Humdrum Notes

Yesterday morning it was positively chilly in the basement. We have a small window that we open for ventilation and all the cool air made it almost impossible to get out of bed, almost.

I ended up getting a lot of things done yesterday, primarily shopping for a few little goodies to add in with my homemade jewelry care packages and a little bit of grocery shopping too. I'll have pics to post soon showing the custom gift boxes I made from recycled wrapping paper.

I'm going to include these pictures in a slideshow round-up video (I'm going to think of a more clever title for them I swear...) But I'll put them out every 2-3 months showing a collective slideshow of crafty projects I've completed in the span of time indicated. I made a slideshow of my little felt pins as one of my first videos and it's one of my best viewed videos :)

If you haven't seen it, here it is:



I've gotten 6 packages made up, but only one of them was 100% ready to send out in the post today so that's what I did. But first I went to the gym!

I know I've mentioned before that one of the reasons why I love my gym is because of the personal televisions. And Travel Channel. Somehow watching video of places that I'd love to visit one day while getting my dose of endorphins = brain happy. The extra time at the gym also gives me a chance to get new ideas (I know that might sound weird, but I've been getting some great ideas while working out at the gym). Slowly but surely I'm coming around on it, even though the initial thought of going to the gym is like "Ick, no thanks I'll just go tomorrow ;) "

So here it is, Friday again. Thank goodness. The weekends are nice, even if they can't really be differentiated from the weekdays at the current moment. Babe has a few more days of working on this project. It's turning out pretty nicely if I do say so. He gets a good job done very quickly. It makes me proud!

So anyway! ... I've got a short list of videos to make this weekend to post next week. I've got one more video from my last recording day which is a nail tutorial of my current manicure. You know I'm trying to get in a good habit of turning most of my manicures into tutorials, because I'm doing my nails anyway so why not right?

Also I'm still thinning down my stuff. Many things are in boxes, some are is "maybe?" boxes. I do notice that I have a lot of bedsheets/towels that I don't use. I have 2 medium sized moving boxes filled with them. They make nice padding for the moves, but they're a pain to store when you don't have a closet. I can't wait to have a closet again! *sigh*

As for the news, no news as of yet. One of the prospects is supposed to call for a second interview next week or the one after. And that's the only silver lining right now. I wish life weren't so fickle. It's so hard to pin down sometimes.

Last night while I was crafting before bed, Leia and Indy went to cuddle underneath my work light together. They were both sleeping on their backs with their feet touching each other. When one would move too close to the other foot they'd both wiggle their feet back, it was so cute!

So that's it for tonight, it's already really late and Babe is making us go to the gym again tomorrow D: ick! So there is no picture of the day, maybe next time?
