See this guy?

 

This is really me.

Well, the male version of me that is.  Ok, so I don't draw as well as him (boy, I wish I could!), but this is what I looked like this week.  Especially the hair.  And the face. Remember that giveaway I was supposed to do back on Wednesday?  Well, it looks like I'll have to make it for next Wednesday.  What started as a calm and peaceful week turned ino a crazy drawing/painting blitz after Tuesday.  But it was totally worth the craziness-more on that later-but at any rate, I promise that giveaway will be next week.  Cross my heart.  Really truly.

For me, February is cozy up month. To be perfectly happy, the following are absolute neccessites:

comfy reading chair

squashy pillows,

wooly blankets (to be knit while using),

source

mugfuls of hot, chocolately cocoa

and chunky chocolate cookies.

Unfortunately, I'm in bye-bye-baby-fat-before-beachweather mode, so I should (emphasis on "should") be foregoing the last two luxuries---we'll see if that happens...

so, whatever happend to halloween?

Gee wilikins, nothing like a little lapse between posts!  I know Halloween's come and gone, so I shall apologize profusely and proceed to thoroughly bore you with a recap of our pumpkin night.  :)

Our Halloween was lovely and (as usual for us), completely chaotic.  Adam ended up getting a pretty severe spider bite that required immediate attention at urgent care minutes before we set out to go trick or treating (he was put on a pretty powerful antibacterial and is doing much better btw), so our little Rapunzel princesses had about 20 minutes of roaming the neighborhoods for candy before houses starting turning off their lights.  I had the most delightful party planned, but ended up having to skip most of the activities.  But, at any rate we still had a wonderful time of it with hot dogs, my mum's legendary chili, and root beer in ice cold brown bottles, and watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, and Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow. 

 And the pumpkin pinata, pin the tail on the cat game, and cookie decorating contest I had so carefully planned for that night will do just fine for next year...

No, it's not a poll.

I was just in a horse-yish sort of mood today.

 Aren't they lovely?

Every girl really should have her own pony.

Wish, wish, wish I could have one of these.

 And just in case you're in a horseish sort of mood too, be sure to stop by Ann Wood's tutorial on how to create your own stampede of these wild beauties.
