Pre-Xmas 2018: On the Pressing Precipice of Presentalia Profundus!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I swear I live near some sort of 
temporal lay line or something

I have no idea where the time goes

NEXT WEEK IS XMAS???


decking the halls

&

trying almond milk whipped cream...

the verdict is in...

its delicious!


hey look kids!

Cream Cheese made a cameo X-D


you give me a landing big enough for a tree

ima put a tree

plus we have a kitten 


this guy


Kit McKitterson


mini panther delux


Mr Mars approved


Smooth opperator


Charli Girl approved


he saw his first snow
<3<3<3

but...

...you know the drill

everything must be put out of reach...

which is not easy cuz this bugger can jump!


it all starts with just a twiggy thingy

which will be the remaining 
twinkle lights thing 
when its after new year like...

NO DARK CORNERS!!!


happy accidents
while decking out the offices new incarnation...


this was the office when we first moved in

and it never really got better than this

in fact i have no pics of when it had been

really really bad...

it was the ultimate dumping ground 
complete with moving boxes that hadn't been unpacked...
three years later and three bags off to the junk yard...
(to be clear... not our yard... have you seen my "World Worst Garden Vlog")

...even though it may have made us lol

or cry, depended on the day...


we settled the command center to the closet

close the curtains and what office...


and yes
you guessed it...

we do not have many overhead lights here

which means many lamps n lights

my fave


im settling in here later to sort some old coats

and apparently some old hangers too...

so now we have this sweet lil den

hide out

annex

sitting room

tv room

we already had all the stuff

i just twitched my nose back n forth

and *poof*

a room is made


and to accommodate all the holiday peeps

a bench was added

hey you can't even tell with this lighting 

i still haven't finished the grout paint...

soon... 

now that we are really really really

getting settled in

i will have time to do it

soon...


got that second bench...

i feel a nose twitch...

but...

I will post a bench-tastic pic 

later...

i made the mistake of thinking i could snap a pic this morning
and have it appear in the cloud for the sharing...

nope...

*sigh*

we've had tremendous luck getting the rest of the pics here...

just took two days of leaving the laptop on...

heh heh... whoo boy

*facepalm*

:-X


i found some extra pluggy inny 
candles so i had to...


this space has evolved a wee bit since this pic...

i will be doing a posty toasty vlog on the YouTube...

i will probably have to drive down to the village for that post...

LTE where are you???


painted up a bunch of stars to stick here n there

made from old cereal boxes...

who needs oat tag...

is that what they call that heavy duty 

beige craft paper that exists between 

cardboard and paper lol

too lazy to look it up?

mebbee... or maybe i had to
put all devices on airplane mode to upload a pic...

`\_<..>_/`

is that supposed to be a shrug?

omg


we had some fun with outdoor lights this year...

by fun I mean stuff kept breaking/burning out...

i think the outside is done...

dont quote me on that...

we will vlog that too...

YouTube all the time...lol


lil trees

big trees

outdoor trees...

more to come...

but until then...

you know where to stick your creativity...

in your projects...

Days in the Life: It Rained for a Month


it is morning
i am typing
trying also to fig out 
the nuance of wifi transfer vid apps

while eating ma brekkie



the electronics
all of them
and the pumpernickel bagel

that is this morning

lets look at some of the other mornings 


local doh nut shop

had all the gluten frees


schpidahs
have set up the webs


coffeeeeee
in a wine glass

because coffee


got another corner of the kitchen floor done

its only been going on a year and a hafffff

i have goals


the display of mushes
is full on bc of a month of rain


all the fuzzy glorys


even the absolutely teeny tinys are perfectly perfect


they are just amazing


and the rag weed is out

sniffle sniffle sneeze


sweet ferns are in abundance

they're pretty & we will let them be

and hopefully they will spread


rhododendron is putting on growth 
& sending out a bloom 
okayyyyy


when it wasn't pouring down
it was so hot it made the plastic urns 
go all bendy


yeah

this was a breaking point for me

i snapped

i vowed to go in the house

get washed up and just say 

go ahead stupid weather 

wreck what you can 

im not making anything else

until you calm the F down

so i went inside

washed ma hair

put on some clean
not working outside clothes

omg how long had it been since i had done that

besides for work


and we went to Target!!!

yay

we needed a few things and just took our time

btw

they will let you out of the store 

if you don't spend $200

fyi

just so you know

I had my Hamlet leggins on with
my grandpa sweater
and my lil studdy back pack 

annnnnnd of course

Starbucks

meanwhile
back at the ranch


the cat has decided to campaign 
for his own instagram


i give it one more week before he gets sick of posing

lol


we had an eat like a child day

whole wheat bun
turkey hot dog
ketchup
broccoli tots

it was freaking delicious


while having an entire month of rain and storms

you have to have one power outage

right

thats where all of those battery operated candles come in

thank goodness i collect them

lol

ok
thats it for this days in the life post
to sum up

it rained for a whole month
we now live in a jungle and i had clean hair
that stayed clean for more than a sec

weeeeee

i need to go 
hunt for cords
 to link the cam i just made a video on

fingers crossed that i make it out of our office jungle alive

I've already looked where i thought it would be

organized chaos

needs 
to get
 organized

BUT FIRST

i will do something fun

i suggest you do the same
wherever you are
i see you
and
i will see you next time
until then 
hunt for more 
fun details 
on the social medias
and like
and share
and follow
and tell all your friends
sharing is caring
and
dont 
forget
MAKE SOMETHING
