Word: Shiny Squirrel.

This week’s edition of Word is brought to us by the ever-awesome Jessica of Shiny Squirrel. Hop on over to check out her wicked fashion sense and eye for art!

My Sleep

I snore. My ex-boyfriend told me it was terrible, but honestly how bad could it REALLY be??

However if I consider the way my mothers’ snoring is like a freight train coming through the room I could imagine that there were probably a lot of sleepless nights when we were together. The sound is loud and although I try and blame my diveted septum, which I found out I had maybe 6 months ago it doesn’t really help or stop the pain for the other party involved.

I tend to hog the bed curling myself in the blanket and dominating every inch of it. I sometimes wonder how I ever lived without my queen size bed because it never seems big enough anymore. I only sleep with one very thin pillow and a pillow case that I have had for the last 22 years. I only have the best sleep when I have it.

I stopped dreaming for about a year and half after I moved to Brooklyn. When I finally did they were either super sexual, super violent, or I was losing my teeth. I have only recently started getting back to normal dreaming where I have super powers mostly ones that involved climbing or shooting laser beams.

I wish I could sleep anywhere or I smiled when I slept like her. Although I am afraid I am not as graceful and if you were to take a photo of me when I was in a deep sleep my mouth would be gaping wide open and I would most definitely would be drooling.

The Daily Eat: Fig Plum Sheet Cake.

I’m guilty of having never tried a fig. Not even once. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to, it’s just the occasion hasn’t ever presented itself. At least not yet. But not even that trivial fact has prevented me from compiling a weeks worth (and then some) of tasty recipes for Fig Week!

First up is this to die for Fig Plum Sheet Cake loaded down with fruits, pistachios and honey. My, oh my.

Happy Weekend.

This week started off absolutely nuts thanks to the furry ones who live at my house. Monday Piper had her maiden voyage to the vet where I found out she’s already been fixed (hoorah!) and in great shape. Immediately after returning home, Roxy began vomiting profusely and didn’t eat or drink for close to 24 hours. Prompting another trip to the vet and a day of worry. Thankfully, she’s fine and it was nothing the vet couldn’t fix with a little procedure. Since then it’s been smooth sailing. Last night I saw (500) Days of Summer and this weekend is showing promise!

This Weekend:
• craft night at my house
• trip to the dog park
• out for C’s birthday
• mail L’s birthday box
• clean

Note: Remember, you only have until Monday at 9am CST to enter the Louella Press giveaway!

Happy Weekend!
