It's about time for another frivolous post.
A few things that are keeping me sane and entertained; this month presented alphabetically!
Altoids- we're talking addiction level consumption here. I am an Altoid freak these days, the magic formula is to alternate cinnamon and peppermint.
Admission to the Art Institute is free this month! Modern wing here I come!
I have been burning through books from the Chicago Public Library lately. I love the Library's website, very interactive and extremely user friendly; and I don't have to dig through the stacks for what I want, just log on, order your book and they email you when it's time to pick it up.
Josh calls it the DS trance- I'll be into a game, and when I look up an hour has passed, Josh walked the dogs and got ready for bed without my even noticing. He's also taken to mocking me in a high pitched voice "Just five more minutes, I'm fighting the boss!"
Wow. This stuff rocks my world. I usually only shampoo my hair twice a week, but blast some of this dry shampoo on the roots when it starts to get oily, and it looks like I just blew my hair out.
Hello, sanity saver! Murph is a working dog, and he's happiest when he has something to do. Enter the Kong. Stuff it with a biscuit and some sugar free natural peanut butter- and Murph's entertained for hours.
Notice that when talking about the Kong I said Murph is entertained for hours. Tiber has no interest. In PEANUT BUTTER! What kind of a dog isn't interested in peanut butter? Well, when he needs something to do we can bust out these frozen bones, the dogs LOVE them. They stink to high heaven, but they get the dogs to sit down and focus on something other than mischief for a while.
Josh hates it. It's too dark for my skin tone. But still I persist. I adore the matte red lip pencil from NARS. It stays put and doesn't leave lip prints, and I love to wear it with my wayfarers and some big earrings.
I'm at about the half way mark with my art class, and so far my favorite thing we've worked with is this Willow charcoal. I can already tell I'm going to enjoy painting, but the charcoal is something I can break out at home and practice with.
