Friday Fav Five V. 4

OMG  if you guys don't read Gronk by Katie Cook, you're completely missing out.  Especially on today's comic... which I told my husband pretty much sums us up completely.  XDDD

The comments on this video are full of hate about how this isn't real metal but I like it and I gotta say that it only works because it's JPop vocals over metal music.  American pop just wouldn't have the same effect.  I love how they describe it in this article, though.  "for those of us whose musical tastes fall somewhere in the middle, Babymetal is kind of like a magical, leather-clad, fire-breathing, sonic unicorn."

I should probably be ashamed of how hard I laughed over this but it's still making me laugh...


New Blog Love:  Superheroesque.  I especially love the posts How I Learned to Love the Geek post and the Public Geekness post, where we get this quote:

So true and in the comments of that post user "A Bit of Geek" was talking about getting crap about being a "fake" if you mention it too much and I think Mia's reply about how if it were a guy who had written the same post no one would have accused them of being a faker.  Perhaps not, but in my experience guys are the first to jump to call anyone else a fake geek...

Book boyfriends (or girlfriends).  Is there really much else to say?  Haha!  So tell me, who is your book boyfriend/girlfriend?

Life Currently

Working on:  About a half a million different things.  *sigh*  I have serious project A.D.D. right now it's pretty ridiculous.  I'm still trying to finish a couple gifts, my niece's Dalek, plus getting the house prepared for family to visit and a new kiddo to come live, haha.  And last week's Weekly Intentions??  Yeah they're not going so well right now.  Oops.

Listening to/Watching:   Combining these as I'm rewatching Game of Thrones season 2 so we can watch season 3.  We don't do cable or anything so we're always behind.  >.<

Reading:   A Game of Thrones.  Still.  For the past almost 2 years my pace at finishing books is put to shame by snails.  I've finished just a few books in this time (the latest was Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson AKA The Bloggess which is freaking HILARIOUS and I highly recommend it) but have been trying to read more this year.  Perhaps late night nursing sessions will help with this goal. :D  Especially since I need to finish Lover at Last (which I actually started before GoT but lost interest in because good god the will they won't they is ridonkulous in this book) so I can get The King on April 1st.

Eating:  I just finished a delish bowl of chocolate ice cream.  I just want all the chocolate this pregnancy. XDD

Loving:  How much Darius cares about K already.  He asks me if she's happy and now that appointments are closer he wants to know when we'll go check up on her again.  I just hope he's still as excited when she's here.

Thinking about:  How to get things done for the shop either in time for K's arrival or after she's here.  Getting a little freaked out by how I'm going to get things off the ground for Bitten Designs this year with a baby and a toddler.  I know I can, just not sure of a plan of attack at the moment.

Wanting:  the Tums to work.  LOL.

Thankful for:  My boys.  I don't know what I'd do without them.  Even if they drive me bat crap crazy on occasion, I love them to pieces.  I'm also thankful for my little girl who is gonna help even the score around here, lmao.

Friday Fav Five V.3

1.  The beautiful art of Vivianne du Bois, particularly her Little Villains series featuring kawaii little Disney villians such as Ursula, Cruella and Maleficent.  She has a Society 6 shop for prints.  ^w^

 Aren't they adorable??

2.  Mario Kart meets Olympic Speed Skating

3.  Damn you, Think Geek, you are dangerous store...

I need this watch in my life, haha.

4.  More art!!!  This time the art of Craig Davidson which I discovered from this post at Nerd Approved where they talk about how he brilliantly captures kids pretending to be their favorite characters but sadly the collection they show is only Star Wars characters and he's done more than just Star Wars!!

 A Life Bionic

Are You With Me, Men!  Aye Robin

You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry

5.  Naps.  Freaking naps are my bestest friend in the world right now (sorry besties, that's my third trimester exhaustion talking) and on that note, I need to stuff my face with a little food and go to sleep.  Hope you all enjoyed something on my list this week!

Tell me what you've found this week that you're in love, or at least like, with! ^w~

Weekly Intentions

 Crappy cell phone pic FTW!

I thought I'd share my Weekly Intentions this week.  This is something I saw Kaelah over at The Clueless Girl's Guide do and I immediately fell in love with it.  It feels like a lot less pressure and honestly I think I get more done off this list than a list I have to get done by a certain time, haha.  Maybe not but it sure feels that way anyway.

I've actually already checked one off completely, though it was one of the easiest of the list, but considering how terrible I've been at getting things done on time lately I'm pretty proud of that accomplishment, haha!  I got a cute new expandable file at Target (love their "$1 or $3" section) just to keep my receipts more organized than shoving them all into an envelope after I write them down in my ledger.

 Cute!  Though I'm still not convinced I like this whole zig-zag/chevron trend...

The difficult ones will be getting photos done and listings updated simply because I'm so tired lately I usually end up napping when D does, which isn't going to get any better in 2-3 weeks so hopefully I can muster the energy to get it done now.  My problem was that I was doing my product photos to focus on just the product but now I want to go a different direction and show some personality with them.  Plus we've made my studio space a little less accessible so I need to work out a new setup, too and lighting in this house is awful and moving my studio lighting is currently exhausting to say the least, haha.  Anyway, really hoping I can get that done as well as update each listing that I have one RTS (Ready to Ship) before I really don't have time/can't stay awake.

So what to-do list item or weekly intention are you happiest you've done this week?  ^w~
