ick

today there is a wee beastie demon camping out on my shoulder whispering horrific taunts in my ear. it is almost, but not quite drowning out my own taunty-taunts that are swirling about my head. sigh. i suppose this is what happens when there is a casa to clean and purge, a deadline looming over your head and a night where you slept most fitfully. double sigh.

at least, i am not alone...(read her confession. that is what i'm talkin' 'bout yo...though to be honest there is a bit more muck lurking about in my brain. aack.

quick, look at the pretty picture and think happy thoughts...

time for tea

have you seen the 365 Days of MUG shots group? if it is too much of a commitment, try the Cup of the Day group. Mugs of hot beverages always make me smile!

an oridnary day

today is quite extraordinary in its ordinary-ness. the mister is home sick from work and i've been glued glued glued to the computer tippy typing out all sorts of text. methinks my eyes have crossed.there was a morning break to run and meet stacey at the goodwill for some scheming of turning something nifty into something even niftier. after that we had to get coffee..but of course. and then once home, i washed up a sinkful of thrifted dishes and dragged the mister out to glendale for a very important errand for a very important someone's birthday next week. (ssshhhhhh) after which of course we needed, needed, needed a vanilla malt (and a jump).once home, the mister went back to reading and costume making. i went back to tippy typing and maybe a bit of a nap was involved. i snored myself away and dragged my sleepy self into the tiny kitchen where i chopped up some taters for dinner. roasted taters with turmeric...soo good!back to tippy typing while the mister finishes cooking up our dinner (which i have just been informed is ready) with a secret break to flickr and email and a blog read or two. and that is it. a very ordinary day.

gonna go eat...bbq tofu sandwiches with garden fresh lettuce and some roasted taters. the evening is chilly and i am soooo happy to be wearing long sleeves. yay for fall!

the week in review: sep 28-oct 4

last week there was...baking, reading, scheming, writing, project making and netflixing in between. the weekend consisted of hiking, gardening, errands, costume making, and more reading. we also trekked on out to littlerock to hit up charlie brown farms (which is just as chaotic as its website) for some bbq that managed to keep us full until lunch the next day. the next day we trekked out for costume accoutrements and curry at india sweets ans spices (after all that bbq, we filled our meat quota for the week and needed some vegetarian fare.) the weather has FINALLY turned and it is almost cool enough for long sleeves. i am sooo excited. this week i need need need to finish up a major deadline, dive back into the purge and photograph projects and etsy goodies.

today i am taking my big brother thrift shopping and am gidddy, i tell ya. i love that guy! tonight we celebrate the lucy-goose's ninth birthday. nine? when did that happen? laterthis week, if all goes well, there may be a movie day with stacey and there will be a trek up to visit with family for the weekend. i am sooo happy jeppy deighted that it is october!
