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^
3. Damn you, Think Geek, you are dangerous store...
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!!
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~
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.

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~

Friday Fav Five V. 2
This week's post is kinda late but in my defense we've been getting prepared for our little warrior princess and been buried in piles of pink clothing, haha. And new clothes for D, too. Mostly there's been a lot of laundry and errands this week. *collapses from exhaustion*
1. This video. Sometimes you just need something that restores your faith in humanity a little. Especially with our media's obsession with prefering panic and distress over something positive.
2. This Lily Munster Maquette... GORGEOUS. Sadly out of my price range but The Nerd Store does have a Lily Munster action figure so I may have to settle for that.
3. This roman candle thieving wiener dog from AFV. So thankful that Sakura is no where near this brave. (Which will not embed the way stupid facebook claims it will to save my life. >.< )
4. Jelly Splash I have a lot of games on my phone that I play with my friends (Zynga, I wish I could quit your crooked ass) but I also like to have a mindless game for when I'm just killing time while waiting for D to give in and finally fall asleep at night or when pregnancy insomnia hits (which has been a serious biznatch this pregnancy. With D I was out by 9 pm, no problem) and that game used to be Candy Crush Saga until I found out what massive dickwads King, the creators of Candy Crush Saga, were as they decided to sue another game for simply using the word "saga" in the title despite it being a completely different game and that they were trying to steal the trademark of a game they appear to have ripped off in the first place (a game other than Bejeweled) but I digress.
After removing Candy Crush from my phone I added Jelly Splash and it's a lot of fun. Similar to CCS but you make chains rather than swaps but you have little obstacles and missions the same way.
(Oh and bonus for King haters, this article of BS claims about how they shouldn't publish "cloned" games and aren't trying to go after these people for using words from their game except to protect themselves. Yeah, okay. *eye roll* Have I mentioned how glad I am I never paid money on CCS??)
5. The Match Game Productions channel on YouTube. I was raised on older TV, movies, and music and the old game show Match Game is always good for a laugh. This YT channel has lots of episodes including this one (part one of two) with a very spirited contestant. Lol.
What are your favs this week? ^w^
