liminal_space | making messes, thank you....

+ while i'm thankful i'm not experiencing the 112 degree temps that are happening down the hill, it's hard to feel appreciative when the heat is so relentless. we hit 100 degrees today and that is just NOT NORMAL for our mountain community; in fact, no one really can remember it ever getting this hot. we're supposed to be at 101 tomorrow, then there's a slow cool down into the weekend when we are SUPPOSED to drop into the low 80s.

fingers crossed that really happens.

+ yesterday, i made the best potato salad i have ever made. seriously, i can't even begin to tell you how excited we all were to tuck into it! i tried a different approach on things this time w/o changing any of the ingredients -- instead of chopping the egg yolks with the whites and tossing it all in, i mixed the yolks with the mayo, vinegar, and mustard and made a dressing. that got mixed with the potatoes, whites, pickles, and onions and it was amazing.

a.maze.ing.

i also made banana pudding and everyone enjoyed that, too.

that's going to be the extent of my cooking for a few days. tomorrow i'm going to have mister pick us up subway and wednesday seems like a long way away so i won't think about that now. *nod*

+ my bench brush finally arrived and it was boring, so i did this:

seriously, if it has a flat surface, i'm always wondering if i can engrave it. ;)

speaking of engraving, i sold two of my charBOOterie boards on FB and have decided to just try and avoid selling there when possible. i detest getting on fb all the time, but it's also been my biggest way to sell in the past. as far as these boards go, i only have 10 blanks and i think i'll sell them all before halloween. that's about....$350 profit at the end of everything. money for my lady farm! =D

yesterday when i was thinking how much i hate FB, i took the actual time to make my etsy store. this week my plan is to put up at least 5 things and then i'll share the link and ask you to look at it and favorite it and share it if you are so inclined. if you're not? my feelings won't be hurt at all. ;)

it's like i need a person to SELL my things, because i'm the worst about doing it. i need to get two more stall signs made and then i can advertise those locally, but at that point? i want to just be done.

in my perfect world, i'd just make stuff and someone else would sell it and give me the money.

+ i just found out my ex-gay-husband is going to be on general hospital in three weeks! one day he'll be an extra and within a year? he'll be going up against victor newman! (i know that's a different soap, but it's the only one i know.)

i may have to re-marry him.

+ it looks like mister and kid will be heading back east on the 6th of october (a thursday) and coming back the following thursday. we'll know lots more details about moving when he gets back. :) if what i WANT to happen happens, we'll be looking at new construction. that simultaneously thrills me and terrifies me. o.O

so for right now i'll just imagine everything will go perfectly and i'll be on my lady farm in no time.

i think i'm going to tidy up my work area for 15 minutes then go get in bed with a book. it's just too hot to be creative right now.
