Sunday

Blah. I can't decide if I want to try and be a human today and be somewhat productive or stay inside in my pjs under a big fluffy blanket and binge watch netflix....  Probably a bit of both (I can be productive in my pjs) And I really should return the over due library books.... oops.

 Some of the great things the internet has been showing me this week, helping me to take my mind off of things and to realize my desire to grow a pineapple.

-  Growing Your Own Pineapple Is WAY Easier Than You’d Think. We should all grow one

- I want to be a sushi roll. 10 steps to take care of a sad person

-Field of Light

-Can totally see the mr in one of these. A Rocking Chair That Knits You a Hat as You Read the Paper.

-Not a coloring book person (i prefer the sketch book) but this one looks pretty good. Edible Paradise: An Adult Coloring Book of Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables

-Unicorns are for real, science says so.

-Not that I am asking for it but A Harvard Nutritionist Gives You Permission to Drink 5 Cups of Coffee a Day

-Adopt A Beehive — Save A Beekeeper. We are up for adaption!

And I don't have any good pictures this week, just wasn't feeling it.

Have a good restful day.

Sunday Happy

t’s go time! Today is just the first of the few Thanksgiving dinners that I will be attending. (This one is my family with all the siblings and the littles.. big fun!) I made a pie (I'll post it soon) and maybe if I get to it, I’ll make some bread. (but probably not)

So big news… Tomorrow the mr and I are closing on a house.. WHAT!!! And not just another rental property. This is a bona-fide single family, little brick bungalow…. with a yard!  

It’s crazy. We have never lived without tentants, let alone a single family.It's going to be magical! And walls! Living in a 200 square foot room for the past year ash a half has really made me appreciate the merits of a good quality door. But I need to hold my horses cause we are not moving in right away. There is a bit (maybe a bit more then a bit) of work that needs to be done to the place (few walls moved, maybe the roof jacked up.. new kithen and bathrooms..etc) All fun stuff, but stuff that needs to be done. So yeah,. Crazy crazy, busy busy.

But other then that news, I gots the holidays on my mind and am already thinking of where to stick the Christams tree. I am also contemplating weather I shoud even bother sticking the snow tires on the car this year (still no snow here in vt… it’s unreal) and decided that if we don't get snow before christmas that we will have to sell the new house and just move to Alaska. 

Anyways. Are you ready for this week? Are you preplanning, pre baking, pre everything. Or are you a, do it all the day of,  kinda person?   Whatever your plans, just make sure not to stress to much and to carve (pun intended) out some time for yourself, to do you things.

Internet stuff from the week. 

-I mean, wouldn't you. Woman Knits Tiny Sweaters For Rescued Chickens To Keep Them Warm 

-Something passive amidst all the terrible new this week Kids in Canada are doing the most heartwarming thing to help the homeless prep for winter

-Got to try this. How to Make Your Caramel 100x More Exciting: Replace Cream with Fruit  

-Some of the most amazing origami I have ever see.

-And I am in love with these paintings

-I need this bear sleeping bag like now.

Sunday HAppy

Another week gone by and another week without snow, except for yesterday morning. I got to enjoy a brief ½ walk with the pup in the wee hours of the morning to see the tiny dusting that developed over night. But even that was gone by mid morning. I am bumming here. I Want SNOW!

And I know that it isn’t for another 11 day, but Thanksgiving. It’s it 11 DAYS!  That’s 10 more day to contemplate pies and sides and all the things that could be made into existence. (I spend way too much time thinking about different pie variations, it actually causes me headaches.)

So what about you? Are you feeling the slight buzz of the holiday crazy yet? Are you a planner or a procrastinator, or are you just a guest and hanging pretty with nothing to worry about? Me. I am a planner but usually deviate from said plan and do something completely on the fly. What can I say; I have an overactive mind and am a bit indecisive about things. But the little bit of buzz.... that’s part of the fun. Just as long as a little crazy doesn’t turn into a lot of crazy, then I am good.

And as for my Sunday plans, I think the mr, the pup, and I are going to pack up and head for higher ground to get us some snow, although I should be doing so many things around here. Hum.. Chores or snow, we shall see!

Hope you are where you are having a relaxing fun day!

Sunday(Monday) Happy

The mr and I were in NYC the past few days so you know, no time to share. Now that I am home I am beat ass tired and have little in that way of anything intelligent or coherent to say.

Sunday Happy

Hey there people! How's it going? Good right.. cause it's SUNDAY!

Ok, so I know that some people don't like sundays, but me, it's my day. The one day of the week that I try to do as little crap as possible and relax, It also means the house is spotless, the fridge is stocked, (so so so stocked..a farm share and garden explosion!) and the sheets have been changed on the bed…. I LOVE clean sheets!  

This past week was for sure one of those dragging, nagging, just want it to be over type of weeks. Why? I am not exactly sure. We have  had us some good time; a back to school dinner, banana ice cream cake, garden time and a few playground trips. But I think I am just feeling the pull towards fall and am just clicking the days away until  we have the crisp cold days full of apple, pumpkins, cozy sweaters, and colorful leaves. Call me crazy, but I can't wait for the warm weather to GO AWAY!

Anyway,  today I am going to relax a bit. Maybe I'll finish my book, restart my knitting (I have knitted about 3 hats and keep pulling them apart because I don't end up liking them.. I have pattern commitment issues) or do a little more painting. (on canvas, not walls).  I hope to take the mr and the pup for a little hike and of course, drink a much coffee as my heart can handle. 

How about you? Got any plans for the day? 

Note about picture above…. Saw the stuffed bear on a walk with the pup.. He went BATSHIT when he saw it. I don't know how I even managed to take a picture cause he was barking like an ass at the thing…. Thats my dog.

Here is internet stuff from the week
