Lip Balm

I'm making lip balm today! 

1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup beeswax

Melt it all together in a double boiler.

Pour into containers...spill as desired.
Let it cool then try it out. It'll probably get too sift if you keep it in your pocket.

This is my first time trying this recipe so no guarantees that it'll work.

Surprise for breakfast

I woke up this morning, searched for my glasses, made some coffee, buttered my cherry muffins, sat down in my chair and saw

snow!
I'm not even scared about icy roads, just enjoying watching it fall.

Feeling Perfect

Had my first cup of coffee all year.

(my favorite mugs are from Amani ya juu)
 The windows are open - fresh air! Wrapped in a comfy blanket, full of yummy Chinese food, finished a productive day at work, went to the gym yesterday. I'm very glad to be here.  Chimichanga jumped in my lap.

Thank the Lord.

-Ha! The serving suggestion is upside down and partially melted!

Shaw's Garden

Never mind, it's closed.

Do something outside.
Do something inside.
A little dishes.
A little laundry.
Make something.
Eat.
Shower.

It's not so much the writing but the reading what I wrote before that helps me.it outta things in perspective.
 I bought my husband some flowers today.

-just from the grocery store.  I used the SuperPhoto app to turn it into a painting.

Today was the art museum

My day out

My own pace.

Then, on the way out of the park

A horse. Yay!

I've heard writing helps, so here it is

I'm a private person, an introvert, I'm a Christian. I went to the zoo by myself today!

 I'm almost 40, married a guy 9 years younger. No kids yet. I used to think, "not yet!" Then I thought, "how come we haven't gotten pregnant" and "AAAHH! Is it too late? What's going on?" Children are gifts from God.

Within 5 months, our 2 bedroom house went from the 2 of us to 5 adults living there. The guy upstairs cane first, we all adapted, no problemo. A couple moved into the basement, that's fine. I thought! I got all emotional and touchy. Different smells, different noises happening, more things in the refrigerator, pantry, cupboards, not being able to walk across the first floor naked, anymore. So I started reading the bible everyday. That helped TONS. God first, then husband and myself, then animals in our care, then everyone else. So after work today, I went to the zoo. Some alone time. I love going to the zoo.
