I'm Sick And Tired...


... of being sick and tired. A direct result of the meal of medication I've been subjected to.

I bet you missed me last week. I missed myself last week. I spent most of it sleeping. I would wake up at 6am, work until 4pm, be home by 5pm and then sleep until 6am the next morning. Sometimes dinner, sometimes not. Twelve hours of sleep a day times four days. Friday and Saturday I was just bitter and agitated about being tired and feeling like a slackerooski all week so I decided to clean my place from top to bottom hoping to redeem myself from my week of unproductiveness. It didn't work.

Bitch, moan.

Forgive me.

Happy Feet



I love my Converse All Stars. These is just one of my many pairs. These shoes are special to me because I had to leave so much behind on the East Coast, after I moved to Texas in 2006. I bought these just a few days afterwards.

Monday Morning, You Sure Look Fine




Every Monday morning, Yours Truly has the honor of featuring a different handmade item here on Blogger. This week, I am proud to showcase this Wrist Cuff Wallet; Barking Dog by Mary Zoom.

"These wrist cuff wallets are great. If you are out running, walking or cycling, you can tuck a car key and some cash for the coffee house inside the cuff, put it on your wrist and off you go unencumbered. Or if you just don't like carrying any more stuff than you need, tuck whatever it is into this wrist cuff and off you go."
