Haha, I definitely have kebabs.

Happy Friday, gang! I hope everyone is able to sail into the weekend with a lot of smiles. I had a great day yesterday--a perfect combo of napping, school work, cookies, and scary tv shows. More of the same today, I hope!

No plans for the weekend. Grim is going to be helping his brother paint his new house every day for at least a week. I might go down and join them but they don't have wifi yet, so I need to make sure I have all of my school work done, first, otherwise I need to stick around here.

In cookie world, as soon as Valentine's Day is over, it's already Easter. If you follow me on social media, get ready for 7 weeks of bunny cookies!


QOTD: Did you have a favorite toy as a kid? I loved everything artsy, and I had this little contraption that had small impression plates with cute designs. You could arrange the designs however you wanted, put paper over it, then rub a crayon over the design and it would show up. I freaking loved that thing. I still have it, which is nothing short of a miracle since I have experienced a house flood and a house fire!

Accountability: I had popcorn. Otherwise on track.

B: Egg Bites

S: Balanced Breaks - cheese & nuts

L: veggie burger

D: chicken

Those cookies are adorable!

I've been up a few hours. I'm hoping to get a nap in sometime this morning. We have to go to Sam's today but other than that not a lot planned. I'm in a perpetual state of tired. When I do sleep it isn't restful. Some of the itching has improved. My face is the itchiest still and it's annoying the ever lovin crap out of me. The outside of my nose/nostrils and my upper l are the worst. It probably looks like I'm picking my nose all the time but it's just the outside part. Yuck.

Gratitudes:

a little extra money from my little chainmaille hustle

being able to resist bad scratches from all this itchiness business

QOTD: my mom found a roll out piano thing that you walked on. Think from the big movie. But mine was a lot smaller. I adored that thing.

B: oatmeal

L: soup

D: thinking shrimp

S: ????

Glad to hear the itching is in a reasonable range right now, or even just slightly improved.

I love all the different styles you're able to create with the jump rings! Never seen anything like those earrings. Very pretty.
