Sunday Happy

July 19, 2020 Colleen Stem

The mr and I just got back home from the night in the woods. Random woods camping. Never a disappointment, always a good time, and free. Free and no people. What more can you ask for?

And so my brain, as per usual after a good night of camping, is a little on the “why did we come back to civilization?” side. I am unfocused and a little tired and smell like dirt and sweat. On that note, I give you what I have from the week, which is not a lot at the moment. It know it was decent but not very eventful. We did some stuff, worked on things, moved around this and that, and ate food. I could give you more details but I don’t really have the energy to remember them so 🤷‍♀️. Then yesterday we went into the woods to hike and sleep and had us a 100% perfect time far and away from people and things.

Now we are back home because we had to come back (the mr has some work things needing to be done today). I think after I am done writing this I should jump into the shower to wash the smell the pee off my feet. Then I need to water the plants, drink lots of water, and get ready for the 100 plus degree day that is laying ahead. I don’t exactly know what I am going to be doing today but I am already pissed off just thinking about how hot I am going to be. Maybe I will just lay in the shade with the sprinkler cascading on my body or just hide away in the basement and read. You know what I do know? I know that 100 degrees is just stupid.

Internet stuff from the week.

-How to Keep Your Apartment Cool (With or Without AC) because being hot sucks.

-We should all be wearing masks already but if anyone can convince people that are still not to actually wear one, it’s this guy. Will you wear a mask if Morgan Freeman asks you to? We’re about to find out

-Bill Nye says trust in science is key to beating COVID-19 and climate change. Because science is real and opinions and uneducated bull shit is not in fact, facts. Listen to Bill.

-Are you one to just toss anything and everything that has a hint of mold? Truth be told, I have never been offset by a little mold here or there. Just be smart about it. And if it taste like mold, well then, don't eat it. Mold on Food, Explained

-How to Watch Comet Neowise’s Spectacular Show. I think I saw it last night camping. There are so many shoot stars too so I could be wrong. Either way, the sky was fucking awesome!

-When we re sheetrock the bedroom I am going to for sure going to do a built in bookshelf next my side of the bed just like the one in the picture. DESIRABLE DOZEN: COFFEE TABLE BOOKS & CHIC MAGAZINES.

-The End of Minimalism. Keeping a cluttered house has long been considered a little tacky, a little weak. But now it’s looking very wise. Interesting take on having lots of stuff, but I still hate having stuff!

-The mr and I were doing school stuff with the littles and it was a pain I the ass. And they might not be going back, or at least full time, for a while. Mayne this might be a good time to try this. The case for unschooling, because honestly I feel like the last semester was kind of bullshit and they really didn’t learn anything.

-Michelle Obama to launch podcast about relationships and health. In my mind Michelle is one of my best friend so I am really excited. Goodness I miss the Obamas. So so much.

And a few pictures from the week

Sunday Happy

February 2, 2020 Colleen Stem

You didn’t forget what today is right?

It’s Groundhog Day! Duh. A super great, super awesome, just a super super duper day. And that is all I care about in terms of super things today because super anything else is just not the kind of super I am into. Ha!

Everything this week has flown by in a blur. I feel like everyday I have been really busy running around, going to banks, DMV-ing, stores, and packaging sending places. A bit of this, a bit of that, and all the other life chores coming at me. Plus I have been getting ready to start selling my stuff at an art market so I have busy busy trying to gather my stuff, finish pieces, and make it look like I am legitimate and know a little of what I am doing. (Not an easy task.) The mr has been super busy running around doing small work projects for people all week but in between all that, he still has managed to help me out so so much. He built me a crazy rocking cool display for my rainbows, helped me with business card, and has just been a overall support for my crazy lady shelf, even when I am being an asshole. (He is the best!) And to top it all off, I have had a low grade ick that just is barely there but is there and is driving me nuts. One day my head hurts, the next my throat, and now it is my ears and throat. Grrr. But I am not going to complain too much. It could be worse.

Besides feeling slightly hectic and busy, we did manage a dinner night with my mom, Paul, and Barb. That night was memorable due to the fact that I might have accidentally, but on purpose, spilled a very large glass of water directly into the mr’s lap for reasons that had to do with carrots. He has not let me forget what I did all week but I do not regret my actions. I take my carrots very seriously. Haha. We also had the littles over for dinner and I damn near had to pry their little hands aways from the electronics they came over attached to. That was a bitch of battle and for anyone needing to know for future reference, my house is now a ZERO hand held computer apparatus space. No iPads or phones or video game shit. Only real life fun times.

I can’t think of much more then that, other then being extremely disappointed in the weather. And now the week is over.

Today is the day. Gonna be wheeling and dealing my wares. 11-3, at the art market at 2creativecommuinty in Winooski. Come on by, say hey hey hey, and check out and maybe buy some cool art!

Internet links to click and read.

-GROUNDHOG DAY 2020 GROUNDHOG DAY FORECAST, HISTORY, FOLKLORE, AND MORE. I hope he sees his shadow. I want so really freaking winter!

-That antibacterial hand shit won’t save you. FDA to Purell: Stop claiming your hand sanitizers eliminate Ebola and the flu

-Always, whenever I am out of town, especially when I am far from home, I make it a destination to check out local grocery stores. It’s so exciting! Why Grocery Stores Are Must-Visit Travel Destinations

-Turn those crumbs at the bottom of the bag into the top of your meal. I always use the crumbs of whatever to toss on top of salads or to mix into batch of cookies. I run a No waste kitchen!

-I want them all. Miniature Creatures Made of Felted Wool by Nastasya Shuljak

-Cray cray. The newest images of the sun are so mesmerizing, it’s hard to stop staring.

-For better coffee, start with fewer beans. Counter intuitive but science tells us the truth.

-These Coveralls.

A Wearable 'Meat Patch' Is Here to Curb Your Cravings for Bacon. Seriously what the fuck?

-This made me happy because libraries are awesome. And I hate going to the movies so this made so much sense. In a Happy Surprise, Americans Apparently Visit Libraries More than Movie Theaters
