Public Service Announcement.
Yes, I AM going to the grocery store in my present state.
Yes, I WILL be wearing my UW Dental School white hooded sweatshirt with the big green and brown avocado stain on the front.
No, I WON'T be charming and friendly if I happen to run into you.(Not literally RUN into you, however, if I DO RAM your cart that is blocking my view of the assorted chocolate bar varieties, I'll apologize nicely.)
Yes, I AM feeling quite crabbified at this moment.
Yes, my immune system IS on an extended (read: semi-permanent) holiday.
Yes, I am feeling VERY thankful for a Gramma who lives in town.
YES, there is NO SOUP in my pantry.(No soup! No soup for you!)
Must remedy situation with the greatest possible speed and promptness. Grocery store here I come.
You've been warned...

*edited to add: Grocery store run has been completed, no cart-ramming to report*

As if any words are needed to describe my joy.
(whoops, that sentence slipped out. This from the girl who got "Talks Too Much In Class" on EVERY SINGLE report card Kindergarten through 12th Grade. I'm sure it would have been on my college reports except they didn't have spaces for professor comments!)
Happy seasonal coffee drinking, and a merry UNwordless Wednesday to you...

Project FAIL.
Most of my latest projects have FAILED. Either a project doesn't turn out the way I envisioned, I cut wrong (ARGH!!!) or it has irked me to the point that I ignore it and hope it miraculously gets completed without my assistance.
Hence the reason for lack of project posting the past few weeks.
It is so frustrating when I use up precious project/crafting time, which is painstakingly carved into the daily list of needed activities (such as FEEDING MY CHILDREN), and a project fails.
My Latest FAIL:
Problem: Two gorgeous chair revamps that have gone horribly wrong during the painting process. At this point I am considering changing from my original thought of 'sleek and classic black paint job' to 'distressed on purpose'. It's the only way to salvage them...unless I start over with sanding, cleaning, drying, priming and repainting. I'm WAY too impatient and lazy to restart BOTH of them.
Verdict: Distressed they will be to prevent more distressing of ME...
