Knock on Wood

I probably shouldn't make this annoucement so early. I might jinx myself.

But I've had a kick ass day!!! WOO HOO!!

I've spent the majority of my day just work work workin' away.  I made some hand painted scrabble tile pendants and some scrabble tile bobby pins.  I've loved making them. Wish someone would buy them...but that's a new topic and I ain't going there right now.
The day has passed by in a flash. I had a great time. I feel so alive.
Am I being overly dramatic? Perhaps.
But I spend my work week at a job that's...well....just a job. As Morrissey says "It pays my way and it corrodes my soul".  Most days I loath it.
I wish wish wish I could quit and spend my day making stuff and selling that stuff.
maybe someday.

Would it be weird to segue into food? yes but I don't care.
For dinner tonight we had pizza from a new place in town called Gusto.
Hot damn that is some awesome freakin' pizza!!
I had the Il Figaro :  Alfredo, pears, dried figs, blue cheese and mixed greens. I think they forgot the greens but it doesn't matter because it was amazing!
Tom got the Duke: BBQ sauce, smoked brisket, colby jack, red onion and cilantro.
umm...YUM!

So if any of you homies live in the DSM, please do yourself a solid and go to Gusto.
I can't believe I just wrote such a dumb sentence....anyway, go to Gusto!

Here's to another 5 1/2 hours of a great day!!

November spawned a monster

I love Morrissey. That song was playing on my fancy new satellite radio the hubby got me for my birthday.
I love driving home from work, singing at the top of my lungs, "classic" alternative songs.  My son was angry when we got home today and I turned off the car before the Fine Young Cannibals song was over. HEE

Today I emailed a friend at work and asked her if I was insane to consider veganism.
She informed me that, yes, I am insane.  But here's the deal.
I stopped eating meat almost 2 years ago and went vegetable crazy. That's when I discovered my love of Brussels Sprouts.
I lost 20 lbs.
And then I got bored.  So I started to eat lots of cheese. I'm addicted to cheese. and guess what? I gained some weight back.
So finally the point of my blabbing....
if I went vegan, I would have no choice but to eat good veggies all the time right? No butter or cheese or ice cream.

...that sounds awful.

I also asked my friend what the hell I'm supposed to blog about. Do I need a topic? or do I just write like I am now and just blab and blab?  Thoughts?
She said just blab. But I think she said that so she could read this and then make fun of me to all her cool hipster friends...

By the way, I think the whole reason I started this blog was to bring attention to my Etsy shop. Hmmm...perhaps I should mention that huh?
Please visit my shop and buy stuff! :)
