Pinteresting Day

I know, I know....my Pinteresting Mondays are few and far between...but that just keeps you coming back, right?

You never know when you're going to get it.

Well, today is your lucky day...I'm changing them to "Pinteresting Day" because I can't always keep a Monday promise.

I adore the maroon pants mixed with the grey. I'm not a huge fan of the cheetah print...don't judge me.

Gah! I love everything about this...especially how it is made for cooler weather. Hear that, Mother Nature? Enough of the 100* weather!!

These are Fudgy Quinoa Brownies...they sound interesting...I want to try them! I'm trying to eat healthier, and I just can't stop eating the goodies. Anyone else try them yet?

This guy makes me laugh every time. Blossom sits like that, too, with the little back foots sticking out.


I like to peruse Pinterest way more than I ought to. It's a nice thing to do while being a lump on the couch. Please join me, if you'd like!

I've been pretty stressed out lately. 

When I stress out, I disappear. This is a disappearance in both the physical, mental, and social sense.

 

When I stress out, I loose weight (weight I can't really bear to loose because I'm 5'10" and weigh 126).

When I stress out, I loose my brain power and the drive to be creative; the drive to be something more than just the lump on the couch (but hey, this lump has been getting a good dose of Netflix Instant Watch --Hello, Supernatural!).

When I stress out, I want to be by myself; it is nothing personal (and we're back to the lump on the couch...and back to the Winchester boys....).

When I stress out, I loose myself.

I've never been this stressed out before.

But I'm trying to break out and get back to being myself.

 

I'm forcing myself to eat healthy foods, exercise, and be creative (because I'm learning it isn't an easy job altering the causes of my stress).

 

I crocheted last night for the first time in months (well, that's not true, I tried working on my granny square afghan a few weeks ago, but my feeble brain forgot how to do the stitch. Thanks, brain).

  

 This is the first time I've picked up my camera since my last post, July 21st.

 

I'm slowly breaking through.

 

I need to learn to have faith; things happen for a reason.

 

I am loved.  

It's also been pretty sparse in the vintage goodness category around here lately. I'm not sure what's going on.

I was gifted the two bowls and thrifted the others. The blue is a lidless Blue Doily I found at an estate sale, and the greenish is a lidless Wicker Weave (Basket Weave?) that was rescued from a thrift store. The lids were borrowed from other dishes for this photo; it's so nice when they share. 

The cups are the ONLY pieces of Pyrex I've seen at yardsales this summer. Bah humbug on yardsales!

 

My collection of 043s were getting to the dangerous point of wanting to tip over and crash off the ottoman.

Thankfully, no Pyrex was harmed while creating this post.

 

And please don't feel bad for me. I don't blog for the purpose of receiving sympathy.  I just wanted to explain a little bit about why I haven't been blogging.

If I weren't so private, I'd share exactly why I was so stressed....but you understand. 

Blossom is surprisingly a good listener.

**Thanks all, for the sweet messages and emails asking me to start blogging again...that helps this stresscase**
