    T Tuesday: wildly random edition

    Did you ever have one of those days weeks where you feel as if you are running in all different directions….but its just your mind.? Or is that just me? So many irons in the fire but they are all being attended so that is a step in the right direction.

    College applications along with official transcripts and ACT scores have been submitted. FAFSA has been submitted. J is several steps closer to heading off to college in the Fall!

    We had our first snow on Friday. It didn’t amount to much but the change in temps and the crazy wind has certainly taken us all by surprise. BRRR! Luckily we had gotten the vast majority of the leaves picked up and taken to the environmental center for composting. While we were there I stopped in at the Reuse room and snagged a brand new bottle of gesso and 3 cans of spray paint.

    I started a new segment on my blog called Funny Face Friday. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it up but I must say I’m seeing faces in more and more things all the time!

    And of course I’m on track with the current photo challenge. Here are days 19-27 for your viewing pleasure.

    19. Spooky….one of our board game covers

    20. Witchy…mini-me helped me with this prompt. She said my vignette looked kind of witchy (not sure how I feel about that)

    21. Night…our corner tree with half the bulbs burned out. Come on Christmas decor sales.

    22. Wicked…another board game cover…wicked genie

    23. BOO!…he’s really too cute to be scary

    24. Decoration….I do more Fall than Halloween decorating. Not my favorite holiday.

    25. Out & About…can’t say that I just sit around at work. I’m moving constantly!

    26. Pens of plenty…some of my faves

    27. Pumpkin…just another crazy weather day for us. Snow is not uncommon in October around here.

    Just a few prompts left. I really had fun and was challenged with some of the prompts. I’ve yet to pick my November challenge but rest assured I will share it with you.

    Since this T stands for Tuesday after all and I wasn’t able to sneak my beverage in any other way…

    This has been what I’ve been drinking in the evenings when it’s chilly. It’s so good!

    Tomorrow we’ll be handing out treats to all the little goblins that stop by. I’m supposed to dress up for school but I really don’t want to…plus I have a doctor appt right after work. AWKWARD! We’ll see how motivated I am tomorrow. I figured I’d default to a cowgirl. Braids, hat, boots…check. We can make that work.

    What are you doing today?

    Funny Face Friday

    The other day I noticed this old and I must admit nasty, now that it’s enlarged, outlet at work and had to laugh at the face staring back at me.

    Now I am noticing faces in other strange places and objects. It just makes me smile.

    T Tuesday: photo challenge continues edition

    I’ve been doing pretty well keeping up with the daily prompts for the photo challenge from Mrs. Brimbles. I honestly am now unclear if this is a current challenge on her blog or not but there are definitely people using the #mrsbrimblesboodaily on Instagram so I’m playing along.

    10. Writing…results of a brainstorming session about my blog

    11. Preparation…home canned goods and wine

    12. My poison…Corona with lime

    13.  Halloween memories…J circa 2004 as Link

    14. Magic…Magic the Gathering card

    15. Selfie…I improvised with my reflection

    16. Favorite…painted, decorated edges of altered books and art journals. The wonkier the better.

    17. Color orange…Castle Danger Cream Ale…gorgeous orange color

    18. Words…dictionary pages covering my tired old fridge.

     

    I did do some actual creating the other day…you can take a peek at the previous post at my art journal pages. I’m also thinking about setting up my sewing machine temporarily. I have a project in mind and do have a deadline so I know it won’t be out forever. Unless I can find one of those tables that the machine folds down into. Gotta keep my eye out for one of those!!

    My day will consist of making lunches, work, quick grocery store stop, dinner and laundry.

    Living the dream, folks…living the dream.
