Welcome

Just a few rambling thoughts and crafts from a mind that is full of both. I am talented in my mind but regularly run full throttle into the wall of procrastination. I have raised procrastination to an art form. A friend once told me I have a BS in BS and a minor in excuse making. If there is anyway to get out of doing my best, I will do my best to get out of it. Welcome to my saburban life. : ).. Lol.

Forever Comfy.. Comfy? Hmm..

 
Hi..  My name is Jan..
I am.. An Informercial Product Addict..
I could spend a fortune on these
convenient, fantastic products..
No..  Seriously..
A fortune..
Pasta Cookers..
Forever Comfy Cushions..
The list could go on and on and on and..
You guessed it..  On.
 
My friend gave me a small sized Schticky..
Does it really work?  Umm..
It does if you continually clean it..
One swipe and it's ready to clean..
Would I buy more?  Not really..
 
I have seen many a Pasta Cooker
sitting abandoned in thrift stores..
Would I run out and buy one?
Not after seeing so many given up..  Lol..
 
Now?  I've been searching high and low
for a Forever Comfy Cushion around town..
WalMart, Target, Walgreens, CVS...
Anywhere that might sell informercial products..
No luck! 
 
We had a Books Are Fun sale at work today..
I browsed through the book titles..  Nothing caught my eye..
I browsed through some of the gadgets and gizmos..
Nuttin.
Then..
Just as I turned around..
What should I happen to see??
AHHHHH!
A Forever Comfy Cushion!
There!  At work!  For sale!
Whut??
Really?!
Within my reach?!
Did I get it??
Ooooh yeah!
Yes I did!
Was it comfy?
Forever Comfy?
Umm.
Well.
Truthfully?
Umm.
Not really.
Meh.
My chair was a little more comfortable..
For a minute or two.
It still wore my tailbone out after a bit.
I kept having to move and adjust
how I was sitting.
Hmm.
Really.
Sigh.
I'm glad that I didn't order one online
like I thought I was going to have to.
 
Am I still an Informercial Product Addict?
You betcha!!
Lol.
Think I might get hooked up
with the local Fox News
"Try It Before You Buy It"
group though.
Sigh.

My To Do List..

My To Do List today was to actually finish one of my crafts, and I actually got it done.  Lol.  Yay!  Not that it's a big deal, but I finally finished one while I was working ooooh so hard at the group home this evening.  That and I got to look around on Pinterest for a while.  Oooh, such hard, hard, hard work.  Actually, staying busy and awake is about the hardest work we have here.  : )..

Lol.  Umm.  Yeah.  Soo.  My iphone is sideways.
Or the pictures are.
I emailed my picture.
It was sideways.
No problem.
Clicked rotate until it was right side up.
Saved it.
No problem.
Opened the file.
Right side up.
No problem.
Went to post the picture here.
Umm.
Yeah.
Soo.
Problem!
It's still sideways.
Ugh.
I am beginning to think my iphone is trying to gaslight me!
Lol.
I'll post pics of my craft item in the morning
when I have access to my home 'puter.

In the meantime, here are some great Pinterest finds
that I found today.  : )..

has a great dresser idea,
black matte paint with
gloss stencils.  Love it..  : )..

 PositivelySplendid.com
has this great chalkboard picket fence
idea.  Guess what?  Love that too!
And finally?  Lol.
DwellingsByDevore.com
has this awesome Fan Head
and Lamp body idea.
Awesome Possum!

Sideways.  Ugh.
Dang Smartphone technology.
Whew.

Three days to go.. : )..

I am sooo looking forward to some vacation time.  It's been sooo long since I've had time off.  I am sooo ready.  Still working on my project, but, whew, it's slow going.  I won't really be able to sit down and work on it until Thursday either.  I'm thinking it may be a next week reveal.  : )..  Not that it's really that exciting, mind ya.  Lol.  It's a craft project that I've been wanting to do for a while though, so I'm glad that I'm working on it at all.

Here are some pictures of things that I would love to have around the house.

 That looks so comfy, although probably hard to get out, unless you roll out of it.  : )..
 A nice little outdoor retreat.  : )..
I would really love to have a sun room to relax in.  Especially one that I could open the windows and let my cats enjoy a breeze every once in a while.  : )..
Great outdoor idea, especially after hearing that parts of the country might end up with over 16 inches of snow! Ack!  We might get some, but it doesn't sound like that much.  We had over 20 one day last year.  Thankfully, I'm in a job where I could schedule a vacation day back then and didn't have to go to work.  I am soo not ready for snow.  Lol.  Good luck to those who are getting it, or who are anxiously waiting for some!  : )..

Milo's first birthday present.. Lol.

Lol, just kidding.  We took the pups for a ride, stopped at PetSmart where they got to play with some other puppies, and get some toys and treats.  Milo loves the little squeaky things inside toys, so we just buy him the actual replacement squeaky parts instead of the actual stuffed toy.  Emmy got another purple, spiky ball that she loves.  She's had two others that finally got torn up.  She found the first one back when we were busy trying to find a good squeaky toy that she might like..  We weren't having any luck, when we looked down to see her rolling around on the floor, rubbing against the spikes on the ball, just having a blast.  Lol.  Guess we should leave the puppy toy picking to the expert.  : )..  Up next for the birthday boy?  A little bit of vanilla ice cream....  Woot!
Btw, we had to buy a new fridge because our side by side finally gave out.  We have such a small space, so we just went with a regular fridge without an ice maker, which is fine, we plan on getting one of these little sweeties..

It's a stand alone ice maker.  Pretty cool if ya ask me.  : )..

Ha! I wannit! : )..

Not for those who are easily offended, because, well, there are quite a few offensive but funny things in this movie.  It's Ted the Bellhop's first night on the job, and it just so happens to be New Year's Eve.  Each of the "Four Rooms" is a different story in itself all tied together by the poor, frazzled Ted.  Lol.  I skip the first story with Madonna, but the second one with Jennifer Beal and then the third one with Antonio Banderes are a hoot.  Antonio's room is by far, the best part of this movie.  : )..  It's finally coming back out on DVD and I plan on grabbin me a copy.  I've been wanting it for quite a while!

It's a Saab 9-4X.  Ohhh yeah.  Me likey!  Me really, really, really likey!  Btw..  I am still gratefully, gleefully, enthusiastically accepting donations for the find Jan fund.  : )..  Soooo.  If you are feelin..  generous..  I'm feelin..  Happy!  Anybody?  Anybody?  Bueller?  Bueller?  Bueller?
