I’ve written one of these posts before. It’s similar to US Weekly magazine’s “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” list that all the celebrities fill out each issue. My list will be a little different. In honor of the Christmas/Winter season, I will compile my list in a tribute to Julie Andrews’ Sound of Music song “My Favorite Things“. Here it goes…

MY FAVORITE COLOR(s): Blue, White, Pink, & Gray
MY FAVORITE MOVIE(s): Secretary (Any Wes Anderson movie comes in close second.)
MY FAVORITE CAR(s): Audi R8 (I do not enjoy convertibles, so I do not like the R8 Sypder.)
MY FAVORITE ANIMAL(s): Rabbits, Foxes, Birds, & Dogs
MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT WINTER: sitting by a roaring fireplace when it’s raining outside
MY FAVORITE MUSIC GENRE: Almost all genres, except Gregorian Chanting. I will try any type of music except that!
MY FAVORITE SPORT(s): Baseball, tennis, F1 racing, Rally racing, pigskin football, &/or soccer/fútbol. Some playing. Mostly watching.
MY FAVORITE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY(ies): Walking, Hiking (not super rugged mountain terrain, please), Picnics, & Camping
MY FAVORITE INDOOR ACTIVITY(ies): *Ahem!*…Ok. Reading, Watching movies, Playing games, Wrapping gifts, & Letting my imagination run wild & rampant
MY FAVORITE ITEM I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: My handkerchief (which I named Tom Hanks)!

My foxy little DIY sprucing up project

December 1, 2014 in Everyday | Tags: , , , , , , , , | Comments closed

Alas, I didn’t cut this laser-cut figure myself. I bought it at Crate And Barrel, however, I did spruce this figure up a little with glitter, Mod Podge, & bows. I took a great item & made it even greater…LOL!

Let’s jump right into the extremely easy project. Here is a picture of the “before” figure:

The materials I used:

1. White glitter glue for the chest area
2. Black glitter glue for the eyes & accents
3. Gold glitter craft for the main body
4. Mod Podge to seal the glitter
5. Bow stickers for accents

I painted the fox figures with the glitter paint & glue, making tiny black dots for the eyes. I added a black bow sticker to make a male figure & a pink bow sticker to make a female figure. I finished it up by applying Mod Podge to seal in the glitter & keep it from flaking off. Easy, right?

Now, here is my finished project:

Aren’t they so cute? I love foxes… Cheers!

Just when things are starting to look good, I’m thrown a curveball

The title of this post says it all.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been battling through a mild yet persistent cold. On-and-Off coughing. Sinus pressure (in the beginning). Constant mucous/snot build-up. Runny nose. No sneezing, thankyouverymuch. Then, just when things are starting to look good, & I’m just about over the peak of my cold, BAM!!! I get some sort of illness, symptoms akin to a stomach bug or something like that.

It started a few nights ago when I decided to partake in some Vietnamese phở for dinner. I don’t think I should’ve ordered the soup noodles with the barely cooked beef in it. I think that’s what brought on this sickness I now am experiencing. (I probably didn’t let the beef cook long enough in the hot soup before taking a bite.) So now, I am having trouble keeping my food down. I can barely even so much as think about food without my stomach turning & waves of queasiness overtake me, causing me to want to dry heave repeatedly. Even as I’m typing this post, I’m struggling to hold my nausea at bay.

I surely feel as though these past few weeks, I just can’t seem to catch a break. One illness after another. I do take care of my body & my wellbeing. I just hope all of this blows over soon. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Cheers, I guess.
