de-stress

I haven’t bothered with writing anything here for awhile, because if I did it would just be a whiny, oh woe is me kind of a post, and who really wants to read about that? I will only say that in the last couple weeks a 300 year old tree lost a very big section and will have to be cut down for a large sum of money, and my old reliable Honda friend needs to be put out to pasture, which meant buying a new car for a large sum of money. It also meant spending four hours in the company of car salesmen who I completely detest. Wow, they were a bunch of jerks.

Let’s remember a happier time, shall we? This is me and my adorable niece in the chicken coop, during my sabbatical. Forgive the lack of makeup and hair styling, I was on vacation.  She helped me gather eggs every day while they were here. I miss my little helper! She also declared Bear her best friend. I’m sure he feels the same. We had so much fun at Disneyland and I had the honor of buying her first pair of mouse ears.

I’ll be back again soon, I still have egg recipes to share, cute cat pictures, gosling updates and even some stuff I made. This is still a blog about making stuff, after all. If you need something to cheer you up, Dreamkiller, by these guys and this song really worked for me. Go listen!
