Remember the days when I used to blog every single day?
Sometimes, if you were lucky (heh), twice a day if I had something I just HAD to tell you?
It was only last night that I realised that I hadn’t even opened Windows Writer for almost a week (I had the last few posts scheduled in) and my facebook page is a bit quieter than usual.
If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you might not know that this happened…
Temptation Tattoo (no affiliation) announced a $50 offer last weekend and I took advantage of it to get a quote tattooed on my wrist. I’ve been looking for THE perfect quote for a while and when I saw this one, I knew it was it. John has the most steadiest hand ever.
Oh, and recognise the font?
“You are the architect of your life”.
I don’t know if I was experiencing a bit of a mid-life crisis recently but I had become very unhappy with many aspects of my life. This quote not only is relevant to how I choose to live my life but it is relevant to my weight loss journey as well.
My life will be what I make of it.
Remember when I said that I wouldn’t need an “official” Smash Book?
I don’t know why I thought that I could convince myself that it was the same. Heh. And I have a bunch of enabling friends who were quite *ahem* helpful when it came to my purchases. Which led to me spending an afternoon smashing. Opposed to getting smashed.
Not only did I cave with the Smash Book but I’ve been sucked in by Washi Tape. I don’t know why I need all the Washi but I do. And I’m thinking it won’t take long to Washi all the things.
Washi this space. I mean, watch this space.
There also has been some necklace making. Damn you, Pinterest.
I made me a ribbon washer necklace which turned out quite nice if I do say so myself. And then I decided to get a little more creative and cover some washers and add some rings. Like or no?
The puppy who isn’t so puppy sized anymore decided that while her humans were so occupied with their crafts, she would take advantage and make herself comfortable on the lounge. She KNOWS she’s not allowed up there and when I turned around, she refused to look at me. Like, if she can’t see me, I can’t see her.
The hubster had me slaving away at the computer over the past week because of this…
He’s discovered a gap in the market for unique reptile hides and has honed in. Which means that I have been running his One of a Kind Hides facebook page, taking orders and charming people with my charm while my house fills up with this….
…that in turn means that a stack of these which is REALLY exciting! His hides are already being sent to Queensland and Perth. Fly, my little pretties!
But, while Bill is busy carving his creations, it means that he’s currently no longer my in house chef. So I have been cooking dinner this past week, much to the kids dismay. Although I had a win when I cooked Stay at Home Mum’s Baked Sour Cream Chicken and A Very Blended Family’s apple crumble.
But my butternut pumpkin soup was not so much of a win. With the kids. WE thought it was delicious.
So that’s a little of what’s been going on around here lately.
I’m waiting on my workbooks to be delivered for the new course that I’ve enrolled in – Cert II in Business – which I’m really looking forward to starting. Oh, and I graduate from that pain in the ass course on Thursday and will receive my certificate. Woot!
I smell change in the air. x
