Fashion Friday:: Fall Please Hurry

Why is it so hot? I suppose there are several ways to answer that question... because it's summer, because it's Phoenix, because God has forsaken us. Whatever. I just keep waiting for the great cooling to take place so that I might return to the outside world. If only every day was sweater weather, I'd be thrilled. 

We're still a good 40 degrees from tights and sweaters but I'm biding my time and wistfully looking ahead.

Returning Home

I had a wonderful time during the misadventures of Zissel 'n Me. Didn't miss the summertime heat of Phoenix but I did miss somethings left behind during my short-lived travels. Here are my tops (in no specific order)...

Of course, I missed Eleanor, the dog-faced girl.

I missed my fella, that handsome devil above on the left with the bass and his bandmates from horizon i.

And, sadly, I missed Pinterest. Yes, I'm a Pinterest fiend. I can recognize that now.

Road Trip!

Mother and I are heading out for a girls-only road trip. Very exciting times. I'll be sure to follow up with pictures after the event.

Fashion Friday:: Darker Days of Summer

I just read Shirley Jackson for the first time and I'm in love (read more on my book blog here). She appeals to my dark side which some might contend is my more dominate aspect. I might tell them to shut it.

For the home:: Grey Couch

I have an ugly brown couch I try to keep lively (a.k.a covered) with a throw my dog Eleanor slowly destroys over time. It's not a great system but it works for the time being. I want a grey couch. I might need to start a grey couch collection jar in my home.

Mid-Week Motivation

This week has been trying but I shall persevere! If we all get through today we're past the halfway marker and the week will begin its winding down. Let do this!

I am woman. Watch me craft.

The summer heat has brought on a vicious idleness. I have certain medical conditions that make any time spent in extreme sunlight a danger and the heat grotesquely aggravates this further. One doctor told me to become a shut-in or move to Alaska. I found another doctor. Nevertheless, the summer months do require a bit of hibernation. If I'm not careful the summer becomes a blur of depression, shpilkes, and snacking. This cannot be allowed. I have decided to craft. And (maybe) clean/organize some things.

Here are the projects I'm currently considering...

Laugh, it's Monday...

Okay, so here's my attempt at creating a new Monday theme for the blog since "Pensive Pictures of My Friends" didn't really take off. Here are some of the amusing things I find during my internet romps...  Enjoy!
