Sad Love

I'm not sad...
Brian has been out of town for the past few days on vacation.  I had to stay home and work.  That's enough to make anyone crabby. To say the least I've found myself highly irritable.  I don't think it's because I'm jealous I think it's just because I don't get to see him as much as I like!  Well here are the things that make me feel better...



There is something about Jif Creamy Peanut butter that just soothes the soul.  It has been my go to food for when I'm feeling homesick, lonely, or disappointed.


What goes best with peanut butter?...Diet Coke.  It may not really go together but man oh man.  If I'm crabby just bring me one of these and I instantly lighten up.  I'll feel better.  It's an amazing thing.


Not only is this movie the ultimate chick flick with strong leading female roles, Christian Bale, and an amazingly emotional score but it gives you a reason to cry, if you needed to get that out.  It's also an excuse to get a little Christmas into your life when it's out of season.  Even though this isn't a Christmas movie at all it still has adorable Christmas scenes. 

These three actors also give a great distraction to my lonely days.  I may have watched three of the Harry Potter movies in the last three days.  It's not my fault that ABCfamily was having a Harry Potter weekend right when I needed it.

Doing a craft project is the perfect distraction when you need one.  If it's big enough, time will move by faster than you want it too!  Too bad I already sewed all the wedding bunting that I had.  What  should I do for the next few days?

This picture came from the most adorable crochet blogger on the north side of the hemisphere; Attic 24.

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with String

When Where the Wild Things Are came out in theaters there was this fort building competition. I did not find out about it until after it was over, when my favorite blogger built one with her friends.

So here is mine....

I couldn't resist a portrait of Brownie; my best friend of 23 years.
