Sometimes you have to remind yourself to take the time to just breathe.<br />

Wanted to have some fancy looking nails for work tomorrow so I bought a nail art pen and thought I would give <a href="http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-nail-art/">this a try</a>. Since it was my first attempt I went minimal with metallic gray on cement gray. It was super easy and I look forward to trying some new designs soon. I must say though, trying to make designs with my non-dominant hand was a bit of a challenge but it still turned out alright. Can't wait to show them off tomorrow.Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05561175138316135139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562385.post-5017888807629414202011-08-24T21:38:00.004-05:002011-08-24T21:43:40.551-05:00Dessert please.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieP4AcpmtuhdT9fxLh4t1ITyWe7cG59Uvf6q2OCibXs_itvlrz9n6J-vMm0PXzXCEm53M7vb7HjfpmGafL18n5f0XtQFaJ6JmTALVTLtefHE8cwaV8ukKFlroNB1JCBkUWSA/s1600/cupcake.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieP4AcpmtuhdT9fxLh4t1ITyWe7cG59Uvf6q2OCibXs_itvlrz9n6J-vMm0PXzXCEm53M7vb7HjfpmGafL18n5f0XtQFaJ6JmTALVTLtefHE8cwaV8ukKFlroNB1JCBkUWSA/s400/cupcake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644618337483851922" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Can someone make these cupcakes and send them my way.

Hubby talked about taking a little vacation in a month-ish so I am looking forward to that. Did buy the song "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys to help put me in a summer mood as I get ready for work in the morning. Eventhough the weather is going to be cool and rainy tomorrow. Plan on wearing a striped cardigan over a striped t-shirt to keep things interesting. Hope life is treating you well.Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05561175138316135139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562385.post-30681318527152071382011-05-17T21:49:00.002-05:002011-05-17T21:53:02.248-05:00Neglected<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDT8xFfgOedLlxhkCOtL5v8bsy-qKNEYMxZAnvzB7PkX0YimqZOJiNnOMhKSYoAZ3BmfaaYX7_Et_ln4qsKpx4x1vhiOzjZ1xEtKPi9qv6wCKNi65FBPtKZ2AElWxGW4BR9g/s1600/colored+cats.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDT8xFfgOedLlxhkCOtL5v8bsy-qKNEYMxZAnvzB7PkX0YimqZOJiNnOMhKSYoAZ3BmfaaYX7_Et_ln4qsKpx4x1vhiOzjZ1xEtKPi9qv6wCKNi65FBPtKZ2AElWxGW4BR9g/s320/colored+cats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607883604569399618" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry blog readers if there are still some of you left out there.

I am guessing everyone feels that way about their own cat. Because I love my cat I have little art pieces around my house celebrating that fact. There is the picture of a young cat woman with a little kitty buddy, a yeti rescuing a kitty from a tree, and of course a picture of my cat looking adorable. So I thought I would share this little <a href="http://pikaland.com/2011/04/12/sponsor-giveaway-pussies-on-parade">giveaway</a> you can enter at Pikaland.

It was great to get away for awhile and have a ton of fun on top of that. But it is back to the cold and work for me. I keep writing about Spring, guess I am wishing it would get here already so I can be outside without a winter coat. I also must not be the only one dreaming of Spring because after posting flower crowns here I have begun to see them popping up everywhere, like daisies! So here is a link to a site with a </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/2011/03/diy-flower-crown.html">tutorial</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> where you can learn to make your own, which I just might do if Spring would ever get here, you can't really wear a flower crown over the hood of your coat. Also another blogger, (Blythe Hill whose blog I think is great and look at it often), has noted the trend and has some more pics of </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://blythehill.blogspot.com/2011/03/trend-alert-flower-crowns.html">fellow crown wearers</a><span style="font-style: italic;">. So if it is already Spring where you are I hope you are enjoying it while wearing a flower crown of your own.</span>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05561175138316135139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562385.post-28821683204761736392011-03-05T21:44:00.003-06:002011-03-05T21:53:42.986-06:00Half a Weekend<span style="font-style: italic;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJhps3n1qvVL0ksOM2QFUEBrBMHiX_Nainnc-y-UwfLk0xIoq8hDwVhQbO2oO9c_QUEVFw8OSvYApDRSBLl6jzgVI2XFL69DObK6jdQIql1OtozxHjv_V-X4Zr90SvxeguQ/s1600/moreflower.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJhps3n1qvVL0ksOM2QFUEBrBMHiX_Nainnc-y-UwfLk0xIoq8hDwVhQbO2oO9c_QUEVFw8OSvYApDRSBLl6jzgVI2XFL69DObK6jdQIql1OtozxHjv_V-X4Zr90SvxeguQ/s320/moreflower.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580809558343955682" border="0" /></a>S</span><span style="font-style: italic;">o far it's been a good weekend.

Also on top of all of that I did some painting! I will have to take it easy tomorrow, can't work too hard on the weekend.
