Well, here it is! It actually wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but that's okay. It's my own fault for not stopping in midweek to check the art! lol I'm going back in a few weeks to get some more done on my other shoulder and in the middle of my back. Soo, hopefully by the end of April my back and shoulders will be completely done!!

A Habit I Don't Want To Break

Does anyone really just drink one cup of coffee a day? (or *gasp* none at all?) I'm trying to think of the last day that I had one or none, and I guess it would have been a few years ago while I was pregnant. I switched to decaff while I was baking my bun, but really I didn't drink much of that at all, I mean- what's the point? I've been up for a half hour this morning and I've already drank two cups and the only thing stopping me for going for a third is the fact that I'm typing this blog post. Why let that stop me? I'll be right back...

I love coffee, especially Monday morning..., originally uploaded by albaflickr.

There, that's better. I like my coffee with cream and splenda. I am not a coffee snob, I will drink instant, gas station coffee, day old coffee- cold and leftover in the pot from yesterday, etc. I have to say, though, my preferred method of drinking the bean is a nice smooth Americano (with cream and splenda).

P.S. Today's Weather Forcast: Blustery with snow showers. Temps steady in teh mid 30's. Winds at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow, 60%. A slushy accumulation of less than one inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 45 mph. Typical Nebraska. And tomorrow it's supposed to be in the mid 50s. LOLZ

Hello and welcome to the first edition of "Share With You Sunday". Today, I am sharing a funny flickr photo from a flickr friend of mine, Evan. His stream is not for the weak of heart, and I can't in good conscious reccomend it, but I think it's funny. Not much of it is content he produces, rather much of it is found comics and internet memes.
I found this Obama spoof particularly funny.

HAHA, this is SO awesome! I got it from Visions in Vinyl
She actually sent me two, so I put one on each side! The color 'ice blue' matches my van perfectly. The Windstar is SO pimpin now!

7...8...

NEIN!
Haha! I've discovered what is apparently the best thing about teaching a toddler a second language. They are able to say NO! to you in many different ways. It's both cute and frustrating to tell Elsa to do something and have her yell, "NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!" and then have her follow it up with "NO! NO! NO!" just in case we don't speak German. HAHAH! Ich liebe es!
In other news, I just realized I have yet to complete my craft challenge for Christy's Craft Challenge, so I will definitiely be doing that when I get home from work.
In other other news, I think I have received the most awesome flickr comment ever written. I shall recreate it for you here:

Aww, it's a Burt paw! I love when my kitty is in my lap and dozing, then I can totally use him as a model! I thought this macro shot turned out really well, you can see all the tiny little hairs and his tiny pink toes!

DEBRI 0850, originally uploaded by kellytheshutterbug.

I favorited this photo awhile back on flickr because it looked like such a GREAT idea! I'm guessing that's cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzerella balls and basil leaves on a stick... First of all, I'm sure you're aware that combination tastes great- but how beautiful to put it on a skewer and serve it as an hors d'oeuvre! I don't know what the dipping sauce is, but if I were making it, I'd do some kind of sweet vinegar type blend.

New To Me - The photography of Eric Paul Ownes

And of course, I can't leave off a photo of my charmers!

Totally Crazy

I've had this huge burst of business energy since returning from my trip to Colorado. I've redesigned my blog. Redid all the graphics for my two etsy stores. I bought a flickr pro account and have been uploading like crazy. I started a new project wonderful ad campaign. Basically I've made a recommitment to focusing on etsy instead of wasting time surfing the net. Though, I admit, I still do that a whole lot too! (Confession: I love reading celebrity gossip! I totally need to go to barnes n noble so I can Meet Vivienne & Knox Jolie-Pitt in the latest issue of People magazine.)
I've also been buying a lot of stuff. It's a friends and my moms birthday this month so I've made a few etsy purchases (Including two crocheted worms for myself. hehehe). I've also been dealing with two etsy disputes. Two people have not delivered goods to me so that's really sucked. Thankfully both orders were under $15, so if I never get a refund, I won't be out TOO much money.
So anyways, that's the most exciting news, other than my local etsy team, Lincoln Handmade, meets tonight. Hopefully that will be fun!
