hi-it's me again :)

(shot by little old me 2010)
i have a lot of things floating around in my head, so please, please don't judge me based on this post.

or at all, thank you very much! lol

let's start off with what i was watching on tv last night. know that i was falling asleep-- i have no channel it was on but it was something about SETI making contact with an E-T life form. i have to say this....

if *i* was an alien, knowing what i know about this world even JUST AS A HUMAN!, i would not plan to abduct such a race of control freak minded, power-struggler weenies. i would probably want to be left alone.

most likely, i would leave you alone and try to bide my time on a beach in maui, but again- that's me.

thank you for letting me tell you that, i had to get it off my chest. must have had a nightmare or something.

oh, other stuff in my head: travelling. reading. my research. my blog. the future of my blog.

question: should i continue on the way i have been, most honestly and regardless of critics? shall i warp this blog into something more 'professional' and therefore not me at all?

so many questions.

presently, i am simplifying my life and minimizing the clutter in my house. i wanted to say hi and inform you that me and my assistant are well-- right now, he is resting peacefully on my legs while i type this.

i am desperately craving coffee. i am desperately craving for the day that i submit this project and can get on with...other plans.

well, if you know me, you know what's going on. and if you don't, i tell you when you e-mail me- so thank you :)

how about this weather we've been having? i think it's awesome, and the cherry blossom trees around the corner have started to bloom. it's phenomenal. i love it!
of course, this has no affect on pup who has not moved since i've begun to type.

and typing i must do--back to it i go.

happy wednesday, dear ones :))

love love loveee

what i want for christmas

  • no full moons or total eclipses the week of. grr.
  • snuggles and hugs from LML
  • for small pup/ my assistant to wake up and be a little more active. he's not into this season much this year, either
  • people to live and learn and grow up. GROW UP!! geez, already.
  • on a happier note, more fun bloggie friends
  • more fun days with my friends whom I and we have shared much with this year
  • scan the pictures for my childrens book and then self publish
  • go over large manuscript one more time and self publish. note: may have to go back to coffee or redbull for just one day. ew.
oh yeah, have i mentioned that i gave up coffee a few weeks ago? contrary to popular belief, it was quite easy for me to do. especially since at the time, there was not good coffee around to change my mind.
LML has stopped with the coffee, too, so far as i know.

moving on.

  • just self publish.
that is all.

what do you want for christmas?

love me,
the globetrotting gamine

happy monday!

doesn't it drive you crazy that
you have so much to do on mondays?

not me!
i love it!
in fact, i believe i am obsessed with mondays-
i love making my to-do list for the day
that turns into the to-do list for the week :)

i love hearing people gossip
about what happened over the weekend
while i am on line waiting for some java
and dunkin' donuts...

i love to try to figure out how long
it's going to take me to finish the four books i'm reading
only to daydream about which other one i will be
acquiring at barnes and noble...

cooking...
a chicken roasting in the oven

crafts...
my office project

organizing...
all cabinets and drawers-again!

and figuring out...what else i'm going to do today <3

i know the clock turned back on sunday early-morn
but there's still not enough hours in the day!

what are you up to on this lovely wintry-morning?

a happy tuesday

hello and welcome to all my new bloggie friends :)


how are you? how was your weekend? i hope you had a lot of fun!
we accomplished a lot of "fun-harvest" time activities this weekend,
and i always come back feeling insanely happy and refreshed.

the only thing that we have not done yet this month?
MOONLIGHT MAZE! HAYRIDES! and so much more...

this week season holds a lot of weight in my to-do list.
the amount of duties i have to complete is ridiculous!

as we speak, my puppy is at resort-family. i will go pick him up in a little while :)
and today...office time!

that means a lot of writing, organizing, idea-making...
which leads to list making...

and you know how i am with lists.

happily, i have 2 pen pals to write back to,
and some time to do online shopping.

LML and I celebrated our FIVE year [church]wedding anniversary this weekend...
five! time flies...
in december, it will be SIX YEARS MARRIED! eeps!

We are trying to plan a big sort of shi-bang...a quiet one just between us
which i can tell y'all about when it's over...

very exciting.

one of them includes buying new furniture...
but it's a long-term plan that makes us happy.

(that conversation probably began when we've realized that our necessary evils would be console tables...)
we have nowhere to put our feet or magazines when we're lounging on the couch!)

ooh.
come to think of it- there's a lot of plans in the works...eeps!

well, off to list make, and attack my blog-n-tea time :)

what are you guys doing today?

love me,
the globetrotting gamine

I Heart Coffee


Anyone have a superb blend of coffee, or ideas, of how to make it kick-ass at home?! Much appreciated!

Frugal Makeup Fun


Ever have those mornings where you don't know where to begin with what's going on? Where, almost accidentally do you go to pour your creamer into a candle, and not your coffee mug right next to it? Where you start writing down appointments in your agenda book- in the wrong month?
That's the kind of morning I am having.
Yesterday morning, started off pretty much the same way. LML told me to write a letter to a hated company- which I'm sure all you homeowners know about, so I won't name names. He called me later on hysterical laughing.
Me: what's so funny?
LML: are you ok?
Me: eh?
LML: did you re-read the letter that you wrote?
Me: No. It was fly by the seat of my pants, so I didn't.
LML: Good. That's why you sound about ready to rip off someone's face.
Me: Really?
LML: (still laughing) I hate you (hated company name here). All you want is more money, more money! People are in dire needs of jobs in this economy, and you try to screw them any which way you can.
Me: I did NOT write that...
LML: It would've sounded more polite...

Yeesh.
Thus, I was forced on a spa day so that I could relax. OK?! Off to the spa I go. (Manicure: Essy Simple. Pedicure: Pink Parka by Essy)
And while I'm there, I'm thinking that the MAC makeover I wanted was $50 worth of makeup. I love MAC makeup, but do I have the time or the energy to sit in the chair for that long, meanwhile I'm doing nothing tonight?
Nope.
I trek on over to Target. Again. You did see this coming, didn't you? I got all this:



for less than $50. It's the same ingredients. I know for a fact they work, because many a makeup artist that I know use them. Did I do a good thing or a bad thing? Let's just say it seems like more bang for the buck...and it makes me happy :)
