But toffee candy is delicious.

A post by dadmann_walking that says, "watching a movie and they said something about 'here' s the 411' and my 15 yo goes 'what is that?' and suddenly Werther's Originals candies filled my pockets."

I took some of my work to my local gallery as last minute gifts for the season. (If you're interested in one of these, let me know.) Many pieces are like the piece on the right for $75. Priced to sell!

A picture of three necklaces. One is beaded embroidery with labradorite ($150 USD), and two are captured beadwork where the bezel is done with seed beads. The center one is dyed jasper (teal colored; $65 USD) and the right one is purple charoite ($75 USD) .

Feeling it in my bones today. Every since I broke my collarbone, I've become a human weather vane. I don't like it, damnit.

Yes! 'cause there's being naughty for the right reasons ... and being nice for the wrong ones.

A post by @wawoodworth... Santa: You wanted to see me? Librarian: Your list has only two classifications, naughty and nice. Santa: So? Librarian: It doesn't allow for a range of childhood behaviors. Santa: Librarian: I've prepared a PowerPoint to show you the benefits of proper cataloging. Santa: Oh gawd...

Perfectly fabulous idea if you ask me!

#skipday #cookies #fuzzyblanket #reading #fantasybooks #youknowyouwantto #justdoit
I'm not saying we should skip work to bake a batch of cookies and eat them under a fuzzy blanket while reading fantasy books all day, but I'm also not not saying that.

Good mantras for life.

#cats #mantra #lifelessons #catsrule
Cat Mantras: I remember that I am glorious above all things. I rest when hungry, sleep when sleepy, and play when bored. Affection is given and received on my terms. I show displeasure clearly. I demand the things I want, and if I don't get them, I demand them again, but louder. If I am touched when I don't want to be, I say so. If it continues, I make them bleed.

Yeah, and know you can tell me about that movie with that actor, too.

A post by @thisone0verhere: I am a SAFE SPACE friend. You can tell me you LOVED a book and then you can remember absolutely NOTHING about it and that's totally FINE because I'm probably already thinking about something else ANYWAY so...

I'm in this post and I don't like it.

Pretty likely, actually.

#rideordie #bff #loyal #friend #waymorefun
Just to be clear, I'm that loyal friend who would take a bullet for you. But I'm probably also the reason we're getting shot at. Balance matters.
