Wholly Guacamole is it really March? The passing of time can really mess with my brain. I swear it’s still like 1998 and I should be wearing baggy jeans with my portable CD player, listening to Hanson, on my way to soccer practice. But no. Now I am sitting here, looking at pictures of all the littles who are growing oh so fast, waiting for the coffee to be brewed so I can go on being a functioning adult and shit. And now it’s a new month with new bills and taxes are due soon so I better get on that. But hey, that is life right?

The past week. It came and it went. We were busy busy with all the normal stuff. The littles are all out of school for vacation so we saw them a good amount, had a couple sleep overs, did the usual there. We had dinner with Mom, had coffee over at Barbs, I finally took the Christmas lights down off the front porch, and now I want to rip my entire house apart, repaint, and put to all back together. (I am getting the spring cleaning bug.) I spent a lot of my time working on pieces here at home and at the studio that will be for sale soon and yes, the website is done, just not live yet. I just need to figure out the glitchy PayPal crap (I am such a slow poke), so by Wednesday, by Wednesday for sure it will be up and running?!!!

Anyway, how was your week? Did you enjoy your extra day of the year or did you not even realize that we had that extra day this month? Me, I didn’t take the day as anything extra, but I did think a lot about how when I was a little kid I wished that I was born on leap day and that those people who were born on leap day were somehow extra special. I mean, how cool would it be to have a birthday once every four years? If it were me, I would totally have the best birthday celebrations on those years. Then the other years when the day doesn’t exist, I could just pretend I don’t have a birthday and I could just hide away as usual. HA.

Today both the mr and I have a few things we need to do but then we are going to take off for a few hours, find a place to eat lunch out in the wild and try to go for a hike of some sort. I am craving solitude and trees and by dang it, I will find it. Also I think today calls for a lot of coffee because I am just want to drink all the coffee in the world,all the time. I woke up with my mouth watering just thinking about it.

Internet to brows at your leisure.

-Do you know why we leap year? Why leap years exist. Apparently shit would go crazy If we didn’t.

-Everyone and there mom either has or wants a Kitchenaid. Not going to lie, I had one for a little while but had the mr sell it. I didn't use it. But I still think they are pretty. How the KitchenAid Stand Mixer Achieved Icon Status

-Never Deep-Cleaned Your Mattress? Now Is the Time. I usually do a deep clean ever 2 months. If you have any dust allergies at all, it really is a must.

-I hate drones but I love a good aerial photo. Aerial Photographs of Vast Ocean Landscapes by Tobias Hägg Observe Earth’s Propensity for Change

-4 Surprising Reasons People Love Not Having Laundry in Their Apartments. Don’t get me wrong, I will never go back to not having a washer and dryer again, but the mr and I used to have so much fun at laundromats.

-So whats your take on this? There’s a fly in my waffle! Scientists experiment with larva fat to replace butter.

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!
