Project Runway re runs = inspiration
I started a painting the bird house my parents gave me. I painted stems and am going to put bottle caps on them as the flowers. It's a birdhouse with a twist.
I will continue to update these project pictures.
I received a Micheal's gift card from my parents for my birthday and purchased these wood crosses. I needed glitter glue for the caps and ink for the printer, so we went to Target. 
The parking lot was filled with seagulls that went airborne when a car drove past them.
Of course we had to pop into Biglots. We split up and went looking for those "deals". I remembered I needed a clear vinyl curtain to replace our old one and as I was digging through the piles I found this curtain for $4.00. So of course I purchased the Loteria curtain as well as the clear vinyl. When we got home I looked up the brand to see if there were any accessories that went with it. I guess they used to carry the product at Wal-mart between 2004-2006. Curtain rings, waste basket and bathroom containers.

A quick Christmas post
(maybe I'll add more to it later)
23-I made these brownies and melted round peppermint candies and cut them out to placed them on top. It was sooooo good. They tasted like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
23- I also made oatmeal and toffee cookies with fresh ground cinnamon and vanilla that we infused ourselves (vodka and Vanilla beans).
24- We made tamales again this year. My grandma even came by to help out. We went through 30 pounds of masa in less then two hours. One of my friends from work came by to help out too. 
25- Christmas was very nice this year. Slow paced and family centered. The youngest in the family is in the 11th grade and none of us have reproduced. So my parents are still without grandchildren. This is weird because my parents still shop for us like we are kids. Don't get me wrong, we all love it. I got some really cool stuff this year, but when one us us does have a "grandbaby" this will all change. It will be all about the baby. As a wise woman once said..." if you have a baby, you won't be the baby anymore...." Hmmmm, damn I think that was a line from the movie Overboard... not a wise woman. I loved all my gifts and have already used the Waffle maker, bought veggies for the steamer and painted the "do-it-yourself" bird house. Oh, and the PJ's....I wearing them right now.

Not hobbies, just things that make me happy in my little world.
9. Socks.... I love socks. Fresh warm cotton socks. I even love to double my socks around the house. Thinner novelty socks with white cotton socks over. I have socks for my Vans, for my dress shoes, for my lace up Vans, my New Balance, for my hiking boots, yes I have 100% wool hiking socks and sock slippers.
6. Talk radio at the house. When I home alone I put on radios ... all of them, so as I clean and go from room to room I don't miss anything they are saying. I have the cats addicted to talk radio. It calms them and puts them to sleep.
2. Watching Project Runway Canada, ANTM, Project Runway and Family Guy episodes on Youtube. I also watch Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy online. ( we refuse to get cable ever since we could not afford it ten years ago because we were poor college students, and why when it's all online).
1. Retail Therapy. If I'm really feeling blue I need to get out and buy something. Even its $1.00 scrap booking stickers from Big Lots. The lost images of the last two weeks

In my life I have met many different friends. One of my friends is an English teacher. I read her blog tonight and felt like I wish I could help her more. I know it's hard to be away from her family on top of it all. Here I am with my family no more then minutes away from me, yet I find myself all holed up in our house. We did not put up our tree. I did not participate in the office secret Santa, nor did I do the cookie exchange. I just am not happy this Christmas season. The thing is, no one at work knew. I kept my professional face on. It's a political battle at my job and there can be no sign of weakness. I turned it into a game. As soon as my door opened for clients, bam there was a smile on my face, presentations ready and I stayed on my game. The only ones that sensed something was wrong was my interns. They are with me every second. They see me with clients, they see me crunching numbers, they see me on my down time. Even Lunch. Since the whole curtain and cat thing I have not had a desire to leave my house. We out shopping for the interns and I had a lot of fun, but other then that... I don't want to talk to anyone. It hurts still. All of it. The weekend I fall apart again. Probably from not thinking about it during the week. The weekend is down time. Personal reflection time. Time that my eyes water and heart aches.
It's Saturday morning.
Did not finish my post. Computer battery died. It was too cold to get the power cord, so I stayed in bed and went to sleep. He had already fallen asleep next to me. Right now he is out jogging and I'm typing away while sipping on coffee in the kitchen on our wonderful new dinning set. (we picked this up last weekend). I'm going shopping for my grandma, and we have to pick up a basket thing to wrap M and M's gift. I'm getting out of the house. My mourning period is over. I'm on vacation. Till the new year. Well I might put in a few hours in between. All meeting moved and teleconferences set. E-mails ready and net forum to run.... all to stay out of the office and to work in my yoga pants and long sleeved pull over of my choice.
