eats and hunger

December has arriveth. Looking out my window, I see actual snow on the rooftops. Not much, but I say it still counts.

I had all of last week off from work and tried to make the most of it. During that time, I...

... shopped, enjoyed family time, climbed a mountain, had a tarot reading, shot a gun, napped, ate lots of good food, walked dogs, (reluctantly) learned a little about plumbing...

along with the other day-to-day stuff. All in all, a good week with a minor annoyance of a slow leak in one of our bathroom sinks. The silver lining is, we should have a nice new faucet when all is said and done. We (translation: Magnum) think we can DIY the fix before having to call in the professionals. Fingers crossed.


This week is the last week of the college semester, so it's prep for finals before it all comes to a crashing halt. Along the way, I lost a few tutees who dropped their courses after falling too far behind. 


Of those who remain in the fight, I think they're all going to make it. It feels like The Hunger Games around here sometimes.

  1. Hey Abby! You asked where I got the minis ... I get most of them from Five Below and sometimes the game store and Barnes or online. The bulk of them though, come from Five Below. The name of the character is Oogie Boogie from the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

    Here's to DIY - Hope you guys don't need to call in a pro. A new setup sounds good and a little snow does still count. Yeppers. Schools closed here today. Burrr. Pretty too though.

    Sounds like you've been having a good time. Love that. Cheers and here's to a kickbutt good rest of the week.

    1. Thanks! Five Below makes sense.
      We've had no snow until this latest dusting, and there you are with a snow day for the kids!
      Plumbing components are in the house. Fingers still crossed.

  3. When Husband says he can do it, these days he means I have to help too!

    1. I thought that might be the case here, but he did it without flooding the house.
