Rihanna – We Found Love

I lovelovelove this song. I am not much of a Rihanna fan, but this song is awesome and makes me want to dance. The video made me cry the first time I watched it, not gonna lie.

Yea, I messed up on blogging for the month. I missed two days. It started out with Saturday being very brutal and distracting. It was not a very good mental day and by the time I realized I needed to blog, it was after midnight. /shrug. Oh well. I got pretty far, though, which I am proud of, at least.

I am still keeping up with my photo project, though. On day 76. Having the iPhone makes it easier and more convenient to take photos. Even though, I feel bad for neglecting my DSLR.

Hope everyone had a good weekend & holiday. <3

Yesterday was pretty good. It was probably one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had in a long time. I spent a good part of the day in the kitchen and then finally we ate an early dinner around two. It was delicious. We even sat at the dining room table (we cheated and pulled the TV into the room. xD)! We had eaten and the dishes were washed all by 3:30 in the afternoon. I was pleased.

Later, we lounged about and tried to fight off sleep due to being overstuffed. So sleepy! I could barely hold my eyes open.

I eventually got bored and was feeling quite cabin feverish so I suggested to go to the late night showing of The Muppets. Good call on my part. I enjoyed the movie immensely and laughed at all the silly jokes. I am such a kid and I refuse to ever grow up. Ever! I will also admit to becoming teary eyed during a couple parts. I was thankful as my bad idea was becoming quite dry and itchy. Talk about perfect timing. Either way, I can’t wait to get my Muppets t-shirt that I ordered a couple of weeks ago from Threadless.

We didn’t really do too much today. I slept until noon, just about. I’ve played some WoW and wasted time on the internet. That’s about it. Nice relaxing day, for sure.

Have a good weekend, people.

Gobble Gobble Giggle! I just wanted to say that I am very thankful for my boyfriend and all he does for me. He provides me shelter, food, and lots of love. I had an epiphany a couple of weeks ago and realized that he really does love and care for me. I am forever grateful. I don’t know why I had doubts for so long. I am content.

I am thankful that I am here with him this Thanksgiving and we are celebrating on our own and not having to worry about driving to eight hours to South Carolina or have awkward moments with relatives of any sort. I am cooking our own Thanksgiving meal with faux turkey and all the fixings. This is probably the first Thanksgiving that I won’t be having turkey. I’m actually excited.

Here is the menu I have planned out:

- Mini Tofurky

- Mashed Potatoes & Gravy

- Apple Sage & ‘Sausage’ stuffing

- Green Beans & Shallots

- Three Sisters Stew

- Bicuits

- Pumpkin Cheesecake

Its all going to be vegan (don’t knock it until you try it!) and I’m pretty excited about it. I’m making everything from scratch, pretty much. I’ve got the stew in the crock pot and gonna let it go until its nom nom time.

P.S. I entered in a nifty give away at Vintage Love & Photographs. Ch-ch-ch-check it out.

I made a vlog/video. I went back and watched it after I made it and geez it is hard to understand me. I need subtitles to understand myself. That is ridiculous. Anyway, I’m going to post it here for my two audience members.

Its such a dreary day and I used my iMac to make the video.. so its a little dark, despite me having all the lights on in the house.

Caity tagged me for this music meme. I figured it would be good for Music Monday instead of posting a music video.

That was, indeed, fun and amusing. xD I tag anyone who stumbles upon this and wants to participate in a fun little meme.

So, I did a little painting today. I have never done it before other than back in grade school art class or with water colors when I was super young.

I’m being crafty and painting on an old window frame that was in this house and I decided to keep it when we got our windows replaced this spring. I chose this particular window because it had an old faded rainbow sticker on it, and yea, I love rainbows. I noticed that the neighbors upstair window also has the same rainbow sticker. I’m thinking maybe there were two little girls that in these houses and were rainbow buddies… that’s what I like to think, at least.

I’m not finished with my simpleton work of art yet, but when I’m done I’ll be sure to post here. What I have so far I do like, other than one thing. I can just wash it off with soap and water and start all over, thankfully, since its on glass.

I didn’t really know where to begin when it came to painting. I just randomly chose paints and brushes at Hobby Lobby. I hope I picked the right stuff, but whatever, it seems to be getting the job done, this far. I just need to go pick up a couple more paints and something to set it once I’m done.

Enough babble about my crappy art projects..

I need to finish getting my grocery list together. I’m making thanksgiving dinner for James and I this year, and I’m really looking forward to it. We were going to have tofurky sandwiches, but I decided against that. I like tofurky and all, but I want something a little heartier. Either way, I’m excited. <3

I’ll just say that I’m glad its over. I’m ready for the weekend and look forward to a productive coming week. Hopefully stress-free and more signs of my face improving, even if it is small unnoticeable movement.

Happy weekend, all.

My back is feeling much better, and I hope tomorrow I can get back to doing normal things rather than sitting in a chair upright all day. It would be cool.

I don’t really have much to say today and didn’t have a post planned out. So, this is it for today. I’m seventeen days in so far, so can’t ruin it now.
