The reluctance to put away childish things may be a requirement of genius. ~ Rebecca Pepper Sinkler

Night

I'm running on coffee fumes and pure stubbornness.  Two 12 hour shifts in a row and I'm wiped.

I'd rather be chilling with Atticus on the floor. 

Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o'clock is a scoundrel. ~ Samuel Johnson

Tied up with string

I love getting packages.  Even if I'm the one who paid for the contents...


From etsy.  A seller had their entire stock of fabric on sale.  The top is Joel Dewberry.  Which I know means nothing to most of you.  To me he means $10+ a yard. 



The next two are Michael Miller.  Also, $10+/yard.  No, I didn't pay that.

Maybe this will help to inspire.  I dunno.  I already  missed my nephews birthday yesterday.  Haven't even opened the closet to look at my sewing machine yet.

I'm tired and out of sorts from my 12 hour shift yesterday.  Nothing like starting out your week with overtime.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. ~ Vincent Van Gogh

TMI

So, I hate the mall.  I hate driving there, I hate parking, I hate the crowds, I hate the teens that invariably are swarming outside of EVERY store I want to enter.  I planned to go today though, because I really really need a 2011 calendar.  I can't get started on birthday presents without one.  Don't ask, thats just how it is. 

So anyways, I got up today, showered, dressed, put on my shoes, sweatshirt, got a stomach cramp, then promptly threw up. 

Random.  And TMI, I know.  However, I took it as a sign that I wasn't to go to the mall today. 

So instead I curled up with Atticus and resumed my watching of my Dead Like Me marathon, all 29 episodes of which I found on Hulu. 

And to answer your next question - I'm fine.  I didn't feel sick 5 minutes before I threw up, and haven't felt sick since. 

Since I haven't really done anything else of note, here's a picture of pizza I made yesterday.  Not bad for my first attempt.   I even made the dough.  And to answer your next question - there's BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce on it, thats why the edges are super dark.  Well, BBQ sauce and burnt cheese. 

You were born an original. Don't die a copy. ~ John Mason

The last one

I figured the last post of the year shouldn't be me lamenting how I've gotten nothing done.  Not that I really have anything brilliant or witty to say on this post, nothing really to say at all.

Because it should extend beyond ANY season....

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. ~ Brooks Atkinson

Motivation

I am horribly unmotivated....so far my weekend has been full of sleep, dog walks, and naps. 

The only thing I did today was in the kitchen....

Oatmeal apple biscuits.  Atticus isn't a fan.

And cheese biscuits.  Which Atticus kept trying to steal off the counter.

I also have chicken and beer in the crockpot (at the suggestion of a co-worker).  I'm not sure how it'll taste, but my apartment smells pretty good.

Now the trick is staying up long enough to eat it.  

I live my daydreams in music. ~ Albert Einstein

Back to the grind

I guess its back to normal life...

"I never met a pearl quite like you
who could shimmer and rot at the same time through
there's never been a better time than this
To bite the hand of the frost bitten eminence."
