August Blog Challenge Day 23

Today's challenge is to post about something that I crave. I admit, I am a simple person when it comes to this:
Ice cream. I have been craving, and sadly succumbing to my craving, a lot lately. Most specifically, I have been craving Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. Sadly, I have found that Blue Bell makes Mint Chocolate Chip Bars that if I purchase a box I will turn around and make myself full on sick from it. 
I have banned them from my fridge. And it is really, REALLY hard to not go and pick up a box just because.

August Blog Challenge Day 21


Today's challenge is to post a picture of something that makes you happy. I'm pretty certain that you all know what that would be for me:

And this is how happy he makes me in that I'm willing to show how messy the house is while I have him distracted with the television....


Mmmuwahh...that face makes me happy!!

August Blog Challenge Day 20


Today's challenge topic is to look into my crystal ball and try to determine what my future holds, where it will be, and what I would like it to be...

Since I'm working really hard on trying to keep a positive outlook I'm going to keep this upbeat as it is really a dream future. 

Long term - I'm going to be an artist and have my own studio and steady income from it. I will make quilts, both the comfy kind that are made for beds, and art quilts that would go on walls. I will have an Etsy store and my own website where people can go and order a specially made quilt for their own needs. I will also sell my ceramics (I have really high hopes for my ceramics classes that start shortly).  If there is a need for supplementary income, then I'll work as a technical writer or ad hoc editor. I'll also be wrapping up, if not publishing, my great American novel. 

Short term - My future finds me healthy and traveling with family. I'm planning some trips that are happening next Spring, that I'm very excited about. I will be living lard-ass free, exercising regularly, eating cleanly, breathing deeply, and generally living a happy life. 

Oh, and I want to live in a dome home in a really cool artist community....
