I Like:

Love Jungle Large Tote by Betseyville Handbags

New Sunglasses.

Never thought of myself as one that loves sunglasses, but have noticed about 10 pair in various shapes, sizes and colors in my car, bag, desk....  Then I fell in love with a paid of Betsey Johnson Sunglasses and they were half price and I bought them (a month or so ago).  I LOVE them.  So much fun.  So Glam.  So Luxe.  So Fierce.

New Fantastic Rotary Cutter by Dritz

Dritz Rotary Cutter 45mm and Replacement Blade
Cutting tool with replacement blade.

This rotary cutter has a 45mm size blade with a safety lock. It has a cushion handle. The blade is pressure sensitive. The blade is Tungsten-carbon steel, double-honed for maximum sharpness. This tool can cut single or multiple layers of fabric in any direction. You can select a light or heavy duty cut by moving the lock switch left or right. When not using the cutter it is important to make sure the blade is in a locked position. The blade is very sharp so make sure your worktable is prepared or use a cutting mat. Note that once unlocked the blade engages automatically when pressure is applied.

Raining

I guess we need the rain. We will be ready for the winter -- although farmers almanac says we will have a wet winter. Nice lazy day to get some rest.

My eye is doing better from the fall. So that's good.

Send good thoughts to my friend Dana in Oklahoma City area - she's having brain surgery next week. She has to have part of her skull removed. I might try to get up there and see her.

Remember to fall back this Sunday morning! One extra hour to sleep or do as you please!!!!

What A Day!!!

Being off work health challenges - and doing it all alone, has to be one the biggest life stressors. Or maybe it just feels like way because I have all the other biggies stacked right there too.

Today I got a letter that stated that my ex-employer said that I left voluntarily, so I was not qualified for the lower rate of Cobra insurance. I just sat in a chair in the corner of our lobby where I live and couldn't stop crying. My mind was racing with the options that I felt I had. Move, sell everything, ignore my pain and issues and just get another job... regardless of my health....so many things.

Then I came upstairs and I called the lady @ Cobra services. It's not a done deal, but she says that if I didn't resign and if I got a letter telling me x date I would be terminated because I can't come back to work because of health....then that that does qualify me for the lower rate (35% of what I was going to have to pay.)

I think my nervous system is just shot. Just too many jolts to the system. All my hair is falling out. I'm going tomorrow to cut it uber short (pixie) and a new FB friend is sending me this shampoo that helps cancer patients grow and thicken hair.

Night friends....

I swear it just felt like yesterday....

I attempt to blog everyday, but I guess I confide in that short snippet on twitter or facebook...or somedays I've just felt so crappy that I've just wanted to stay in bed (and did).

Tonight something got me thinking of funny (or touching) stories from my childhood. Who do I share those with? My childhood did have both sides, and mainly I remember the funny stuff with my brother and my friends.

For example, the time my brother wanted to darken his moustache slightly (I'm sure so he's appear older and cooler)...my mother told him to use the eyebrow pencil and just barely rub it on. He was in the bathroom for a long time and when he came out the other things I remember was my mother and I fell to the floor in hysterical laughter. We couldn't breathe, we couldn't speak.... instead of eyebrown pencil he had used mascara. It was SOOOOOOOO funny.

So, where do those stories fall into my memories and my perseption of my chidhood? It's almost like there there's still 2 boxes. One I try to keep all wrapped up tight and on the top shelf of the closet. I have read and inspected every morsel in that box and there is no (or rare) reasons to rehash. But some of the crazy, hilarious stuff...

I feel for whatever reason I have lost my 2 best friends from when I lived in Oklahoma. I miss both of them very much. But I can't drag a horses to water. And I don't like getting rejected.

Sunny Sunday!

Well I had my surgery this week and since then I've been sleeping a lot. I hope it was successful in the one part - I already know that it did not help my kidney problem, so I proceed ahead with next steps.

It's been really pretty weather which is great for the opening of the TX state fair. I can't go of course, could never walk that much and also I can't risk getting the flu. But I can see the lights of the Ferris Wheel and the Midway at night from my bedroom window. It's very pretty.

Am hoping to get back up to speed and get things posted on funky finds to sell this week...I know everyone will be wanting scarves soon and I do have some B-eau-T-full ones. ;-)

Daughters day out....

Me and my daughter (Sydney - my choc. brown chihuahua) and I went out today for a drive. She got a manicure (nails clipped) and we went to Sonic and by Good 2 Go Tacos (yummo) for the best soft tacos I have ever had. They also had these cookies at the cash register that were fresh baked and were the best damn cookies I have ever had....even with raisins. They had sunflower seeds, almonds, etc. OMG!!!! Also found out about a vegan and raw restaurant that I'm going to check out this weekend. I am very interested in the taste of the raw thing.

I prefer my veggies raw (or dried as in sundried tomatoes) and of course my fruit raw....but I have not experienced what they have - a raw pizza. So I am going to go try it out. I am getting a dehydrator and have roma tomatoes just ready to go in for dehydration.

Any tips from any other vegan, vegetarian or raw foodies - websites, books, Dallas restaurants, etc.

Check out my new (other) blog

Guess I have been struck with the darkness and light concept and know that light cannot exist without the dark. So I have a new blog and I post new art and projects to both. Please check out it out.

www.darkandcrafty.com or
www.moondarkcrafter.blogspot.com

Hope you will follow it as well as I will try to not post art on both sites, I'll either post it there or here.
