Busy Bee
I’ve been pretty busy for the past few days. I came home on Friday night and managed to get all of my laundry done with time to spare so I could just sit back and relax for a little while. Yesterday was pretty productive for me too.
I like to do little things for just about every holiday and since I haven’t made any candy in a while I figured Valentines Day was the absolute perfect excuse for it. So I melted down some chocolate and filled molds and put everything into cute little baggies and I have about 4 pounds of candy to keep on my desk at work for anyone who wants it. I’ve also got a few just for home too, mainly the white vanilla ones because they didn’t set up properly for some god forsaken reason. Either way they look really cute!
Then I started working on some of my arts and crafts projects. I’ve been putting them off for a while but that’s only because I didn’t really have the time to do them. I picked up a stained glass kit from AC Moore and it’s got a really pretty butterfly on it that comes with a stand and everything so I have something visually appealing to look at all day that isn’t fake flowers from the dollar store. It’s my way of dressing up a very drab office. I’m still waiting for it to dry so I can draw in the detail work but for now it’s looking pretty good so-far. It’s still tacky which is why the wings are so dark. They’ll lighten up within the next few days, and there’s also not enough light in the kitchen right now – even though the sun is shining bright outside it’s just on the other side of the building heh.
My goal for today is to head down to staples to pick up a few things, put gas in the car, pick up a cute chinese food container from Walgreens to put the candy in and then it’s time for the grocery shopping. I’m waiting on Sean to get some of his goals accomplished for the day so we can work on getting out of here. I hate going to the supermarket on a Sunday but I was so busy yesterday with the art project and the candy that there was no way that I was going to be able to get out there in time. Now it’s time to battle little old ladies who stand in the middle of the isle and just about everyone in the meat section since it’s 50°F right now and all the snow is melting! It’s definetly a BBQ evening and I just hope there’s some chop meat left!
