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?

Empty Promises/Nude Creations

I always write about projects that I've started on the blog and then promise to show you. Then they turn out terribly and I'm so embarrassed I never show you. Last time I said I was working on some graffiti inspired art. Well here it is in all it's glory. It turned out to look like really bad '80s contemporary art not even worthy of hanging in my dentist office. (Sigh, c'est la vie)


Today I went to the library and I decided to take one of my creations on a walk along the way. It is finally warm enough to wear the clothing that I've made over the cold spring. It stretched a little as I continued my day, but other than that it was great. I got 2 compliments, which is always nice.

I always feel like I'm not wearing anything, when I wear something I've made. It's as if anything that I've created can't be any better than a sheet or towel wrapped around you and people are probably thinking that I'm just wearing a bunch of fabric draped over myself. So I basically felt naked while at the library.



(So my parents are planning on putting the house up for sale and my boyfriend knew about it before I did, and I live there! (sometimes) grrrrrr)
