OMG I have sO MUCH to do before we're Christmas-bound, but I wanted to upload a lil wee Holiday card I doodled last night!



Hope you all have a happy happy Holiday Season and a peaceful New Year! :D HO HO HO!

I am frustrated because I a) can't find the fiber fill, b) don't want to make any more effing cupcake bottoms, at least not until I can get to JoAnn's and maybe get a better worsted weight for the red velvet ones, c) don't have the right colors for frosting anyway, and d) I'm ansty and want to make stuff, but see a-c. Blargh.

Why is my genius riddled with such drama?! >/ I R DISAPPOINT.

I guess I could start on something else, but ugh, my GENIUS! It's annoying to see it but not be able to work on it.

So instead I'm playing on Facebook. Dissatisfying. :(

Oh, and I'd work on my spinning, but it's hard to do anything that active and concentrate-y with dogs about. Huffffffff.

I've changed his name from Oskar to "Mr. Peepers", because Peepers is cuter and he likes to sing "Peeper Peeper Peeper PEEP" back to me on occasion.

He's also become a bit bolder.....


Mr. Peepers checks out the biznez


Mr. Peepers heads Top-side!


What is up here!?


I see something delicious!


OMNOMNOM Eyebrow preening!!!

(PS pay no attention to the box of boxes behind me...it's recycling day!)

As you can see, the birdie is progressing slowly...he now obliges to climb onto my shoulder and fly to me, but he will NOT under any circumstances "step up" on to a finger...fingers are for nipping unless they have millet in them apparently...

I'm not quite sure how to train him to step up now, since I think my previous attempts have lead to his current finger rage....Any tips out there for finger taming an aggressive lil jerk? ;)

Also I was recently informed by a local bird-er that parrotlets are the pit bulls of the parrot world and are naturally very possessive and aggressive. OH JOY! Why no one mentioned this to us before I do not know...but I see how it can be true, because Peepers has apparently decided that he hates my dog Georgia and dive bombs her every chance he gets. He's got a serious pair of green balls on him. I just hope it does not end tragically...:(

In other news...the Christmas spirit is creeping in!! I crave Christmas cookies and trees and carols! I wish I had time to put up our tree...but with my freelance and shopping and visitors, and the fact that we'll be leaving in less then a week makes it seem a bit moot. I have settled for tuning my cable to the "sounds of the seasons" channel and eating a candy cane. But all of this holiday joy is not conducive to working..LOL..

HO HO HO EVERYBODY!

WOW

So, last night I had a weeeird dream that a pipe had burst and was flooding our apartment and we had to put all of our stuff in storage while they fixed it. Then this morning, Matthew and I got up early to go to a doctors appointment, and we stepped out of out front door...into a HUGE puddle of water! There was a literal WATERFALL coming out of the ceiling in the hallway and running down the wall our living room shares with the hall. It was INSANE...apparently there was a BURST PIPE in the floor above us. It's just sheer luck that it didn't run into our apartment, we rescheduled our appointments so we could stay home and check everything over.

Obviously this means I am psychic.

I also dreamt I went to a Waffle House, so I'm looking forward to that coming true too...

In other news, Randy Owens watches me work....

So...I saw Frog... and I'm still making my mind up about it,,, HOWEVER....
