Fill in the Blank Friday #1




1.   One thing that is completely superfluous, but that I could never give up is  drinking espresso.

2.    PDA      makes me feel awkward.

3.  I can't    imagine life    without,    my family, El Novio, the Besties, & coffee  .

4.    Milano cookies   is my favorite snack.

5.  Lately I've been     in the dumps regarding coffee. Nothing tastes good anymore.

6.  If at first you don't succeed    keep on trying, because that's all I can do right now.

7.  Fall is    my favorite season and I can't wait to buy pumpkin spice candles & order pumpkin spice lattes at Sbucks!

We all have those days. You know those days. The days were your students are on task, behaving, yet you still manage to get a headache. People cancel on you and you get totally bummed out and emotional for  no reason. Those days that you need a person to talk to, but everyone seems to be doing something. Those days when you need to get out of the house and do anything, something! Those days when you feel lonely and can't quite figure out why you feel the way you do. Those days when you think that maybe you should seek out professional help, because those days happen way too often. Those days when you know what's bugging you, but can't quite figure out how to solve it or even approach it. 


Yeah, today was one of those days. 


Tomorrow is Friday. I hope it is better. I hope the weekend is a good weekend.

Crafty Saturday

Last Saturday night El Novio went out to see a show with some friends and I stayed home and participated in illicit domestic activities. No, not really. You see, I'm a bit odd in that I enjoy very much sewing, cooking, laundry, DIYs, and anything else that screams DO-MES-TIC! I'm not quite sure why I enjoy it so much, could it be my perverse mentality that being a domestic is what I should be? Or the fact that I take pleasure in having a sort of dying skill set? Je ne sais pas! All I know is that it doesn't matter. What does matter is that I enjoy being me and only me. I mean, why bother trying to be someone else, when there is only one me! So after a few hours of being on my sewing machine and watching re-runs of Melissa & Joey the following items are some of the products of being crafty on a Saturday night.
I started this skirt last year, which was meant to be a full skirt, and I redid it and made it into a straight skirt.
 *I was uber lazy and inserted an elastic waistband on my skirt. Don't matter 'cuz it looks good! :)
I made my nephew a nifty fabric number book.

Shot of the cover of said book.
*This fabric number book literally sat in my stash for over a year. They were going to toss this out at work and I salvaged it. Took it home and washed it. And now...bada-bing bada-boom! Benjamin gets a one of a kind number book!

Also, does anyone know how to change the settings on Photo Booth so it does inverse the pictures?
