Chalkboard.

Writing that post title was really hard BECAUSE I WANTED TO SCREAM "NEW CHALKBOARD COUPON BOOKS!" IN ALL CAPS!

I'm trying to watching New Girl right at the same time I'm writing this. It's kind of impossible for me to do. New Girl is kind of taking precedence right now. Who else loves that show!?

I've been having fun. And I've been getting annoyed. But mostly having fun. I created another coupon book! And I am proud of it, as I was my original one. There's a lot of negativity surrounding me, mostly by my own fault, but I'm trucking away at it.  Adam isn't sure what kind of a market there is for this sort of thing, let alone people who understand the concept. I think most women understand the concept, but, fairly obviously, not men. Adam also has been a great (and my only) cheerleader, saying that everyone starts out as nothing. Cliche, maybe, but it's something to remember.

As far as what I've been having fun with...

Here's the Etsy link!

That's what I've been working on! As always, I had a lot of fun with them. I had a hard time with a lot of it, figuring out how to do some of it... even though it looks so simply easy... it wasn't for me!

I don't want to be famous, semi-famous, or an online-hit where I have 200 followers (to me, 200 is a lot *smiles*). Frankly, I don't have the time or energy for that. Or talent. I just want to have a baby. And however many people it takes to find me and let me make things for them, I'll be happy with. If we got people to buy a set of 5 cards, it would take 2,000 people. That's a lot of people!! And wow.. Just thought of the fact that that's a lot of cards... 100,000?!?!?! 

That's why I need Adam to tell me to keep trucking along. Someday someone might find what I make interesting, and that will be exciting. Like when Dany Rohe (a huge German photographer!) bought my Mugshot Sign when it wasn't even for sale! She just found it off of Google! HOW COOL WAS THAT!?

I've been working on other stuff in the interim, so I'll be showing those as I get the time and energy. lol.

Day 13: Glee

I meant to post on Day 12 and Day 13, I really did. I just got into a mini slump and let it slide. Yesterday I did nothing useful. I watched 9 episodes of Glee. That's it. And I ate a LOT of junk food.

Day 8: Lazy

Sundays are great days. Great days to do literally nothing.

A few days ago Adam told me he wanted homemade pizza for dinner. Ok, that's super easy. I just have to take a handful of Rhode's Rolls and set them out the counter in the morning so they can de-thaw and rise during the work day. Only problem is that my huge bag of rolls were all stuck together and I couldn't take just a few rolls out. I had to de-thaw the entire 70-some rolls. That's a lot of rolls for 2 small-ish people.

The pizza turned out ok. Then I had to make pizza today too. Even yet I had a ton of rising dough that was about to explode out the package in my refrigerator.

I improvised. I made some cinnamon rolls and a dozen extra-hugely-ginormous garlic rolls. We have so much bread I don't know what to do with it all. I've eaten two rolls and we haven't even touched the cinnamon rolls yet. I didn't have any milk so I couldn't put any glaze over the top when they came out of the oven. And I'm still not even sure that they turned out ok - I haven't tried making cinnamon rolls from Rhode's Rolls before. That's on my to-do list on Tuesday.

As for my picture today, I tried to capture a precious moment but the camera turning on ruined it. I tried to take a cute picture of the Coco snuggled in Adam's lap while he was playing Pokemon on his DS.




The whole evening was spent at Adam's parent's house watching TV. That's a treat for us since we don't have cable/dish. I found a new show that I love: Holmes on Homes. Or Holmes Inspection. Something like that. I just flat out love HGTV.

We ended the night with a new movie, The Kids Are All Right. Adam played his Pokemon game throughout the movie. It's a super awkward movie. I noticed Jerrod (Adam's brother) and I looked away at the same times throughout the movie. At least it wasn't as bad as The Hours. That movie will go down in time as the worst movie I have ever picked.
