New pics!

Posted by – February 3, 2006

I finally got off my ass and took some pics of what I’ve done to the place in recent weeks. I had a fairly productive week but I’ve been grouchy and irritable and sort of snapping at people. I don’t know why I get moody sometimes but its one of my weeks. Probably PMS or something hormonal. My idiot tolerance is at an all time low. Every question I want to answer with “your question + google = my bliss” I think its because husband has been fairly absent so that tends to affect my mood rather dramatically. I decided last week Thursdays are my day for me since its my almost weekly knitting group might as well take the whole day and do stuff I like. Today it didn’t quite work out that way. I had a meeting at 10 and then I had to kill an hour and then I showed up at the group. I really like the group, I have no idea why I like so many older ladies I just do. One tho was a twit but c’est la vie. Anyway… as I said its been productive I built an island, did the taxes, worked on my friends store which I still need to finish. I guess and of course cue the irony here since the prevailing notion is I sit around and eat bon bons that I in some ways don’t have enough time to really enjoy any of it. My plan was to come home after knitting and work on the crafty, homemade valentines stuff for husband I am making. Maybe I’m being a whiny brat but the ink pads I got for the card were all dried up (go dollar tree!) So while I was disgruntled I moved on to the lollipop making. It was fun and I can totally see doing something similar again though I was dismayed to learn I hadn’t read carefully enough and the resulting candies were more chocolate like than hard candy. So I’m not sure its something I should mail off to the sandbox. They came out pretty cute so I think I’ll probably try. Its not like I’ll eat them otherwise. I’m not a huge sweets eater. I mean I know I’m not skinny but its not because I bake. I have candy from last Christmas I still haven’t finished. At any rate…oh yeah..so I made the candy and then rushed right along to find a recipe for sugar cookies and icing at which point I discovered that the printer ink I had purchased some time ago well for some reason something is wrong with it and it makes my printer think the other ink cartridge isn’t right for the machine. I can’t even remember if I got it at the PX or at walmart. I’ll try returning it to walmart though for a new one. I am stating publicly (thats a laugh since no but me probably reads this) that as soon as I finish this site I’m working on I am quitting smoking. I was really crabby at this point my laid back sunny disposition had had enough so I went to bed.Now of course its 1 am and I am wide awake. I think I might be sick or working on it. Tired Check, Cold like I’ve got a fever Check, slightly nauseous check. There has been a bug running around so it wouldn’t be terribly shocking. And now on to the pictures…

With enough shelving any room can look better;)

My new Island

I need a top for it but considering most islands are 3-500 dollars I quite like my 30 dollar DIY version.

    Jen:

    Wow — you have really been busy. That room looks amazing! Love the island. I’m sure that the extra workspace must be welcome.

    We’re back from Dallas (finally).

    Hope we hear from our guy soon.

    Love,

    Janet
