Sunday Happy Bits

This has been the week of broken things. My immersion blender broke. 2 of the 4 new bowls I bought were smashed. The hand mixer broke while I was making frosting (F**CK). The steam mop is finally completely broken and the mister smashed the screen on his phone. All in a weeks time. Oh, and not broken, but the front end of my car got stuck in a muddy sink hole. It took five badass farmers to help me push it out. It was crazy, but thankfully the car and I survived. But's it cool. I can replace all that crap and my arms are getting a great workout now that I have to hand mix everything and hand wassh the floor on my hands and knees. ( I do it like a beast!) Because what I really am having a hard time with is that it is nearly April and still have most of my winter clothes out. I just want to but the boots away and get my chaco sandals out. It's getting a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

Things I tell myself to keep from losing my shit

• 20 degrees.. That't tropical compared to the -30 we were having
• I will be bitching about how hot it is in just a few short months so try to enjoy the cold now.
• Hopefully most of the mosquito population all dies this winter  and only enough  survive to be eaten by things that eat them
• Because it still so cold, its ok to spend an entire day at home in my pjs baking cookies and bread and  binge watching Kimmy Schmidt. 

See.. there is a bright side.

Here is some cool internet stuff form the week

-Love this house and will some someday have plants in every nook and crank of my home. PEEK INSIDE WORLD’S END FARM + SAIPUA PLANT SALE

-I am ready to move into a tree, if only for a little while. This one would work for me

-I looked before I read. and didn't realize what I was seeing. Behold! The Cosmos Created From The Contents Of A Kitchen

-The Most Effective Alarm Clock Ever Brews Your Morning Joe If only it came in jumbo size.

-I love/ hate this story. I get so excited for the produce that is marked down because its not perfect. If people realize how silly it is to look for "perfection in food"  then I won't get awesome stuff for cheap. Think Nobody Wants To Buy Ugly Fruits And Veggies? Think Again

And here are a few life pictures 

WHAT WHAT!!! The first sign of green that I have seen in the neighborhood. 

This little came over and hung out with me. I gave him a muffin and a bowl of "Carrot Chips" (really thinly sliced carrots) He at a few bites of the muffin but ate  all the carrots and wanted more…… I love him!

Oh the old man trash dog. His butt hair is finally starting to grow back after he chewed himself a big hot spot. I love this pattern for a driveway. 

March 29, 2011. Yeah sure we were in California, but still, we were camping outside.

COME ON SPRING!!!!And who doesn't love a pineapple, or 4? 

Have a fantastic Day!

We are looking at a high in the 30's here in VT.. WA HOO!

Bits of Happy

What the …….! . Is it really Christmas this week? I don't know where the time went. and I am feeling a bit of the holiday pressure. Every year I tell myself that I won't give in…I have nothing to stress about. Guess what, I am just at tiny bit stressed..But thats cool. I might feel the pressure, I might feel a little agitated or like someone close to me is going to end up getting punched( sorry if its you). but I aways try to stop and take in the little stuff, take in the happy.. This is why I started my bits of happy post every week. It's a way to wrap up the week and a way to remember how awesome my life is and the little things that make me happy. Wow.. maybe my next career move will be a motivational speaker. That or a window washer…. You get to look through windows without seeming like a creeper. And you know when you breathe on a window and use your finger to draw something, then it goes away but you can see it when later when there is more condensation?  I would draw pictures and leave weird words on people's windows……that would be amazing…..Anyways…….

Sylus…the house dinosaur. He has been chillin under the christmas tree as of late.  I think he is drinking the water cause it always seems empty..

Catching the ice crystals before the sun melts them away.

Early morning hike with my favorite people in the world…. and the trash dog. Yes, he has found some stink on the trail and is rolling around in it. Thats' my pup.

I finally finished this sweater! It came out so good! I made it to big so it actually is a sweater dress for now(which is amazing) and she will grow into it to wear as a sweater. I am pretty proud of myself for this one!

A pizza, cookie, and christmas movie party!!!!! We watched the Polar Express and trashed my tiny house. Good times!

A surprise purple potato.

This Yule log.…I sent a pic to my Dad and he asked if it was a real piece of wood. That's  a success right? Or does it mean that my Dad needs to get his eyes checked? '

We got to keep this one for a couple days this week. Do I need to explain why this make me happy?

I mean…. for real…..she is too much. Sometime I think I don't want to have my own kids cause I am afraid I might not love them as much as this little.

I like to eat large quantities of green stuff……This stainer is full of lovely greens from my farm share. All for me! With shredded carrots, shredded roasted beets and a big scoop of lentils……Meal of my heart.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK!

P.S.. remember not to stress too much and try to find the happy and pretty in everyday. And don't just eat a bunch of crap…eat some freaking veggies too! (See, I am motivational)
