What to do ~ O ~ What to do ~_^

I awaken to the sunlight and a new day.  Then, oh then, is a new day offered.  What to do on this new day?  Well, I've made a cup of coffee and had 4 slices of toast.  Buttered and a little jelly of course.  I realize that we have choices. So yesterday I chose to watch movies, lay around and play Ruzzle via my cell.  Ruzzle is like a cross between Boggle & Scrabble. Very addicting. Whew...

I am guilty, guilty of leaving my projects alone in my bag ~>


Oh me , Oh my.  This started as a scarf and then I decided to transform it into a cape. But this has been in the making since The evening that Hurricane Sandy touched down and I must admit that I could've been finished with this, but, I dwindled on, letting my project sit and whisper to me..  Work on me, Work on me.

<~~~  This is how it looks open.  I think it will be a beauty and it feels great.  I will not continue to divulge the other sources, rather where are my other WIP projects hiding about my living room.  LOL 

Laughter is good for the soul as is Knitting/Crocheting and Crafting in general.  Why who doesn't love yarn, the softest of the soft? Well those who don't know. Who have not been mesmerized my merino's or cashmere/merino blend, silk and alpaca.  Seriously, I, a knitter for 7 years, I must say that I am sort of a yarn snob.  Not quite fully snobbish but I am I simply love caressing the luxurious yarns who sends quivers through the fingers ~ stimulating the brains thoughts and ideas and patterns that scream of our attention.  Oh yeah.



Now on to life.  I tried the Vitamin E sink-in moisture mask last night.  It requires 10 minutes of relaxation.  After all that is said and done your face is left soft.

Although, I must admit that being forced to sit still was pushy.  I was playing Ruzzle while laying in bed and letting my face absorb this stuff.  My eyebrows and chin need immediate attention from my tweezers.  When I think of my past and the use of makeup, there really isn't much to talk about.

I wore lipstick at times but not for long.  Eyeliner was alright but scarcely used. Mascara, hmm, nope not until the past 10 years have I truly utilized this.  With my skin care routine, there barely was any.  Not unless I was having a breakout and need some stuff to correct the problem, but otherwise, it wasn't until Shakira [my daughter] crept into her preteens that I needed some products to handle her acne.  Prior to that I used alcohol to clean my pores.  Astringent was, scarcely used, but now since Thanksgiving, my purchases have increased.   My makeup purchases have increased.  I know names, products, companies, and the usage of these products.  Yes, I am a late bloomer, although it is never too late in life. 

<~~~ This is Thanksgiving Day 2012 the start of a new me.

Now to the right ~~~> this picture recently was taken on February 5, 2013. 

Lashes are longer, eyeliner more defined, and different products to a slight degree. But, there is a difference because I am using bronzer and blush. 

Blah, Blah, Blah.  Oh well, I am still perfecting my techniques and the time spent doing my face.  Psst.... I love the way I look when I put on my face and the eyes I catch looking. 

So I have been rambling on.  I will return to my movie Can~Can starring Frank Sinatra & Shirley MacLaine.  This is the first time I'm watching this and I love it. Now, I will also pick up my WIP and continue to work on it.

Well enjoy your day and the Sunshine.  I hear that Monday it is suppose to be raining.  Not cool at all.

You live and learn & hoepfully...

Hi everybody.  This week has been a trying week for me.  Mentally, my brain is not at work, nor is it at school ~_~ Which is closed today due to the darn Blizzard of 2013.  From what my daughter said, someone named it Nemo.. Are you for real?  Well it is what it is but my brain is in a creative mode with images of me on a sewing machine, me video taping a session/tutorial, and even an at home talk show. Which also by the way I need guests.  I've already got one and topics too.  Be prepared because you'll being saying TMI ~~> which for me isn't ~_^.

So at this moment... You Live and Learn and hopefully remember the affects of what you live and learn about.  LMAO  I couldn't help that one and nor was it planned.

So I awaken this morning with puffy achy fingers.  Aye dios.  The last thing I ate was Chinese food.  Yes, I said, it Chinese food and it was delicious.  I ate an order of fried chewy chicken gizzards with a little house special friend rice and some boneless spareribs.  Arrgh, regardless that there menu states no MSG, negative because my hands are achy. That is not including that I woke up Thursday with puffy achy hands because the night before I had some slices of Boars Head deli ham with Swiss cheese and I enjoy cold cuts.  But, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that I haven't eaten these two groups of food for a while and they are the culprits of my current avoidable state which didn't ring the alarm until recently.  So now deli meats is out of the question and now Chinese.  Which brings what someone said to mind.  They have been eating cleaner than normal so around Super Bowl Sunday they made fried foods... You can only imagine what occurred next... Diarrhea!  Yep, listen people.  When you stop eating a certain way and then eat just because... This is what happens.  What to do, What to do.  Live & Learn and try not to repeat it or Else!!!!  [laughing]
Have a great day & weekend and Thanks!
