Pokestop of the (yester)day

Pokestop of the day

Today in adorable cat…

Chicken enchiladas in the oven. Time to park and do a lap of the internet.

Finally turning some old bananas into muffins. Secondary benefit... the oven has my living room pleasantly warm. (No, the oven is not in the living room. The layout is somewhat open concept.)

Pokestop of the day

Trying to declutter my craft room. It's... demoralizing. I'm old and have too much shit.

Finished a Diamond art kit I got from Michaels last month.

There's a liiiiight.... over at the Frankenstein place.

The yarn shop that went out of business last year reopened for a one week “last hurrah”. Some is DMC of course when they threw up the Bat Signal, I had to go!

New year, new me? Fuck no. Still on my same old bullshit.

Pokestop of the day

The case and #9 fine needle that I spent my birthday money on was delivered. So I had to pull out all the other needles and fill it up. Now I don’t need to wonder which one is what size.

And the roast beast is served.

Happy New Year!

Pokestop of…. Yesterday.

Merry Christmas from Gracie ‘n me!

Birthday sushi

Finally got this framed and up. There’s a whole diatribe, but suffice it to say… manufacturers need to put the design dimensions in big font and NOT the size of the entire canvas. Also, if something comes bound in a big ribbon. KEEP IT! You never know years later when it’s the exact thing you need.

I am finally finished with my holiday gift shopping. *flop*

Pokestop of the day

I have managed to scrape up a micron of holiday cheer.

Some days I feel like a giant "pick me girl".

Went to the local nursery to get a tree. Holiday decorations were half off so this cardinal came home with me too.

Trees done. Gnomes next.

We're truly living in the future when I can pull up my ring doorbell camera from bed just to see how much snow was on the ground.

Paint me like your fancy French girls!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What I NEED to do today... bake pies. Make stuffing. Make Ina Garten's Cranberry Conserve. (What I am ACTUALLY DOING... sitting on my ass wandering through the internet) www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-...

Out of yard waste bags so no more leaf vacuuming for the day. Just trying to get up the thicker areas, still leaving some to decompose over the winter. Got 75% of the yard done. Since it's only colder out from now on, I may call it for the year. Or I may make a Menards run for another pack of bags.

Snowman finished. Now for a forest or sparkletrees.

Whoops. Started some tea steep ing and got distracted by other things. That was half an hour ago. Don't think I'll be drinking it.

Mongo only pawn in great game of life.

Another one finished. Finding a frame the right size at a decent price might be hard. (… not gonna put a $7 diamond art piece in and expensive frame!)

Happy Halloween everyone!

The one piece of Halloween decor that I finished and hung up this year. Diamond art kit from the evil internet website.

‘Nanna bread. One with walnuts and one without.

Last night I went out after dark so that I could close the lid to the grill, I'd made grilled burgers for dinner. As I was reaching for the handle, I heard *chingchingching*. Then the possum came sauntering across the top of the chain link fence behind the grill, stopped, and looked back at me.

This week’s episode of Wild Kingdom…

At yoga, the teacher said that we would need a chair and strap tonight. I asked “Do you need to know my safe word?” Everyone laughed.

Someone is enjoying a basket of warm folded laundry.

Finished! Next one…

Felt good to be back on the mat tonight.

Someone is helping me run the event boss.

Hit the Covid household trifecta. First me. Then the husband. Now the kid.

I must feel better. I actually got dressed today.

Covid sucks. Thankfully it seems to be mild so far. Hopefully I'm on the downhill side.
