.  I'm trying to complete what projects I can before school starts back!  😃
