Little Shadow

This little guy has been wanting to join in on all the fun lately. I can't keep her away from all my side projects!


Or away from anything for that matter. I think this is the farthest away she'll stay from you...

And even then it's just because there's a window and I told her no table. (So what does she do? The counter. Don't worry we have lysol spray ready to go haha.) 

They weren't kidding at the shelter when they said she was a companion kitty! I'll tell you what though. Staying home alone until 1:00am when Austin comes home sucks. Having a little shadow around makes it so great! Even if she does try and bite my yarn while I crochet. Buddies forever!


Speaking of crocheting, I am almost done with my chunky-knit scarf! 


After that I'm on to two aprons Susan brought down the pattern for me to make. 




Austin and I have started Insanity again because we're not active outside anymore (it's gonna snow Friday here! What??) It's hard to motivate yourself. Everyone is on a diet and starting Insanity at my work, and so I was like... danggit now I have to do Insanity because you all do it and are looking so great! When I posted a Sean T. meme on facebook, my step-brother mentioned he started same day. Extra motivation between us all! Plus penguin and star stickers make everything worth doing ;)


And I need a good excuse to wear my beloved adidas pants. 


The hardest part I think for me is going to be cutting down a bit on my proportions. If I'm gonna exercise, I don't want to do all that work for nothing! One way I try to look at it (because we had a date last night at Grand Pizza) I get Pizza for lunch today too! Whoopie! 


I also have been trying to illustrate a lot to get the shop snowballing. 

Everyone needs body parts because they're hard to draw, so here's to hands!



I'm trying my very best to keep things moving along despite what's tugging at my mind lately (did I get in the program?) I'm learning moving on and doing things you want/love ultimately keep you happy no matter what it is --education, exercise, a dang pizza you want, kitties, illustrating and artwork, awesome dates with your husband...

I'm good, we're good, it's all good.

Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late....  I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.) But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here! I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints.  I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes!  I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse.    So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit.  He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...
